WHooPING GoUGH.-The proofs of cures of
the most distressing cases Of whooping-cough,
by DR.. Strickland's Mellituous Cough Balsam,
speak louder than words to the merits of this
| incompatible remedy. A grateful patient
writes: 81 am happy to bear my testimony to
the wonderful powers of your Balsam in curing
my children of the most distressing whooping
cough, after every other means had failed"
Can any result be more gratifying? What q
load of suffering was removed by the of this
noble Cough Balsam. Sold at No. East Fourth
street, Cincinnati, Ohio, and b. all druggists
% cents per bottle. octl1dwlm.

"Canst thou administer to a mind diseased?"
asked the great dramatist. Yes say we, and
"pluck from the heart the rooted sorrow, too"
WRIGHTs REJUvENATING ELIXIR has such
marvellous power in demonstrating the dropping
energies that it is like an invaluable boon to
both sexes. Thelassitude and debility, the hys-
terra and fainting so prevalent among abe gent
Ter sex, need not exist when that valuable re-
storative is at hand for use it is in the form of
a pleasant and palatable liquid, and should ever
be present on the toilet table; free from the del
eterious minerals usual with cosmetics, it is the
greatest vegetable restorative that has yet been
made known for the benefit of the debilitated
portion of the human family. Sold by all re-
spectacle druggists throughout the United
States and Canada octilGWIm.

time, in speaking of il, said he had never read
more ridiculous nonsense. From he moment
the ickets brought in v"r} f}at they had
been attacked by q heavy force OF the enemy.
until The shooting ceased, he. with several or
his staff, were on the paraper OF the works,
and did not see any enemy. That there Wa
an immense Quantity OF ammunition Wasted
there Is 20 doubt.
The. unst highly coI5red statement we have
seen is that Of Commandtr Lowry, OF the

RECEIPT FOR CURING HAMS.

The following receipt for sugar curing
hams is the best we have ever seen tried
and although not exactly the season fo
sailing pork, our readers can cut thi.
out of the paper and preserve it till mex
Fall, and if they will follow the direc.
tions we will warrant them to have the
incest sugar cured hams that the MAORI.

molasses till the mixture attains the
Color of brown sugar-add water till the
composition is reduced to the consisten-
cy of thick paste.
Lay the hams, skin down, after filling
the hook end we'll with the mixture, or
a board, and rub the flesh part of the
meat we'll with the paste, leaving thick
coat of the composition on the ham,.
Sailing boards should be prepared by
mailing strips on the sides of the boards,
which may be any length preferred, and
sufficiently wide to allow ham TO lie
between the strips.
The pieces should not be piled ono on
another, but laid side by side on the
board, which should be little elevated
at one end, and the other end placed on
a tub or other vessel to receive the drip
pings. The drippings should be poured
over the meat two or three times while

time for 10 pound hams to remain il

al the juices are preserved, which is cx.
tracted, to great extent, by placing
