Are You Slave to Strong Drink !
Then Read This and be Cured.

DIR. Brunton, an English physician,
has been writing to the British Messen-
ger on the temptation of drunkenness
caused by the craving for stimulants
felt by some people. He furnishes
prescriptions which he believes will
overcome this craving and which are to
be obtained by his readers at the nearest
druggists. Here are two of them : LIST.
Put quarter of an ounce of sulphate
of iron and half an ounce of magnesia
in al ordinary quart bottle, and fill it
up with peppermint water A wine
gIassful to be taken three or four times
day. Instead of the peppermint
water An infusion of dried peppermint
may be used. 1t may be made stronger
or weaker according to the taste of the
patient, and should be allowed to cool
before it is added to the sulphate of
iron and magnesia A little gum-arabic
or gum. iragacanth added to. the mix
ture will keep the magnesia better sus-
pended, but this may prefectly well
be omitted. The bottle should be
shaken before the dose is poured out.
I'd. Take an ounce of quassia chips
and pour over them as much cold water
as will fill three quart bottles. Let them
stand an hour and then strain. Add to
the strained liquid six and half fluid
drachms of the solution of iron, sold
under the name of "Liquor Ferri Perch
loridi." Two tablespoonfuls or half
wine-glassful to be taken three or four
times day. The iron solution may be
measured out with teaspoon, one tea
spoonful being equal to one fluid
drachm; but teaspoons vary in size, and
it is therefore better to use a glass
measure, which may be bought at any
chemists. No doubt there are many
cases In which chalybeate is indicated,
but it may be questioned whether it
would not be wiser of those who wish
to try the plan to ask medical man
| first. The value of such advise is indi-
Gated by the following remarks APP
pended by DIR. BruntOn to the recipes
we have quoted.
"When the persons tongue is pale,
| fiabby, and marked with the teeth at
the edges, the second prescription may
be found more useful than the first.
When there is any tendency to fatu-
lence the first should be taken quarter
of an hour before meals and if either
OF them causes uneasiness when taken
on an empty stomach, they should be
used Immediately after meals. In the
presence of robust habit or horid CON-
plexion, the following prescription may
be found more serviceable than either of
the preceding. Add one ounce of
bruised gentian root to one quart of
boiling water. Let this stand four
hours then strain off the liquor, and
add two drachms of carbonate of am
monia. A wine-glassful may be taken
two or three times a day when craving
comes on. 1t may be used by all who
are addicted to the use of intoxicating
drinks.

RAPID GROWTH OF THE ORDER.

RAPID GROWTH OF THE ORDER.
Extract from the Address Of State Master Hudson
The growth of our order since our
last meeting has been very rapid and
the information from all sections of our
State excites the admiration and wonder
of its most sahguine friends, while those
outside of the order have beheld our
growth with undisguised amazement.
Since our last meeting closing first of
August, during an interim of six
months there has been organized in our
State SIS subordinate oranges, with q
membership of Is, 500; and so far as we
are able to learn there is q rapid in
crease in the number or applications for
dispensatiOns. These results have been
achieved through the instrumentslity
of our deputies, and TO these faithful
men who have done their work SO nobly
and so effectively, we owe a lasting debt
Of gratitude.
WHAT THOSE ORANGES MEANS.
Mt. Zion Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry took charge of a member
sick of typhoid fever. He was poor and
uncomfortably housed. The Patrons
took charge of him, gave him comfort
able quarters, dressed him in new
clothes, and have been watching over
him ever since.-Spirit of Kansas.
THE STATE GRANGE.
This body, which was in session at
Topeka recently, was q remarkable body
of men. The number present was about
800, though under the plan of repre-
sentation adopted, there were but les
delegates voting. A large amount OF
business was transacted, and all har-
moniously and generally satisfactorily
done. The ability displayed by the
generality of the members, both as
pdblic speakers, debaters, and In execu.
cutive qualities, was above the average,
and illustrated the fact that the farmers
of Kansas are in no wise behind then
fellow-citizens of other vocations in
those respects.

FARMERS IN COUNCIL

fAhMEhS LIZ OOocOAh
Alargely-attended Agricultural Conven-
ton, under the auspices of the Northern
Wisconsin Agricultural and Mechanical
Association was recently held at Apple
ton. Papers were read on :" Manuring
Lands" by E. H. Benton, of Leroy,
Dodge county on " How to Elevate the
Farmers Calling" by w. j. Jennings,
Rosendale; on Grape Growing" by
Gen. N. T. Lund, of Madi-
son; Intelligence in Farming" by
President Smith of Green Bay
on "Cheese Dairying," by Hiram
Smith ON 1.-The Science of Farming,
by George E. Morrow, of Madison.
The most important paper was by Eli
Stilson, of Oshkosh. President of the
State Agricultural Society, on "The
Western Farmers Movement" of which
the following is an extract: "This
movement will work one immense bene-
fit In overcoming a great obstacle to
successful culture among the farmers,
viz: the isolation in which the farmers
live. Conventions, farmers clubs
and oranges break down the barriers
between the farmers, and unite them in
one common brotherhood.
1.-THE farmer should not ignore the
high duty he owes to his country by
absolving himself from the dutyof acting
independently at times of elections. The
farmers In the past have been bound too
closely by party ties, and to00ften roped
in by politicians to contend for some abb
stract principle to the neglect of crying
wrongs which stare them In the face.
Offices have been multiplied, salaries
and fees increased out of all proportion.
Speculation, bribery, corruption, and
defalcation have become rampant, and
we should fear that the Republic would
fall as Rome did, by internal rotten
ness, were it not that, IN some instances
at least, slim justice is melted out to Of
tenders. Tweed occupies felon's cell,
his colleagues are in prison or fed, and
an honest Judge occupies the sea. where
bribery and corruption held high carni-
val. Even Congress shows signs of re-
turning sanity by repeating some of its
obnoxious laws, and paying some respect
to people whose rights it has outraged.
Corruption in high places is no new
thing. Eighteen hundred years ago
the corruptions of the Jews had entered
into the Temple but there came One
with a scourge of small cords and drove
them out. So may this Farmers
Movement by the farmers votes assist
to make a scourge of small cords that
shall drive from the high places in the
Republic all tainted with the corruption
of Credit Mobilier, back-salary grab
bers, railroad land erabbers, and aiders
and abettors, and all others who have
beggared, robbed, and nearly bank,
rupted the nation and many of the
States. Let no person receive the
farmers vote who has the faint of cor
ruption on his garments. By so acting
we shall not only Tighten the burden
that is now weighing us down, but may
helpto transmit to our children the
blessing Of free country"

Resist resist the forging chain
That would your free-born limbs enclasp!
Drive from the heart the fearful pain,
The hardened steel, the cutting rasp
OF old Monopoly!
Resist the capital that bears
With leaden weight upon your breast,
That rows your children's minds with fares,
And fills their souls with deep unrest,
Through old Monopoly,
Resist extortion's pointed shaft,
The privateering railways lower,
That rakes the farmers fore and aft,
Selling their corn, and pork, and -four,
Through old Monopoly!
Down with the proud plow-making firms,
Reaping where they have never sown!
Down with their base, debating terms!
Resist till both are overthrow,
With old Monopoly
Resist the politicians power,
Who have for years the people sold
And usher in the welcome hour
When truth and right the sway shall hold
Or all Monopoly

Shall hail the brotherhood of man,

And gid the banner in the van,-
