Medicinal Poisons ON the Wane.

The patrarchs took no mercury, no bismuth no
iodine, no bromide of potassium, strychoria, no
Quinine. Happy old gentlemenl they did not even
know of the existence of these specifics, and yet
they lived until it seemed if Death had forgotten
them. Their medicines were herbs and roots They
have left this fact ON record. and the world seems
to be now taking note of it and returning to the
first principles of medication. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, the purest and most eficacious vegetable
restorative of the day, is also the most popular.
Thousands of persons who only few years ago be-
lieved implicitly in all the posons which figure in
the pharmacepia now pronounce this palatable
tonic and Alternative an all sufficient remedy for
dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipation, bilious
complaints, headache, intermittent fevers, and all
the ordinary disturbances of the stomach the liver,
the discharging organs and the brain. The time is
not far distant when most of the powerful and ven-
omous drugs now so recklessy administered by
practitioners of the heroic school, in cases that
might easily be controlled by milder treatment,
will be utterly discarded by all philosophical ply
scians AS it is, the thinking public, who are gen
orally ahead of the professionals, have already put
the dangerous preparations aside and adopted Hos
letters Biters in their stead safe and excellent
household medicine, adapted to almost every all
ment except the organic and deadly contagious
diseases For more than twenty years this famous
restorative and preventive has been annually
strengthening its hold upon the public confidence
and it takes the lead of every advertised med
icine manufactured in this country.

to do this thing right anyhow and being
little tired of playing "second fiddle"
we retired from active operations for few
days and let the boys take hand at 1t.
1t you want to destroy the serenity of a
neighborhood, the quickest way is to let
boy work garden hose. In the first
place he wants to water the street, to the
peril of travellers, instead of combining his
labors to the inside of the fence. Then
all the other boys within mile seem to
know the fact, and they swarm like flies
around the youthful representative OF rain.
Then struggle commences. The boy
of the the house lets his companions have
it in the face; they retaliate by stamping
over the flowers, and stepping on the hose
to prevent the flow of the liquid, and
general row ensues, only to be suppressed
by Madame in majestic state of indigna-
ton, who finally succeeds in dispensing
the rebels, and proudly bears away the
insulted instrument to its place of repOse
in the back shed. We are informed when
we arrive home that all the children of
the neighborhood left orr premises in
condition of immersion, and never while
she lives, is that hose to be put again in
the custody of the boysr When we I'M
dertake to water the next time, we are
nervously conscious that our efforts do not
meet the expectations of the presiding an
gel of the househould. She can stand our
incapacity no longer, and comes out in
rural straw hat, and says, "let me show
you how to do it; men are SO awkward n'
She grasps the hose as woman is apt to
grasp pistol, as though she was little
afraid it might 60 off suddenly, and the
nozzle having limp, downward tendency,
fires away very near her tidy slipper
"Mercy" she utters, and rectifying the
range with a quick upward movement,
she takes the lady in white muslin, ring
ing the bell at the next door, with a per-
feet "line-shot." Dropping the hose, she
begs pardon in the incest manner, re-
marking that "Mr. -. has been using
the hose, and got it so out of order it be-
haved shamefully." We sneak into the
house with weight on our mind, and at
night we dream that for some terrible of
Tense we have been sentenced to sprinkle
the desert of Sahara with a garden hose
Suffering under the scorching rays of
tropical sun, and alarmed at the appear
ance of Arabs and bowling dervishes that
dance around us at the sight of water, we
shrek in our midnight agony. We are
awakened from our nightmare to be in
formed "that we have made fuss and
trouble enough during the day not to make
the night hideous." Any one wishing to
procure frst-class garden hose, in per-
feet working order, warranted to squirt
correctly when used by the proper par
ties can buy one cheap of us, ON condi-
ton they will exercise it in another
county.-After Dinner.

How the Persians Collect Debts.

