DIR. Schenck'S Mandrake Pills
A Substitute for CalOmel.

These Pills are composed of various TO
having the power to relax the socretions OF t
liver as promptly and effectually as blue pill or
mercury, and without producing any of those
disagreeable or dangerous effects which often
follow the use of the latter.
In all bilious disorders these Pills may be used
with confidence, as they promote the discharge
of Initiated bile, and remove those distractions
from the liver and hillary ducts, which are the
cause of bilious affections in general.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS cure Sick
Headache and all disorders of the Liver, indi-
Gated by sallow skin coated tongue, costiveness,
drowslness, ana q general feeling OF WEAKNESS
and lassitude, showing that the liver Is In q tor
MD or INSTRUCTED condition.
In short, these Pills may be used with advan-
tage in all cases when purgative or Alternative
medicine is required.

Rricf Notices.

We invite attention of our many Ag-
ricultural and Horticultural readers, to
the advertisements in this paper which
especially interest them.
Our opinion is that no matter how
many or what newspapers and Agri-
cultural journals farmer may take, if
he does not add the 4merioan Farmer to
the list, he is shutting one eye to his
own interest at the rate of about $40
year. 1t is published by John Turner,
Rochester, n. Y, at the low price of

their attention to that best of Agricul
tural, Horticultural and Family Jour

Beef Cattle shou,a he Fa,.

Farmers sell too many of their beef
cattle when they are in merely ordinary
beef condition. In doing this there is a
twofold loss that but few consider. The
animal yields less number of pounds,
and the meat brings lower price. Be
tween ordinary beef and really choice
fat beet, there is always a difference OF
two or three cents per pound. and this
difference, when added to the whole
number of pounds when the animal is
in the best condition, will be found to
be no mean amount. Nothing pays bet
ter than the few bushels of grain or the
few days upon good June grass, that
puts the finishing touch upOn what Is
generally denominated good beef ami
NAL. Those of our readers who have
followed this often repeated advice in
our live stock market reports, are wit
nesses to its soundnesss Do not be in a
hurry to market under ordinary circum-
stances, until cattle are really fat. The
same applies to all other market ami
mals.-ET.
