TIE CANADIAN HORSE ErIDEMIC,-The
Montreal Gazette Of the 18th affords the
annexed information in regard to the ma
ture OF the disease which is seriously in.
terruptlng the business of Canada:
The horse disease, or to speak more
scientifically, the horse epidemic, since its
first appearance in the city, on Friday or
Saturday Of last week, has spread with
such rapidity as 10 be now general, and
the proprictors Of the comparatively few
horses so fur unaffected deem themselves
very fortunate indeed The effects OF the
epidemic were Immediately apparent yes.
tcrday in the deserted cab stands and
general Sunday appearance Of the streets.
It's progress since first heard Of in Toronto
10 this city has been astonishlngly rapid,
thus proving the terribly epidemic nature
of the affection. Technically, by veterin.
airy surgeons, it is known as Gpizootic in.
ilucnza, and is oCcasioncd by atmospheric
influence probably having some connec.
ton with the recent thunder storms, which
are so well remembered on account Of
their unusually terrifying nature. The
disease is not necessary fatal one; so far
from It's being so, II properly treated at Its
beginning there will be few deaths. II is
characterized by sore throat, slight swell.
ing OF the glands, loss Of appetite, severe
hacking cough, with u discharge Of
brownSh yellow matter from the nostrils,
quick pulse, quickened respiration, great
leebleness and yellownesS Of the eyes and
mucus membrane, the latter giving
indication OF implication OF the liver. The
respiratory organs, however, are the prin.
cipal parts affected, but the disease being
blood poison, any animal having had
previous disease by which any organ or
system oforgans have become weakened,
will at once show symptoms indicating
arrangement oil these organs, With the
medicine given by advice oil a veterinary
surgeon the following treatment will
hardly fail 10 elect cure or prevent tho
progress OF the disease or tue taking OF it,
The horses quite well or slightly Affected
should not be taken out In wet weather,
and il they have to 10 so, should be
warmly covered. Affected animals should
be kept in II wcll.ventiatcd stable and
fed upon hot sOit food easily digested, such
rs linsecd tea, oatmeal cruel and boiled
oats or barley. The appetite OF invalids
should be tempted by carrots, apples or
other delicacy our sick quadruped friend
Is known 10 have failing for. In all
stables c0rbolic disinlectant should be
Literally used. To know that the disease
need not DO fatal is consolation under
the circumstances that cannot be too much
appreciated.

UndeveIoped Vigor.

The feeble and debilitated usually fancy
they are in a more hopeless condition than
they really are. Tho resources Of nature
are not easily exhausted. Even when
strength and appetite fail, when the eyes
are heavy and luStreless, the complexion
pallid, the nerves tremulous, the body at.
tenuated, and the mind depressed, there
is generally reserve OF latent power be-
hind such palpable evidences OF weakness.
various modes Of treatment are resorted
to byphysicians In the hope of developing
and rendering available this store ofsieep.
ing vitality, but the surest, and indeed the
only thoroughly safe and reliable means Of
awakening the dormant energies Of the
system Is course Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Electricity, shower baths, the
flesh brush, sea bathing, &C., may be we'll
enough In their way, as auxiliaries, but
they do not reach tue source Of the evil.
All physical debility proceeds either from
a arrangement Of the functions of the as
Similating, secretive and vital organs, or
from a sluggish constitution. Ia either
case, and also in cases where both causes
exist, the Bitters will invariable produce
an immediate and salutary change in the
condition Of the patient, and eventually
effect n complete cure. None Of the dan
gerous alkalolds, too often administered
as tonics, can be otherwise than deleter-
ious under such circumstances, and 10
give mercury Is positively criminal. Tie
direct effect OF the great vegetable specific
will be manifested in an improved appe-
tite, moro cheerful frame OF mind, q
gradual return OF strength, an increase Of
flesh, and healthier complexion. Mean.
while, however, the constitution, If inert
and feeble, will have been reused and
renovated by the subtitle elements OF in
vigoration contained in the Bltters.

Withdrawal OF Judge Hole In III,

To he Voters ofRe 2nd Congressional Dis

We deem II but Justice to Judge Hokt
TO say, that he was not an independent
candidate Tor Congress In this District
IRON his own choice; that Of first he re-
fused 10 announce himself, but afterwards
at the urgent solicitation OF his friends
he reluctantly consented to do so with
the distinct understanding, that there was
no other candidate In the field, who sup
ported the platform and nominees oil the
Philadelphia Convention.
With this understanding, after waiting
until the 18th instant, and no other can
didate appearing, In Judge Hoke's alb.
sence from New Greek, his friends pre-.
pared and had published his tickets and
circulars, which were mostly distributed
BY mail before his return. they felt Jus.
tilted In their course;
ist Because no other Republican can
dtdate, favorable to the reelection of
General Grant, had been announced, nor
had they intimation from any quarter
that there would be any.
I'd. because Judge Hoke had as much,
u not more, strength than any other can.
dldate before the Republican Compression.
al Convention which assembled Ut Pied.
mont on the Goth Of July last, and which
adjourned without making any nomina.
ton. r.4#T
Sd. Because we believe he Is as compe.
tont and well qualified and would poll rs
large vote as any other candidate in the
district; and In this portion much larger
vote.
But now, since his announcement, as
several other straight Republicans have
Issued their cards and tickets as indie.
pendent candidates, and as It Is quite loo
late before the election to have any con.
ference or concert Of action with them,
he begs us 10 say he withdraws from the
contest and ask his friends not to throw
their votes away upon him.

SToCKs-Thc stock market has been le-
verish all day, asthe clique in Pacific Mail
and Western Union seem to have bought
more stock than they can carry and there
is pervading fear that there must be a
disaster in these two stocks which may
cause panic in the whole market. The
activity and buoyanCy Of a few days past
has given way to depression and lower
prices, the decline of the day being ] to
3 per cent. Pacific Mail fell from 1899
to 1909; Western Union from S1g to 1871;
Northwest common from 70 TO 74!; Lake
Shore from 92t to 01s; New York Central
from 95s to 95s; Ohios from 4Oi to 40, and

To CLEAN PAINT.-ThcC Coachmakers'
Journal recommends housewives to save
themselves trouble by adopting the fol-
lowing mode: Provide plate with some
of the best whiting to be had, and have
ready some clean warm water and piece
of flannel, which dip into the water and
squeeze nearly dry; then take as much
whiting as will adhere to it; apply it to
the painted surface, when little rub
bing will instantly remove any dirt or
grease; after which wash tie part we'll
with clean water, rubbing it well with q
soft chamois. Paint thus cleaned looks
rs we'll as when first laid on, without any
injury to the most delicate colors. 1t is
far better than using soap, and docs not
require more than half the time and
labor.-Exchange.
