"The Conflict of Ages. -


Men differ on nearly every issue. There have
always been opposite parties in politics and
religion, though the measures fought over one
day may be universally adopted at another,
and those sacrificed regarded as heroes and
martyrs. Medicine has also been subject to
revolutionary disturbances. When Drs. Harvey
and Jenner announced their discoveries they
were held in contempt and ridicule by an in
credulous and ignorant public, yet to-day they
are received and honored by all as benefactors.
When DIR. Pierce announced his Discovery,
many seemed to doubt, and were skeptical CON
corning all medicines and doctors, but proof OF
merit has dispelled all doubt and to-day the
Golden Medical Discovery is the standard
remedy in curing the most obstinate diseases
of the liver and blood, having almost entirely
superseded the old-time sarsaparillas by reason
of its superior merits.

Appearances.

When a man begins to go down hill,
he is apt to betray the fact by his exte-
rior appearance; he wears long face,
allows his clothes to look shabby, and
acts like one bereft of hope or prospects.
Now this is very poor policy; the sym
pathy and assistance of friends is not
gained by wearing dirty shirt; and I'M
less man acts as though he had conf
dence in himself, he must not expect to
inspire it in others. And SO with the
external appearance of everything. Neat
ness of appearance does not end with a
mans credit, but often enhances the
value of articles which he may have fer
sale. This is especially true upon the
farm, and we will venture to say that a
farmer who attends to the exterior of
things in general, such as clean stables
and animals, clean yards and buildings,
and fences in good repair, will obtain
five to ten per cent. more for the pro-
ducts of his farm than one who neglects
such simple matters. If any one doubts
the effect of external appearance upon
values in market or elsewhere, let him
try sending butter to market in an old
weather-beaten firkin, no matter how
good the butter or clean the vessel may
be inside. If this does not satisfy, try
some stained and dirty eggs, or half
plucked poultry. Producing a good ar
ticle is one thing, but selling it to advan-
tage is quite another, and the good sales
man generally makes the most money of
the two. The importance of fair exte-
rior can hardly be overestimated. This
principle is potent in any branch of
trade, and in every grade of society;
therefore, it is too important to be over
looked or passed unheeded.

SUNSTROKE.
Prevention and Treatment OF this Summer
xvii.

Prevention and Treatment OF this Summer
xvii.
The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing timely remarks in regard to the
prevention and treatment of sunstroke,
taken from a report of the New York
Board of Health
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is "mug-
gy." 1t is more apt to occur on the sec
ond, third, or fourth day of a heated
term than on the first. Loss of sleep,
worry, excitement close sleeping rooms,
debility, abuse of stimulants, predispose
to it. 1t is more apt to attack those
working in the sun, and especially be-
tween the hours of eleven o'clock in
the forenoon and four o'clock in the af-
ternoon. On hot days wear thin cloth
ing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as
possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all I'M
necessary fatigue. If working indoors,
and where there is artificial heat-laun-
dries, etc.-see that the room is well
ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear light
hat (not black, as it absorbs the heat),
head n wet cloth on a large green leaf !;
lift the hat from the head and
see that the cloth is wet. Do not check
perspiration, but drink what water you
need to keep it up, as perspiration pre-
vents the body from being overheated.
Have, whenever possible, an additional
shade, as q thin umbrella, when walking,
q canvas or board-cover when working
in the sun. When much fatigued do
not go to work, especially after eleven
o'clock in the morning on very hot days
if the work is in the sun. If feeling of
fatigue, dizziness, headache, or exhaus-
ton occurs, cease work Immediately, lie
down in a shady and cool place apply
cool cloths to and pour cold water over
the head and neck. If any one is over
come by the heat send Immediately for
the nearest good physician. While
waiting for the physician give the per-
son cool drinks of water or cold black
tea, or cold coffee, if able to swallow. If
the skin is hot and dry, sponge with, or
pour cold water over the body and limbs,
and apply to the head pounded ice wrap
ped in towel or other cloth. If there
is no ice at hand keep a cold cloth on the
head, and pour cold water on it as on the
body. If the person is pale, very faint
and pulse feeble, let him inhale ammo
mia for few seconds, or give him tea
spoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia
in two tablespoonfuls of water and lit
tie sugar,

Quick Time ArOun d the World.

The Omaha (Neb.) Republican prints
letter from DIR. f. S. De Hass, Ameri-
can consul at Jerusalem, in which he
gives an account of tour he has lately
made around the world in sixty-eight
days of actual travelling time. The let
ter is dated at Jerusalem, May 10,
1877. The outline of the journey we
quote, greatly condensed, in the follow
ing:
-" Having safely returned to my post, I
take pleasure in furnishing your readers,
agreeably to promise, with brief notice
of my quick and successful tour around
the world. Not counting the time 1 lay
over at different points, as these breaks
in the journey could all have been
avoided, made the entire circuit of the
globe in exactly sixty-eight days, and
but for heavy weather on the Pacific
would have made it in sixty-two days.
The journey from Alexandria, Egypt, via
Brindisi and Paris to London, and from
thence to New York and San Francisco,
was accomplished in twenty days, and we
were ust the same number of days going
from San Francisco to Yokohama, Japan.
Crossing over from here to Canton, in
China, took six days. A sail of ten days
over the China sea and through the
strait of Malacca, touching at several
points we have not time to notice,
brought us to Ceylon, off the southern
coast Of Hindustan, and one of the rich
est of the East India islands. Thence
we sailed directly to Suez, in Egypt,
which took twelve days, and from thence,
in few hours, by rail to Alexandria,
our starting point, making the entire
distance of $4,000 miles-16, 900 miles
by water and 5000 on land-in sixty
eight days, without any accident or de-
tention Of any kind"

One Woman Not Afraid of n RAT.

There is widespread belief, amount
ing almost to a certainty, th"t when a
woman sees a mouse she will utter q
piercing shrek and either faint or mount
the nearest chair. A woman in Sacra-
mento, CAL, is endeavoring to lead pub
lie opinion in an opposite direction. She
sweeps out the Mechanics Exchange
Hotel. She saw a rat. She saw him,
went him one better, and sailed after
the rodent in real earnest. Out the door
he went, with the broom-stick tapping
the pavement close behind him. Reach
ing the street, he lodged into hole I'M
der the sidewalk on the other side of the
alley, and lookers-on thought the sport
was ended. Not SO, however the
plucky woman ran her bare arm into the
hole and drew the rat forth in triumph,
and dashed him forcibly to the ground
before he had chance to turn and bite.
Here she deliberately dispatched him
with the broom-stick.

That should be attacked the instant he shows

are grown, and wipe him out. The great al
teratiye and invigorant of the age, Hostetter's

healthful tone into your organism that it will

The Bitters prevent and remedy chills and fever

constipation, liver complaint rheumatic all
ments, urinary and uterine difficulties. 1t is
particularly beneficial when the system has been
drained of its vitality, or is inherently deficient
in strength. The nerves gather from it both
vigor and tranquility. But while it imparts
strength and gives wholesome stimulus to
the animal economy, it does not unduly excite
it like the cheap exhilarants sometimes resorted
to under the erroneous impression that they
caa invigorate.
