II. Il. STEVENS, Esq.,:
Dear Sir:-When about six months old was
vaccinuated. The parties who were vaccinated
from the same virus died from the humOr. The
humor spread over me to such an extent that
was rolled in bran to prevent me rom scratching
my person. Tie disease finally settled in my
head. remained il this condition ubou twenty
years troubled all the time with sores breaking
in my head aud discha?.;:ng cOrruptiOo nom my
ear AT mis- lime small Kernel appeared On my
neck, gradually increasing ii size until iumor
formed of such immense size cOulJ see 1t by
turning my ewes downward. All This lime was
taking various remedies fol my blood without any
substantial benefit. l then wenl 10 prominent
physician in Boston who, during his treatment OF
six months, lanced the tumOr eight times, which
cost me nearly 500. This left me with rough,
size of the tllmor, and in a sickly, feeble cOni-
ton. consulted another physician in NaticS,
who afier considerable zine, succeeded IN zeal
ing the sore without reducing the size. AT tbs
point commenced 10 use VEGETINE, through
the earnest persuasion of q friend. After had
taken this medicine about one week experienced
wonderful sensations. My whole body. seemed
to be undergoing rsdical change, until. finally,
the tumor broke and discharged friShtf1l quanti-
ties. From this time it decreased in size until
the bunch disappeared, but my neck still bears
the ugly scars of the sore and lance. am now
healthy and strong and able to work every day.
will also mention that have been an acute
sufferer from infiammatOry rheumatism ever
since can remember, until commencing the use
of VEGETINE, when almost immediately all
rheumatic pains ceased. This statement yOlun-
humanity, and you will confer q favor by giving
| it as much publicity as thought proper:
Very gratefully, y. N; SAyELS,

A Cure For Texas Cattle Fever.

We publish below the following letter
as will be seen, written by Capt. Hub
bard of Tennessee Prairie in reference to
the cattle disease known as the Texas
Fever" We have been assured by Capt.
Hubbard that the remedy is infallible,
and would recommend trial by parties
whose cattle may become. diseased:
BAXTER SpRISss, KAN, Sept 4 1873.
Il see from q dispatch in your paper Of
3 that Texas Fever is raging
in the vicinity of Bloomington, Ills.
Having had a case of Texas fever in my
stock last week, and having treated it
with entire success, I feel it to be my
duty to offer my treatment to any one
that may feel disposed to use it.
have treated two cases of Texes fever,
both successfully. and as follows:
use an injection of strong soap-suds !;
it will get up an active action on the
bowels in from two to five minutes, when
the fetid contents of the bowels will be-
gin to be thrown of. A syringe that
would hold q quart would suit me. ]
should continue the injections at inter
walls of two or three minutes, until one
to one and a half gallons of soap-suds are
given; in three or four hours give the
same treatment.
Ihave seen the same treatment giver
with success to horses that were suffering
with wind collie. This is the only treat
ment that know of that will relieve
Texas fever or dry murrain diseases, tina
are so similar in symptoms that have
not discovered any difference.

To Dry Pumpkin.

Take the ripe pumpkins, pare, cut
into small pieces. stew soft, mash, and
strain through culauder, as if for max
ing pies. Spread this pulp on plates, in
layers not quite an inch thick, dry it in
the stove oven, which should be kept at
50 low temperature as not to scorch it.
In about day it will become dry and
crisp. The sheets thus made can be
slowed in a dry place always ready for
use for pies or sauces. The quick drying
after cooking prevents any portion from
slightly souring, as it is nearly always
the case when the uncooked pieces are
dried; the flavor is much better preserv'
ed, and the after cooking is saved. To
use; soak pieces over night in q little
milk, and they will return to a nice pulp
as delicious as the fresh pumpkin.

Grapes and Mud a. Medical Agents.

At certain towns in Switzerland grapes
are grown solely as medicine, and the
vineyards are put to no other use. In
stead of drinking water, rs at other pia
ce,, the patient is sent out to eat grapes.
and must pick them himself from the
vines. Where the doctor ordinarially
instructs the patient to drink so many
glasses of water, he is here instructed to
eat Just 80 many punches of grapes. and
no more. 1t is assumed to be dangerous
to 90 beyond the doctors prescription a
siugle grape. As strange as it may ap-
pear, invalids experience the best OF
GOOD effects from the "rasin cure" or at
least think they do, and 60 away very
we'll satisfied.
Another popular treatment is found at
the mud baths of Schwalback and other
places, where the patients are immersed
in soft black mud up to their chins, and
remain in the bath for some hours. Most
of them have floating table before them
upon which they keep books, cigars, or
refreshments, according to the tastes OF
the patients. After remaining two or
three hours in the mud, one is washed
of with hose pipe and put into tepid
bath. The operation is continued the
next morning, and is repeated until the
patient is cured or tired.-Nep Yorl

If two persons are to occupy bed
room during the night, let them step
upon weighing scales as they retire, and
then again in the morning, and they viii
find their actual weight is at least a
pound less in the morning. frequently
the loss will be more, and the average
loss throughout the year will be all OF
that. That is, during the night there is
a loss of pound of matter, which has
gone of from their bodies, partly from
the lungs and partly through the pores
of the skin. The escaped material is car
bonic acid and refuse animal matter, or
poisonous exhalations. This is difused
through the air in part. and in part alb
sorbed in the bed clothes. If a single
ounce of wood or cotton be burned in a
room it will so completely saturate the
air with smoke that one can hardly
breathe, though there can only be one
ounce offoreign matter in the air. Ifan
ounce of cotton be burned every hall
hour during the night the air will bt

unless there be an open door or window
for its escape. Now the sixteen ounces
of smoke thus formed is far less poison

Eleve Making in California.

