Nervous Affections.

TIME shapes Of the clouds and the trees do
not differ more widely than the forms Of
nervous diseases. Sometimes both the mind
and body are affected, sometimes the body
only, and often the complaint is confined 10 n
single member. In one class of cases the mo-
tive nerves alone are disordered, Ms in St.
Vitus' Dance in another class the nerves of
sensation only are attacked, as in neuralgia,
tic dOuloureaux, toOthache, earache, etc.
Pain is, in fact, the immediate consequence of
II disturbed condition of the nervous system
for only through the delicate fbres Of which it
is composed can pain be experienced. Tremors
hystcria and most Of the unpleasant feelings
usually included under the head of nervous
ness, arise from the weakness Of those sensitive
threads which pervade every part Of tho ami
nal structure, and have their source in the
fountain head ofall sensation-the brain.
The tonic action Of lIostetter's Bitters is OF
vast service in a care Of this kind, Nervous
headaches, ordinary faceache, neuralgia pain,
and every variety of spasmodic torture are
quickly alleviated by the use of the prepara-
ton whc at once braces and tranquilizes the
nerves. Persons of Emphatic temperament
and feeble organization, are especially subject
to these complaints, and should take the Bit
tiers daily rs an invigOrant.
Ladies will derive great benefit from them
in all the peculiar mental and physical dis
turbances to which, as sex, they are subject.
Asafntida, valerain and other nervincs, usu-
ally prescribed for these affections, at best
but merely alleviate them for. the time being,
but the Bitters are n permanent iDvigOrant
and their value as remedy for every phrase
Of nervousness 10 beyond all estimate.

Constitutional weakness.

1t i, great thing to have sound and Wig
orOus constitution. There is nothing that
money can buy, comparable in value to this
best gift of nature. The difference between
the individual who has it, and the unfortunate
who has it not, is just the difference between
the man who goes into battle clothed in defen-
sivc armor, and One'whO has nothing to oppose
to the sword and bullet but his naked breast.
" Pestilcnce that walketh in darkness, the
sick ness that destroyeth at MONDAY" while it
lays low the man of feeble stamina, is often
conquered by the native strength Of what is
called an iron constitution"
Heaven, however, has not endowed even a
mOiety Of mankind with this inestimable bless
ing, and therefore it behoOves those who have
it not to resort to those most efficient means OF
constitutional inauguration which science can
supply. There is good warrant for asserting
that lIostcttcr's Bitters are admirably adapted
to promote this end. Other tOnics have their
draw backs. The concentrated extract Of poi
sonous vegetable substances, which within tue
last few years have been introduced into the
practice Of medicine as invigorants, arc nil cx-
,remcly dangerous. Prussic acid and strych-
nine, though often given MS strengthening med
icincs, are not sgfe even in the diminutive dos.
es; and Iuininc disastrOusly effects tho nerves
md bones. But in Iiostettcr's Bitters there is
positively nothing that is not healthful and
wholesome. They contain no ingredient which
by any process could be converted into An at
tive poison, and yet rs n constitutional stimu-
lent are Infinitely preferable to any Of the
sulphntcs and Ncetates which have been re-
Gently added to the materia mediea.

We came across a farmer the other day who
was sowing sir quarts Of mixed Herds grass
and clover seed to the acre. We could not help
thinking that satisfactory explanation was fur
nished thereby Of tbeflct that his team has been
running about all the spring in search Of a lit
tie hay, here and there, to help through his
stock, albeit the stock was less than half what
the farm should carry with decent treatment
We are told that there are forty-sx acres Of
that farm under TIE plough this year, and only
seven acres has received any manurill applica-
ton whatever.
We have heretofore given much space TO the
discussion Of this subject but it is one that re-
quires line upon line, precept upon preccpt, TO
properly awaken the public to a sense Of lis i'm
portance Too little seed Is scarcely greater
evil than too few kinds We in Vermont rarely

Secretary Flint, Of the Massachusetts, Board of
Agriculture, several years ago made very extern
sive inquiry among the best farmers Of New
England, by circular and otherwise. and thus
sums up hls conclusions
50 The practice with many in New England
has already been alluded to as consisting usually
Of one bushel, or twelve pounds Of rel top. a
half bushe or twenty-five pound, Of Timothy.
and from four to six pounds Of clover The
practice Of good farmers varies but little from
this mixture"
The necessity for sowing variety Of grasses
has been so fully discussed that at the present
time among the more enlightened Nla,saehusett.
farmers that practice prevails much more ex-
'ensigcly than at the time when Mr.. Flint wrote.
As the country grows Old and the store Of seed
ochod up ia the soil becomes exhausted the Me-
es-'ty for more seed and in greater variety in
reises. In England, Scotland. and in Euro
'ean countries generally, the practice prevails.
