Editorial notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
OF any article, without being suspected
OF interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying what
we think of new addition to the Mate
ria Medica to which our attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DR..
j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, remedy which is making its way
into more families just now, than all the
other advertised medicines put together.
Its popularity, as far as we can judge, is
not based on empty pretension. There
seems to be no question about the poten-
cy of its tonic and Alternative properties,
while it possesses the great negative re-
commendation of containing neither al
cohol nor mineral poison. That it is a
specific for indigestion, biliousness, con-
stipation, and many complaints of ner-
vous origin, we have reason to know /;
and we are assured on good authority
that as general inv1gorant regulating
and purifying medicine, it has no equal
1t is stated thatits ingredients, obtained
from the wilds of California; are new to
the medical world and its extraordina-
ry effects certainly warrant the 'conclu-
sion that it is compound of agents
hitherto unknown, popularity is any
criterion, there can be no doubt of the
efficiency of the VINEGAR BITTERs, for
the sale of the article is immense and
continually increasing.

While pain is a condition Of humanity, every
effort to amcliolate its intensity, or remove
the piedisposing cause, merits our warmest
gratitude, our careful consideration, and its
success our frank acknowledgment. There
is pecuiiarty about the sensation called pain
which Is of infinite service 1t is premoui-
tion of impending i'll, a declaration of war
against the well being OF the body which can
net be removed white the cause exists. Re-
move the cause and the effect will cease. en-
deavor to cover up the effect and the cause
will be intensified, the anguish temporarily con-
cealed break forth again with redoubled ar
dor. Many remedies merely do this, and after
repeated trials, fail to satisfy the conditions
upon which only can they be useful to human
ity Such medicines have a brief popularity,
and are retired ms unworthy of public approval
There are Others which time tries but to en-
hance their value, 10 endorse and spread
abroad their usefulness, and common human
ity, the public, is perpetual gamer by their
extended popularity and expanded sales. OF
these, perhaps, there are no such two notable
instances as the Davis Pain-Kier and Aliens
Lung Balsam. The Pain-Kiler may be STYLED
the mathematics Of medicine, for it never
makes mistake its modifying influence per-
vades the system, and only one trial is requi-
site to make it treasure forever. 1t does not
merely cover up, Il cures. All the civilized
nations of the earth admit its value, accept
its fame, and benefit by its use. 1t is no flat
tSly W COul pare IL W oONcltlSl DulLl spoken
of in the Holy Writ, for pain flies from its
presence, as night is dssipated by the rising
sun. Externally, internally, and eternally it
proves its value wherever tried. The same
holds good of Aliens Lung Balsa Al, which,
for all complaints of the air-passages of the
lungs, has proved itself what it processes to be
"A positive specific. The western world owes
a debt of gratitude it can never repay to T. Fl.
G. Allen, whose instrumentality was the main
spring of the introduction of these medicines
For years he was the painstaking pioneer Of
the Pain-kiler and other remedies westward,
and the old man and matron, the sturdy pion-
Ger and his courageous helpmeet, now enjoy
ing prosperous old age, will testify to the
aid and comfort they received, years and
years ago, from these medicines, when drug
stores were few, and doctors far apart. Under
Providence they will attribute their green old
age, lusty and kindly, to their acquaintance
with these mixtures, through the admirable
GdcertiSing enterprise of T. II c. Allen
Davenport Democrat.
n. B.-Thos. II. c. Allen is the resident
partner of firm of j. y. Harris IL Co, at Gin
cinnati, and first established the house in lS4S
TO introduce the Pain Killer.

Chicago Since the Fire.

The effect of the fire upon the popula.
ton has been much less than was ex.
pected and much less than it would
probably have been upon the population
of any other city. In June, 1871, ou1
population was 29S,917, according to the
national census. In October, over 100,-
600 Were driven from their homes, and
many thousand of these were deprived
of their ordinary means of employment
Nevertheless, the exodus which contin-
ued for few weeks has been compen-
sated by the return of fugitives and by
the new migration hither, and the close
of the year saw Chicago with popula-
ton hardly reduced from what it was
when the fire took place.
The greatest loss was i'll our manufac-
lures the want of machinery postponed
the resumption of this branch of bust
ness longer than others, but at this time
nearly all branches sofmanufacturei in ope-
ration here before the fire have been re-
sumed most of them on a scale of increased
magnitude, while others formerly un-
known have begun, and find themselves
engaged i'll prosperous and growing
business.
The extent of the grain trade for 1871
shows how little the means of carrying
on this business was impaired by the
fire. Though six elevators, containing
a million and half bushels of grain,
and having a storage capacity of two
millions and half of bushels, were
destroyed, the receipts of grain and their
successful storage have been unprece-
dented. Never in the history of Chica-
so was there such an aggregate of grain
III store as at the present time. The re-
ceipts of grain including -four for the
year 1871, reached the aggregate of 49,
jlS,202 bushels, the highest figures of
any previous year being in 1868, when
they reached 69,6SO,233 bushels. The
increase in live stock over previous
years has also been great. The number
of hogs packed during the season is
l,ll3,963, against S56,560 to same date of
last year. Our receipts and shipments
of lard, meats, seeds, wool, salt, and
lumber, and of nearly all other articles,
were also largely in excess of last year.
The foreign trade of the city has largely
increased. The establishment of di-
rect line of propellers hence to Montreal,
to connect with European steamers, was
eminently successful in 1871, and this
line of business promises great expansion
in 1S12.--ChicdgO Iribune

Disappearance of q Sea.

