tive properties of your Alt Ext, or Golden
Medical Discovery. have taken great in.

was badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver de.
ranged and an almost perfect prostration of
the nervous system. So rapid and complete
did the Discovery effect perfect cure that it
seemed more like magic and a perfect wonder
to myself, ar since that time we have never
been without bottle of the Discovery and
Purgative Pellets in the house. They are a
solid, sound family physician in the house
and ready at all times to fly to the relief of
sickness-without charge. We have never
had doctor in the house since we first be.
gan the use of your Pellets and Discovery.
| have recommended the use of these med
icines in several severe and complicated
cases arising from, as thought, an impure
state of the blood, and in no one case have
they failed to more than accomplish all they
are claimed to do. l will only mention one
as remarkable Though / could give you
dozens). Henry Roster, furniture dealer, of
this place, who was one of the most pitiful
objects ever seen, his face swollen out OF
shape, scales and eruptions without end, ex-
tending to the body, which was completely
covered with blotches and scales. Nothing
that he took seemed to effect il a particle.
finally induced him to try few bottles OF
the Golden Medical Discovery, with daily
use of the Pellets, assuring him it would
surely cure him. He commenced its use
some six weeks since, taking two Pellets each
night for week, then one each night, and the
Discovery as directed. The result is, to-day
his skin isperfectly smooth, and the scaly
eruptions are gone. He has taken some seven
or eight bottles in all, and considers himself
cured. This case had baffied the skill of our
physicians. Messrs. Dunsford & Co., drug
gists, of this place, are selling largely of your
medicines and the demand steadily in
creases, and they give perfect satisfaction in
every case.

TRANSMISSION OF Blood.

A highly interesting and delicate sur
gical operation was performed in this
city by DIR. J. G.. Orton, assisted by DIR.
A. Comstock and E. N. Gillespy, upon
Marcellus A. Hayes, aged twenty-eight
years, who had been suffering from dis.
ease of the lungs during the past four
years, and had become much cmaciated
and enfeebled. The operation known as
the direct TRANSMISSION of blood from a
healthy animal to the human subject
having been agreed upon, DIR. Orton pre-
pared an apparatus which, though simple
in its construction, was well adapted for
the purpose, securing safety to the pa
tient, and facility in the execution of
the delicate operation. A healthy six
months lamb, having been securely in
closed in sack, was placed upon table
by the side of the patients bed, and the
carotid artery exposed for about two and
half inches and ligature applied to
this, arresting the blood current About
two inches below this strong pair of
forceps were applied, which securely
compressed the artery. A small opening
was then made in the section of the YES
sci thus secured, and small glass tube
of about one-eight of an inch bore, three
inches long, slightly bent was inserted,
and the artery carefully tied to it by a
strong silk ligature. To the other end of
the glass tube was attached some twelve
inches of elastic tubing, to the other ex-
tremity of which was secured another
glass tube, similar to the one Just de-
scribed.
The vein usually opened in venesection
at the elbow was now exposed by dissec-
ton for about one inch, and compress
and bandage applied around the arm be-
low the inci.ion. A small opening was
made in the vein exposed, and funnel
shaped glass tube inserted into it and the
vein secured to it by a ligature. This
funnel-shaped tube thus arranged was
filled with a weak solution of soda in
water at the temperature of SO degrees.
In order to determine the amount of
bleod to be transfused, the blood from
the lamb was allowed to flow through
the tube into graduated glass, four
seconds being required to obtain an
ounce of blood.
Everything being now ready, the for
ceps upon the lambs artery were relaxed,
anu ultcI dli ali WdS ICulONCo iiOHi
tubes and the blood flowed briskly, the
fore end of the glass tube was inserted
into the one connected with the vein Of
the patients arm, and Immediately the
pure blood of the lamb coursed freely in
to the system of the sick man. BY tim
ing the flow it was estimated that eight
ounces Of blood were thus introduced.
The patient experienced at the termi-
nation of the operation a peculiar
warmth over the whole body, and sem
sation of fullness; this was succeeded by
a slight chill, and this was soon followed
by decided reaction, his pulse becoming
full and slightly accelerated. During
the remainder of the day and up to last
reports, the patient continued to feel
very comfortable, and is encouraged to
think that he will derive permanent
benefit from this novel operation to
which he had voluntarily submitted
himself-Binghamton Times.

Satan's Mark.

A few days since, in going into nay
back yard, where fresh-killed pig had
just been hung up, man who knew /
was curious i'm such matters, said,
"There, now, there's the mark as Satan
made it in the herd Of swine before they
ran down the cliffs into the sea-" point
ing to five dark marks on the skin of
the inside of each fore-leg. On my
questioning him, he answered me he had
never seen pig without them Q have
since looked at five, and they had the
same); and he said the tradition was
that all swine had them ever since the
casting out of the devils which destroyed
the herd in the sea. My queries are,
does this mark always exist? how do
anatomists account for it?-Notes and
Queries.

