Sample Bottles of BosoHEE's GERMAN SYRUP for
Coughs, Colds Consumption, and all diseases of the
Throat and Lungs. We now find other parties adj
vertising Sample Bottles in the same way. All we
have seen of these little Sample Bottles contain Ether
or Choroform, intended only to dry up cough for
day or two. BE areful to call for BOSCHEE'S
GERMAN SYRUP which contains no Ether, Chic

Consamptiyes, Take Notice.

Every moment Of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious choice
of remedy. The amount of testimony in favor Of
DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. as euro for con-
SUMPTION far exceeds all that can be brought to sup
port the pretensions of any other medicine. See DIR.
Sehenck's Almanac, containing the certificates OF
many persons of the highest respectabiity who have
been restored to health, after being pronounced D
durable by physicians of acknowledged ability
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show but the is often PrO-
NOTED bv the employment of two other remedies
which DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use Of these
medicines according to directions, Dr. Sehenck GER
titles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured
DIR. Sehenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston.
on the following Wednesdays, from . to O'Clock:
Jan. 18th and 27th Feb. 10th and oath, and March
10th and 9th. Consultation free; but for thorough
examination of the lungs with The Resprometor, the
price is So.

A medical correspondent of an
English journal says that the ad
vantages of asparagus are not suf-
ficiently appreciated. Those who
suffer with rheumatism are cured
in few days by feeding on this
delicious esculent; and more chron-
ic cases are much relieved, especi
ally if the patient avoids all acids,
whether in food or beverage
The Jerusalem artichoke has a
similar effect in relieving rheuma-
tisms. 1t may be well to remark
that most plants which grow nat
urally near the seacost contain
more or less iodine, and in all
rheumatic complaints iodine has
long been favorite remedy. One
who has been in the drug business
told the writer some years ago
that many Of the popular patent
nostrumS which some disinterested
people-"for TIE good of their fel
low creatures sold at two dol
lars a bottle, consisted simply of a
few cents worth of iodine in solu-
ton. Iodine is dangerous, how.
ever, in overdoses, affecting espe-
cially the eye.

Bone Gathering,
Kansas City journal.

During the winter and spring
hundreds of settlers all along this
valley have supported their fami-
lies by gathering up buffalo bones
and hauling them to the towns
The prairies for forty miles each
way from the railroad have been
cleaned over till not relic of the
chase can be found. Heads and
ribs are worth five dollars per ton.
These are sent TO Philadelphia
and ground up into fertilizers
Sims ard shoulder blades are
worth ten dollars a ton; these 60
to the sugar refneries. The horns
are worth thirty dollars; the tips
are sawed off here and sent to the
factories of umbrellas, fans, pipes,
&c; the remainder is used by TIE
chemists. Bits of hide found
hanging to the heads are taken
off and sent to the glue factories,
Every fragment of these animals
is made to serve purpose. The
trade has been oppOrtune for the
settlers, as it brought them tie
means of livelihood when the
crops failed; otherwise they would
have been compelled to abandO n
their homesteads.

SHORT Horn CATTLE,-In an
interview with Mr.. VIM. Curtis, Q
noted short horn breeder of Mich
igan, the inquiry was propounded
to him, why is it you prefer the
short horn, Mr.. Curtis, to any
other breed of cattle?
Well, sir, he said, | can very
soon answer that question. Be.
cause there is more profit in them;
there is more OF them, you can
get more out Of them. The calves
and the young stock bring more
money; they take on flesh faster.
The cows give rich milk and the
butter is rich. know this, for
have tried short horns for years.
They have no superior for beef -
They make good working oxen.
They combine more good quail.
ties than any other breed of cat
tie. They cannot be improved by
crossing with any other breed
