CAUTION AGAINST BlITATIoSs.-The
proprietors of "Slmmons's Liver Reg
ulator of Medicine" find it necessary to
warn the public yainst bogus articles
that are offered under similar sounding
names, and articles called by CARRIED
part OF our trade name and publica-

Simmons's Liver Regulator has stimu-
ated unHrupulous individuals to issue
limitations and substitutes, which, be-
ing totally unlike the genuine in their
effect or composition, are calculated to
inJure the well-earned remedial repu-
tstion OF 6immsns's Liver Regulator, a
purely vegetable medicine, containing
no metallic poison, manufactured by q
chemical process, and by improved ap-
paratus, originated and only used by

Critical Time for Colts.

It very often happens that in
the third year of a colts life 1t
falls off in condition, stops grow
ing, and becomes mysteriously
poor and emaciated. At this pc
Rod of his existence an important
dental change is going on. The
central temporaral milk-nippers,
or cutting teeth in the front of its
mouth, are shed, and the perma-
nent teeth take their place. If the
colt is at grass it is almost impos-
sible for it to Craze, and it suffers
partial starvation. This is the
whole secret of many colts suf-
ferings. The trouble in such cases
would be avoided by occasionally
examining the mouth, and when
the temporary absence of the nip
pers is observed, to supply cut
feed of tender hay with ground
oats or soft mashes, or cut green
fodder. This provision would tide
over the necessarily occurring
period of disability, and prevent
the otherwise inevitable falling
away and poverty of condition,
with its disastrous results.

Fistula of the Withers.

The symptoms in the early stage
that is, before fstula is estab-
ished-are merely an enlargement
of the ends of the spinous pro-
cesses, accompanied by heat and
tenderness; but these GO on until
an abscess forms, which may be
known to the touch. As soon as
this is made out, an opening
should be made as low down as
possible on the right side, taking
care that it will allow all the mat
ter to run out as it forms. When
an actual fstula has been estab-
lished, and the matter points be-
fore or behind the shoulder blade,
a sufficiently large opening should
at once be made, avoiding any
pouch below that will permit any
accumulation. In very many cases
the establishment of this depend
ent opening will alone suffice to
effect q cure. In cases of long
standing, a stimulus must be ap-
piled to the interior of the fstula.
This may be effected by a seton
or by means of an injection COM
posed of chloride Of zinc, one
drachm, diluted with a pint of
water. This should be injected
into every part of the sinus two Or
three times q week.

The SUN will continue to be the siren

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sure Remedy for Eots.

The department of agriculture
publishes the following expert
ments which gentleman from
Georgia tried and found effective
in dispelling that serious trouble
in horses. About thirty years ago
a friend lost, by bots, very fine
horse. He took from the stomach
of the dead horse about gill of
bots, and brought them to my
Office to experiment upon. He
made preparations of every rem
edy he had heard of, and put some
of them into each. Most had no
effect, q few affected them slightly,
but sage tea more than anything
else that killed them in fifteen
hours. He concluded he would
kill them by putting them in nitric
acid, but it had no more effect on
them than water; the third day
they were as lively as when put in.
A bunch of tanzy was growing in
my Office. He took a handful OF
that, bruised it, added a little
water, squeezed out the juice, and
put some in; they were dead in one
minute. Since then 1 have given
it to every horse I have seen affect
ed with bots, and have never
known it to fail in giving entire
relief. My friend had another
horse affected with bots several
years later. He gave him the
tanzy in the morning, and dose
of salts in the evening; the nexi
morning he took up three hal
pints of bots from the excretions
