LATEST DISCOVERY IN
Medication.

THE great difficulty which physicians have
III been laboring for centuries to overcome, has
at length been obviated. Vegetable Cathartic
and Alternative efficient than any mineral
preparation of the same class, and agreeable to
to the taste as ordinary candy, is now offered to
the sick in the form of Lozenge.
DIR. Ermus Winslow's Liver and Stomach
Lozenge is the most important medical novelty
that modern chemistry has produced 1t contains
two botanical extracts perfectly harmless in them
selves, but embodying all the remedial properties
of mercury, and destined in this pleasant form to
supercede and Danish from general use, the nause-
GUS pills and potions of which that dangerous ex-
citant is the main ingrediant. More than
ONE THOUSAND EXPERIMENTS
were made by the inventor of this peerless remedy
before it was brought to its present state of per-
fection. The Lozenge is perfectly harmless in its
operation, and although the medicinal taste of its
curative eomponents has been extinguished by
chemical art, their virtues remain as active and
potent as ever.
In Dyspepsia, Bilousness, Constipation, Sick or
Nervous Headache, Piles, Dropsy, and the irregu-
larities to which the feeble subject, the Lo-
zengers will be found Intimately effective than
any of the horrible and disgusting compounds
usually administered in such cases. As an antibi-
lous specific and general aperient, they have no
equal either among advertised preparations or the
prescription of the regular pharmacopeia;
va 1t is Guaranteed that no one who has once
tried Dr. ERASMUS WNsLow's Liver and Stom-
rch LOZenge will ever again take q purgative
powder, or draught or pill. ANIL

two before his death Artemus Ward visited
the Mormons at Salt Lake city. On his
return be wrotea book giving an account
of what he saw and heard in which among
other things he tells of the narrow escape
he made from being narrated to seventeen
young widows, as follows.
regret to say that efforts were made to
make Mormon,ef me while | was in Utah.
II was leap year when 1 was there, and
seventeen widows, the wives of a deceased
Mormon offered me their heart and hands.
l called on them one day, and taking their
soft white hands in mine, which made Is
hands altogether, l found them in tears.
And i said, Why is this thus I. What
is the reason of this thusness?'
They hove sigh, seventeen sighs Of
different size. They said:
sOh ! soon thou wilt be gonsted away.
/ told them when ! got ready to leave
a place | wentest 4.
They said, Doth not like us
/ said, 1 doth, 1 doth
1 also said, Il hope your intentions are
honorable, as | am a lone child, my parents
being far far away
Then they said, wilt not marry US p
l saids sOh! no! 1t cannot was
Again they asked me to marry them, and
again I decl. ned, wien they cried:
'Oh cruel man! this is too much, Oh,
too much ?
/ told them it was on account of the
muchness that | declined.

ALAw BUSINESS Between
1855 and 1860 one of the leading branah-
es of legal business in this city was the
foreclosure of mortgages. Next after the
attachment business of that period, the
foreclosure line paid as we'll as any other
single speciality. From 1860 to 1869
foreclosures were almost unknown. Real
property steadily appreciated in value and
whenever mortgage debt fell due, the
debtor found no difficulty in either renew
ing it, or borrowing elsewhere the money
to take it up with. An enormous amount
OF money-upwards of s30,000,000-is
now owed in this city on mortgages some
debtors begin to be delinquent with their
payments, and few creditors have exhaus-
ted their patience in waiting. We have
heard the first notes of foreclosure raid
A few suits have been commenced during
the past week or ten days. We have a
single suggestion to make. To offer a
debtors property for sale at present will
result in sheer spoliation. Everyone
knows that real property with us at present
cannot be sold. 1t is no mere question of
price that stands in the way A great deal
OF property could not be sold at any price.
As means of collecting the debt, therefore,
q SUIT In foreclosure, appears to be merely
useless proceeding.-[S F. Times.

LYING SAM."-We know man who
can tell good yarn. He goes by the name
OF Old Lying Sam. Morrill," He saws
when ne was ayoung man he used to carry
up on the buildings two thousand shingles
lone thousand under each arm. He GOT
up once three stories high with two thou
sand under his arms, and the staging broke
and let him down. As he was going bv
the second staging he caught hold of a
board with his teeth and hung there with
ms shingles till man went two miles and
got ladder and helped him down. He
says again, he and his brother went to a
turk,ey-shooting. They could not get rife,
80 they took an iron bar and bored If ont
and one would hold it while the other
touched it of, and they killed twenty tur-
Keys In shooting nineteen times. The way
tney got the odd one was this: the last
nme they fred the ball hit bone in tbe
turkey and glanced of to another stand and
KILLED that one. He thought that was do
ing very well, considering they had to shoot
hundred rods. -'NN y s''0o'
