often the only treatment of disease, it Is
not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites Of purgatiye
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
for itself more than ordinary consideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment Of dis
ease on the above-named rational princi-
pie. 1t IS q pleasant Cathartic, active

become Sick

w. 0oss0 0oOOo
Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
70 many diseases, there are four prominent
oeuses VI much Of human disease, and
these are: Impure air, which causes poi.
epning Of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
Sses; unhealthy water, which is great
Puce Of Typhoid and kindred fevers;
Improper food, which. is tho cause Of
SsOmachic and Intestinal arrangement;
and sudden changes Of climate and tenn
pefature, which induce congestive disor-
dcrs. Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the germs of disease and
death. Whenever the proportional prin-
ciples Of the Blood become disturbed from
any of the causes named, impoverishmcnt
or poisoning Of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnormally, Dyspcp-
sia and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends 10 ex-
cite the unusual action Of the Liver Is
certain to produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is torpitIle or sluggish
ness Of the bowels-C Constipation, with its
host Of attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
Il becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. BY ncglecting

food, or eating Wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking

SUGAR BETS.

Mess.s. Hevstt & Monk, Of White
River. have this season raised guam
tity of the White Silesian beets, such as
are grown in France 50 extensively for
the manufacture of sugar.
This saccharinaceous root has al in
teresting history. II has the same i'm
psrtancc in the agriculture of France
and Germany that the sugar-cane does
in that Of Louisiana. The greater part
Of the sugar now used in those countries
IL produced at nome from these roots,
and the capital invested in the manu-
facture is represented by millions of
dollars.
The history of the start of this man-
ufacture is somewhat singular. 1t was
one OF the iiess Nopoleonisnnes. In con-
sequence of the embargo of the French
ports by Great Britain during the war
between the two countries at the begin
ming OF the century. it became impossi-
bic for France to get her customary
supplies of sugar from the West Indies.
From which dilemma she was relieved
by stroke # Napoleon's genius. He
had experiments tried With the Silesisn
sweet beet for the manufacture Of su-
gar. sostsred the enterprise with govern
ment aid and maintained it by means
Of q prohibitory tariff on all other
kinds, until the industry became an as
sured success and q permanency.
The cost incident to works necessary
for the reduction Of the pulp and evap-
Grafton Of the syrup is very great. but
the experiment Of beet sugar msnufac-
ture has already been extensively tried
in California. there being now manutac-
tories in successful operation in Sacra-
mento and Alvsrado. Samples of the
sugar we have seen compare favorably
with the finest cane sugar.
We believe DO satisfactory tests have
yet been made of the beets raised here
rs to their sugar-yielding qualities.
They grow 70 IN enormous size, how
ever. and are unequsled for nutritious
moss and wholesomeness % stock food.
They are found to be superior for this
use to mangel wurzels and equaled only
by carrots. They are more profitable
- food for the production of butter
than for mere flow Of milk, on account
OF their richness.
For making sugar. it is necessary to
pull the beets before they are fully
grown. and in particular before the first
rains of the later summer, rs they then
take kind of second growth which
converts portion of their ssccharins
into fibre or something else. For stock
feed, though, We believe they will grow
nearly all the winter, but of course
would be more nutritious if gathered in
under shelter in seasonsble time.
