A FEARFUL PLAGUE new plague
has come. 1t may not be so virulent or
fatal as the small pox, but it is far more
geueral-it is the tin-pox squejunk. The
boys all have it. 1t was imported here from
Jersey City. The first signs of it are tin
box and piece of string. A hole is bored
in the bottom of the box, the string put
through it, and knot tied at one end to
prevent it going through complete. The
string is rosined, and then the trouble com
mences. There is no necessity for explana
ton. Every body knows ell about it. OF
all the horrible toys ever invented to annoy
grown people this is the worst

Is the great remedy that physicians appeal to
and use almost entirely IN all diseases of the
Liver. There are thousands ct the present time
that are suffering with the rheumatic pins In
the joints, caused By the use of Cslomel which
has created disease of its own worse than that
which it was intended TO cure. There 10 no
drug that leaves its mark more prominent in
the system. Yet, perhaps, there are times when
1t can be given, and have a BENEFICIAL effect, but
should not be dealt out as il has been, and 10 at
the present time, by those that pretend to know
what they are doing, but in reality do nos. The
Liver il more liable to disease than any other
organ in the human system, and when that fails
to do its duty 1t leaves the weak points of the
body exposed, as the bile is not thrown off, but
taken up by the blood. as it passes through this
great filter of the system, and becomes impure.
Then follows g train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There are many that suffer from pain
in the side and across the body, dull, heavy
droWsy feeling, headache, pain in the right side,
often severe pain in the bowels, cOstiveIsss, fat
uence diarI hea, more or less ind igestion, loss oil
appetite, ssllow skin, white of the eyes yellow,
sinking of flesh, depression of spirits at other
times a great craving for food. Some of these
symptoms are caused only by torpidity of the
Liver. It's impossibleto give all the symptoms
of deranged Liver, and they are all cureable
without tie aid of Calomel.
