Has been before the public over THIRTY YEARS, and
probably has wider and better reputation than any
other proprietary medicine of the present day. At
this period there but few unacquaintel with the
merits of the PAIN-KILLER; but, whlli some exto
it liniment, they knew but little of its power In
easing pain when taken internally; while others
| it internally with great success, but equally
ignorant of its healing virtues when applied external
ly We therefore wish to say to ALL that it is equally
| successful, whether used internally CT externally
1t is sufficient evidence Gifts virtues andard med
ieine to know that it is used in all parts of the
world, and that its sale is constantly increasing No
| curative agent has had such wide spread salo or
| given such universal satisfaction.
| DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is purely vegetable com
pound, PREPARED from the best and purest materials
and with that insures the perfect uniform
ity in the medicine; and while it is a most effective
remedy for pain, it is perfectly safe medicine even
In the most unskilful hands.
1t is eminently FAMILY MEDICINES and by being
kept ready for immediate resort, viii save many an
hour of suffering, and many dollar in time and doc
| tors bills
After thirty years trial. 1t is still receiving the
most unqualified testimonials to its virtues from
persons Of the highest chara ter and responsibility
Eminent Physicians commend 1t as o most etfectual
preparation for the extinction Of pain. 1t is not on
ly the best remedy ever known for Bruises. Cuts.
Burns, &C., but for Dysentery, or Cholera, any
sort of bowel complaint, it is remedy unsurpassed
for efficiency, and rapidity of action. In the great
cities of India, and other hot climates it has become
the standard medicine for all such complaints, as
well as for Dyspepsia, Liver complaints, and all
| other kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds,
Canker, Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, 1t has
| been proved by the most abundant and convincing
| testimony to be an invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all limitations
of our preparation either in style of putting
up. aprl4eodSw1m

Some of your readers are now gathering their
potato crop, and preparing the ground to be seed
ed down with wheat; this preparing is often
hastily done and much neglected May word
to such he in time. Many farmers think that
because the ground was heavily MANFRED for the
potatoes, that it cannot fail to bring crop of
wheat. But many are sadly disappointed. The
seed is so badly put in that portion of it fails
grow; and the weeds spring up and choke ont
what does grow aud this being consequently
weak and thin, is the prey of the y, weeyil, ETC.,
so that she harvest brings very poor reward.
But as tar as my observation and experience
reach, as good wheat can be raised after potatoes
as anything else, simply by first putting the
ground in good order. OF course, little manure
is needfnl for wheat, SOW it where you may
If farmers would spend more time in preparing
their potato patches for wheat, they would be
abnndantly repaid for it at the harvest. l have
frequently seen wheat sown after the ground
had only been plowed to get the potatoes which
are left after the digging is dome, when, if the
ground had had q second blowing very great
difference in the appearance and yield of the
wheat would have been realized.
wonld say to those who cannot obtain good
wheat after potatoes, TO try giving the ground a
second blowing; they will find that the ground
will be in much better order, and the yield nearer
their expectations. = Correspondent Gamantorn

Cure for Hydrephobin.

The first of the annexed prescriptions by NJ
Crossar, French physician, and is said to be the
cure for the bite of mad dog:
Take two tablespoonful of fresh chloride OF
lime in powder-mix it with half pint of water
aud with this wash keep the wound constantly
bathed, and frequently renewed. The chloride
gas Possesses the power of decomposing this ire
mendous poison, and renders mild and harmless
that venom against whose resistless attack the
artillery of medical science has been so lons d.
rected in vain.
1t is necessary to add that this wash should be
applied as soon as possible after the irfction of
the bite. The following are the results of this
treatment:
From 1910 to 1924, the number of persons adj
mitted into the Breslau hospital was 1874 into
the hospital at Zurich 233 persons bitten by diff.
ferent animals (182 by dogs,) of whom only four
died.
4 writer in the National Intellgencer, saws that
the spirit of hartshorn is a certain remedy for
the bite OF mad dog.
The wounds, be adds, should be constantly
bathed with it, and three or four doses diluted
taken inwardly, during the day.
The hartshorn decompOses chemically the virus
insinuated into the wound, and Immediately
alters and destroys its deleteriOusness. The wri-
ter, who resided in Brazil for some time first
tried it for the bite of a scorpion, and found that
it removed pain and inflammation instantly.
subsequently he tried it for the bite of the rat
tlesnake, with similar success. At the sugges-
tiOn of the writer. old friend and physician of
England tried it in cases of bydrophobia, and al.
ways with success.

