MEDICAL
CATARRH.
TWELVE YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

GENTLEMEN:-About twelve years ago, while
travelling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert
Troupe as a tenor singer, took severe cold and
was laid up at Newark. N. j. This cold brought
on q severe attack of Catarrh, which batted with
every known remedy for four weeks without avail
and was finally obliged TO give up most desirable
position and return home unable to sing note.
For three years afterwards was unable to sing at
all. The fret attack of CatarTh had feSt my nasal
organs and throat sensitive that the slightest
cold would bring on a fresh attack, leaving me
prostrated. In this way continued to suffer. The
last attack the severest ever had, was terrible.
suffered the most excruciating pain in my head.
was 40 hoarse as TO be scarcely able to speak, and
coughing necessarily. l thought was going into
quick consumption, End firmly believe that had
these symptoms continued without relief they
would have rendered me easy victim. When in
this distressing condition, commenced the use OF
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE PoR CATARRH, very re-
luctantlyI confess had tried all the advertised
remedies without benefit. The first dose of this
wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. II
Is hardly possible for one whose head aches, eyes
ache who can scarcely articuate distinctly on ac-
count of the choking accumulatiOns in his throat
TO realize how much relief obtained from the first
application of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE. Under
lie influence both internal and external rapid
recovered, and by an occasional of the remedy
since have been entirely free from Cstarrh, for the
first time in twelve years.

OUR BABY.


There's not blossom of beautiful May,
Silver OF daisy, or daGodil gay,
nor the rosy blush of apple tree flowers,

fon could never find on a bright June day
Alst of far sky so CHEEKY and gay;
yGfthe haze on the hills in the MONDAY hours

There's not a n.urmur of Weakening bird,
fl,e clearest sweetest, that ever WAS heard
In the tender hush of the dawn's still hours,
Soft ~ the laugh of this baby of ours.
There's no gossamcr silk of tasseled corn,
No nimiest thread of the shy wood fern,
Not even the cobwebs spun Ger the flowers,
Fine as the hair of this baby of ours.
There's no fairy shell in the sounding sea,
No wild rose that mods on the windy lea,
No blush OF the sun through ApriPs soft show

Pink rs the palms of this baby of ours.
May the dear Lord spare her 10 US, we pray,
Yor many a long and sunshiny day,

A Mistaken Diagnosis.

One of our city physicians the other
day engaged to teach a young college
graduate the practical art of healing the
sick. He was called to a German who
was down with the delirium tremens,
and asked him his age and his business.
He was musician, and 40 years old.
The learned doctor then told the student
that all brass instruments were so severe
a tax upon the players larynx that the
throat frequently needed little wetting
in the form of beer or brandy. A sad
result of this fact was the patient before
him. The latter asked what instru-
ment he played. 81 plays zecond viddle

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
About ScarecrOwS.

Now that the painting season is at
hand we have no doubt but that many
a farmer will ruInmage through his
garrett to find cast-off garments,
which. stuffed with straw, are to he
80, up in the corn field to warn off
the u,arauding crows. We have never
had much faith in this article. Crows
are possessed Of much more wisdom
than is generally credited to them,
and. while an immovable bundle of
rags uay drive tnem away fer short
tine, we believ' that eventually they
discover the bumbug, as we have
seen the birds complacently picking
up young corn almost within the
shadow of as elaborate a stuffed scare
COW as ever was erected. We, how
ever, have beard suggested couple
of plans which are calculated to in.
timidate even the boldest of these
birds, and. a. they are easily carried
out, perhaps our farmer readers may
make use of them. rhe first and best
is suspended looking glass. Take
two small, cheap mirrors, fasten them
back TO back. attach a curd TO one
angle. and hang them to an elastic
pole When the glass swings in the
wind the suns RAYS are reflected all
over the field even if it be a large one,

one Of its 'i.JIling hasLes fall on

terror to crows, is especially well
suited to fields subjected to the in.
roads of small birds, AID even chick
ems. 1t involves an artificial hawk
made from o big potato. and long
goose and turkey feathers The
maker can exercise bis Initiative skill
in sticking the feat hers into the potato
SO that they resemble the spread
wings aud tail of the hawk. 1t is
astonishing what a ferocious-looking
bird Of prey can be constructed from
the above simple material. 1t only
remains to hang the object from 9 tall
bent pole, and the wind will do the
rest. The bird will make swoops and
dashes in the most headlong and
threatening manner. Even the most
inquisi,ive of venerable hens have been
known to hurry rapidly from its
dangerous vicinity, while to small
birds it carries unmixed dismay.-
