How THE OYSTER BUILDS HIS Housl

How THE OYSTER BUILDS HIS HOUSE,
poor weak thing is the body of an oyster,
apparently incapable of doing anything at
all. Yet what marvellous house he builds
around his delicate frame. When an oys-
ter is first born he is a very simple, deli
cate dot, as IL were, and yet he is born
with two shells upon him. For some un-
known reason he always fixes himself on
his round shell, never by his fiat shell, and
he only grows in summer.
Inspect an oyster closely and it will be
seen that it is marked with distinct lines.
AS the rings we observe in section OF
tree denote years of growth, so do the
markings on an oyster shell tell us how
the bottom of the sea. The way in which
an oyster grows his shell is pretty sight.
have watched 1t frequently. The beard
of an oyster is not only his breathing Or
gan, |. e., his lungs, but also his feeding
organ by which he conveys his food TO his
complicated mouth with its four lips.
When the warm, calm days of June come
the oyster opens his shell, and by means of
his beard begins building an additional
story TO his house. This he does by depos-
iting very, very fine particles of carbonate
of lime, till at last they form a substance as
thin as silver paper and exceedingly frag-
lie. Then he adds more and more, till at
last The new shell Is as hard as the old
shell.

We have known people to suffer year more from
a distressing cough, with all the symptoms Of con-
SUMPTION and yet be completely cured by few bot
ties Of the RADICAL CURE simply because the cough
was but symptom Of Catarrh, and could not be re-
leved until tho principal disease was removed. So
sensitive to Inflammation is the lining Of the
nasal passages and throat that by direct sympathy
cough, constant and distressing, may become prom
inent symptom of Catarrh Care, therefore, must be
exercised in determining the origin Of the trouble,
otherwise all the remedies used will be worthless and
the disease make rapid progress towards consumption.
great majority of the Of pulmonary consump-
tiOn may be traced to neglected Catarrh.

CATARRH.
Statement of o. ]. Goldrich, Esq, Editor
Rocky Mountain Herald, Denver,
Colorado, showing -the Preva-
lence of Catarrh and the
Popularity of Sanford's
Radical Cure for
Catarrh.

"Every nine ort of ten adults in this whole region
of country is afflicted with Catarrh. 1t seems to be
climaticaly epidemic out in this atmosphere. Mr..
Smith tells that the three dozen bottles Of Radical
Cure were Immediately sold, and that he had forty
orders for within the last three weeks but had
none here to supply from"
The Mr.. Smith referred to is of the firm Of Smith
Doll, furniture dealers, DenvcE when in Boston
about year ago he purchased eleven bottles Of -
Catarrh Remedy, and one Of siNFoRDs RADICAL
CURE, the latter at the earnest request Of personal
acquaintance. He had the FIRST named remedy
but had not heard Of the latter Shortly after his
rival in Denver we received order for dozen Of
the Radical Cure and another with the pleasing
intelligence that Mr.. Smith cured. The preva-
lence of the disease, coupled with the recommendA-
tions of Mr. Smith, created lively demand, and
without advertising nearly three hundred bottles
sent out. This is striking illustration Of what is
frequently done for this remedy return for relief
from long and painful suffering.

sidc; sometimes the pain Is felt under
the shou!der-blade, and itfrequently ex-
tends to the top OF the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costiye, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the bac!; part. There is
generally aConsiderablel loss ofnemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough Is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
priclly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he diStrusts

a Remedy that has made it's
Mark.

Success is the need of excellence. The
truth OF this has never been more forcitly
eSemplified than by the triumphant Ca
reer of H0stetter's Stomach Bitters. No
sooner did the people discover the GEM
inc merits of that supreme invigorant and
corrective than they FASTENED to stamp it
with the seal of popularity. The press
and medical profession speedily follow
ed in the wake of the public, and emphat-
ically endorsed it.. Thus from the very
outset the success Of the Bitters rs a
remedy and preventive was an established
fact, and degree Of popularity which it
often takes propri .tary medicines years
TO attain, was achieved almost 1T stride
by the tn en new preparation. Since that
time every successive year has witnessed
fresh accessiOns to the favor with which
the Bitters we're early regarded, and the
area of its popularity is no longer cOnfin-
ed to the United States, but includes the
British Provinces in North America and
the West Indies, South America, Mexico,
portions of Europe and Australia. That
it is not only remedy for dyspepsia,
constipation, biliOusness, urinary and
uterine complaints, nervousness and de-
bility, but also preventive of those NAL
aides to which air and water, impregnat-
ed with miasma, give birth, has been
nowhere so strongly evidence as in those
regions where climatic conditions unfav-
orable TO health exist, and where the
Bitters have been long and constantly
tested. To call this superb cordial a
remedy that has made its mark, cannot
we think be regarded as boasting, since
there is probably no proprietary remedy
more widely known, universally respect
ed and emphatically endorsed than these

OYSTER SUPPER.

Editor Rcgister-The members of
Forest Grange, No. 20, Z. OF H.. were
highly treated with an oyster supper,
yesterday evening. Dec 25:h, at our
new hall at Knotts Mill, by our Wor-
thy Master, w. J. Knott. The election
OF officers for the ensuing year, took
place in the afternoon, and then the
supper, which was success. The Ia
dies certainly done them up in Pala'able
style, as was proved by the appetites OF
us all at the table, and too much praise
cannot be attributed to our sisters for
:heir part, in perfecting the success OF
the supper If some of our outside
friends had been there they would not
have us exclude ladies from our order.
They are indispensable at our delibera-
tions; whilst at our feas:s they prepare
our eatables and cheer us by their pres
snce aud wit We want them, and will
not do without them, aud will use our
best endeavors to encourage them to
Join us, as their interests are in common
with ours. +. OF II.
