A FREAK OF NATURE.-A few days ago
COW belonging to Mr.. Joseph II. Richard
son, of Rio Grande, gave birth to double
headed calf. The calf was fully developed,
and well formed, with the exception of the
fact of its having two heads. The head
had all the formations and appendages of
the heads of two distinct animals, but they
belonged to one neck, and one body, and
were connected with each other just at the
base Of the ears. The animal lived but a
short time.-,Stdr.

PIMPLEs, ERUPTIoNs, ROUGH SKIN.

The system being put under the influence
of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth,
clear, soft, and velvety, and being illumi-
mated with the glow of perfect health from
within, true beauty stands forth in all it's
glory The effects of all medicines which
operate upon the system through the me-
dunn of the blood are necessarily some
what slow, no matter how good the remedy
employed. While one to three bottles clear
the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions,
yellow spots, comedones, or ''grubs," a
dozen may possibly be required to cure
some cases where the system is rotten with
scrofulous or virulent blood poison. The
cure of all these diseases, however, from
the common pimple to the worst scrofula is,
with the use of this most potent agent, only
