Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bronchf-
It's, COnsumption. A Wonderful Cure.


ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. Is, 1874.
r. V. PIERCE, NJ D., Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear SIR had suffered from catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years and
for several years from Bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things with no lasting
benefit. In May, 10, beco ing nearly worn
out with excessive editorial labors on a paper
in New York city, was attacked with bron-
chitis in severe form, suffering almost
total loss of voice. I returned home here,
but'had been home only two weeks when /
was completely FRUSTRATED with hemorrhage
from the lungs, having four severe bleeding
spells within two weeks, and first three inside
of nine days In the September following, /
improved sufficiently to be able to be about,
though in very feeble state Ny bronchial
trouble remained, and the catarrh was tenfold
worse than before. Every effort for relief
seemed fruitless. l seemed to be losing
ground daily. / continued in this feeble state,
raising blood almost daily until about the first
of March, '73, when became so bad as to be
entirely confined to the house. A friend sug-
gested your remedies. But / was extremely
skeptical that they would do me good, as had
lost all heart in remedies, and began to look
upon medicine and all doctors with disgust.
However, | obtained one of your circulars,
and read it carefully, from which 1 came to
the conclusion that you understood your bust
ness, at least finally obtained quantity of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Med
ical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced
my surprise, soon began to improve. The
Discovery and Pellets, in short time, brought
out severe eruption. which continued for
several weeks. 1 felt much better, my appe-
tite improved, and gained in strength and
flesh. In three months every vestige of the
catarrh was gone, the bronchitis had nearly
disappeared; had no cough whatever and /
had entirely ceased to raise blood and con-
trary to the expectation of come OF my
friends, the cure has remained permanent. /
have had no more hemorrhages from the
lungs, and am entirely free from catarrh, from
which had suffered so much and so long
The debt of gratitude 1 owe for the blessing l
have received at your hands, knows no bound.
1 am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience,
that your medicines will master the worst
forms of that odious disease, catarrh, as well
as throat and lung diseases. l have recon
mended them to very many and shall ever
speak in their praise.
Gratefully yours,
VIM Fl. SPENCER.

The Range of a chinaman,s Appetite.

Tea is an indispensable requisite at
every Chinese board, but coffee is also
consumed to a moderate extent. The
popular supposition that the heather
esctews the ardent is somewhat eIrone-
Gus. He rarely imbibes to the degree
of riotOus hilarity, but he does relish
right heartily sam shoe, or rice brandy,
and consumes large quantities of this
pernicious distillation. The sham shoe
is an article SURPRISING in the strength
and durability of its Intoxicating prop
critics the famous sheep herder's de-
light, and the heather faculty of resist
ing its injurious effects demonstrates
the power of his physical temperament
and fortitude of his intellectual organi-
cation. The Cinnamon do not banker
after rats, as is commonly believed, but
among the poorer classes this varmint
is sometimes devoured of necessity. A
sleek and well-fed cat, however, is a
prize for the gods and is greatly es-
teemed by the heather epicure. For
this reason a pampered feline pet is
always in peril in the vicinity of the
Chinese quarter, and is liable at any
time to be snatched from the rug of
luxury and case and dropped into pot
of boiling water.-Sdn Franc CGA

