this expression from persons reading advertise
ments OF patent medicines and in nine cases out of
ten they may be right 1t is over 19 years since
introduced my medicine, the VENETIAN LINIMENT,
to the public. I had no money to advertise it, so
left it for sale with few druggists and store
keepers through small section of the country
many taking it with great reluctance; but told
them to let any one have it, and if it did not do
all l stated on my pamphlet, no one need pay fer
it. In some stores two three bottles were taken
on trial by persons present 1 was, by many,
thought crazy, and that would be the last they
would see of me. But knew my medicine was
humbug. In about two months I began to receive
orders for more Liniment some calling it my val
liable Liniment, who had refused to sign a receipt
when left it at their store. Now my sales are
millions of bottles yearly, and all for cash, war
rant it superior to any other medicine for the
Of Group, Diarrh9a, Dysentery, Collie Vomiting,
Spasms, and Sea-siekness, as an internal remedy.

Gayeties of the Village.

Our village has never been more de-
hchtfullv gay and social than during
the present Winter. Early in the sea-
sonr our good ladies improyiscd new
system of merry making, and their IN
yention has been attended with marked
success. The stale and expensive old
custom of giving evening entertainments,
or parties, and sending cards Of invita-
ton to our neghbors and friends, has
been fatty ignored, and q substitute has
been adopted far more rational and pop
ular. The custom of the season has
been to gather, en- naasse, about seven
o'clock, p. NJ, at some designated resi-
dence in the village-thc bare announce
ment being made, that ''Snrprlse Far
ty" is meditated. Next comes the ap-
point,ncnt of leader for the evening
who has been aptly styled the "Qucon
Bee" When all have assembled, the
Queen takes the lead, the rest follow
and the whole village suddenly and un-
expeetedly, of course, make their entire
into the mansion of some surprised resi-
dent, and take possession of his cstab-
lishment, nc ct armis. But the surprised
Individual has no cause for alarm. The
imtruders bring with them everything
needed for the occasion, and superintend
the affair from the beginning to the
close.
We have had many Of these delight
ful gatherings during the Winter, and
many more We hope to see. They have
been to US the source of much genuine
enjoyment and amusement, and we ac-
knowledge our indebtedness to the au-
thors of surprised parties for the many
delightful evenings we have spent, If
there are any "Old Fogics'' in our
midst, who prefer the old to the new
system, we lay the guantlet at their feet
and invite them to the combat. We do
not wish to be understood as invoking
discussion, or the duelio, but we simply
wish to say to them, that we shall visit
them with the penalty of grand sur
prise. Immediately upon tie conclusion
