WHEN TO CUT WHEAT.-There is
right and a wrong time in which to cut
wheat. AS the result of careful exper-
iment made by a correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph, it has been as
certained that the proper time to cut
wheat is when the grain in the middle
Of the ear can be crushed between the
fingers and leave nothing but the husk

around its edges.

Disorders OF the Stomach

Are the sources of the deadliest maladies. Their
effect is to vitate all the fluids of the body, and
to send q poisoned stream through all the chan
nes of circulation. Now, what's the operation
Of the Pills? They cleanse the bowels, regulate
into natural condition, and, acting through
the secretive organs upon the blood itself, change
the state of the system from sickness to health,
feet upon alltts parts and functions.

The terrible bodily and mental pangs which
characterize Dyspepsia are at once mitigated
by the Pills. Diarrhoea, constipation, headache,
physical prOstratiOn, nervous tremors, hot flush
es, spasms, affections Of the kidneys, hemmor-
rhoids or piles, and, in fact, all internal COM
plants, from W nateFer cause arising, give way
nary remedy. AS specific for dyspepsia, and
the disorders connected with It, or growing out
of it, the pills are always to be relied on when
every other medicine and mode of treatment
has utterly failed.
