A Cure for Diptheria.

All interested, please read the following ex-
tract from a letter from Mrs. Ellen B. Mason,
wife of Rev. Francis Mason, Tounghoo, Birmah:
My son was taken violently sick with dpthe-
ria, cold chlls, burning fever, and sore throat.
| counted one morning ten little vescles in his
throat, very white, and his tongue, towards the
root, just like watermelon, full of seeds; the
remainder coated as thick as knife-blade. So
many children have died around here, l was
afraid to call physician, and thought would
try your Pain Killer for a gargle, with small
doses inwardly. did so, and found the gargle
invariably cut off the vesicles, and he raised
them up, often covered with blood He was ia
ken on Sunday; on Wednesday his throat was
clear, and his tongue rapidly clearing off. [ al
so used it as liniment with castor oil and harris
horn, for his neck. It seemed to me wonder
full cure, and l can but wish it could be known
to the many poor mothers in our land who are
losing so many children by this dreadful disease.
l have found your Pain Killer one of the most
valuable medicines ever used in Burmah Once
[ was stung by very large black scorpion; the
pain was indescribable. Immediately applied
the Pain Killer, flor 1 never travel without it. }
again and again, and in half an hour my foot
was we'll.
DR.. Walton writes from Coschocton-"Yo our
or Sore Throat-that is so alarmingly prevalent
here; and it has not been known to fail IN any
instance when used in time. This fact you
should make known to the world" (lt is used
in this disease as a gargle and lotion, as well as
tonic and stimulant.)
In Halifax where this disease prevailed for
many months in its most malignant form, the
riably attended with the most favorable results,
when it was used ere the disease had made too
much progress to preclude the use OF SO power

t. the following deductions:
Payments on or before the 10Th of February,
10 per cent; between that date and the 1st of
April, per cent; between that date and the 1st

This will furnish an incentive to pay the town
taxes by St. Valentines day, ten per cent.

We hope that many of our citizens will be en-
abled TO avail themselves of this opportunity to
save that er-centage of their town taxes.

Too Cold To SNow-We frequently hear the
remark: at is too cold to snow.''
This remark is based upon popular falacy
It is never too cold to snow The memorable
snow-storm of January, 1857 in this State, oc-
CURED when the weather was intensely cold
the mercury standing, we believe, near zero.
During the snow storm in the Northern States
on Monday week, the mercury was many de-
grees below zero. It may, and often does, snow
when the mercury is only few degrees below
the freezing point, but it is never too cold tc

HIGHLAND CoUNTY-We learn that there
L as been considerable snow in Highland county
for some time, end that for three weeks past there
has been good sleighing.
We are pleased to learn that the financial con-
d5ion of the good people of that county is quite
good. The high prices at which cattle. have
been selling for several years, have had the eff
feet of making money matters quite easy there.
They may.congratulate themselves on their fnan-
cial condition for, in comparison with others
in many portions of the State, they are truly for
tunate In political aspect, they are equally
fortunate for Radicals there are so scarce as to
be objects of curiosity. Politically as well as
physically, the atmosphere of Highland county
is pure, healthy and invigorating.

MANY EIninent Men

Have candidly asserted their opinion that there
is no remedy equal to MISHLERS HERB
BITTERS for that class of diseases peculiar to
people of sedentary habits. 1t is preparation
of wonderful virtue in all cases of this kind,
never having failed in effecting cure, and it
still continues on its triumphant career. For all
forms of diseases arising from impurity of the
blood, or arrangement of the digestive organs,
including General Debility, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, Sick Headache. Constipation, and
similar ailments, it is certain remedy. Lead
ing Physicians everywhere prescribe it for their
patients, and have given the proprietors of the

the efficacy of the preparation as remedy

Spread the TrutfP.

Spread the Trutip.
Some medical men insist that it is undiguifed
to advertise remedy, however valuable it may
be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like saying that
an article which the world needs should be hid
in a corner-that benefits and blessings may be
too widely difused-that the means of protect
ing and restoring health should be close mo-
nopoy, and not accessible to all. The argument
is bad. Ii is worse than that; it is inhuman.-
Suppose Hostett, RS Stomach Bitters- an abso-
lutte specific for dyspepsia, bliousness and ner-
vous debility had never been known beyond
the repertoire of the faculty, what would haze
been the consequence? Instead Of curirg and
invlgorating millions, the good effects of the
preparation would have been confined to COM
parative few. There is the highest authority for
saying that light should not be hid under BUSH
ell; that whatever is excellent should be placed
as city on hill, where all men can take cog
nizance of it. It is upon this principle that the
Bitters have been advertised and continue to be
advertised in every newspaper of any promi-
nence in the western hemisphere, and that the
spontaneous testimonials in its favor have been
translated into all written languages Thous-
ands enjoy perfect health to-day who would be
pers had not spread the truth aoith regard to this
unequaled imvigogant and corrective farand wide.
Suppose profit has been reaped from this pub
licity. Is that any argument against it? If the
public health has been protected if lives have
been saved II the feeble have been strength
ened and the sick restored, great good has been
accomplished and who so mean as to grudge to
exertions thus directed their fair reward?

"A TITUTION.-At this particular season,
when the weather is as chang cable as the wind
when the most robust constitutions are attacked
and NORTHUMBERLAND when feeble systems are
shattered and unnerved, it is absolutely necessa-
ry that scientific principles should be brought to
the aid of Nature in order to avert the contrac-
ton of those diseases that usually become seated
and fixed from the continuous changes referred
to. OF all the discoveries yet made, none seem
to answer the purpose so we'll as BAKERS BIT
TIERS, for while other remedies have been tried
and failed, this medicine has proved to be the
only panacea for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Gen
eral Debility, Collie, Sour Stomachs, Colds, and
Consumption in its incipient stages. Prepared
solely of vegetable extracts and so admirably
compounded as to act at once upon the Liver,
Digestive organs, Blood and Mind, it drives out
Impurities, increases the Appetite, improves the
Digestion, strengthens the Lungs, and so tones
up the inner man as to render it lmpervious to
ordinary colds. AS family medicine, it has no
equal, and needs only to be tried to recommend
itself