The manufacture Of gloves is being
introduced extensively into California.
Besides several large factories in San
Francisco, there is one in Napa, in which
an average of seventv-five deer and fifty
sheep skins are daily converted into
glove material. The process of tanning
employed there, says the Napa Register,
is a secret. 1t is essentially chemical
process, of which the public know moth
ing, except its beautiful results. Anar-
ticle of sheep glove leather is made there
of wonderful strength and exquisite fin
ish. It is really beautiful. It is made
of various styles and eolors to suit the
public taste. Deer skins are also finish
ed up in a variety of styles to suit the
market. The weekly product Of glove
leather averages 750 skins. The raw
material is purchased at all points in
the interior and along the coast from the
Columbia River to the Mexican bound
ary.-Amerioan Builder.

some POINTS IN BUTTER MAKING.-
It is time to skim when the fingers can
be drawn through the top without hav-
ing the cream close behind it. When
cream will do this it is about ripe enough
to churn. When cream foams in the
churn it may be cured by warming.
Cream should not be churned as soon as
taken from the milk. It should be stir
red and allowed to ripen all alike. This
will occur in twelve hours or so. But
cream should not stand until whey is
formed in the cream jar.

Cure For Drunkenness.

The following recipe is sent by q
subscriber with an earnest desire Tor Its
publication:
'sThis receipt is taken from eminent
and undisputed authority, and it is said
TO have cured, by the blessing Of God,
the talented father of one Of our noted
ministers of the gospel: Sulphate OF
iron grains; magnesia, 10 grains; pep
ermint water, IL drachms; spirits of nut
meg, 1 drachm. This amount taken
twice day, and continued regularly TOR
from five to nine months.
The above is the celebrated receipt OF
the father of Rev. Newman Hall, which
that xcellent man believed saved him

er-from confirmed habits of intemper-
ance.

Whisky and gamblers are to be fomnd
at our annual fairs because they lind
patronage and support there. When the
people fail to give them the hard earned
money, when these cheap frauds fail to
reap a rich harvest they disappear. The
prize package man will tempt weak hu-
man nature to invest twenty-five cents
to gain five dollars, and human nature,
true to history, ancient and modern,
gives its money hoping to get something
for nothing. The loud medicine man
gathers in his quarters for his worthless
stuff, and the whole family OF thimble'
riggers thrive upon the single foolish and
preposterous idea that they are giving
something for nothing. We have no bot
tied up indignation to offer against these
Inherent humbugs, for as long as there
are fools enough to patronize them the
supply will be adequate to the demand

having ordered that they should be re-

refused, insisting upon their right to
lodging and rations without work. 1t
finally became necessary to place them

them to solitary confinement in the dark

CARBoLIc ACID FOB POULTRY HOUSE!

CARBoLIC ACID FOB POULTRY HOUSES.
"A writer in the London Field strongly
recommends the use of carbolic acid for
destroying insects in pigeon and poultry
houses, asserting that it neither Injuries
the birds nor tends to drive them from
their nests. He uses it in the form of a
solution of two ounces of common car
bolic acid to three quarts Of water, ap'
plying this once week with watering
not, after the house has been carefully
swept out. Besides the lice and acarides
that it destroys, it is also very efficient
in driving out fleas. For the purpose Of
expelling lice from the bodies ofpigeons
the proposed method is said to be to mix
one part of Calvert's liquid carbolic acid
with thirty parts OF water, and shaking
well before use.

RICE CoFFEE.-This is a good food for
children who are suffering with summer
complaints, and is made by browning
the grains of rice like coffee, and after
terward boiling them. 1t is not unpal-
atable, very nourishing, and can be
made any strength that is required.
With the addition of sweet cream and
loaf sugar, a child of two or three years
will require no other food until the dis
ease is removed.

Pictures may be transferred to painted
surfaces in the following manner: Cover
the ground with an even coat OF light
colored carriage varnish, which should
be allowed to set (nearly as dry as if for
gildipg). If the print to be transferred
be colored soak in salt and water; if not
colored use water alone. Remove super
fluous water by pressing between blot
ting pads and then place the picture
face down upon the varnish. pressing
it smooth. When the varnish is dry
dampen the paper and rub it off with the
finger. The picture will be found upon
the varnish, and another coat of the lat
ter should be added to bring out the
effect. This process answers equally