he Sanitary Condition of Water

There is no more prolific source of
disease than bad water but to distin-
guish whether the fluids unfit for con-
sumption or not is somewhat difficult.
Water from certain river spring or
well may be repulsiYe to the senses and
yet harmless to the stomach, in com
parison with other water which has q
much more attractive appearance. Per
haps the best mode of determining TIE
question is to examine the condition OF
the organisms dwelling in the proposed
source to be utilized. If, for example,
an industrial establishment or a collec-
ton of dwellings empties refuse into
the stream, and as a result fish disap-
pear or are found dead upon the sur
face, it is certain that the water is
strongly and injurioUsly affected The
gradual infection may be noted by the
fish first rising to the top, apparently
vitiated water also mollusks perish, and
their bodies decompose rapidly. In
the air they merely seem to dry up and
retain life, though torpid for some time,
becoming revivified by return to water.
Crosses cannot live in corrupt water,
and their existence is q sign of purity in
Gno nulG. Wn1Ie algH deprived OF Inelr
green color indicate absolute corrup-
ton. NJ. Gerardin, in referring to this
subject, in recent note to the French
academy, states that the best method
of measuring the degree CT purity or of
infection in the water is by d, termining
the amount of oxygen in given quanti-
ty. Water containing a large percent
age OF the gas is pure and good but
when little f the latter is present, the
water is decidedly deleterious to health.

Cures for Dyspepsia,

Dyspepsia arises from a great variety
of causes, and different persons ale re.
lieved by different remedies, according
to the nature of the disease and condi
ton of the stomach. We know of a
lady who asderived great benefits from
drinking a tumbler of sweet milk-the
richer and fresher the better-wherever
a burning sensation is experienced in
the stomach. An elderly gentleman of
our acquaintance, who was afflicted for
many years with distress after eating,
has effected cure by mixing a table
spoonful of wheat bran in half a tum-
bier of water, and drinking it half an
hour after his meals. 1t is necessary TO
stir quickly and drink Immediately, or
the bran will adhere to the glass and
become pastry. Coffee and tobacco are
probably the worst substances dyspep-
tics can use.

ADULTERATED BUTTER, butter
Is mixed with tallow it may be detected
by melting a little of the butter in a
spoon and smelling it, when the tallow
may at once be perceived. Another way
to learn whether this substance has
been added is to melt small piece of
butter at a heat not exceeding that of
boiling water, and pour it into wine
glass. Then Immediately pour over it
two fluid drachms of commercial nitric
acid (squa foTtis), and shake them
slightly. If the butter employed was
pure it will rise to the surface and not
become Opaque for some minutes, but
if it contains much tallow it will be-
come a more or less Opaque white mass,
the nature of the change and the time
required depending on the amount of
fat present in the adulterated. Some
times butter is adulterated with horse
bone oil. In this case the butter is to
be shaken up with hot water until
melted, and allowed to collect upon the
surface. Remove five drops of this and
place them on watch glass, and imme-
diately add ten drops of strong sulphu-
ric acid. If the butter has been adul-
terated with horse bone oil, a deeper
color will be produced than if the but
ter did not contain that substance,

Cows that Kick.

Many of our best COWS dislike to be
MIXED, and are fussy and uneasy when
you set a pail under them. This is
particularly the case with the jersey
grades. Instances of This kind seem to
be more numerous than formerly, and
are more numerous in diaries kept I'M
der the forcing system adopted by those
who supply milk for the market or
cheese factory. In many or perhaps
most cases COWS become addicted to it
after having been MIXED for a few
years, though quiet and gentle the first
year of their milking. There is no
doubt that the production of q large
quantity of milk is often attended with
sensation of soreness and exhaustion
i'll the tactical parts, which induce a sen
satiOn of dread and dislike to be MIXED
by the animal. In a case like this
and think they comprise fully nine
tenths of the troublesome milkers-it
is the worst kind of folly to abuse a
COW for kicking. When a COW becomes
troublesome about milking, the best
thing that can be done is to fasten the
foot with a rope. Make the end of the
rope fast behind her, tak9 a wind and
dlaw the foot little back and tie with
half hitch. Put measure of shorts
or some other provender before her,
then proceed carefully to milk, favoring
her as she shows cringing or uneasiness
The extraction of large paiiful. twice
day, Ct rich, ighly-vitalized fluid,
like milk, can exert no other than an ex
hausting and facilitating influence on
the animal. This on nervous animal
soon induces irri'ability and what we
call vicious conduct. No animal needs
kind and careful treatment more than
COWS giving a large quantity of milk.
