Let any one who has the care of a horse
these cold, frosty mornings, deliberately
grasp in his hand piece of iron; indeed,
let him touch ii to the tip of his tongue. and
then let him thrust the biz into the mouth
OF his horse il he has the heart TO do it. The
horse is an animal of nervous organization.
His MOUTHS formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the blood Is the
same as the human being and, as in man,
the mouth Is the warmest part of the body.
Imagine, We. repeat the irritation that
would be caused the human, and consider
that if not 70 the same degree, still the suf-
fering of the animal is very great And it
is not momentary pain. Food is eaten
with difficulty, and the irritation repeated
day after day causes loss OF appetite and loss
of strength. Many a horse has become
worthless from no other cause than this.

A writer who is familiar with its virtues
says: 81 have known many men, and women
too who. from various causes, had become so
much affected by nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands they shook
like aspen leaves on windy day. and by
moderate daily use of the blanched foot
stalks OF celery rs a salad they became as
strong and steady IN the limb as other peo-
pie. have known others nervous that
the least annoyance put them in state OF
agitation, and they were in constant per
plexity and fear. who were also specially
cured by moderate daily use of bianched
celery rs salad at meal time. have known
Others TO be cured OF palpitation of the heart
Everybody engaged in labor weakening to
the nerves should use celery daily in the
season, and onions instead when not in
season. We give it daily to our canary birds,
and il cures them of fits; they are little ami
mails of very delicate nerves easily fright
ened. and therefore they need such a remedy
very much, and the relish with which they
take il is proof that their instinct guides
them to eat what is good for them.