Hints for the sea.an.

Cattle for fattening next fall should have a
good start by being allowed full pasture during
summer. There should be free access =; water.
If pasture for milch cows be short feed night and
morning with. cut grass clover, OF millet, corn
etc, from the ground devoted to that purpose
Calves will thrive well upon a good growth OF
clover with but little other feed.
Sow strapleaf and other Quick growing vare.
ties Of turnips among corn, after early potatoes
and also on vacant ground. dressing of super.
phosphate of lime will hasten the growth.
Allow no weeds to 90 to seed. Those cut when
nearly ripe should be burned, otherwise the seed
may mature before the stalk dries, and, if added
to the manure heap, will be ready to spring up
with the crops next year
All the aromatic herbs should be cut while
they are in flower, and be either tied in small
lunches or spread ont thinly and dried in the
shade.
The hoe and the rake should be kept busy
whenever the ground is not too wet. If dry, hoe
the ofterer; cool soil cOndenses moisture from
the air.

SNAKE BITTEN.-A son of John Britt's, who
resides about eight miles southwest of Knoxville.
while gathering strawberries on the prairie, was
severely bitten on the arm by an enormous tim
Der rattlesnake. He was at once hurried home,
and by the application of a recipe, which we
find published in the Knoxville Democrat, was
cured. The recipe is as follows:
Take the yellow of one egg, one tablespoon
full of salt, one tablespoonful of gunpowder, mix
thoroughly, and apply over the bite, as plaster.
As long as the poison remains in the wound the
plaster will absorb and fall of. Re-apply imme-
datey until the plaster sticks, which is evidence
that the poison has all been drawn out"
Let every one cut oat this recipe and remem-
Der 1t. Many lives have been saved by its appli-
cation.

4" Old Bill Allen.o-A Little BIT Of Romance
I'm His Life.

There has been bit of romance in the life of
Hon. William Allen, whom the straightout DEM
Ocrats of Ohio have nominated for Governor, and
il involves another. The Columbus State Journal
tells the two stories thus: "At the beginning of
the political campaign in $780, when Allen was
nominated for Congress by the Democrats, and
Macarthur, the Wing Governar, was a candidate
for reelection, Allen was the lover of MeArthurs
daughter, and between them there was an engage
ment to be married. But it is said that after
McArthur's defeat, the Governor broke off the
matrimonial engagement, and the lady married
a Kentucky gentleman, who died before the ex-
pnaiion of Aliens term in the house. Gener-
al Macarthur died about the same time. At
this point comes in another little romance. A
gentleman who was an ultra democrat, and q
great admirer of the then rising young man, Al
len @. Thurman, had daughter, who, much to
her fathers chagrin, married a wing. In max
ing his WILL the old gentleman disposed of the
r"perty 10 his daughter in such way that the
wing husband could not acquire title in it. This
lady also became widow she afterward met
Allen G. Thurman, and is now Mrs. Senator
Thurman. 1t was at the wedding of Judge
Thurman that Mr.. Allen again met the daughter
Of Gov. Macarthur, (by this time the widow of
the Kentucky gentleman.) The old love was re-
newed; they were married, and lived happily
together until the death of Mrs. Allen, which
occurred before the expiration of Mr.. Aliens Sena-
torial term. Mr.. Allen has since been a widOwer.

REMEDY FOR THE BoRER.-A correspondent Of
the Maine Farmer says his apple trees are not
troubled by that pest, the bOrer He further
states that he applied the earth and substance
taken from where his sink spout emptied to the
trunk, or rather around the collars of his apple
trees each autumn, and then dug it away or re
moved it the next summer. He considered this
an effeetnsl remedy, as the borer did not trouble
soil around the tree, after being ding away. OF
course, the soil where the spout enptied would
have been renewed yearly, by supplying a cart
load of earth, sods, etc., to absorb and hold the
refuse liquid. If not used IN this manner. the
Stops FROM the sink should always be added to
the compost heap. or applied to the garden crops
during the growing season, as they are too valua-
BILE and rich in fertilizng material to be wasted.
