Scrofulous affections and
ss853Sf7f&- disorders w hch were az.
gTavated by the scrofil-
lous contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
ton of the country that the public scarcely need to
be informed Of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies Of our race. Often, this unseen and unfct
tenant of the organism undermnes the constitution,
and invites the attack of cnfecbling fatal diseases
without exciting suspicion of its presence Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either the
surface or among the vitals In the latter tuber-
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows
its presence by eruptions the skim foul ulcer
atoms on some part of the body. Hence the occa-
sionai use of bottle of this SdrsdrariHa is adj
visabe, even when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following COM
plants generally find immediate relief, and, at
length, cure, by the use Of this S-iRSfP-4RIL-
Ii: St. AnfHony's Fire, Rose or ErysipeIas,

Sore Eyes. Sore Ears and other eruptions or
visible forms of ScroTufOus disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia. Dropsy,
Heart Disease. Fits, Epilepsy, NrurafDia,
and the various Ticcro"s affections of the muscu.
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Tenereal and Mcrcurial Diseases
are cured by it, though long time is required for
subdung these obstinate maladies by any medicine
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. LeucorrhGd or Whites. Uterine
UlcerafiOns, and Female Diseases. are com.
monty soon relieved and ultimately cured by its
purifying and invigorating effect Minute Direc-

MAKING TEA.-Water for making tea
should be used the moment it boils. The
reason is that, if it is boiled for some time,
all the gas that is in it escapes with the
steam, and it will then not make tea of the
best flavor. Clear, pure, soft water is the

HORSES BITs IN COLD WEATHER.-The
Rural World says: Gone of the cruelest
things done to dumb beasts is putting hard
frozen iron bits into horses mouth 1t
is not only painful, but dangerous act
For every time living flesh touches metal
much below the freezing point, the latter
extracts the heat from the former and
freezes it. Thus a horses mouth becomes
frozen by the cold iron several times day
put into it; each time causing these freez-
ings to go deeper to end at last in extern
sive liberation. With such a sore mouth
the poor horse refuses to eat and pines
away, which calls the horse doctor in
They call it bots, CHAMBERS, horse-ail, etc,
and go to examining down poisonous drugs,
in doses; and the next you know of the
poor abused creature he is trotted off to be
food for fish or crows. Many a valuable
horse has been mysterionsly lost in Just that
way. Thinking and humane people avoid
this by warming the bits: but this is much
trouble and sometimes impossible, as in
night-work like staging and physicians
work. Now all this trouble is entirely
avoided, as we have found on large trial,
by getting the harness makers to get leather
bits for winter use, SO made that no metal
substance can touch the flesh.''

THE TOMATO AS FooD.-A good medical
authority ascribes to the tomato the follow
ing very important medical qualities:
1. That the tomato is one of the most
powerful aperients of the liver and other
organs; where calomel is indicated, it is
one of the most effective and least harmful
medical agents known to the profession.
2. That a chemical extract will be Oh
tanned from it that will supercede the use
of calomel in the cure of disease
3. That he has successfully treated
diarrhma with this article alone.
4. That when used as an article of diet.
it is almost sovereign for dyspepsia and
indigestion.
5. That it should be constantly used for
daily food. Either cooked or raw, or in
the form of catsup, it is the most whole
some article in use

MURDER. - On Wednesday evening
last about sunset, Mr.. James Harris,
living in the upper part Of this county,
was shot and killed, while at work in
his field, by Mr.. Frank Barnes, who
has been apprehended and is now in
confinement, Sheriff Vance having left
here for Camden jail on Monday
last about noon. The circumstances
and causes of the murder, as we get
them, are rs follows On the Monday
previous to the killing, Mr.. Harris,
while hunting oxen, passed by Mr.
Barnes field, and remarked to his
brother who was with him, that there
was the poorest prospect for a crop he
had seen, that it ought to be in better
fix, as there were two stout young men
there to work it, or something to that
effect. Barnes happened to be in hear
ing of Harris at the time. Some words
ensued, but Harris passed on. On thC
Wednesday following, as above stated
Barnes deliberately went to the field
where Harris was at work, and sho
him from the fence with a rifle, hitting
him in the mouth. Harris turned t'
run, when Barnes drew revolver anc
fired twice more, one ball passing
through or near his heart, and killing
him almost instantly. We think thi'
is substantially the statement whicl
Barnes himself makes of the affair. -
Barnes has quite youthful appear
ance, but possesses that remarkable
GOODNESS and self-possession which in
dicates great determination and ever
recklessness. If our information il
correct this is certainly a case Of will
full and deliberate murder.

On Saturday, the Sd inst, the shock
Of an earthquake YVES felt at Osceola,
in Mississippi county. On this sub
iect, ihe Osccola Times says.
Such occurrences here arc not at all
uncommon, as considerable scope OF
country on the western frontier of this
county, known as the ''sunk lands,
was once of much greater altitude than
at present. Judging from appearances,
during some convulsion of nature,
miles and miles of the surface Of the
country appear to have been depressed
to at least half of the forest trees grow
inc thereon at the time the disruption
occurred. Water appears to have
covered the sunk region, causing the
forest to die out. In fact, at many
points, permanent lakes Of water now
cover localities where magnificent for
ests once stood. Time has not yet
eflaced the evidence that these lake;
were once woodlands. The still unde
cayed trunks of the trees leaning anc
bent in every direction, with only one
half their length above the surface
without branch, leaf, or bark, mutcly
yet unmistakably testify to the fac
that here the power of an earthquake
was once exerted, and its effects felt
We learn from the earliest inhabitants
of this section that these earthquakes
occurred about 1911, when New Mad
rid, Missouri, was sunk, and, II w
mistake not, ReeIfoot lake, in Tennes
