Amsng the plants of Guinea, one of
the most curious is the cannon-ball
tree. 1t grows to the height of sixty
feet, and its flowers are remarkable
for beauty and fragrance, and contra
dictory qualities. Its blossoms are of
a delicious crimson, appearing in
large lunches, and exhaling rich
perfume. Tie fruit resembles enor-
nous balls, hence the name.
H"w,,vr, some say that it has been
i,-,j called because of the noise which
the ball makes in bursting. From
the shell domestic utensils are i4rade,
and the contents contains several
kinds of acids, besides sugar and gum,
and furnish the material for making
an excellent drink in sickness. But,
singular as it may appear, this pulp,
when in a perfectly ripe state, is very
filthy, and the odor from it is very
unpleasant.

With entire confidence in its merits, we
would commend this preparation to all who
may be afflicted with any disease of the

MEssRs. j. N. HARRIS 4 Co., Cincinnati,
O.-Gentlemen: heard one of my custom
ers speak in such high terms of Aliens Lung
Bals2m to-day, that thought would write
you the substance of his statement: He says
his mother, who is now sixty years of age,
has suffered with consump tion for several
years, and has been under the care of all of
our best ply sicians, but never received any
permanent benefit; then she reSorted to
most every kind of Cough and Lung Bal
sans that could be procured for her, but all
to no avail. She still grew worse, until she
was confined to her bed and when she was
seized with a paroxysm of coughing she
would lose power of respiration, and they
were compelled to resort to various means
to restore breathing; and while she was
COUGHING SO hard she could not expectorate
anything, and the family and friends had
given up all hope Of her recovery. Her son
noticed the advertisement of Aliens Lung
Balsam in the Christian Advocate, and they
thought they would procure and try IL. They
commenced giving her the BalSam at 5
O'Clock, p, NJ, as directed, q dose every hour
until midnight: then she took another fit
of coughing, and expectorated a mOuthfu
of dark yellow matter, which was some-
thing she had not been able to do for some
time. They continued to give her the Bal
sam until morning, and then she begun to
expectOrate freely, and within two hours
she expectorated three pints of muepous
matter, which gave her immediate relief,
and since that tine she has con tinued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and can

outdoor xercise. Her son bought more OF
the Balsam, to-day, and he recommends 1t
very highly to every one.
Yours respectfully,
A. C.JOHNSON, Druggist.
Was there ever greater proof of merit than
the case this letter refers to-?
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM Is W thout
doubt the best expectorant remedy ever
offered to the afflicted public. 1t con tains
no opium IN any form, and It's use Is harm
less to the most delicate.

To Avoid the Ague.

The first suggestion, of course, is to
leave those districts where this trouble
some complaint prevails. Sometimes,
however, ones residence cannot be
changed. To persons so circumstan-
ced, there are preventions by the use
of which the majority might generally
escape it, as follows
1. Avoid exposing yourselves to the
malarial air after sunset and before
sunrise.
. 2. Occupy rooms at night on the
sunny side of the house and up stairs.
g.. Bnild fire in the house as soon
as the dew begins to fall. The heat of
the fire will do much to kill the mala-
ria. Keep the skin healthy and active
by thorough bath every day on ris-
ing, in warm room, with sufficient
friction to produce healthy reaction.
4. Keep the bowels open by healthy
diet. In nine cases out of ten the
causes of ague would be easily over
come if the depurating organs were
not overtaxed and morbid matters al
lowed to accumulate in the system to
Cypress it.

EFFECT OF X EEPING FLOUR IN BAR
RELs.-As is well known, flour kept
in barrels for a long time often ac-
quires peculiar odOr, supposed to be
derived from the barrel. Professor
Pollock, of ,Silesia, has lately made a
careful examination ofsuch -four, and
has ascertained that this smell actually
indicates an incipient decomposition
prejudicial to bread making, the glu-
ten of the flour having in part become
changed into a soluble body. Thus,
while sound flour preserved III sacks
contained 11.O6 per cent. of gluten and
LA per cent of soluble albuminOus
matter, four other specimens of flour
taken from different barrels were sew
orally composed of S37 per cent. glu-
ten, to IA per cent. soluble albumen;
7.40 per cent. to $50 per cent; 723
per cent. to 4.44 per cent; and 6.54
per cent. to 6.46 per cent. Two sam
Piles with more than 6 per cent. OF So
luble matter had an acid reaction,
while the others were neutral. Pro-
feesor Pollock believes this chemi-
cal change of the flour to be induced
by the fact that the barrel prevents
with the atmospheric
air and the equalization of tempera-
ture. This view is confirmed by the
oft-repeated observation that flour in
sacks keeps fresh for q much longer
time, and that the mustiness in bar
rels always develops first, and exists
in the highest degree in the center,
viz, that portion most remote from
the outer air.
