Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption,

cough, bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won 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 Of
men it has risen higher and higher in their esma-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gcrous 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 all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
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
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis Is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectordl 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 the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when 1t affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For Whoopin1 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 n 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 do more
than the public that the best qualities ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

THE Absorbent POWERS OF A MELLOW
SoIL.-Experiments have shown that
mellow, loamy soil is capable of absorbing
in twelve hours, water equal to two per
cent of its weight. If any argument were
needed to keep the soil mellow, here is a
most powerful one to induce us. For this
property possessed by mellow soil is one
that in a dry season is able to give it the
power of maturing crop, when hardened
surface would be unable to do so. A sur
face that is impenetrable to the atmos-
phere, of course could not absorb any of
the moisture with which the atmosphere is
charged. But when rendered free from
Jumps by repeated plowings and harrow
ings, each change of temperature causes
circulation of air throughout the mass of
soil, which is free then to absorb all the
moisture coming in contact with it until it
is saturated. So, then, the more the soil is
mellowed by cultivation, the less it is in
juriously affected by drouth, and the bet
is it enabled to mature fair crop in spite
of the absence Of rain.

THE WASTE OF LIQUID MANURE.-Very
few barns or barn-yards are SO arranged
as to save the liquid manure. The loss
resulting from such a want of proper
arrangement is very serious one, more
so than most farmers would imagine. In
the first place, the quantity of liquid mat
ter which might be saved from pair of
horses and half dozen COWS amounts to
10000 pounds yearly. This is equal to
about 10000, which, diluted with an equal
quantity of water, would furnish each
year dressing Of 1000 gallons per acre to
twenty acres of land. Fermenting liquid
manure needs this addition of water for
the purpose of retaining the ammonia
which would otherwise pass Off and be lost
The solid matter contained in the above
quantity of liquid is equal to nearly three
tons, and is worth as much as the best
guano. The money value would therefore
be about $200-an amount that is well
worth saving. Much less than this amount
would make the drains and tank required
to save the manure, so that the outlay
would be more than repaid the first year
Or, if proper absorbents were freely used,
the whole of the liquids might be saved
without any outlay at all.

A Students Joke.

Ebenezer Sweat of Brunswick is n pro-
vsion-dealcr. He has been a 'meat man,
in Brunswick, for the last half century,
and has probably furnished Bowdoin stu
dents tougher meat and harder swearing
than they ever experienced in after life -
Ebcnelcr is considerable of wag, but a
story is told in Brunswick which shows
that at least on one occasion he was out
witted.
A student called into his market one
morning, and seeing large tub full Of eggs
on the floor, eyed it very wisely for some
moments, aud thus accosted Sweat:
81 will wager twenty-five cents that
can jump into that tub and not break an
egg
You can't do it, replied Sweat
I'll stake twenty-five cents, can, re-
sponded the student
well, here's twcnty-Gve,' continued
Sweat, put up your money
The money was accordingly solemnly
put into the hands of third party. and
the student prepared for the difficult en-
counter. In moment he made leap,
aud the next moment he fell crash into the
tub Of eggs and resting his feet on the
bottom-brcaking nearly all the eggs in
the tub.
There exclaimed Sweat in a fury Of de-
light, you've lost; / knew you couldu't
DO it, not thinking in his delight at win
ming Of anything but that.
Well replied the student, as he coolly
turned and went out of the market, there $
your hccoty-fge cents.
1t was long time before Ebenczcr re-
covered from that Joke.
