Fat People.

Not long ago;;a gentleman of
three-score, who had scarcely
ever been sick in his life,
thought he was too fieshy, and
began to Bantamize. He sue
ceeded famously and boosted
to his friends that he had got
rid of ten pounds in a few
weeks. A little later he was
attacked with painful and dan
gerous maledy, from which he
has been suffering more than a
year.
If a man can sleep soundly,
has a good appetite, with no I'M
pleasant reminders after meals,
the bodily habits being regular
every day, he had better let
himself alone whether he is as
big as a hogshead or as thin and
dry as a fence rail.
Several cases of Bright's dis
ease have been reported by med
ical men of reputation as di-
rect result of practising Bant-
ANS plan for getting lean.-
The very best and safest way to
get rid of fat is to work it off
this may be aided by eating food
which contains a large amount
Of nitrogen and small amount
Of carbon. heterogeneous food
is that which gives strength and
power to work, as lean meats
carbonaceous foods are those
which make fat, such as cheese,
potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans.
tapioca, arrow root, corn starch,
milk, sugar, syrup, and all oily
and fat food. Raw fruits and
berries largely eaten are great
aids to reducing weight. But
after all, the great reliance
should be on exercise and work
In the open air. Barclay, the
great English pedestrian, who
performed greater feats than
Weston, lost ten pounds in two
or three days walking, and was
never the worst for it.-HdTt

To CURE RHEUNATisx.-A cor.
respondent tells Mo9re's Rural
Ne,o Yorker a curious but simple
way for curing rheumatism is in
vogue in his section. 1t is to car.
ny in your pocket or wear near the
body, some raw potatoes Try it ;
it has cured me. In the West
many subject to rheumatism carry
potato in their pockets. 1t is
Gerry soft at first, but soon becomes
hard as a hickory nut. We know
of thousands oe cases taus cured.
A horse chestnut thus carried is
said to produce the same results.

REMEDY FOR THE EAR-ACHE.-
There is scarcely any ache to
which children are subject, SO bad
to bear, and so difficult to cure, as
ear ache, But there is a remedy
never known to fail. Take a bit
of cotton batting, put upon it a
pinch of black pepper, gather it up
and tie it, dip in sweet oil, and in
sert it in the ear. Put flannel
ba,dage over the head to keep it
warm. 1t will give immediate re-
lief.

TVS WASHING MACHINE,
LATELY MUCH IMPRovED-AED THE NEW
Universal Clothes Wringe

Improved with RoweU'S Patent Double
COg-aCheelS and the Patent Stop, are now
unquestionably far Superior to any appa-
ratus Cor washing clothes ever invented
and viii save their cost twice a year, by
saving labor and clothes.
The Editor Of this paper, who purchased
Washer and Wringer, thus testities as to
their value:
A FAMILY BLESSING.
We have had in constant weekly use in
our family, for about two months, a Doty's
Washing Machine, and the Universal
Clothes Wringer, and after trial, often re-
peated, we can say as resu t of our obser-
walton and experience, that the statements
made in the advertisement on our fourth
page, are literally true. The Machine a
bolishes all the hard lcOrk of washing; the
clothes of whatever kind or texture, are
thoroughly cleaned, and the wear is not
near so much as under the old system OF
washboard washing. The Wringer is also
model of perfection. 1t will wiring gar.
ments drier than can be done by hand
scith no d0nger at all of tearing the clothes
It's made with ROwell's patent double cogs
with the patent stop, (Which is in no Other
Wringer,) to prevent the double cogs from
separating SO far as to lose their power
The general agent, Mr.. Browning, is very
safe in offering to return the Washer and
Wringer, after one months trial, if not
liked. No one, after fairly testing their ca
pacities, will be willing to do without them
PRICES-A Fair Offer.
If the Merchants in your place will not
furnish or send for the Machine, send us
the retail price, Washer $50, Extra Wringer
$40, and we will forward either or both
machines, free of freight, to places where
no one is selling and so sure are we they
will be liked, that we agree to refund the
money if any one wishes to return the ma
chimes free of freight, after months trial,
according to directions.
No husband, father or brother should
permit the drudgery of washing with the
hands, fifty-two days in the year, when it can
be done better, more expeditiously, with
less labor, and no injury to the garments, by
a Doty Clothes Washer, and Universal
Wringer. n
Sold by dealers generally, towhom liber-
al discounts are made.

A CuRE For TIE ToornAcHE..

A CURE FOR THE TooTHAcHE-
Toothache, according to the Lon
don Lancet, can be cured by the
following preparation Of carbol
ic acid: To one drachm Of
collodium add two drachms Of Bal.
vert's carbonic acid. A gelatinous
mass is precipitated, a small por-
ton of which. inserted in the cav
ityof an aching tooth invariably
gives immediate relief.

Let your children alone when they

The common vice Of our people in the
United States, in both town and country
in the city and village, among old and
young, rich and poor, is rapid eating
when the stomach, ike dark bottle
which is attempted to lie filled with
tunnel, gets full, and ovcrruns before one
knows it. There are two i'll effects from
hasty feeding; the food expands consider
ably, both by increased warmth and by
its being divided and liquefed, 50 that if
the stomach is not full when one ceases to
cat, it will be full enough in a very few
minutes by the heating and liqucfying
process; thus it happens when a person
is called from the table, he may feel as
if he could very easily eaten more, but
if detained very few minutes, he comes
back, feeling that he does not want to
taste another particle, and ofttimos ex
presses himself impatiently about his
dinner being "spoiled when the truth is,
hi, food has been enlarged in bulk BY
the necessary preparation which it has
undergone, thus making the stomach full
enough for all healthful purpose, and full
enough for comfort. If meal is eaten
with great deliberation, this expanding,
heating, liqueiying process begins and
keeps pace with the meal, and the msn
does not feel like gorged anaconda. -
The English people thus cat, as q nation;
they give themselves time to enjoy their
food to experience the pleasure of its
taste, and make eating qualification
