A Gaze.


About six weeks after the birth OF our little child
spot, not exceeding the size of snail shot, made
its appearance upon the fOrehea just ut the inner
angle of the eyebrow, close to the nose. At first
we supposed it to be mere mark or spot that
young children are not unfrequen!iy subject to-
But as time passed on it grew rapidly and SEEM
ed to assume regular organization of its own,
that fears and suspicious for the welfare Of the
child became much ar0used-so much so that we
at last concluded to apply for medical aid. After
an unsuccessful treatment for three months by
other means than the knife, we gave the case up as
hopeless and prepared ourselves we'll as we
could for its fatal termination. But as hope is as
lasting as life, determined to take the case to
Atalissa and submit it to the care of DIR. ID. l..
Rowe, who. after an examination, pronounced it
malignant fungus growth, that was fast assuming
all the features of cancer and doing its work
of death. Owing to the peculia location of the
disease we were promptly told that the only atert
native was the knife and as the child not vet
seven months old, that the chances were agains-
it. Eut death was inevitable in its present
dition, willingly gave our child up, hoping fer
the best. On the LIST day of March Dr.. D. L. Rowe
performed the operation by the use of the knife
with marked success. Notwithstanding the deli
cate age of the child, chlorof,'m used to its
fullest extent and in two ard a halt minutes the
| entire mass was removed Curing the operation
three arteries were cut but were so promptly ia
ken up that not over halle pint of blood was lost
From the time OF the operation the 10th of prii
the wound was dressed only six times but always
under the special care of the doctor. And now we
have to announce to the world that our dear child
is given back to US, to all appearances well, and
| almost wit" out We feel il 4 duty we owe
to the public especially the afflicted to make these
statements that they may know where to get relic
from the many ills shat flesh is heir TO. And al
should congratula E themselves that we have one
among us whose knowled .e of his profession ans
decision of character ever prompts him to COM
boldly forward to relief n the discharge Of hi
high calling DAVIS UCoNNoR.

from its attacks, nor is there one which it NAV

caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis

Its effects commence By dcpo tion from the
blood of corrupt on ulcrlous matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, tlepresscs
the energies of life, SO that scroiulous constiu-

quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scroiulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint III the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofuous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of ali the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter OF all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in

the blood by an Alternative medicine, and III

FRIEND MAu1N. - AS your valuable paper
comes to the hands of nearly every citizen in
the county, and you particularly favoring the
idea of the improvement Of the stock in the
country, I deem it proper to inform the
public, that our good friend, Chas. Van Straw
benzie Thorne, of Oakland City, has purchased
the entire stock of cattle, known as the "Dur
hams" advertised at Page & Cranes distill-
cry, by j. G. Slime. The stock is Of the
purest blood in the State of Iowa, as the pub
lished pedigree will show. "Fine to 7"
The people of the Forks of Cedar and Iowa,
may well be proud of the energy of Mr.. Thorne,
as he is most certainly a man of the people
and obEging in the highest degree will
keep the stock for the accommodation of all
who may feet disposed to take an interest in
making the Forks of Cedar and Iowa the
place where fine cattle can be found.
If Mr.. Thornes stock is encouraged for three
years Gas there is no doubt it will beg; and
by the-way, the whole country is interested in
getting rid of Scrubs" as the same feed and
time on "Durhams," will produce double the
number of pounds and dollars, that Scrubs
could ever produce-hence the necessity for
farmers to take an interest fin favoring Mr.
Thorne's enterprise.
| Mr. Thorne will be liberal in his charges, as
his object is to be general benefactor to his
neigbors therefore, he may well calculate on
a unanimous encouragement from the people
of the district in which he lives.

and well remarked, that there is no enterpris
in which the farmers of this section of coun

advantage to themselves, as that of supplying
