Very Useful to Every One.

In no other way can a person get back so large a profit for a very little money, as to expcnd it it in learning what to do, when to do it, and how to do it--in other words, to have his brains help his hands. Here is one way to do this; The small saving or eN- tra production of less than half a cent a day, or 3 cents a week, will now procure a large, beauti- t'II, cheap Journal, for all of 1877, splendidly illustrated, with over 600 fine original engravings, and over thousand columns of the very best, plain, practical, trust worthy information about the every day indoor and outdoor work and comfort of every home, in the country, village, and city. This information is not prepared by mere scribblers, but by large force of intelligent working men and women, who know what they write about, and they are assisted by many others. who furnish in- formation from their own practice and observation. Such a Jour nal is the American Agricultur- alist, so named because started 30 years ago as rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and i'm
 proved to salt the daily wants of every man, woman, and child in city, country, and village for the farmer and gardener, the mer
 chant and mechanic, the profes- sional man-indeed, all classes. It is packed full of useful infor- nation that every one ought to have. Many single hints and suggestions will repay more than q whole years cost of the paper. It's original engraved plans for buildings and improvements, with details of cost, etc, and common sense directions, are worth Tar more than a majority of the cost ly works on architecture. Great care is exercised to have every lineln the paper reliable. Its constant, persistent, and full eX. posture of q multitude of humbu9s and swindles, are alone worth far more than It's cost, and have say ed to it's readers and to the coun try millions of dollars that would have gone into tue hands ot sharpers, The departments for Housekeepers and Children are very useful and entertaining. In short, the American Agrlculturist is full of good things, and ought to be in every house in the land. The circulation is so large that the publishers can supply fiat lit- tie above the cost of printing pa per--or $l.60 a year, sent post paid, or four copies, $5.40. Take our advice and send your sub. scription for 1877 (Vol. 36) to ORANGE JUDD COMPANY, 245 Broadway, New York. You will find it pay, and pay well.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the | edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shouldcr-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There generally considerable loss ofmemory, accompanied with a pain full sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem- edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
