MAGNETIC OINTMENT
FOR THE CURE OF
INFLAMMAToRY DISEASES.

Esr. TFask was engaged for twenty years in
a course OF experiments upon the medical prop
critics and power of vegetables, separate and
combined. At the age of seventy years he sue
ceeded in presenting to the world, as the result
of his experiments a combination of Vegetable
extracts the power of which in removing dis
cases Is unequaled III the annals of Medicine
His discovery consists in a combina-
ton of these powerful Vegetable Extracts with
Electricity or Magnetism IN the form of an Oint-
mcnt.
Certain. it is. that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps it at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
calls for trial and close investigation of its
properties.
Et never fails, while there remains suf-
fclent life to restore natural and healthy &C
ton to the capillary vessels of the body, and
equalize the circulation of the blood. BY this
means a controlling power is gained over the
most malignant forms of disease, which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy.
such rs the power of this cOmbina.
ton, that it penetrates tc every portion of
the human frame; every bone and muscle, vein,
nerve and ligamcnt is searched out and made
sensible of its purifying and healing influence.
Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-
terna disease
Numerous instances are on record
where this remedy has restored health to pa
tients so near the grave that the most powerful
internal remedies failed to produce any effect.
Such has frequently been the case in Intiamma-
ton of the Bowels.
No patient ever need die with this
disease where the Magnetic Ointment can be OBJ
tanned.
For EFafianHsatory Rheumatism
this Ointment is the most complete remedy ever
prepared. For Dipbtheria or Putrid Sore Throat
it is unrivaled.
Rn ninety-uine cases ont of

cases of Nervous Headache in thirty minutes.
For Nervous Diseases this medicine is
of immense value.

A Committee from the American In

an establishment in New Jersey where
the Alden Fruit Preserving Process is
made use of On a large scale, and made
a very eulogistic report. 1t is proper
to say that on the Committee were men

To sum up, the advantages of the
Alden process of preparing fruit so as

Miss ATKINSON, OF OPELOUSAS, La,
SUCCEEDS IN TANNING AN ALLIGATOR
The ferocity and treachery of the ALI
gator is well known, and that one of
these creatures should be brought I'M
der subsection and rendered s~ubservient
to q beautiful woman seems hardly
credible. Such, however, is the fact;
we'll authenticated information to that
effect having recently reached us from
Louisiana, Miss Atkinson, the daughter
of a wealthy gentleman Of Opelousas,
cOnceiving the idea of having a pet that
would be a curiosity, has succeeded in
so far tanning q monster alligator that
she cOmpels him to open wide his hOrri-
bic jaws, between which she in
serts her head. Our artist has wildly
depicted the scene. the girl with her
head literally Gin the jaws Of DEATH"
while her hOrrOr-stricken companions
are standing looking on, m~omentarily
expecting the death of the daring girl.
We copy the above from the "Sport-
ing Times and Dramatic News" We
kn0w there is no family by the name of
Atkinson living in this town, n0r do we
know of any Miss Atkinson living in
this Parish. The Illustration accom-
-panying this paragraph is gorgeous in
the extreme. We cannot do justice with
Our pen to the picture. The young
lady is represented en- d~iShdJile, sur
rounded by an awe stricken crowd, put
ting her lleadi in the jaws of the Monster,
There is quite an exhibition Of legs arms
andbusts of the three"fcminines' which
compose in part the group. We would
suggest to the Editor of the Sporting
Times the necessity of keeping a SHARP
look out on that Reporter. He has
certainly been indulging too freely, and
we are certain that ere this devils, mon
keys, c~ross-eyed cats, and snakes have
him, completely in their possession
Of course readers are aware thai
the sketches in that paper as well as il
others Of a similar kind are purely i'm.
imaginary without any foundation OF
truth.

The Wear and Tear Of Life.-Tbe care

The Wear and Tear of Life.-The cares,
anxieties and misfOrtunes of life have as much
to do with shortening it as disease, They are in
fact the source of man physical disabilities.
Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, affections ofRtbc
liver, disturbances of the bowels. headache, hy-
pochondria and monomania are among these dis
tressing fruits. 1t is, therefore, of great impOr-
lance that persons whose minds are oppressed
with heavy business responsibilities, or harrassed
with family troubles, or excited by speculation,
or perpleXed by a multiplicity of enterprises, or
in any way oyertaxed OF. overworked, should
keep up their stamina by the daily use of a
wholesome tonic. Thousands of persons thus
eircumstanced arc enabled to bear up against
the difficulties in which they are involved, and
to retain their strength, health and mental clear
ness, by the regular use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Diseases which are prone to attack the
body when debilitated and broken down by
Over-mHch brain work or exhausting physical
labor, are kepta at bay by the resistant power
with which this Incompatible tonic endows the
nervous system and the vital organs. At this
season, when the heat is evaporating the ele-
ments of strength from every pore, an invigOr-
ant is absolutely essential to the safety and COM
fort of the public, and is required even by the
more robust if they desire TO keep their athletic
capabilities in statu quo. Hence a course of
Hostetter's Bitters is particularly useful at this
period Of the year as a defence against the in
visible disease afoat in a sultry atmosphere. 1t
is the most potent of all preventive medicines
and for all complaints which affect the stomach
the liver and the bowels, and interfere with the
perfect digestion and assimilation of food, it is
the standard remedy. .
