A RELIABLE PHYsICIAN.-Wc have never
been acquainted with q practitioner who
makes speciality of throat and lung diseases
and kindred complaints, who has been as uni
formly successful as DR.. V. Clarence Price,
whose regular visits at GAINESVILLE we have
chronicled for years. In every case that has
come before him, Dr.. Price has had the hon
esty to give the patient advice to give up If
there was no helpsfo him, and where the
Doctor believed that proper course ottreat-
ment would save life or prolong it, he has ta-
ken hold Of the case with an amount otsper-
severance and skill unsurpassed in medical
practice in the west, and we venture to say
that not one case in hundred fails of bene-
fit when treated by DR.. Price. We know that
he has cured cases that had been abandoned
by regular physicians, time and again. We're
we troubled with lung ditficulties, we should
not hesitate to place ourselves in the hands
OfDr. Price, in preference to any specialist
we know in the west
DIR. Price visits Kecosha, Halliday House,
during Saturday, the Goth Of February.

how TO MAKE CoLD CHrsEL.-Far
mers and gardeners frequently need a good
cold chisel FIR light work, such as cutting
OF nails, rvets, or pieces of hoop iron. A
piece OF bar steel, aid the forging it into
proper shape, will cost from fifty cents to
one dollar. Those persons who want the
use OF cold ch,sel once week or 40. do
not always, have the money to spare for a
tool that they have bat little use for. There
tore, to get cheap chisel that will sub.
serve all the purposes required, make use
OF large. fiat file, that has been worn ont.
Break of one end, go that piece will be
left about eight inches l"hg heat it In
charcoal fire to near redness, and let it cool
gradually, Then the steel will be soft.
NOW grind one end square and true for the
head end, and form the cutting edge by
grinding at the other.
Thrust the cutting end in charcoal FIRE.
III the cook stove, until one inch in length il
red hot. Now cool haitian inch OF the edoe
IN cold water, which will render the edge
quite too hard. Watch the color of the
steel as the different shades appear near
and at the cutting edge, and as soon as
a you see Hight straw color OH the sur.
lace, plunge the cliisel into cold water, By
this M ans you will get a cold chisel cuff
cientl5 hard on the edge to cut iron, and
30 soft and tough in the part above the
edge that it will bend rather than break.
