Make concentrated lye into good SOAP,
by the usual rule. Take one pail of the
soap to fifty hogs, put it in kettle, add
water and two pounds Of copperas. boil it,

sure that every hog drinks, aud if any will
not drink put 1t in the hospital, and if they
cannot be made to drink, knock them in
the head for they will give the cholera TO

sCHENcK's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and ffe-
quent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particu-
larly those suffering from the effects Of debilitata-
ting diseases. In order to keep natural hcalthfu
activity of the system must resort 70 artificial
means For this purpose Schencks Sea Weed Ton
ic is very efectuAl. few doses viii create ap-
petite and give fresh vigor to the cneryated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists he regular operations Of nature
and supplies her deficiencies, The tonic in Its ma
ture so much resembles the gastric juice thatN il
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which in healthy condition
OF the body causes the food to be dgested; ant
when this Juice is not excreted in sufficient quanti
ties, Indigestion, with ell its distressing symptoms
