hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise

PAIN IN THE BACK.

There is no remedy known to medical science
which has proved itself more valuable in cases of
Kidney Complaints than the Vegetne. 1t acts di
rectly upon the secretions cleanses and purifles
the blood and restores the whole sy stem TO healthy
action.
The following extraordinary cure of great suffer

as hopeless cases. will speak for themselves, and

kidnev Complaint.

Probably there is complaint that afiicts the
human system which is SO little understood at the
present time some of the varied forms of Kid
ney Complaints
There is no disease which causes such acute pain
or more alarming in its results than when the kid
neys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid,
and other poisonous substances, which the blood
accumulates in its circulation through the system
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devolving upon them, the cuInulations
are taken up by the absorbeEts and the whole sys-
TEN thrown into state of disease, causing great
pain and suffering, and very often imme late death.
Hence the importance of keeping the kidneys and
blood in healthy condition, through which all the
impurities OF the body must pass.

How to Keep Eggs.

The following is an extract from an
article on the subject published editori-
ally in the London England Farmer:
For storing eggs very good plan is to
have large board pierced with holes in
regular rows. Many breeders keep
them in bran, and the latter method is,
perhaps, best for those meant only to be
eaten; but for setting hens the pierced
board has many conveniences. They
should always be kept with the large end
downward, this direction being opposite
to that usually given. We should state
our attention was first called specially to
the subject by most intelligent lady
who advocated the plan. Keeping eggs
on the small end appears to me to cause
the air bubble to spread, detaching it
from the shell, or rather from its mem
branous lining: after being kept SO for a
fortnight, the air bubble will be found
to be much spread, and the eggs will
have lost much vitality, though still very
good eating.
She then described her success the
other way, adding: "Owing to this
method of storing, such thing as a
stale egg has never been known in nv
house; and as regards success in hatch
ing, for several seasons, when I have
been able to attend to my poultry my
self, Of many eggs set every egg pro
duced chick"

Don't Hack, Hack, Cough, Cough 4!

Cough is a symptom by which various dis
eased conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs manifest themselves. But whether
it arises from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from an at
tack of bronchitis, from incipient consumption,
or from various other causes, nothing will allay
it more speedily or cure it more permanently
than DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
1t does not matter whether it be recent at
tack, or q lingering cough, the Discovery is in
either case equally well adapted for its relief
and permanent cure. In fact, it will cure a
cough in one-half the time necessary to cure it
with any other medicine, and it does it, not by
drying it up, but by removing the cause sub
DUNG the irritation, and healing the affected
parts. No time should be lost in commencing
the use of proper medicine for the relief of a
cough, for unless this course is pursued,
serious and dangerous disease of the lungs is
liable to result. Golden Medical Discovery is
sold by all dealers in medicines. Com.

PhOtOgraphing.

Photographers in France are still try
ing to take photographs in natural
colors. The process they employ is as
follows: Three negatives are taken in
the camera-the first through red, the
second through orange red, the third
through violet glass. From these three
carbon prints are made. Under the
first negative the photographer exposes
q film of bichromatized gelatin, having
a red tint; under the second similar
film of blue color, and under the third 0
yellow film. The three impressions
terminated, he superposes these three
monochromes, and obtains an image il
which all the different tints of the origina
are found. ~

She Would Steal,

A dismal scandal has recently shocked
the American colony in Paris, it being
the arrest of wealthy American lady
of respectable standing at the Bon
Marche for stealing. The case appears
to have been one of bona .fde robbery,
and not, as on former occasion and in
another establishment, an unfounded
and slanderous charge, for the erring
dame on being searched was found to
have filled her pockets with articles for
which she was unable to account AS
the smallest trife purchased at the Bon
Marche has to be paid for at one of the
desks, where the purchase is doubly en-
tered, first by the salesman, who files a
bill for it, and, secondly, by the cashier,
who receives the payment, makes out the
change, and enters full, detailed record
of the transaction in his book, mistake
in regard to the ownership of the articles
is hardly possible. The unfortunate
woman was in prison for over a week
before her release ON bail could be eff
fected.

Bleed in the neck vein, taking about
three pints of blood; then take and thor
oughly mix together one tablespoonful
of gunpowder, one of lard, one of soft
soap, two of tar, and one of pulverized
gum myrrh. Put spoonful of this
down the horses throat as far as you can
with paddle or spoon. Do this twice
n day. AT the same time make strong
decoction of tobacco, as hot as the horse
can bear it; with which wash his neck
two or three times a day. In connection
with the above, give the animal as much
sulphur and rosin as he could be induced
to eat-a quarter of a pound each day at
least--proportion, two parts sulphur,
one part rosin. Food lighty such as

Nil Desperanilum.

A real healthy man or woman is a
rarity; and what wonder2 when we re-
alize that it is the custom to overload the
stomach, and then produce chronic dis
ease by the use of spirituous liquors,
"tonics," "appetizers, y "restoratives,"
etc. Having first produced disease by
indiscretion, the victim wonders why
"nothing does. him good" Just So;
and the reason is that they all, or nearly
all, find basis in alcohol-or poison.
To all thus discouraged, we can conscien-
tiously say, "make one more trial. "
Discard spirituous medicines, and give
nature chance, aiding her in the strug-
gle by using one of her own pure and I'M
adulterated herb remedies, in the shape
of Vinegar Bitters. The discoverer,
DR.. j. Walker, of California, is no pre-
tender, but an honorable practicing
physician, and his discovery is the result
of years of labor and study. The Won
derful cures effected by them of dyspep-
STA, fevers, rheumatism, and many other
terrible diseases are almost Incredible. :

completed and now occupy their new
factories in Cambridgeport, Mass, in
which they have introduced machinery
to an extent never before employed in
the manufacture of organs. BY the aid

Twice as many organs can produced,
in proportion to the number of men en-

The simplest, and perhaps best, paint
to prevent buried wood from decaying is
made of boiled linseed oil, into which
charcoal is stirred until the whole is of
proper consistence. Apply with an Or
binary paint brush.
To clean watch, even if it be of the
lowest grade, the barrel or handspring
box should always be taken apart and
cleaned, fresh oil being applied before
the cover is replaced. Nsphtha is the
best stuff to clean with.
Do not allow grindstone to stand in
water when not in use. Clean off all
grease from tools before sharpening, as
grease or oil destroys the grit. When
you get stone that suits your purpose,
send a sample to the dealer to select by
half-ounce sample is enough, and can

An excellent, we'll recommended pickle
for curing hams is made of one and one
half pounds of salt, one-half pound Of

risen to the top and is skinned. Poul
