Housekeeper'' of Health.

The liver being the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system-Set this great
" housekeeper of our health'' atwork, and the
foul corruptions which gender in the blood,
and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life,
are gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery with very small daily doses of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are pre-
eminently the articles needed. They cure
every Kind of humor from the worst serofula
to the common pimple, blotch or eruption.
Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their
mighty curative influence. Virulent blood
poisons that Turk in the system are by them
robbed of their terrors, and by their perse-
vering and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely renovated
and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors
and swellings dwindie away and disappear
under the influence of these great resolyents.

IT is now generally admitted by honest
physicians, that when once the consumption
is fairly fastened upon the lungs, no human
power can save the patient from death. They
also say that about fifty per cent. of those who
die from this disease can trace the cause to a
neglected cough or cold, which might have
been cured by small bottle of Liquid Opo-
deldoc, or what is the same thing, .1otias0n's

SIX MILLIoNs.-About two years ago,
DIR. J. WALKER. an old and prominent
physician of California, discovered, by ac-
tnal experience upon his own system,
medicine which may honestly be termed
"a boon to suffering humanity" Being
combination of herbalistic extracts, pun
gent and sour to the taste, and yet pos
sessed of gentle stimulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it VINEGAR BrTTERs. and despite
the prejudice existing among his protes-
sion. against all patented medicines, he de
termined to brave the jeers of his brother
practitioners, and give to suffering human
fty the benefit of his accidental discovery.
He did so, and the benefits from its use be-
came known. The demand increased, and
immense quantities were sold, at merely
nominal price. Its merit is toldin the fact
that " in two years over SIX MILLIONS OF
bottles have been sold;" and still the de
mand increases. Surely such man should
be ranked among the benefactors of the
human race.

DoN,T TANPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hu
mainly is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in in its early stage. A simple cough Is
generally regarded as temporary Addiction
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, It IS the ne
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-C consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not cheeked--so sure as the
riyulet leads to the river, yet is is an easy enc
NV to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.

edy of the age, and has earned its reputation

Total value,
WEALTH AND TAXATION.

The total wealth of the State of real and per-
soDal property for the year 1873, valued on
true cash basis, is $242 sos, 1888, an increase of
$17, 1886, 1923 since 1870. There has been an in
crease in personal valuation, probably on &C
count of the establishment Of new manufact-
uring enterprises, aslwell as an increase in the
value of real estate; but the percentage of ap-
probation is smaller than that of trennal
exhibit previous to 1870, occasiOned mainly by
a shrinkage in values during the present year.
The increase made in taxable values is due
mostly, if not entirely, to our agricultural
thrift and manufacturing prosperity. A table
is given showing that there is a decline in the
rate of taxation
