A NEw ERA IN MEDICINE on THIS Corr
celebrated dlchemisf, DR.. Hepserdam, of the
ancient city, Pekin, China, is now intreduc-
ing his great medicine, known in the world
as Eureka Life Blood ELIXIR. Travellers and
medical writer's speak of this medicine as
the most wonderful discovery in the whole
AateriG Nedicd, which is now finding its way
into this country. We understand this great
chemist and medical man, DR.. Hepserdam, is
establishing agencies in the largest cities
for the sale Of the Eureka Life Blood Elixir,
and If it performs the cures claimed for it
in the old world, and among the ancient and
peculiar people of Chiaa, where it is said to
prolOng life to a great age, we shall no doubt
soon become familiar with its most wonder.
full healing virtues iu this country.
We clip the above from the Memphis DAILY
Appeal of the lIth inst, since which time
we learn that the enterprisng firm of ]. B.
WATSON & Co., Wholesale Druggists of that
city, have secured the agency for the sale Of
this great mediscian to the trade throu ghout
the South and West, to whom orders may
be addressed. The NaruelIous and almost
Miraculous Cures, this great Chinese discovery
in medicine has performed in China and over
the Old World generally, for many years past,
is truly wonderful and we have no doubt
its good effects will soon be felt in this coun.
try. See the card of the Eureka Life Blood
EiirT in another column Of to-day's paper.

E But few people are aware that
they do wagons and carriages more
injury by greasing too plentifully
than in any other way. A we'll made
wheel will endure common wear from
ten to twenty-five years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and prop.
er iam0unt of grease; but if this
matter is not attended to, they will
be used up in five OF six wears.
Lard should never be used on a wag
on, for it will penetrate the hub and
work its way out around the lemons of
the spOkes, and spoil the wheel. Tai.
low is the best lubricztor for wood
axle-trees, and castor oil, for iron.
just enough grease should be ap-
piled to The spindle of a wagon to
give it light coating; this is better
than more, for the surplus put on
will work out at the ends, and be
forced by the shoulder-bandsa and
nut-washers into the hub around
the outside of the boxes. To oil an
lron-axle, first wipe the spindle clean
with a cloth wet with spirits of tur-
pentine, and then apply a few drops
Of castor oil near the shoulder and
end. One teaspoon full suffices for
the whole.
