GARDEN WALKs.-It is common, when
forming walks, TO mako them six or eight
inches lower than the adjoining border.
This practice came to Us from the old
country, and however desirable in a eli
mate sboundiDg in moisture, is erroneous
in our dry, clear, sunny land. There, it
is designed to drain the beds; here, if
our land is first prepared as it should be,
no such drainage is necessary; IN the
contrary, we want to so form our garden
beds and borders. that during the warm
spring, and summer, every shower of
rain viii be caught, and remain on them
not Immediately run off, by means of a
ditch walk. Make, then, all your gar
den walks, SO that the center of the
walks will be two inches higher than the
adjoining border; every shower will
then be retained where the growing
plants can have the benefit of it.

MEDICINE &C.
Disease Vanouished
By DR.. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies


A FTER years of study, analysis and ex-
dish Physician succeeded in producingamedi-
cine from the mountain herbs of his native
land, which acts directly upon the causes of
disease in the blood, and by restoring the cor
rupted fountain of life to q condition of health
and purity, expels disease from the system
wherever it may be located, or whatever may
be its character. Indigestion, nervous COM
plants, epileptic and other fits, coughs, con-
sumption in its early stages, sore throat, bron-
ehitis, fever. and ague, asthma, low spirits, sex
ual ~incapacity, feminineweakness, pricking of
the skin, symptomatic of paralysis, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, tumor, cancer, diabetes, lassi-
tude and debility, diarrhe, and all other dis.
orders of the organs of respiration, the liver,
the kidneys, the stomach, the nerves, or the
muscular fibre, are unerringly cured by this
preparation. 1t is to the MATERIEs MoRBI, or
seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid
it neutralizes them with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY,
while at the same time it regulates the secre-
lions, removes distractions from the bowels,
creates appetite, renews bodily vigor, and re-
generates every animal function. Such is the
nature, such are the effects of DR.. Roback's
famous SCANDINAVIAN BLOOD PURIFIER, which,
takenin conjunction with his BLooD PILLS, will
not only obliterate the most painful diseases,
but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life
beyond its ordinary span.

FARMERS, NOTE THIs.-In a cloudy
morning, it is a matter of Importance to
the farmer, to know whether it will be
sunshiney or showery in the afternoon.
IF the ants have cleared their holes nice
Iy, and piled the dirt up high, it seldom
fails to bring a clear day to the farmer.
Spider webs win be very numerous about
the tops of the grass and grain, some
cloudy mornings; and fifty years obser-
walton has shown the writer of this, that
these little weather-guessers seldom fail
in their predictions of a fair day.-Eng-

DIR. RoBAcK-Sir,-The last three bottles o
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying
Pills, have relieved me of the last vestige of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure all but
miraculous. After having suffered the most
acute agony, almost without intermission for
eight years, and being for three years a cripple,
1 can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo-
mcnt, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies fer only three months and a few days.
1 am a hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor, and entirely free from pain. When I
first applied to you, by letter, for a supply of
your medicines, 1 was little better than a an
natical skeleton. For more than two years I
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body, had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, I felt that a complete re-
generation of every animal function was in
progress. I was not deceived. 1 I'm now, at
81 years CT age, as free from every symptom of
rheumatism as 1 was at 20. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and l am willing, if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that this letter should be made
public.
