The effect Of protecting squirrels en- the
Island is seen in the entire disappearance
OF all birds, while the trees are being de
stroyed by worms and caterpilIars The
woods, over there, were once musical with
the voice of many birds, and tn trees
looked healthy and inviting. The squirrels
have destroyed the nests of the birds, eat
en- their eggs and driven them all away.
An organized raid on the squirrels might
rid the Island Of them, and in time bring
back the birds. Birds fed on worms and
;aterpillars, and thus protect the trees
and make them musical with their songs.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which intlame the brain are, in any sense
of the word, remedies, has been overthrown
and can never be re-established. The won
derful effects which have attended the use
of DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs as
an antidote to the causes of disease and a
cure for every controllable ailment, have
demonstrated the utter falacy of the doc
trine that alcohol is tonic as well as a
stimulant The new and incompatible
vegetable remedy which has superseded
the death draught of rum bitters, is as free
from every Intoxicating element as the dew
of Heaven, yet see how it is invigorating
the nervous, relieving the bilious, curing
the dyspeptic, purifying the blood of the
scrotulous, strengthening the debilitated,
arresting premature decay, and replacing
despondeucy and weakness with cheerful
ness and activity. Truly a grand medical
revolution is in progress.