The Cost OF Strikes.

The Chicago Tribune prints some in
teresting facts bearing on this subject.
That paper says:
In 1929 the Manchester spinners struck.
They lost 81 ,250, 900 in wages before the
dispute was at an end. The next year
their brethren at Ashton and Staley-
bridge followed their example in striking
and losing $1,250,008. In 1888 the
builders Of Manchester forfeited $780,.
900 by voluntary idleness. In 1886 the
spinners of Preston threw away $2S6, 900.
Eighteen years afterward their successors,
$1,000 strong, slowly starved through
thirty-six weeks, and paid 81, 100, 900 for
the privilege. In 1853 the English iron
workers lost $215, 900 by strike. Such
losses marked, too, the strikers Of the
London builders in 1860, and tailors in
1868, and Northern iron workers in 1868.
The strike of the Belfast linen wcavers,
which was ended few weeks since by
the mediation of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science, cost
operatives 81, ,000, 900. The recent strike
Of the shoemakers of Chicago cost them
a much larger sum than they needed as
q capital for cooperative shop Of their
own. After they had wasted the first
sum they tried in vain TO faisea the
second.

IT RUNS LIKE A PRAIRIE FIRE !-DR.
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs runs like
a prairie fire. The fame of the Temper
ance Tonic is, however. but poorly exem-
plified by this figure Of speech, for a
prairie fire runs only in one direction,
whereas the reputation Of the Bitters
spreads toward all points of the compass.
There is not square mile of inhabited
territory in the United States, where
this meritorious preparation is not appre-
ciated. If any theoretical gentleman
thinks he is prepared to show that "there
is nothing in it,,,we advise him to go to
the Prairie States, in the Mississippi
Valley, to the deltas of the Southern
rivers, to New England, in fact, anywhere
within the limits of "Uncle Sans real
estate" and ventilate his views. BY SO
doing he can raise heartier and more
general laugh than has ever yet shaken
the sides of an intelligent people. Persons
who have been cured can't help laugh
ing at other people, who tell them that
the medicine which saved their lives is a
failure IA

Fashion Gossip.

The fashion report in recent number
of the Hearth and Home, New York;
closes as follows
"The fashions of the day are really
such as no sensible, quiet, modest woman
can wear. Apart from the waste and the
cost, the glittering beads, the Norwegian
belts linked with metal, the hats turned
up high on one side, the ridiculous little
pockets-now worn at the back, so that
there shall be no pretense of usefulness
the clasps, the pendants, the savage fnery
of every description, make them look
more as if they were tricked out for
masquerade or a raree show than like
women whose lives are filed with mani
fold duties. This question of dress is as
suming daily more serious aspect, and
it is time for intelligent women TO de-
eide whether they shall give their time,
strength and means to every whim and
vagary, or adopt some fixed ideas and
principles which will save them from be-
ing carried away by every foolish breath
and caprice of fashion, and give digni-
nifty and strength to conduct and char
acter which now women seem TO have
lost altogether.

Household Helps.

RECEIPT FOR GLUE FOR READY USE
To the quantity of glue use common
whisky instead of water. Put both to-
gether in bottle, cork tight, and set it
away for three or four days. 1t will
then be fit for use without the applica-
tiOn of heat. 1t will be found useful and
handy article in every household.
CHINCH BUG PREvENTIvE.-Atam meet
ing Of the Illinois Horticultural Society,
DIR. LIE Baron recommended single line
of tar on the ground, the chinch bug not
crossing it /; and Prof Riley said that salt
and lime are both good preventives. He
strongly recommended clean culture, and
burning all rubbish in autumn, and said
that most of the bugs would be found in
the cornstalks.
CHAPPED HANDs-The easiest and
simplest remedy is found in every ones
kitchen closet, and is nothing more than
common salt. Reduce it to an impal-
pable powder, and put it in muslin bag,
keep 1t in the table drawer. Whenever
you take your hands out of the dish
water or suds wipe them dry with a soft
towel, and while yet damp, shake the
starch bag all over them and rub it in.
The effect is most agreeable.
CHICKEN CRoQUETs.-Cold chicken.
chopped parsley, little cream, grated
cracker, lemon favoring, salt, pepper,
mace. Cut the chicken very fine. Season
it with salt, pepper, and mace. Add a
good deal of chopped parsley. Moisten
with cream sufficient to make a paste.
Mould in wine-glass, with grated bread
or cracker on the outside of each croquet
Fry them quickly in hot lard. Brown
them handsomely. A little lemon well
mixed before molding is an improve
ment.
BRAN BIsCUIT.-Fivc cups of flour,
one cup of bran, one pint of milk and
water, little more milk than water, the
water not very cold; one-half cup of
yeast, one small teaspoonful of salt, and
one-half teaspoonful Of soda. Set this TO
rise overnight. In the morning heat
ironclads very hot, then butter them
well. Pour in the mixture, and bake in
quick oven. When these biscuit are
cold they are very nice cut open and
covered with boiling milk. To be eaten
with butter.
ADMINISTRATION CAKE.-Five cups
ofiour six eggs, two cups Of butter, two
cups Of sugar, one cup Of molasses, one
pound of raisins, two and one-half pounds
ofcurrants, one-half pound of citron, one
and one-half teaspoonsful of soda, Glove,
nutmeg. one glass Of milk. Beat the eggs
very light. Dissolve the soda in the
milk. Stone the raisins, and rub them
and the currants in little of the -four,
before adding them to the cake. Cut the
citron in small pieces Crate the nut

