Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such es Coughs, Colds, Whooplng
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
ard Gons11rnntiOu.

Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine. has any thing won SO widely ana SO
deenIv upon the confidence of mankind, as tnis
excellent remedy for pulmonary, Complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
OF the races of men it has risen higher ana higher
in their estimation, as thas become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, nave
made it known as reliable protector against
them, While adapted to milder forms OF disease
and to Young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks Of Group, IT should DC kept ON
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all shotllu DC
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled CONSUMPTION Is thougnt IN.
durable, still great numbers OF cases Where tti..
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to SOUND neai.n
by the Cherry PICTORIAL. So complete Is uS
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs anu
Throat that the most obstinate of them yield TO IT.
When nothing else could reach them, under inc
CLerrv PectoraI they subside and disappear.
Sinners aud Public Speakers find great
protection from it. ,au,,
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. ,,,;,r tho

So generally are its virtues known, thit we
need not publish the certificates of them mere, OF
do more than assure the public that Its quaiilics

ALEXANDRIA INSTITUTE.

"HE FOURTH ANNUAL SESSIUN Of
l. the Alexandria Institute for young
ladies, will commence on the First Mon
day of September next. The large IN
crease of public patronage will enable the
Principal, Mrs. G. A. Garfield, to secure
the services of an able corps of teachers;
and to offer to parents the assurance that
their children can receive at home every
advantage of education which the most
expensive schools of other States or Par
ishes could afford them and also avoid
the dangers and temptations too often at
tendant on prolonged absence from the
protecting and sanctifying influences OF
home. Mrs. Garfield hopes that the pub
lie spirit of The people of Rapides will con-
tinue to support an Institution so essen
tial to the weil-being and prosperity OF the
Parish, and which has been SO long need
ed in our community.

MISTY FOOD FOR HORSES. -One OF
the principal and most frequent dls-
eases among horses and mules, caused
in great majority of cases solely by
the permanent feeding of musty and
dusty food, especially musty hay, as
has been mentioned in a previous let
ter. is the so-ealled "heaves." Anoth-
er disease. not much less frequent,
which reduces the value OF a Soo9
horse Just as much, and Is also caused
in many cases principally by musty
oats, musty corn and musty hay, is so
called "moon- blindness"
In my opinion these two diseases
alone lessen the value of our horses and
mules enough in every year to induce
us to consider whether it would be
more profitable to take more pains IN
the curing, sheltering and protecting OF
the hay, to take proper care OF the
grain, thus avoiding these losses ana
having, moreover, better market,
and receiving higher prices for the sur
plus of the grain and hay; Or to let 1t
90 in the old negligent way, and let
each take care of itself, not to mention
that of damaged food, comparatively
a much larger quantity is required to
keep an animal, as some of it is not
digested, and always great deal Is re-
fused and wasted away. =,
Heaves and moonblindness, notwith-
standing that the same, under ordlha
nv circumstances, never turn fatal, mus
be considered the most important mai
aides caused by musty food, on accoun
of their incurability when once fully
developed, but are by no means Il tn
only ones. There are some other dis
eases and morbid conditions also NOR
frequent than desirable, caused by tn
same agency. So, great many, per
haps the most, causes OF lndlgestlo
may be considered as either primary
secondary results of the same. In
feeding of musty oats, and probably
other musty food, too, though in les
degree, exerts a morbid influence upo
