Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus Of disease can Dc Saiei!
counteraced by doses Of poison, is false and DANCE
rous Within the last twenty-five years, not less
than score of virulent posons have been added TO
the repository of the medical profession. They are
given In small doses, otherwise they would destroy

they produce, ultimately, very disastrous Ell, cts.
/. unwise and unphilosophical to employ, as remedies
powerful and insldlous drugs, which, in subjugang
one disease, sow the seeds Of another stll more ur-
manageable. None Of these terrible medicaments

Rolling About in Lordly Style.

Have you noticed the several new and
splendid Vehicles that so often roll, in
such lordly style, through our streets?
Mr.. GLovER's magnificent Phaeton, for
instance; or DR.. HILLS graceful and
supple covered Buggy; or Mr.. MAR
KERT's new Buggy, which we have not
yet seen, but which is said to be miracle
of beauty. Well, we certainly have ncth-
ing to do with this matter, except to Won
der where all these glistening Vehicles
were bought. We suppose, however,
from JEssUP's in Augusta, for i'll another
column JEssUP announces "Great Re.
cuction in Prices at JEssUP's Carriage
Repository" In fact, JEssUP's whole adj
vertisement is richly worth the attention
Of our people generally. Not that JEssUP
is any stranger in Edgefeld. AS one OF
the famous fir4r of SHERMAN, JEssUP d
co. he has long been literally patronized
by this section, but now, as JEssUP alone,
he offers unusual inducements. And
JEssUP does not sell Carriages, Buggies
and Wagons only, but also anything and
everything that was ever made, or ever
can be made, out of Leather.

Hiuts for BUSINESS Men.

To those of our business men, who are
complaining of the dull times, we COM
mend the following business hints,-the
words of few of those who have amassed
fortunes by energy, enterprise, and a
judicious use of Printers Ink:
Without advertising I should be a
poor man to-day."-H. T. HELMBoLD.
"My success is owing to my liberality
in observation-disclosures.
Advertising has furnished me with
a competence. AMOS LAWRENCE.
"Iadvertised my productions and made
money."-NIcHoLAs LoNawoRTH.
Constant and persistent advertising
is sure prelude to wealth. h."-STEPHEN
GIRARD.
"He who invests one dollar in business
should invest one dollar in advertising.
"A. T. STEWART:
P. T. BARNUM, the noted exhibitor,
asoribes his success in accumulating a
million of dollars in ten years to the un-
limited use of printers ink.
"a man who is liberal in advertising
is liberal in trade, and such a man sue
ceeds while his neighbor, with just as
good goods, fails and drops out of mar
ket."-HoRAoE GREELEY.

Local Items..yery Few.

Times are. in.every respect, dull beyond
precedent. Money has at last disappear
ed entirely from the face or the pocket
of the world. Neither death, nor victory,
nor the galvanic battery, could scare ups
cent. No one buys, and no one sells.
People have even ceased almost to marry,
or be given in marriage.
Some of our merchants are stretching
fine awnings in front of their doors.
They are right. Since sitting in quietude
seemsfo be the prospect for the summer,
by all means let it be done with as much
comfort as possible.
Edgefeld has a new Market House,
the old political platform in the Park.
Some times it has been Democratic
platform, then Reform, then Radical
Now it is only platform upon which to
exhibit raw beef. Alas, how things, as
well as people, come down to baser pur-
poses!
This is Tuesday afternoon, and several
of our citizens arc starting to the Rail-
road. some to the Floral Fair in Angus
ia, others to the big Cock Fight in Co
lumbia.
On Friday next, occurs the Sunday
School picnic. 1t is to be held at the
Rev. ]. w. Barr's Spring, four miles
out, and the pupils are to go thither in
wagons. A pleasant variety thus-from
the tedious celebrations of several years
past. The young girls are to wear calico
dresses and sundowns, while the young
men are not to don their Sunday clothes.
Young girls always look beautiful in
fresh calicoes and sundowns, but as for
the boys, do pray let them put on their
Sunday clothes as often as possible.
Not another item can We scare up
We have poked our body five yards out
of our front window, and gazed even

A most excellent number, full ofplain,

numerous suggestions it contains, are
prepared by practical, intelligent work
ing men, who know what they talk and

Care of Chicks.

