READER, if you have a sick horse do not
dose him with Condition Powders" con-
tanning anthony, which is Just as useless
and injurious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. 1t is more humane 10 knock
horse on the head at once than to kill him
BY inches through the action of antiuouy,
which sccumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by antimoni.l
poisoning. RENE mber, reader. there is no
antimony, nor any other poison in the "Eq.
uine Condition Powders" Their action,
under all circumstances, is physiological
therefore they can be safely used in all forms
of disease whether acute or chronicl with
decided benefit to afflicted animals

All women know that it is beauty, rather than
genius, which ali generations of men have wor
shipped in the sex. Can it be " yudered at, then,
that so much of wOmans time and attention
should be directed to the means of developing
and preserving that beauty Women know, too,
that when men speak OF the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly, but when
they come 30 speak of the charms of q beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro
fOundly, if not, indeed ridicously in earnest 1t
is part OF the natural ssgscity of women to per-
ceive all this, and therefore employ every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, as We may, against tn.
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty, there still stonds the eternal fact, that
the world does rot pr efer the society of an ugly
woman of genius to that of beauty of less IN
/ teliectu8l requirements. The world has ct al
/ lowed no higher mission TO women than to be
beautiful, and it would seem that the ladies OF
| the persent age carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever, for all wo-
men to whom nature has denied talisman c
power OF beauty supply the deficiency by the use
of most beautiful toilet article. known as tn.
"Bloom of Youth, which has been lately intro
duced into this country by GEORGE ". LAIRD, a
delicate beautifer which smooths out all linden
tatiops, burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles,
and disoolorations from the skin, leaving the
| compile ION clear, brilliant, and beautiful the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of
this new American trick of Lady, toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par: in the
admiration of men and the ambition OF women
than all the arts employed since her creation.
Prof. G. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropol-
tan Board of Health, has recently prepared q
chemical analysis of this delightful toilet prep
aration, and reported that the Bloom of Youth
was harmless, containing nothing injurious to
the health. Ladies need have no fear of using
this invaluable toilet acquisition.

ExHUMED.-Some workmen, in digging q
cellar on the farm of Col. Allen, on the
bluff below Davenport, found the bones, as
they supposed, of a very large Indian. Near
the large skeleton were the bones of two
others. No implements of any kind could
be found. The workmen say that there are
several mounds in that vicinity which, ii
opened, would probably disclose the remains
of those who sought the fairer hunting
grounds by lying down to sleep on the bank
of the Father of Waters.
