Among the pcrncious frauds of the period there
is one which especially deserves the apprehension
of all who place proper value on health and life
The swndle referred to consists in the attempts of
irresponsible parties, in different sections of the
United States to force upon the market vile asrin-
gent compounds manufactured out of damaged or
worthless drugs and refuse liquor, as preparations
possessing the rare medicinal virtues of the most
popular and efllcacious of all vegetable TONES and
altera tycs-H ostettcr's Stomach Bitters.
The concoCters of these local btters y are, in
the truest Of the phrase, public enemies. Their
fiery potions inflame the stOmachs stupefy the
brains and shatter the of those who are I'M
wise enough to accept them substitutes for the
famous Vegetable Invigorant that for twenty years
has been known throughout the Western Hem
ispherC n standard article.
The fame of IIostetter's Bitters as a heath-pre-
serving, vitalizng medicine is wide as the world
and the miserable attempts of needy nostrum-mon-
gers to suppant it would be treated with silent con-
tempt We're it not that serious consequences some
times follow the use of the nefarious compounds
in question. Whoever recommends any Of them as
remedies for Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Constipation,
Intermittent Fever rheumatism, or any other com
plant for which Hostetter's Bitters Is known
specific is guilty Of moral, if not legal INSIDE
meanor. At this season. when the sun is releasing
from the earth in the form of unwholesome vapors,
the active principle of disease, course OF Hostel
tiers Btters will be of the utmost service to persons
with feeble constitutions

0iling Harness.

HARNESS should be washed and oiled
once in six months after it is commenced
being used If it is neglected for years
and becomes hard, it is next to impossible
to make it soft and as pliable as harness
should be to wear well and be easy for
the horse. Harness leather is tanned
from oak and hemlock-sometime from
a mixture of both Oak makes the soft
est leather and is more durable and agree
able for harness work, it being from one
to four pounds lighter in a harness of the
same appearance To oil a harness
properly take every strap apart, as far as
practicable, and put it in a tub Of warm
soap suds-if it Soaks through all the bet
ter thoroughly wash, and with stiff
brush, or otherwise, remove all gum and
dirt. If any repairing is needed, now is
the time to do it, The best oil to use is
pure neatsfoot if this cannot be obtained,

called, may be used. | am aware that
other oils or greases are used, but | do

oils named. and used TO be conversant
with their modes of manufacturing
leather.
Upon bench or board placed in a
handy position, lay out the strap to be
oiled straight, and with a common paint
brush apply the oil to the entire surface
and edges of the strap. The appearance
of the harness will be benefited by the
addition of a little lampblack, and the
oiling should he commenced as soon as
the water has dried from the outside of
the leather-at least the leather should
not be more than half dry whom the oil is
applied Now a good freeze of your wet
or partially wet leather will greatly tend
TO soften your oftimes neglected and
stifrened leather, and add greatly TO its
value. The principles are freezing wet
leather softens it, and that the oil goes in
as the water goes out-.just what the cur
rier aims to do in the manufacture of the
leather. When the harness is sufficiently
dry, wipe it of well with cloth, to re-
move the excess of lampblack. buckle up,
and the job is done for six monihs.-Cor.'

and spread preparation of equal parts
of mari, ashes and ground bone along the
burrows; after it has been mixed and in
