CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's Man
drake Pills, are the only medicines
that will cure Pulmonary Consump.

stop cough will occasion the death of
the patient; they lock up the liver,
stop the circulation of the blood, he
inorrhagc follows, end, il fact, they
clog the action Of the very organs that
caused the cough.
Liver Complaint aud Dyspepsia are
Of Consumption. Many persons COM
plain of dull pain in the side, consti-
patton. coated tongue. pain in the
shoulder. blade, feelings of drowsiness
and reHtlessness, the food lying heavily
on the stomach, nccr ~'panied with
acidity and belchin. - of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach
or torpid liver.
Persons so affected. if they take one
or two heavy colds, aud if The cough
i'll these cases DO suddenly checked,
will find the stomach aud liver clogged,
remaining torpid and inactive, and al
most before they are aware, the lungs
are mass Of sores and liberated, the
result Of which is death.
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup is an ex-
pectorant, which does not contain
opium or anything calculated to check
u cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic diseolvea

Too Much Cotton.

1t is stated in the October monthly
report of the Department OF Agricul-
ture, that it is estimated there are on
the Pacific coast in California over
~, 200, 600 acres Of land 81 ed to cott IN
culture, or double the area actually
employed in the cotton States OF the
Atlantic slope and the Mississippi val
ley. It is further said that this land,
under proper treatment. may be made
to produce from 10000. 900 to II, ,OOO,-
600 bales OF cotton per annum; repre-.
sentiDg cash value of about $780,.
600. 600. This statement is, perhaps,
highly colored. II admitted to be COR
rect, it proves too much. There is no
usefor the annual yield of 10000, 600
or II, 600, 900 bales Of cotton, in addi-
ton to the crop raised in the cotton
growing States. As it is, cotton is not
sold at a remunerating price whenever
the crop is large, say 100000 bales.
One cause now OF the depression in the
Staple is that goods manufactured from
cotton remain unsold, and that manu-
factories are in consequence running
only on half time. It is possible that
new markets may he found somewhere
where the surplus mny be worked of.
The lesson to us OF this state OF things,
and the prospective opening of more
lands for cotton culture, is to diversity
our crops, and seek to secure inde-
pendenco. by raising every home sup
ply that we need, and the soil will pro-
duce. The sceptre Of king cotton,
from one course or another, may
eventually be broken in our hand. We
had better, while it is time, look to
other sources OF power aud profit, and
above all things develop whatever ro-
sources we have.

MALARIA EvERYwHERE.-Rarel has
there been season as fruitful as this
OF mslarious diseases. Not only on
the prairies and in the valleys of the
West; not merely in all the old haunts
Of fever and ague and bilious remit.
tent fever have these prostrating dis
eases been unusually virulent; but
they have extended to towns and cities
never before infested with them, and
have even assembled the mountains and
attacked thousands Of people supposed
to have been placed by the laws Of ma
tnre above their reach. Hence we are
compelled to admit that a fatal ele-
ment pervsdes the universa! cir this
season, and should at once resort to
the only approved preventive of it's
consequences, Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters, tonic so potent, m antiseptio
so perfect. ca Alternative so Irresistible,
the human system to resist and battle
all tho predisposing causes of disease.
With the confidence that one clothed
i'll incombustibie garments might move
among blazing buildings, the man
who arms himself against malaria with
this powerful defensive medicine may
walk ver.scourged district fearless
of its insalubrious atmosphere. The
intermittents and remittents, at pre-
sent 30 general in all parts of the
country. may be but the fore-runners
of deadlier scourge. Prepare the
system with Hostetters Bitters for
successful battle with the mephitic
causes of all epidenlics. Be wise in
time. All the disorders common to
the season may be held in allegiance by
this potent antidote: They may also
be elected from the system, after they
have made lodgment .here, by it's
perscvering use. It is, therefore, mo-
raj insanity for any family to be with
out it. Mill

Inhuenee OF forestry upon Rain Fall.
a very interesting question is that
OF the influence of forests upon rain
fall. The reckless way in which the
wooded growth OF the country has
been sacrificed has been matter OF
sincere regret 10 all who admire the
beautiful, who are concerned about
Influences which tend to promote
health and preserve eqnanimity OF cli-
mate. valuable,to TO the life of man, and
the steady growth of crops. Several
earnest addresses upon this subject
and many valuable essays have been
produced within few years. We
remember an address by our President
OF the State Auxiliary Society, Maj. Il.
W. Woodward. of Winnsboro, deliv-
cred in St. Louis, We believe, which
we regarded as valuable for it's facts
aud deductions. Our eye has, to-day,
chanced upon brief article descrip-
tive Of novel and decisive test OF the
effect of forest growth on tho quantity
OF rain which fs!! IN given time.
The observations we're made in the
forest domain Of HalIotte, in France,
anu neighboring cultivated section
Of country.
"Becgnerel declares that forests in.
crease the amount Of rain fall, while
Valiant insists that they diminish it,
and Mathieu concludes from his re-.
searches that the amount of rain water
received by forests is equal to or even
greater than that received by the open
country. Dausse states that ram is
formed when warm aud moist winds
encounter cold strata Of air; the air of
Forests being cooler and more humid
than that Of uncovered soil, a greater
quantity Of rain should fall in such
localities In order, if possible, to
settle the point thus disputed, the
autho ors have made observations: first.
above wooded section; and, second,
at the same elevation at distance
from this section 80 slight that the diff
ference observed can be due to the
influence Of the forest alone. In order
TO carry ont these observations they
plnced, at an elevation Of about six
meters above collection of oaks and
clms, which were of about twenty
years growth aud about eight or nine
meters high, plnviometer, psychro-
meter, an evaporo meter, and maxi
mum and minimum Thermometers, to
determine the quantity of rain fall, the
amount OF moisture in the air, and the
variations of temperature and ovapo-
ration. At a distance of 800 meters
from the forest. at the same eleva-
ton, the same instruments we're
placed under the same conditions over
m open country"
The quantity Of rain which fell in
six months OF the present year. name-
]y, from February l to August l, was
above the wooded section 1872. 50 milIi-
meters, and 800 meters away from the
wooded section was 1T millimeters,
or difference in favor OF the forest of
1850 millimsters. In tho degree of
saturation OF the air there was the ad.
vantage on the forest side Of the ex-
pertinent Of 13 centimes. A pre-
sumption was thus fairly raised that
forests do possess on advantage over
cleared and cultivated land in tho in
huenco exorted upon rain. Had the
experiment embraced the whole year,
with corresponding results for the
other six months. it wonld have bee.
conclusive. Tnere is not much doubt,

sharp correspondence which passed
