Fall ShaWls.

Square shawls for early fall wear
for ladies, says fashion Journal, have
plain centers with striped or plaid bor-
ders, and are all of shades of one color,
gray, brown, or blue being preferred.
Long shawls for travelling are of thick
plush-like fabrics with Oriental names,
and are usually in large broken plaids.
Cashmere shawls that do not profess to
be India shawls, but are of PLAIN col
ored cashmere and striped borders, are
tasteful and, moreover, soft and warm.
These are shown in mode. blue, and
scarlet. Unique shawls also of soft
cashmere wool mixed silk, have palm
leaf patterns of gold on black or scarlet
grounds, or else have mixtures of blue,
red, gold, and black, in true Eastern
fashion. Black cashmere shawls fol
old ladies, have richly embroidered
edges dotted with jet. The edges are
scalloped, and do not require lace tc
finish them, though deep guipure
lace border adds to their elegance.

No More HerOics.

The deadly vegetable alkaloids such
as Mercury, Strychnine, and Prussic
Acid cannot cure disease or produce
any but the most disastrous results.
Perhaps no event has occurred of late
years which is so we'll calculated to dis
abuse the public mind of a belief in
the efficacy of mineral poisons and
bleeding as the discovery of Doctor
Walker, of California, of certain medi-
cinal herbs, whose healing principles
he has extracted and combined in the
form of VINEGAR BITTERs. The cures
wrought by it seem marvellous. Its
action is mild and agreeable, but at
the same time rapid and effectual, and
being unimpeded by the presence of
alcohol or fermented liquor of any de-
scription, is attended with results hith-
erto unacbieved by any remedial agent.
The cures of Bilious Complaints,
Malarious Fever, Dyspepsia, Rheuma.
tism, Scrofula, and all diseases arising
from impurities of the blood, attest the
paramount excellence of this medicine,
and justify us in recommending it,.

Opium Habit Cured,

In making the assertion that "the Opium
Habit can be cured" do not ask or expect the
public to rely upon my statement alone but
l here present certificates from a few of the
hundreds that have been cured by the use of
my "PAINLEss OPIUM ANTIDoTE." l have
made the cure of the Opium Habit specially
since 1868, and think 1 thoroughly understand
the disease. The Antidote stands on it's own
merits, and all ask of those interested is to
investigate and satisfy themselves on these
points. publish quarterly magazine of 100
pages devoted to the interest of Opium Eaters.

CANNING GREEN CoRN.-The follow
ing is an excellent recipe for canning
green corn: Dissolve 24 OF. tartaric
acid in one pint of water. OF this solu-
tion use one teaspoonful to every pint
of corn. while the corn is at boiling
heat. When opened for use add one
teaspoonful of soda to every three pints
of corn. Some fruit has been poisoned
by being put up in leaden tin cans in
stead of bright tin cans. The poor
cans have the appearance of lead while
good cans are bright and have no
poisoning properties. Never use seal
ing wax that has been used before.

DR.. Collins, La Porte Ind:
DEAR SIR-I owe you an apology for not
writing sooner and letting you know how l
came out with your Opium Antidote. 1t has
been about six months since quit using the
Antdote, and 1 am now all right and have
been ever since I quit; in fact ever since l
commenced using it. My health is about as
good as it was before 1 had the rheumatism
which caused me to form the habit of using
morphine l feel very thankful that l ever
learned of your Antidote, and am free to con-
fess that 1 thought it was humbug but,
as drowning men will catch at straws, con-
cluded to try it, and can now say that it il
no humbug, but it is just what you claim fol
it--a complete antidote for the habit of Opium
Eating. You can use my name in connection
with this if you wish. Yours truly,

I wish to repay, SO far as 1 can, the great
obligations owe to you for saving my life.
Having been victim to that most terrible
habt-the use Of opium-and having reached
that point when 1 felt that all was lost and no
hope remained, upon hearing of your Antidote,
l ventured to try it. L did so as you well
know and from the time l commenced taking
it have never put particle Of the accursed
drug between my lips 1 was able from the
first to pursue my usual avocation, and, in fact,
dispatch largely increased amount of bust
ness. My physicians advised me that was
only substituting one habit for another but,
notwithstanding all they said, kept on, and
ultimately reached a condition when had no
trouble in abandoning the medicine. 1t is
now nearly two years since l was cured, and !
enjoy the best of health and am enabled to
endure any amount of work and fatigue with
out inconvenience. l feel and desire to sc
express myself, that l owe my life to you and
you can, therefore, imagine my feelings toward
you. | have advised several people in my
locality to apply to you for aid, and all who
have done go have been fully cured. I am

DEAR SIR-When first went to you for con-
sultation and conference with reference to my
case, and after full statement of facts, you
did not promise to cure me under twelve
months. and with that information 1 went
under your treatment and L gave you an
exact and truthful statement Of my case, and
commenced to take your medicine as directed.
The result was you completed a permanent
cure in a little over eight months time. AL
most fUe months have now passed since left
off taking your medicine, and l am well,
happy, and prosperous man once again. Joy
and gladness have come once more to our
family circle and driven forever away that
sadness and grief and deep sorrow that had
settled there because of my illness and bond
age to that great task and save-master, Nor
phtne For eight long, weary, sorrowing years
fed me day by day for all that time to satisfy
the demands of habit entailed upon me by the
doctors who attended me during my long ill
ness in the summer and fall of 1864 Since
the first Tuesday in October last L have been
i'll court every day, here and there, with but
one or two exceptions, and l have had full
strength of mind and body to enable me to
conduct the matters and business there de-
manded of me. But for your aid your skill,
and your medicine, L neUer could have done
such work. l tell you, Doctor am well again;
l am what have written you am. You have
done for me all and more than l have ever
written you. That awfully heavy weight or
load of profound grief and apprehensive sor-
row that had for 80 long time settled upon
the hearts of dearly loved ones in my own
loved home, because they saw through NOR
phine the surely and swiftly coming of the
sleep of death during the long night Of the
grave, has been completely removed and now
with light hearts and joyous, happy spirits
| they move on and on through the hours Of thit
life, neUer forgetting my great emanciptior
from the long and terrible bondage of tina
cruel but seductive poison morphine.
