Which Shall L Talke4

This is often a serious question with the
Invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores Of which are
recommended as certain cures for his pecul-
lar ailmcnt. He reads the papers. circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by ole
are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another In his pcrplexity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes Id to
reject all. But it should be borne ir mind
that this condition of things Is one tl-:t can
not be rcmcdicd. In land where all are free,
the good-the truly valuablc-must come
into competition with the vile and worth
by the same fundamentally, which is adver-
tsi"g. In such case, perhaps the only alb
solutc proof that a remedy is what it claims
to be, is to try it. The "tcst of pudding
is the eating Of it." "Prove all things, hold
fast that which is good" is the apostolic in
prcsumptive evidence in favor of one RENE
dy than there is in favor of another, and
this should be allowed its due weight. A
due regard to this may save vast amount
of experimenting and useless outlay of
money. As presumptive evidence in favor
Proprietor desires to say, that they are
prepared by a new and scientific proc
ess by which the virtues of the crude plants
| and roots are extracted without the use
of a particle of alcohol. Not particle of
this destroyer of our race enters into the
composition of either his Golden Medical
Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This
consideration alone ought certainly to rank
them high above the vile compounds satu-
rated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour
beer, or vinegar, which are everywhere Of
fcrcd for sale. Again, they are of uniform
strength, and their virtues can never be i'm
paired by age. They are also made from
fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their APP
propriatc season, when they are flush with
medicinal properties. In support Of these
claims, the following testimony is offered:

Unbusiness.like Business Men.

Mr.. Daniel Drew's examination yester-
day before the Register in Bankruptcy
brought out curious state Of facts. 1t
seems that he kept no banking account,
drew no checks, never knew exactly how
much he was worth, and depended on his
own head entirely for information touch
ing accounts coming due and obligations
to be met In fact, all his business was
done in what would usually be considered
most unbusiness- like manner. A sud-
den accident to him would have left his
family and executors completely in the
dark as to his affairs, except his brokers
had voluntarily impaired some of the nec-
essary Information. There is an impI es-
sion abroad that in order to carry on
these speculative ventures q certain
amount Of education and the exercise of
methodical habits in the keeping of ac-
counts are indispensable but here we
find man, without education, trusting to
his head for all the details of his immense
business, and plodding on without any
accurate knowledge of his affairs. Though
he was engaged in kind of speculation
in which sharp wit rather than tender
conscience is required, he trusted
absolutely the statements of his
brokers. He depended on them for
treating him fairly, and never questioned
the accounts they rendered. And, strange
as it may seem to those who do not know
Wall street, it is not improbable that he
was we'll served by his brokers; for, how.
ever open to criticism Wall street is on
the score of its financial morality, the
word of q Wall street broker-the brief
rnemorandum on b piece Of .paper-is a
binding in the vastest transactions as are
the most elaborate legal documents in q
court of law. There is little doubt thai
were the business habits Of all our mill
ionaires known it would be found that the
methods of checking and book-keepinl
which are deemed SO essential in ordinary
banking and commercial institutions are
little regarded by those really great oper.
ators. In fact, correct business habits
would probably be 9 hindrance to. avery
great operator. A man cannot have. hi
cake and eat it, too; ard the forceex.
pended in keeping precise accountswould
tdiminish the power Of gconcentrating at
tention upon the larger operations in.

ventures.-N. Y. Graphic.

Alum will only purify water from or
ganic impurities, which it will precipitate
in the same manner as it precipitates dis
solved cOloring matter in the manufacture
of lakes from dye woods. One teaspoon
full of pulverized alum in four gallons of
water is sufficient. If the water contains
such an amount Of impurities that this
quantity will not purify it, it is unfit for

The Farmers Monthly says: "a
farmer states that he planted five rows of
corn with seed taken from three inches
below the top Of the ear, rejecting the
imperfect grains at the extreme point;
then five rows taken from the middle and
base of the ear, rejecting the imperfect
grains at the butt. The result was that
the five rows planted from the middle
and butt of the ear ripened about two and
half weeks before the other rows, the
corn of the former being better cared and
filled to the end of the cob"

DIR. SCHENCK's PU1MoNIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PlILs-1hese med
icines have undoubtedly performed mere cures Of
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the h7man constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, If taken freely
by consumptive patients, 1t must do great injury;
for its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, mist make cure
impossible. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain a particle Of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
tie diseased matter from the body. These are the
only mess by which Consumption can be cured.
and, as 5chenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way. it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump.

What Rats are Good For.

OF what use is the rat to man" Well,
not very much that We know Of yet o
few items may be mentioned. Prob
ably We must not attach mnch inn
portance to the alleged prophetic pow
ers OF the rat-that if he gnaw- a per-
sons clothes, that person will speedily
die; that if he suddenly quits the
house, the house will very shortly
burn down; that If he deserts ship,
the ship j. in sinking state. 4 mill
al Peebels was suddenly deserted by a
whole colony of rats about twenty
years ago; two hours afterward the
mill was burned down. But ii must
be confessed that the logic is very
weak which proves, from these facts.
the possession Of any prophetic power
by Mr.. Rat. We have evidence that
he has some times been made useful
a. an r. +. or r. 4. james, in hi. mil
itary dictionary, says: Rats are some
times used in military Operations,
particularly in enterprises for the pur-
pose Of setting fire to gunpowder. On
these occasions lighted match is tied

recommends, therefore, that the wall.
