FACTS o THE PEoPLE.-It is a well
established fact that no preparation has
ever been placed before the public, that,
as a remedial agent for the safe and
speedy cure of Coughs, Colds, Group, In
fucnza, Hoarsness. Tickling in the
Throat, Soreness of the Chest and Lungs,
and the relief of Consumptive Coughs, is
equal to Goes Cough Balsam. AL
though not known in the Western States
until the fall of 1868, over 800 900 bot
ties of it were sold and used by the peo-
pie ; its immence popularity being the re-
suit of its undoubted merit. The propri-
etors, Messrs. G. G.. CLARK Dc Co., of
New Haven, CT, who are among the
most reliable of the Eastern Drug Hous-
es, have offered to any man who would
produce an article that would cure any
Lung and throat affections as quick as
Goes Cough Balsam, a reward of 500,
and are without any taker, although the
offer has been made public over two years.
The bottle compares frvorably in size
with any of the IS cent preparations, and
its strength is second to none, making it
not only the best, but the cheapest reme-
dies in the world. We have the united
testimony of such houses as Lord &
Smith Fuller, Finch & Fuller; Brun.
ham & VanSchaack j. II. Reed & Co.
and Fl. Scovill, all heavy drngests in the
cit of Chicago, together with the assur-
ance of wholesale and retail druggists in all
points of the Northwest, hat they are
selling more of this preparation, and that
it gives greater satisfaction than any 9TH
er Cough Balsan now extant. No family
should be without it; it is within the
reach of all, the price being only 40 cts.
In time of health, provide for disease

THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.

THE VALUE OF A NEWsPAPER.-The
importance of a good newspaper in the
hands of every family cannot be over-esti-
mated. Indeed there is no family, we
care not how limited its means, that
can afford to be without a weekly paper
of some kind. While there are some
publications calculated to exert a wider
field of usefulness than others, yet the
most barren paper brings something new,
and is a school in every family, worth
ten times its Gust. Children read, or
hear read, its contents, gain intelligence of
the affairs of the world to be obtained
from no other source, and acquire knowl-
edge of moro importance to them in life
than a present of fifty acres of land or a
small fortune in money. Many parents
do not seem to comprehend the great i'm
p~ortance of newspaper in the family, and
by doing without it, allow their children
to grow up in ignorance. Full one half
and an important half of education, as
respects the business of the world and the
ability to rise and make ones self respect.
able in it, is derived from newspapers
And then, too, by being a constant read.
or of the newspapers we are always kept
posted as to where the most advantageous
bargains can be secured when we want to
make purchases in the line Of clothing,
dry goods, groceries, &c. The people are
beginning to find out that those who ad-
vertise are the ones that sell the cheapest.

s- In this county the potato rot is
widespread. We hear of great complaint
in regard to it. We know of some per-
sons who have laid in their winter supply
of potatoes, which in outside appearance
are as fine looking as potatoes well can be,
but on examination are found to be utter
ily worthless. We think we are perfectly
safe in saying that two thirds of the crop
in this county will be destroyed by the rot.

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor
of the Encyclopedia of Religious knowledge
and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favor or recon-
mend Patent Medicines in general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effects: L
yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man
may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope that he may thus
contribute to the benefit of others.
1 do this most re Oily in regard to Hoof-
and's German Bitters, prepared by DR.. C.,
NJ. Jackson, of this city, because 1 was pre-
JUDGED against them for many years. under
the impression that they were chiefly an al
coholic mixture. 1 am indebted to my friend,
Robert Shoemal er, Esq, for the removal of
this prelude e by proper tests, and for en-
~couragement to try them, when suffering
from great and long continued debility. The
use of three / ottles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year., was followed
by CIVIC ent relief and restoration to q degree
of bodily and mental vigor which had not
felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. 1 there fore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the
use of them.
