DR.. Laennec.

This renowned Frenchman did more per-
haps to clear up the mysteries which before
his time had invested the nature of chest di-
seases than any other MUSICIAN who ever lived.
Yet with all his skill in detecting the nature
and form of the malady before him, he was
sadly deficient in his knowledge of remedies.
He drew vivid pictures of coughs, catarrh, and
all the affections of the air passages, still he
left but few words concerning their treatment.
The youngest physician to-day knows better
how to manage any one of the chest troubles:
he knows the value of the wild cherry; he is
acquainted with its supreme virtues; he is
aware of the many potent agents which enter
into the combination of Edtodrd Wilder's
Compound Extract Of Wild Cherry, and knows
that with the use of this truly great medicine
he is fully master of the situation. He has no
fear in the presence of Group, no misgivings at
the advance of bronchitis; he grapples with
consumption, and subdues every cough, cold,
or catarrh. Hence every family should always
have this invaluable medicine at hand.

Indigestion.

(Which makes sleep a pain, and turns its balm to
wormwood,''
is, we all know, the most common of the dis
orders of the stomach. 1t is also the most OBJ
stinate. 1t has been the most written about.
No disease presents such various, contrary,
and Incompatible symptoms. They contradict
all the laws of order, constancy, and inconsis-
tency, which regulate natural events; they
bother the doctor, and can only be read by him
who is skilled in the book of nature. It is self
evident that the different forms of indigestion
are to be met by corresponding methods of
cure. 1t has been said that the perfection of
medical skill is the talent of applying to each
individual case its precise and, as it were, its
individual cure. This is the object which ev-
cry conscientious physician pursues unceas-
ingly, and never can rest satisfied until he has
overtaken. Edaodrd WIEder's Stomach Bitters,
their body being the purest eopper-distilled
whisky, makes this object attainable alike to
all. They are q specifc-the disease specify
ing the remedy, not the remedy the disease.
They are combination of substances which
meet the speciality of the disorder by CORE
spending speciality of cure. They should be
kept in every well regulated family; they are
indispensable to health.

Helminthology.

A distinguished Psychologist has declared
that it seems to be principle of nature that
every situation capable of supporting living
organic bodies should be peopled with them.
The huge whale is often driven to madness by
an almost invisible member of the great tribe
of vermes. The history of Helminthology
abounds in illustrations Of the influence OF
worms in the production of disease aud in the
evaporation of their symptoms, The fire.
quency of worms in the bodies of men, thei-
oDviousness to the senses, together with their
common connection with enfeebled and NOR
bid states Of the animal economy, all tend to
render them an object of interest from the re-
hottest periods. The very ablest minds have
been devoted to the study Of these entozoa with
the view of discovering some substance which
was capable of speedily, safely, and perma-
nently expelling them from me human sys-
tenn. EDWARD WILDER's MOTHERS WORM
SYRUP is true vermicide, a genuine worm
destroyer, bona Jfde vermifuge. Its taste is
delightful, its effects are quick, its results I'M
failing. 1t is free from danger. No intestinal
worm can live in its presence. Mothers! de-
stroy the worms which infest your little ones,
with this delightful syrup.

ACataplasm of Rhubarb,

Laid upon the pit Of the stomach of a child
will cause the bowels to be emptIed; and aloes
kept in contact with raw surface will pro-
duce the same effect as if the medicine had
been taken into the stomach. So said the great
DIR. Clutterback- Very many persons know
the operation OF croton oil when placed upon
the tongue; to say the least, it is speedy. Pur-
gatiyes in some shape are indispensable IN the
practice Of medicine. Many diseases are i'm
durable without them; and all of the simple
disorders Of the system are benefited by their
use. The great desideratum in their admins
tration has been TO get one which was either
laxative or purgative, as was needed-always
mild but always efieient-and the use of which
did not make it necessary to continue its use.
This has at last been done. EDWARD WILD
ER's FAMILY PILLS fulfill all the require
ments of the case. They are q laxative, yet
sure; purgatiye, yet mild. In small doses they
meet the first want; in large doses they fulfill
the latter. But in whatever quantity given
they create no necessity for their use; they
creates ne morbid state of the alimentary tube,
but leave it cleansed and urge it to renewed
health. They are in brief a blessing TO the in
dividual who suffers from constipation and
needs q laxative, and are indispensable to him
who is parched with fever and requires a pur-
gative. Use them, all you who value health.

NEW FIGURING AILL--By reference to an
other column It viii be seen that a new water
mill has just been built on the Neosho two
miles and q half northwest Of town, and is ROW
in running order, grinding wheat and corn in
the best style. The dam has been erected, the
mill building constructed, and the machinery
put in running order in the short time Of ten
months; and we were quite surprised a short
time since on learning for the first time that
any such Improvement was going On 50 near
town. The machinery is all hrst-eIass. The
water wheels were patented and put in by s.
Hicks, OF OrangeyiIle, Indiana. These wheels
are made principally Of boiler iron, making
them light, strong, cheap and durable. The 60
inch wheel runs both pair OF burTs, for corn
and wheat grinding from ten to twelve bushels
Of wheat, and the same Of corn, per hour, un-
der seven feet head. II Is the opinion Of those
using them that they stand among the foremost
for a low head OF water. The burrs for wheat
are four feet in diameter, weigh 5000 pounds,
and were manufactured by G. & W. Todd & Co.,
Of st. Louis, from the best quality Of French
burr blocks, old quarry, and make 200 Ievolu-
tons per minute. The boiling cloth came from
the same establishment, and is Of the best
Dutch brand. The bolt itself is q sumner, be-
ing 211< feet long, and 46 inches in diameter.
The smut-miIl is one Of Wyckon, Barnard &
Co.'s adjustable brater machines, capable Of
cleaning and securing fifty bushels Of wheat
per hour. 1t is fine looking machine, and
stands at the head Of the cheap for good
work. The wheat to be ground Is first passed
over vibrating shaker, which removes stFaws
and dust. It is then elevated and passed
through q rolling screen, from thence IL de-
sends to the vibrating shaker attached to the
smut-mill, and then into the smut-mill itself;
from thence il is taken up stairs where it is
again screened by passing through a machine,
invented by one OF the proprietorF, which he is
pleased to call the DEVILS mush-pot. AS 1t
leaves the mush-pOt It is subject to the action
OF q suction fan. It then descends directly in
to the stones 10 be ground. 1t the aim Of the
proprietors to make -four not inferior to the
best st. Louis brands.
The corn stones are thirty inches in diane
ter, and turn out some Of the incest meal ever
made in this part OF Kansas. The corn Is first
cleaned Of dust, ends Of cobs, other grains, etc.
It Is then secured and cleaned again. After
being ground, 1t is bolted, and comes out ready
for family use. No better corn meal is made
than Is made at this mill.
The miIlwright work was projected and put
through by T. W. Glasgow, Of steam wagon
renewn, and is a model of ingenuity, compact
ness and convenience. Indeed this experience
ed millwright and ingenious mechanic seems
to have arranged and combin.d everything to
the best advantage. In his own language, this
mill Is q real ''little giant" This mill will be
q great accommodation to many, and the ener-
getic proprietors deserve success, as they hope
to earn 1t. See advertisement elsewhere.
