A CARD FROM
II. L. BRIGGS, ESQ

To ntg Friends and he Public
II afIords me great satisfaction to bo able to
testify TO the success OF DR.. s. W. Smyth IN the
treatment Of disease, and express my sense OF
obligation to him.
About six months ago under the advice Of my
family physician, placed my son Norman, aged
II years, under the care OF DR.. Smyth for a
throat and lung trouble, Previous to that tine
the symptoms had become very alarming, such
as loss of flesh, appetite. pains in the chest and
side, frequent and violent coughing spells, spit
ting blood and profuso expectoration Of yell
lowish matter and a general prostrAtion.
From the first week my son was under the
care OF DR.. Smyth he began to improve, aud IN
six weeks ho had gained az many pounds IN
flesh, increased in weight rs his health improved
and when few weeks ago DR., smyth dscharg-
ed him cured, he had gained seventeen pounds.
During tho past month Norman took severe
cold but suffered none from tho old com.
plant. and is now quito we'll again. / feel that
DR.. smyth, through his skillful treatment Of my
son, has effected permanent cure, and II il a
proof that pulmonary consumption can DO cured.
Thanking Dr.. Smyth most sincerely for his
kind attention TO my son, choorfuly recommend
him to the afflicted

hear or to hold conversation with her without
the aid Of an ear trumpet DR.. Smyth wac call
cd to examine the case although bat little hopo
WAS entertained that any successful treatment
could be instituted; however the result Of an
operation has proved quite the contrary, and
instead Of being an injudiCiOus movement, az
some physicians thought it would be, has been
completely successful Mrs. Dayton can nov
hear ordinary conversation with case, and can
even hear the ticking + watch, and 81 course
feels grateful to l'r, Smyth tor his kind alton

AN exchange says SIN these days
when diseases of the throat prevail, and
particularly dry hacking cough, which is
not only distressing to ourselves, but to
those with whom we are brought in BUSH
ness contact, those thus afflicted may be
benefited by trying the following remedy :
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times day,
morning, noon, and night; we dissolved a
large teaspoonful of common salt in a half
tumbler of cold water, and with this we
gargled the throat most eftectualIy, just
before meal time. The result has been
that during the winter we were not only
free from the usual coughs and colds to
which, as far as our memory extends, we
have always been subject, but the dry
hacking cough has entirely disappeared;
we attribute it entirely to the salt gargle,
and most cordially recommend it to those
of our readers who are subject to disease
of the throat"

RAISING CLOVER SEED.--IIaving had
some experience in clover raising, will
say for the benefit of any who may be in
terested in the subject, that believe it pre-
duces more milk than either timothy or
corn fodder, and at the same time find
that land improves by frequently being
seeded to clover. AS to whether plaster is
indispensable, have always used it, and
with varied results. The present season
had twenty acres of clover which had in
tended for seed, and to which 1 applied
about May 10th, 100 lbs of plaster to the
acre. On examining the heads this fall, |
found that very few of them had seed in
fact, do not think the twenty acres would
have produced five bushels, and l aban-
doned the idea of cutting it for seed, and
put a part in for feeding, and pastured the
remainder. On an adjoining farm saw
some clover well-filled with seed where no
plaster had been used. There are also
good farmers who will not use plaster, as
they believe it exhausts the soil; most,
however, including myself, believe in the
use of it, especially in growing clover
where it is not liable to lodge Cor. COM
