Germany stiIl involved in gigantic war, she
having then in the field more than 800 900 men.

Periodic Disorders,


The paroxy small maladies which are character
lied by heat and cold prevail extensively at this
season, and is curious fact that in many parts
of the country where they are prevalent, other
diseases, that bear general resemblanceto fever
and ague, or remittent fever, assume 3 periodic
type. Thus, in many sections infested'with chils
and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hystera, diar.
reea, &c. sometimes become intermittent, thereby
indicating that they have been engendered by the
same poisonous exhalations which produce the
first named disease.
In all these masked cases Of dgue-for such they
areas well as in the regular intermittents, the
most safe and reliable remed v that can be admin.
istered is HOstetters Stomach Bitters. Neither
qutnine nor arsenic are neetied both are in the
highest degree dangerous, and are sure to leave
sad traces of their poisonous action in the system,
whether they arrest tie paroxysms or not. In
many instances all the so-caed specifics of the
regular" materia medica utterly fail to "break
up" intermittent amt rcmittent disorders. But the
great vegetable Tonic never fails. The spasm of
the minute blood vessels which causes the chill is
the result or nervous weakness produced by the
phere, and the tone and vgor given to the nervous
system by the Bitters, enable it to throw off the
disease. The wiser policy, however. is to antici-
pate attacks of this nature, by arousng all the la,
tent energies Of the body at the commencement Of
the moist and chilly season, with this incompara-
BILE antidote. By pursuing this course intermit-
tents, remittents, rheumatism, collie, bilousness,
be prevented.

A correspondent of the Canada Farmer be-
lieves that beet sugar may be made profitably
in Canada; that factory there might afford
to pay from $50 to $50 per acre for beets !;
that roots grown there contain as much sugar
as those grown in France or Germany. These
conclusions are based on experiments made
on working scale.

This affords a cheap and innocent recreation
