Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Conslmption.

COuRn, bronCnutiSj fbplaaj
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races oil
men it has risen higher and higher in their estlma'
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat have made 1t known rs re-
liable protector against them. WINE adapted 10
u,der forms of disease and to young children, 1t Is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
Verous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed us all
arc sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
.hould be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought In
;urabe still great numbers Of cases where the dis
Ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by tho
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When Moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved ana oiten Whouy
cured by it.
bronchitis Is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until tho
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
| lungs, take the same course.
For Fhooping Cough, give small doses three
| or four times day.
| For Group, give large and frequent doses until
| the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect them in case Of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
| spares the patient great amount of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents, keep itn your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved by it.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that the best qualtiest evel
possessed are strictly maintained.

through them is carried into the blood. Then
as soon as the blood will carry it, it reaches all
parts of the system, decomposng the impure
matter in the blood, and expelling it through
pores. The results from this mode of treat
ment are immediate. Patients do not have to
experiment. with it for months to learn wheth-

experienced upon the first trial, and but few
applications are necessary to effect a cure in

Undoubtedly you remember the ravine

this side of Mount Cenis on the railway
from Paris to Turin. ] ha d reached this
one morning on my way to Italy, and l
found owing to some accidental delay, no
diligence would start to cross the noun
tain till evening. Consequently, having
several hours at my disposal, l devoted
them to an exploration in the valley, and
finally attempted to climb up the steep face
of the northern side of the ravine. Now, l
had never been good climber, even in my
boyhood and, as was at this time more
than-well, was in the prime ofmanhood,
at all events-I ought to have known better
than to have made the attempt. However,
| did not know better, and so laborionsly
climbed up the precipce, until found my
self on a narrow ledge where further prog
ress upward became impossible. To my
great annoyance found, too, that | could
not retrace my steps, since any attempt to
look down in the valley; which lay two
hundred feet below, made me excessively
giddy. At this distance of time | am will

as l thought on the probability Of my re-
naming a hopeless prisoner starving to
death in full sight of the hotel-which had
an excellent table de hOte,-and Of the rail
way station. Hope, which we are led to
believe springs eternal in the human breast,
fortunately inspired me with the happy
thonght of firing my revolver as signal of
distress. No sooner had I acted upon this
idea than the entire population of st. Jean
appeared to become simultaneously aware
of my situation, and flocked to the foot OF
the precipice to watch my anxiously ex-
pected fall. Owing either to their natural
stupidity, or to their reluctance, to spoil a
prospective tragedy, these people did moi
make the slightest effort to rescne me,
Finally, after they had waited two hours in
the vain hope that I would loose my foot

Bees.

We were much interested, while in
the town of Wyoming, with Mr.. j. Carriers
method of raising bees. 1t is undoubted-
ly the best method known, and entirely
new in this part Of the world. Mr.. G. has
kept bees many years, and thoroughly un-
derstands the little honey makers. He
has procured the right to manufacturing
the National Bee Hive in Iowa and Dane
counties; hive that will supersede all
others now in use. By means of this hive
complete control of the bees and their
workings are obtained /; and, instead of
taking so lbs. of honey from the hive du-
ring the season, as in the case by using
the old hives. 800 to $50 lbs. can be taken
from each colony with perfect ease.
I'm the first place, the hives must be
built of seasoned lumber and with great
care, as they are entirely different in al
most all respects, from any hive now in
use. They are Il inches high, 13x11 inch
es inside, thus furnishing 1000 cubic inch
es, which is sufficient room for large col
ony to work, and for their winter store of
food. In each hive are eight frames, and
each frame in three pieces, provided with
a comb guide on the upper edge of each
piece. As the bees always work at the top
Of the hive, the uppermost section Of these
frames become filled with honey first
The operator then takes off the upper Sec
ton, places it in machine for taking out
the honey, which is done in second of
time. leaving the comb as perfect as when
the bees first made it. When emptied of
its contents it is replaced in the hive, but
placed in the bottcm, the. centre section
placed on top, and the bottom one in the
center. The bees will then 60 to work
and fill the top section again with honey,
and continue so to do until the end of the
season. The reason given for bees always
working at the top of the hive is in order
that their wax may receive the desired tenn
perature, and their eggs hatch, which re-
quire 70 degrees of heat This heat is
generated from the bee itself.
1t takes 20 lbs. of honey, as gathered
from the field, to produce one pound of
comb, and when that..comb is made it holds
20 lbs. of honey, and when We cut 20 lbs