The Persian creditor having once de-
termined to get his money calls for it
early in the morning and cannot be per
suaded to go away until he is paid He
brings his carpet with him and sits down
in his debtors bedroom, eating, drinking,
sleeping, and smoking there till he IS
bought off. Some years ago, not many,
Persian had, or fancied that he had, a
claim on the English Foreign Office.
So one day he travelled away from TIE
heran, and, after many strange adventures,
arrived in London, taking his carpet with
him, and fully prepared to sit upon the
Foreign Office, which he supposed to be a
person, till he was satisfied Lord Pal
merston was Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs at the time, and took the thing
good humoredly; but Mr.. Hammond, the
Under Secretary of State, who is sharp
tempered gentleman, and was already high
up in the office, was for calling a police
man.
The practice of Sitting upon man."
as it is called, universally prevails in Per
STA, and 1t is not easy to deal with it.
Still it may be dealt with, and Sir John
Mcneil, a shrewd old Scotch diploma
fist, who was once accredited to the Per
sian court, contrived to get rid of Per-
sian who had tried to sit upon him by a
rather clever device.
Atthe New Year, which is kept as a
great festival in Persia, religious mendi-
cants go about, not 50 much asking for
aims as insisting upon fixed sum. They
generally tax foreign ambassador rather
highly, and one of them, dervis, de-
manded an extravaganza sum from Sir
John Mcneil. The Scotch diplomatist
offered to compromise with him for any
reasonable amount, but his offer was re-
fused, and as he would not give more the
dervis proceeded to sit upon him. He
established himself in Sir Johns garden,
just before his study windows, and every
now and then during the day, and when
ever he woke up at night this dervis set
up horrible hullabaloo and blew
cracked trumpet as if the judgment day had
come. Sir John, who did not like to have
his rest disturbed in this way, determined
to put stop to the dervis' tricks, and
eject him by force; but he was solemnly
warned by the Persian authorities that it
would be dangerous to lay hands upon
the dervis. ''Get rid of him if you CAM
said they, laughing as they are wont to do
at minister's perplexity. "but do not
touch him"
Very WE'LL" said Sir John, dryly; and
he sent for bricklayer
Build me wall round that bowling
beggar in my garden" said Sir John to
the bricklayer, "and then roof it in"
The dervis looked on composedly while the
wall rose slowly round him, and made
more noise than ever; but when he per-
ceived they really meant to shut him in
tomb, alive, he jumped over the lowest
part of the wall and rushed away like
maniac. Sir John was probably the only
European that ever got the better of
dervis.-Cor Ne1os York Herald.

the plumber had to come and alter the
faucets to fit the hose. In these expert
mental moments we had occasion to study
the immense squirting capacity of water

Cholera and Pain-KilIer.

PERRY DAVIS PAIN-KuLER-This unpar-

monials of its wonderful efficacy in removing
pains, than any other medicine ever offered TO
the public. And these testimonials come from

POPULAR FALLACY AND DECEPTIoNs.-
1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of past generation, and to stub
bornly resist the light of reform and pro
gress. Health-reform and Temperance
growth are jealousy watched over by the
Poison Bitters compounders. One great
prevailing deception of the present age,
is the impression that every human biped
of either sex must be stimulated, and the
poisoned chalice is labeled Medicated
Bitters," the better to palliate their use
and prolong the epidemic. One of the
most jealous workers to cure this malady,
DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, Inventor and Pro
prietor of the famed CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs, believes in making Bitters
that are true medicine" and advises the
sick man to swallow draught that will
wash out the Leprosy of~his disease. In
this faith he is steadfast, and his VINEGAR

general character of all other Bitters, are,

Appetite.

AT certain seasons, as in spring and
summer, the appetite of even the very
robust is apt to fail, and the relish for
meats and heavy food to wane. This is
all right enough, for animal diet in warm
weather heats the blood, tends to head
aches, and is generally unwholesome, un-
less sparingly used. On the other hand,
fresh vegetables, berries, fruit and bread
are cooling, corrective, and. what the
palate most Graves. Don't be afraid to 90
without meat for month or so, and, if
you like, live purely upon vegetable regi-
men. We will warrant that you will lose
no more strength than is common to the
time, and that you will not suffer from
protracted heat, as when dining on the
regulation roast.
Many persons regard hearty desire
for food as something Gnrefned, indeli-
cate, and to be constantly discouraged.
This is a greater and more harmful mis-
take than that of coaxing the appetite. 1t
is just as necessary for the man who
works only with his brain to eat beef and
mutton, as for the man who labors solely
with his hands. The stomach and the
brain are twins; the former being the
elder, and having prior right to care. Let
that be well provided for; and it will sus-
tain its brother. The people who strive
to check a wholesome and natural appe-
tite are the people who regard dinner
merely as feed, not the center of an
agreeable social custom and as the domes-
tic event of the day. We are sorry for
them, as they must regard eating at all as
a prosaic duty, obligatory on them be-
cause they have bias in favor of living.
We all know that we must eat to live; but