Bovy st. Vincent states that the time
is coming when the Mediterranean will
be nothing more than chain of lakes,
and then a mighty river. The Sea OF
Azof is already being converted into a
stream-its shores constantly approach
ing nearer together.
Tracts of water which extend from
the mouth OF the Don to the Straits of
the Dardanelles may now be compared
to Lake Superior Huron and Michigan.
When the great Island of Atlantis
went down, at Plato relates, covered
with Cities is must have changed the sea
boundaries exceedingly. Rivers are for
ever in the process of changing their
channels and Swallowing by. the debris
they spread along their bottoms

InsigniIlcance of the Earth.

NJ. Reclus, a celebrated Astronomical
writer, says this earth is the lowest in
rank among heavenly bodies. Were an
astronomer on some other planet explor-
ing the immensity Of space, this planet
we inhabit, owing to its small size
might readily elude his intelligent view
The sun is 100000 times larger and
yet that enormous mass is only a spocl
"a mere point, which seems lost amid
eighteen millions of stars which are dis
coverable by instruments IN the Milky
Way
What an incomprehensibl organ the
human brain, to have ascertained such
astounding facts and demonstrated the
laws which govern universal nature

A UNIVERSAL ARTICLE OF FAITu.-In
thought impossible to indicate an article of
faith upon which all sects and classes were
united There is one, however, and a very
notable one too, viz: belief which is i'm
plicit and universal in the paramount efficacy
of that matchless HOUSEHOLD Tonic AND RE-
cUPERANT, PLANTATION BITTERs. The con-
stant'y increasing patronage which it receives
has, 1t is tue, excited the petty envy OF GER
tain spcnetic advertisers of pinchheck pane
ceas, who hope to make market for their
own stagnant, watery wares, by decryiug all
spirtuous medicinal preparations. But the
public can stomach neither their arguments
nor their potations, and consequently reject

TO Shave Scientifically.

AS men continue to shave and to be
shaved IA practice which some regard as
unnatural and undesirable) we transfer
to our columns the following brief essay
upon shaving, which is from the pen of
80 celebrated an authority as Mr.. Mechi
Never tail to wash your beard with
soap and water, and to rub it dry, i'm
mediately before you apply the lather, of
which the more you use and the thicker
it is, the easier you will shave.
Never use warm water, which makes
tender face. In cold weather place
your closed razor in your pocket or under
your arm to warm it. The moment you
leave your bed Tor BATH is the best time
to shave.
always wipe your razor clean, and
strop it before putting it away; and
always put your shaving. brush away
with the lather on it.
"The razor (being only a very fine
saw should be moved in a sloping or
saving direction, and held nearly fiat to
your face, care being taken to draw the
skin as tight as possible with the left
hand, so as to present an even surface,
and to throw out the beard.
"The practice of pressing on the edge
of a razor in stropping it soon rounds it;
the pressure should be directed to the
back, which should never be raised from
the strop. If you shave from heel to
point of the razor, strop it from point
to heel; but if you begin with the point
in shaving then strop it from heel to
point.
"If you only once put away your
razor without stropping it, or other
wise perfectly cleaning the edge, you
must no longer expect to shave well and
easy, the soap and damp so soon rust the
fine teeth and edge.
"A piece of soft plate-leather should
always be kept with razors, to wipe
them with"
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-03-21

If it comes to question of classical
lore or bread and butter, most people
would choose the latter, unworthy as
the choice may seem but there appears
to be a man in Boone County, KY, whose
soul is above providing for the vulgar
wants of himself and family. He espends
all his time in the study of Greek and
Latin, and other ancient erudition,
while his family lives in want, or is sup
piled with necessaries by their neigh
bors. The man, himself, neglects all
creature comforts for the sake of study.
The gross and unappreciative people of
Kentucky think him crazy.

POTASH FOR POTATOES.-In recent
address, DIR. Nichols, of the Journal Of
Chemistry, alluded to the deterioration
in our potato crop during the past 20
years" and made the following explana-
ton regarding the causes of the falling
off
1 have field of potatoes upon my
farm which l expect will yield 300 bush
els to the acre, which may be regarded
as an old-fashioned crop. 1 know that
this crop will remove from the soil in
tubers and tops at least 400 pounds of
potash. L am also certain it will re-
move $50 pounds of phosphoric acid.
Now these amounts are very large, and
serve to show that the potato plant is a
great consumer of the two substances
and also, it shows that in order to re-
store our potato fields to their former
productive condition, we must supply
phosphate compounds and substances
holding potash in large quantities. For
six or eight generations in New Eng
land, our fathers have been exhausting
the soil, by removing these agents in
their potato and other crops, and we
have reached time when the vegeta-
bles are starving in our fields for want
of their proper food. Our farmers have
found that new land gives the best crops,
and this is due to the fact that such
fields afford the most potash. But so
long as we crop our pastures so unrea-
sonably, we cannot resort to new land,
as land is not new, that has had its
potash and phosphate elements removed
by grazing animals. Remember that
potato field which gives but 100 bushels
to the acre requires at least 100 pounds
of potash, but by allowing the tops to
decay upon the field, 60 pounds of this is
restored to the soil again, as that amount
is contained in them. A medium crop
of potatoes requires twice as much phos-
phoric acid as Il medium crop of wheat,
so that in two years with wheat, the
land is deprived of no more of the
agent than it loses one year with pota-
toes.
