The New Panacea.

Modern science having demonstrated
that alcohol is "neither food nor
physic," but, on the contrary, species
of poison, the introduction of potent
tonic which is entirely free frem it is
certainly subject for congratulation.
DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR Buffers is a
medicine which may be fairly charac-
terized as an unobjectionable specific
for many distressing and dangerous
diseases. Temperance organizations,
heretofore in favor of permitting the
sale of alcohol for medical purposes,
are of opinion that VINEGAR BIrTERs
possesses all the efficacy as an invigor-
ant that has ever been even claimed for
spirituous stimulants, and on this ac-
count, as well as because of the singu-
lar success which has attended its use
in dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders
of the bowels, nervous diseases, general
debility, and all maladies growing out
of intemperance, they warmly recon-
mend it as restorative and Alternative
of surprising excellence.-Oons.

An English Tragedy.

The Journal of Commerce notes the
frequent reference to another tragedy
similar to the one at Mill River, and
gives some particulars of the dreadful
massacre which took place in the valley
of the Loxley river, England, on the
night of March II, 1864.
The Bradfeld reservoir was built to
supply water to Sheffield, eight miles
below. The plan was to dam up the
Loxley and other little streams between
two hills, and this was done by making
single embankment on the Sheffield
side. The embankment was made of
earth, l, 200 feet long, 800 feet wide at
base, 100 feet high, and IL feet across
on top, and had an inner puddle wall.
The engineer and others thought it was
large and strong enough to hold the
contents of the reservoir 1901, 00O,OOO
gallons) securely. The real reliance in
the Bradfeld reservoir was on the hug
mound of earth. The inner puddle
wall was mere crust, which at best
could only check the tendency of the
water to mine it's way through the vast
sandy pile.
The day before the destruction of the
reservoir had been stormy, and the
water nearly reached the top of the en-
bankment. A little crack on the out
side was the first warning of trouble,
and the contractor ordered the valves
OF the surplus pipe to be opened to re-
lieve the pressure. For several hours
the crack did not increase, and the
workmeI believed the danger past.
Still, as a measure of precaution, O
mounted messenger was sent down the
valley to warn people to take to the
high ground, and by this forethought
hundreds were saved who would other.
wise have persisted. About midnight
the embankment opened 80 feet, and
down came the imprisoned waters in @
resistless flood. A second rush OF water
widened the gap to ITO yards, and to 9
depth of 20 feet. This released the
whole contents of the reservoir in the
short space of AZ minutes, and it pour
ed down the valley at speed of Is
miles an hour. The Bradfeld inunda
ton was most destructive because il
took place in the dead middle of the
night, when whole families who hat
not heard the warning were asleep, ant
persons could not save themselves o.
their dear ones in the darkness. The
lost numbered $50, and the value of al
the property destroyed was not les,
than G2,000,000.

Condensed Statistics.

Fevers kill more children than
adults. OF those who die of constitu-
tional disease - consumption - the
greater portion are between thirty and
forty years Of age. Diseases of the
digestive organs kill very many chill
dren, and accidents cause the death of
a great many more males than females.
Smallpox takes off more children, and
apoplexy and paralysis more old per-
sons. More die of consumption at the
age of thirty than at any other time of
life. Fewer deaths occur in June than
in any other month, and the most in
April and August. More die of diseases
of the respiratory organs in the winter.
In the most illiterate portions of the
country-among the negroes of the
South-sixty per cent. of the irhabi-
tants cannot read or write. OF the
adult white male population in the
most illiterate portions of the country,
five per cent. cannot read or write. The
best educated portions of New England
are Mdlue, NOW Hampshire, FeruOnt,
and a narrow strip through Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. Two-thirds
of the Irish population are in the East
ern States, but the reverse is true of
the Germans. The Swedes and Nor.
wegians nearly all go West. They are
fine farmers. The Canadians in the
United States are to o great degree
found in the lumber, saw mill, and car
penter business, though many are to be
found in the shoe shops and factories
of Massachusetts. The taxation pro
capita is heaviest in the Eastern States,
because more costly improvements are
going on there, and in the most enter

inhabitants are endeavoring by various
improvements to make the country in

Liver and Blood Diseases.
BY R. Y. PIERCE, NJ. D.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount OF waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore, remains
to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every
part of the system. What must be the con-
dition of the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and a half pounds Of
poison? Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs-the kid
neys, lungs skin, etc, but these organs become
over axed in performing this labor in addition
to their natural functions, and cannot long
Withstand the pressure, but become yariously
diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical center
of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the I'M
healthy blood, which passes to it from the
heart and it fails to perform its Office health
fully. Hence tho symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment Of
memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper.
The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is
80 irritating and poisonous that it produces
discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches, and
other eruptions sores, boils, carbuncles and
scrufulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and
other organs cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and we have as the result,
costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea.
Other symptoms are common as bitter or bad
taste in the mouth, internal heat, palpitation,
teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking SEN
sation in the throat bloatirg of stomach, pain
in sides or about shoulders or back, GOODNESS OF
extremites, etc, etc Only q few of the above
symptoms are likely to be present in any case
at one time. The liver being the great depura-
ting or blood cleansing organ Of the system
set this great " housekeeper of our health " al
work, 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 my Golden
Medical Discovery with very small doses daily
of my Pleasant Purgative Pellets are pre-.
eminently the articles needed. They cure
every kind of humor from the worst scrofula tC
the common pimple blotch or eruption. Great
eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty
curative influence Virulent blood poisont

somewhat protracted use the most tainted
systems may be completely renovated anC