In the center Of the floor, which was
of earth beaten hard, and was conse-
quently very uneven, was deepish hole
containing ashes. This, in the winter,
was the fireplace of the cabin, the smoke
Of which had TO make its escape through
the imperfect roof and by the door and
windows. 1t served. however, one good
purpose, viz: that Of drying some wild
boar hams, tongues and other pieces of
preserved flesh, which hung from a rude
beam across the building, and upon
which, as Frank observed, at night the
chickens found comfortable perch.
The same fowls were, in fact, the happiest
members of the household, for they
picked and scratched apparently to some
purpose on the very floor Of the establish

Useful Information.

M. A. FLAMANT, in Les MOndes, states
that few bundles of raw hemp COM
pletely expels weevils from granaries.
A NEW potato, known as the white
queen (reine blanche, } is being cultivated
in France. In good soil, from twelve to
fifteen tubers are formed, many of which
attain or exceed twenty-five pounds. The
flavor is said to be very fine. Planted in
February or March, it becomes ripe in
July.
The Farmer says: "All lovers of
flowers must remember that one blossom
allowed to mature or go to seed Injuries
the plant more than dozen buds. Cut
your flowers, then, all of them, before
they begin to fade. Adorn your room
with them, put them on your tables, send
bouquets to your friends who have no
flowers, or exchange favors with those
who have. On bushes not seed should
be allowed to mature"
The number of horses kept upon a
farm is said to be a good index Of the
amount of labor applied to the soil.
When we read therefore that ten to four
teen horses are required upon "mixed"
farm of three hundred to five hundred
acres in England, with the useful pro-
portion of its area in grass, the reflection
is suggested that in our agriculture too
little attention is given to the cultivation
of crop.
NEVER boil coffee. The reason is that
not only the better part of it (the ex-
hilarating) escapes, but that the extrac-
tive properties, which, if largely used,
are unhealthy, are alone present. Bring
up to the boiling point, but do not boil.
You thus get sufficient of the extractive
matter to give body, retaining all the
volatile, healthy, and relishing prop
critics.
To mend chinaware take very thick
solution of gum-arabic, and stir into it
plaster of paris until the mixture is of a
proper consistency. Apply it with a
brush to the fractured edges of the china
ware and stick them together. In few
days it will be impossible to break the
article in the same place. The whiteness of
the cement renders it doubly valuable.
THERE is rarely, if ever, any need of
using soap on the face, except for very
dirty people, or where there is much oil
secreted by the skin. Pure soft water is
generally quite sufficient. AS rule,
avoid the very free use of soap on the
skin, except the mildest kinds. Face
powders Injuries the skin, just as dirt does,
by obstructing the pores. If there is any
poison in the face powder, as there often
is, it only adds poison to dirt, and makes
the matter so much the worse.
Miss SwIssHELM advises ladies to
sponge themselves well with alcohol and
water twice day. We would be glad to
know whether the alcohol is to be taken
externally or internally; also, whether
the water might not be omitted. Per.
haps the medicine is to be taken as John
McGoodwin was in the habit of using
brandy for his badness. He would rub
the stuff on his scalp to make the hair
grow, and then would put some on the
inside to clinch the roots.

IT is said that the brain of an idiot
contains about one per cent. of phosphoric
matter, that of persons of sound intellect
81 per cent, while that of the maniac 81
per cent. If this be so, it would seem
that in maniac the brain appropriates
an undue proportion Of phosphoric mat
ter from the rest of the system, whereby
its functions are materially impaired.

CHowDER.-Fresh codor haddock, four
slices of pork, potatoes, onions, six or
eight hard crackers, milk, -four, salt. pep
per. Put the pork into frying-pan::
Fry 1t out: then take the dry pieces and
put them in kettle. Put layer of fish
over them. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper,

Cover with cold water. Put the kettle
on the fire. When the chowder begins
to boil, let it boil twenty minutes
About five minutes before it is done dip
the hard crackers in cold water and lay
them on the top. Just as it is taken from
the fire add little milk.
