The Cattle Disease.

The Cattle Disease.
Which has Carried off so many hun
dreds of cattle in the Eastern states,
has been in our midst, and although
it has subsidized for the present, may
appear again at any time. We had
the pleasure of seeing Mr.. c. s. Hir-
ner. of Allentown, Pa, a few days
ago, who has been treating the disease
successfully in Massachusetts, with
the following remedy which he says is
a sure preventative and cure for the
disease in its first stages.
First, rub the horns and neck of
your cows well with tar, then give
them daily two tablespoonful Of Lee
high Cattle Powder, and two table
spoonsful of charcoal and salt.
This cure is said to be the best yet
tried, and for the accommodation of
citizens in this section of country, Mr..
Hirner, has appointed Mr. s. II. I'll.
tus, of this place, agent for Hunterdon
Co. This is certainly cheap remedy,
and no one having cattle should ne
glect trial of it. by which many val
liable cattle may be saved.

We know of no better illustration of
this fact than the wonderful effect of
the Oxygenated Bitters, in Graduating
from the human system dyspepsia and
all functional diseases of the stomach,
and restoring impaired digestion. 1t
is no new remedy. Ten years of trial
by the pnblic has established it as a
standard medicine; and no family in
the country should be without it as a
safe and sure remedy with both sexes
and all ages. In our large cities it
has been much used by the regular
physicians, and is Endorsed by some of
the strongest certificates from well
known individuals. For sale by all the
druggists. - Weekly Novelette,.

Burglary


Mr.. EDITOR We wish to correct
a mistake which appeared in the Bea
con in regard to the burglary at
Frenchtown. The clothing store was
not entered, it was the factory il the
rear of the store, and entirely discon-
nected with it. The coats were not
finished. The clock was taken by
raising the kitchen window, and pass
ing through into the eating room, and
passing out the same way. Burwell
has made no offer to recover the stol-
en- goods. Says he would like to have
the clock. He is still manufacturing
all kinds of fashionable clothing which
he sells 30 cheap that 1t will not pay
TO steal them.

INPEC TIN
The Persian Fever Charm (!

tINOR the prevention Of Fever and Ague and
i Bilious Fevers This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge of the present
proprietors by a friend who has been great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphratus, he ex.
perienced q severe attack of Fever.and Ague
On discovering his condition. one of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
!" Wear this and no fever will touch you.' Al
though incredulous as to it's virtues he COM
piled and experienced immediate relief and has
since always found il an effectual protection
from all malarions complaints.
On further investigation he found that the
Doatman attributed to it miraculous powers,
and said that it could only be obtained from the
Priests Of the Sun. Sometime afterwards, the
gentleman in conversing with Priest obtained
from him the secret of its preparation. and as
certained where the medicinal herbs were found
OF which 1t was compounded The wonderful
virtues of this article have induced full belief
N tne minds OF the natives in the miraculous
healing powers Of their Priests.
Since his return to America, it has been tried
with the happiest effect by several Ladies and
Gentlemen of high character, who have given ii
the most unqualified praise. This remedy HAY
ing been specific in Persia for hundreds of
years, for the prevention and cure of fever and
agne and Bilious Fevers--is now offered to the
American people.
1t will be sent by mail. prepaid with full
directions for use, on receipt Of one-dollar.

of frankincense, and SOW it up in a

the stomach. We counsel the afflicted
to try this simple remedy.
