Every country neighborhood has
woods which are full of ferns and brakes,
which usually die and so to seed with
out doing any good save as a gratitica-
ton to the sense of sight. The softer
parts, if stripped from the stems and dried
in the sun, retain their toughness and elas-
ticity for a long time, and are said TO De su'
perior to straw and husks, and even to sex
celsior, for stuffing mattresses. The ticks,
when filled, should be stitched firmly
with a mattress needle, dsing strong
linen twine, and making the intervals be
tween the stitches about an eighth OF

THERE is an amusing little trick which
is sometimes played upon unsuspecting
persons, and which illustrates the prop
erty of air. An empty soda-water bottle
is laid on its side, and piece of cork
about as large as pea placed within its
neck. Anyone is then challenged to
blow the cork into the bottle, This looks
so easy that a person who does not know
the trick advances and blows sharply
into the bottle. To his great surprise he
finds himself struck in the face with the
piece of cork, which he has blown out
of the bottle and not into il. The fact
is, the bottle, though it looks empty, is
really full of air; and just in proportion
as AIR Is blown into il the air that al
ready exists is blown out, carrying the
cork with IT, The only way TO get the
cork into the bottle is to coax it, so To
speak, by blowing very gently and stead
lily on one side, so that the air within the
bottle is allowed to escape gradually, and
the cork slowly rolls along the side of
the neck until it is fairly within the body
of the bottle.

Diffusible stimulants, provided they be
absolutely pure. are among the most useful
medicinal agents employed by physicians.
When the tone of the system is lowered by
the depressing influences of disease, or there
is an inherent want of vigor in the constitu-
ton, they serve to counterfeit weakenin G
tendencies, and cheer the mind of the de-
spending invalid. But when, as in the case
of Hostetter's Bitters, they possess tonic
and Alternative properties. their effects are
rendered permanent, ard they accomplish a
trebly beneficial result. The Bitters not
only relieve nervous debility and mental
depression by their BEAUTIFULLY stimulative
action, but infuse abiding vigor into the de-
pleted system, and rectify those internal
disturbances which are the real causes of
weakness. The purity and the wholesome
ness of the alcoholic basis of the Bitters
greatly increases the efficacy of their bottom
ic ingredients, fact which the complete
ness of their curative effects sufficiently de-
monstrates. Jan.-29.

The Last, The Greatest.

Should any ''doubting Thomas" still cling
to the absurd idea that there will be another
postponement of the last Library Gift Con-
cert. let him remember that Mr. Briggs, the
new manager, fully endorses the promise
of Gov. Bramlette, the former one, that if
the concert does not take place at the time
specified, the money will be refunded, at
once, to the ticket-holders. Let him further
observe that Mr.. Briggs has secured, of
course at an enormous expense, the SER
vices of Gilmore, the greatest leader in
America, with his orchestra of 100 select
performers, who will conclude the series of
concerts with such a burst of harmony as
has never before awakened our Western
homes. And, by the way, let him also re-
member that If he does not possess at least
coupon ticket, this music will never reach
his ears.

There is no disease so prevalent in Amer
lea as dyspepsia and certainly none which
has so generally baffled and defeated the
kill of the medical profession. The only
remedy for this distressing complaint is a
pnre medicated stimulant Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, whose essential principle
issound rye, is admitted by medical practi-
tioners to be the only Alternative, corrective
and restorative on which they can rely.
The Bitters are the best possible specific for
fatulency, dizziness, water THRASH, irregular
ity of the bowels, and all indications OF con-
frmed dyspepsia. They do not excite. but
soothe the irritated stomach and bowels, and
nay be taken by persons of the most deli
cate and sensitive organization, who are
mpleasantly affected by the use of the or
binary stimulants of commerce. Though
heir effect is most decisive, yet they are so
milo and beneficent in operation as to be
snitable to children as we'll as to adults.

An Offensive Disease in the Nose,

Which eats away the partition bone, destroys
the sense of smell, produces green or yellowish
scabs the shape of the nostril-sometimes fat,
often tainted with blood or matter, causes
weight and dull aching ever the eyes, head
ache, loss of memory, giddiness, etc. This dis
ease is often caused by neglected colds, by
Fever, Psorias, Syphilis and other contagious
diseases, and is itself contagious. 1t often
extends to the throat, producing Hoarseness,
Bronchitis and CONSUMPTION. 1t is a Ter
tiary form of Cancer DESTROYING the
NOSE and THROAT when too long neglected.
DIR. JONES is the ONLY Physical in the
United States who thoroughly understands
curing this dangerous and offensive disease.
He destroys the offensive smell in FIVE MIN
UTES, and relieves the sufferer in every way
AT ONCE, and CURES the disease in short
time. For this disease DR.. Jones has special
instruments with which to apply his specific
remedies to to the spot. Nasal Dorches and
Catarrh remedies generally drive this disease
to the lungs more quickly.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH
Prevalent IN America and Europe

prevalent II A1n6T1Cd duu GuIOPSs
/. OF THE HEAp.-Tingling, itching. with
sense of dryness and obstruction of the hose
sneeZing, running OF a watsry secretion, as IL
progresses the secretion becomes mucous, en-
tire obstruction of one or both nostrlls, hawk
ing, tickling of the throat, coughing, etc.
2. Catarrh OF the chest prevails as an epidemic
sometimes and is called influenza, with or
without fever, and many of the symptoms just
mentioned there is oppression across the
breast, rawness and burning of the throat, af-
terward copious secretion of mucous which
may become Opaque or frothy, difficulty Of
eathing, pain in the head and dull feelings,
sense of soreness, extending under the breast
bone to the stomach pit; the fits of coughing
may occasion vomiting, oppression, prostra-
ton; as the disease progresses the sputa be
comes ropy and viscid. This disease is called
the Grippe by some. Catarrhal Inflammation
of the eyes arises from colds, causes obstruc-
ton of the ear passages. watery eyes, fstula,
lachry, malls, dimnesS of vision, etc.
SUPPRESSED CATARRH may produce
Inflammation of the lungs, brain or eyes, or
give rise to rheumatism, nervous disorders,
weeping moaning, tremors and commissions,
drowsness, chllllness, starting twitching, pal
ptation ofthe heart, etc. When the frontal sim
uses above the eyes, posteria and anteria nasal
passages, become clogged up, and even the
trum or cavity of the cheek bone becomes filled,
or partly, it often produces pressure on the
nerves that supply these parts, and pains like
the most excrutiating neuralgia Is tho result.
The disease follows the mucous rAsrlbrane
through the euStachian tubes to all parts of
the same membrane of the ear, causing hyper
trophy of the drum, interferes with the func-
tons of the glands of Wharton, which secrete
the wax a dryness follows hardness of hear
ing, roaring, buzzing, singing, whistling,
| cracking the ringing of bells, and similar
noises, which vary, and which are simply eff
fects, and when the cause is removed the effects
cease; this hardness of hearing increases with
each cold.
Dr. Jones has made old standing diseases of
every name speciality all his life. He is
well prepared, and performs all the more diff.
cult and delicate operations in surgery, espe-
cially of the eye, ear and nose. He is a grad
uate Of the best medical colleges in Europe and