Feed the first week with hard boil
cd egg, oat meal and dried bread
crumbs, rubbed well together with
out water. After this, boil sleeps
liver until it mashes crumbly. A
brood may have about half an ounce
of it daily for two weeks; then the
quantity can be increased to an
ounce. Finely chopped cabbage,
lettuce or other green food is neccs-
sary to keep their bowels regular.
Indian meal is not to be given under
any circumstances, unless it is scald-
ed, and so prepared that it will
crumble when it is thrown on the
ground; it is better to mix it with
oat or barley meal to give variety.
Wheat is one of the best kinds of
grain, for them, but soft food should
be the main reliance. Bread soaked
in water is to be avoided as it is
said to impair the constitution.
Curd may be given daily with ben
eft. and it is much relished. Avoid
4 board. stone, or brick floor, unless
it be well covered with hay, straw,
earth, or preferable, builders sand,
deformed feet may be the
result. 1t is essential that chicks
of the Asiatic breeds should be
hatched very early in the season,
and fed every two or three hours
daily, for two months, if large size
birds for prize takers at the fall
shows are an object.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1871-04-06
Care of Live Stock.

Care should be taken to keep up
the condition of live stock of every
kind, so as to bring them through
the winter and early spring months
successfully. Horses and working
oxen even require additional care
and increase of food, to strengthen
them for the spring work which is
now at hand. Breeding animals of
every kind should be kindly and
generously treated and kept sepa-
rate from other stock. When brood
mares are under-fed and over-worked
the result of such treatment will be
seen in their progeny. If strong
healthy, thrifty young stock of any
kind are required, their dams must
be properly cared for, and well fed
during CESSATION. The most sue
cessful breeders of stock take cx-
traordinary care ofbreeding animals,
and keep none but such as are best
adapted for this purpose. Breeding
ewes and young lambs require great
care at this season. When suffering
from costiveness occasioned by dry,
heating food, sows sometimes de-
YOUR their own offspring; this evil
may be prevented by soft, cooling
food. Provender of every kind
should be prepared in the most eco
nomical way, so that twill be effect
i've without waste. Hay, straw and
corn-stalks, should be chopped and
steamed, roots sliced or pulped, and
corn, oats, and barley, crushed or
ground. Cooked food is very yalu
able in some instances.

Plant Young Trees.

R. W. Furnace says in the Ne
braska advertiser; "We not only
advise but urge the planting of young
small trees, especially if they are
brought from a distance, We know
that most persons have an idea that
that the older and larger a fruit
tree is the sooner they will get fruit.
This is a.great error, and can only
possibly be true when trees are very
carefully taken up, and put into the
ground immediately
As 4 rule, however, when trees
are sent to any distance, a one-year-
old apple tree is preferable to three
year-old one. They cost less(ten
cents instead of thirty, less for
transportation, less work to handle
them, less work to plont, are surer
to live, have better and more roots
according to their size, are more
easily adapted to a new soil,t tops
are more easily trained, and in six
years they are ahead of your three
year old trees in all respects. In
our opinion, you will get q bearing
orchard sooner with one-year-old
trees than with three-year or older
trees"

THE USE OF ALCOHOL.
Its Effects Upon the System.


Alcohol forms no part of the living
body, and when taken into the stom-
ach is rapidly absorbed, or rather
permeates the membranes and the
coats of the blood vessles, and finds
it's way into the blood, with which it
forms no homogeneous mixture, but,
alien-like, is hurried along in the cir
culation, to be eliminated, in great
part, as speedily as possible, that
which is retained producing very
equivocal effects, and in many in
stances painful and fatal Diseases
1t escapes by way of the lungs, as
is shown in the breath of those who
have been drinking ardent spirits or
strong wines, and also by the skin
and kidneys. That portion of the
alcohol which is retained in the body
accumulates most readily in the brain
and liver, and it has been found in
its pure state after death in these Or
gans, especially in the brain. The
first manifest effects of an alcoholic
liquor are on the brain and nervous
system generally, on which it acts
in a small dose as an eXcitant, and
in a larger one as a narcotic. 9th
er parts are affected in a correspon-
ding manner, being at first stimula-
ted, not strengthened, and afterward
retarded and weakened in their ac-
ton. s.
For example, the heart, that Won
derful and, during life, never-ceasing
pump,when its inner surfaceis reach
ed by the tide of blood containing
alcohol, works away so much the fas-
ter to get rid of the intruder; in so
doing its machinery is needlessly
strained, and if this be continued
from day to day is more apt to be de-
ranged and soon worn out. Under
the operation of the prolonged use
of alcoholic liquors the heart often
becomes hypertrophied or morbidly
thickened, and at other times dilated
and thinner in its substance; or a
still worse condition superyenes-
its muscular texture is converted to
fatty matter, and it fails to contract
with the requisite force and regular
ity, and is liable at any moment to
cease beating. In this sudden ces-
sation of the hearts action is found
an explanation of some of the sud
den deaths ofwhich we read. These
destructive effects of the use OF alec
holic liquors are not by any means
confined to drunkards; they are seen
in persons who have never been in
toxicated during their lives, but
who have been regular drinkers of
these liquors. The liveris diseased
in similar manner from the like
