HINTS ON WAsHINe.-The quickest
and best way to do washing for family
of six or eight persons: First, have
plenty of boiling water ; to every boiler
full add from two to three tablespoenfuls
of pulverized borax; use some of, the
borax water from the boiler tor every
tubful of clothes, adding only enough
water to make it comfortable for the
hands; use soap on the most soiled. and
rub on the board, or through washing
machine !; do not boil the clothes have
a tub partly full of boiling hot borax
water until you are ready to rinse them:
from quarter to half will do; rinse
in one clear water, without borax. Use
very little, if any, blueing. Borax will
not injure the texture of the finest linen,
and for infants clothes or flannels it is
the only thiag that can be used with
safety. If stocking or socks are badly
stained they might be boiled in borax
water for "a few minutes only-too much
boiling makes clothes yellow. Borax
acts slowly but surely. The improve
ment in clothes washed after this direc.
tion will be noticed after the second OF
third trial, often after the first. Add a
teaspoonful of borax to every quart Of
starch-it will keep the starch from
sticking, and adds to the polish"

When DR.. r. v. Pierce was candi-
date for State Senator. his political OPP
ponents published pretending analysis
of his popular medicines. hoping thereby
to prejudice the people agpinst him. His
election by an overwhelming majority
severely rebuked his traducers, who
sought to impeach his business integri-
ty. No notice would have been taken
of these campaign lies were it not that
some of his enemies (and every success
full business man has his full quota of
envious rivals) are republishing these
bogus analyses. Numerous and most
absurd formulas have been published,
purporting to come from high authority;
and it is significant fact that no two
have been at all Extraordinarily
proving the dishonesty of their authors.
The following is from the Buffalo Com
merciai, of Oct. 23d, 1877:
Hardly dozen years ago he (Dr.
PIERCE came here, young and un-
known man, almost friendless, with no
capital except his own manhood, which.
however, included plenty of brains and
pluck, indomltable perseverance, and
Unborn uprightness. Capital enough
for any young man, in this progressive
country, if only he has good health and
habits as well. He had all these great
natural advantages and one thing more
an excellent education. He had studied
medicine aud been regularly licensed to
practice as a physician. But he was
still student, fond of investigation and

ed, important remedial agencies or COM
pounds. Not choosing to wait YEARLY
for the sick and suffering to find out
without any body to tell them) that he
could do them good. be advertised his
medicines and invited the whole profess
ion, of every school, to examine and
pronounce judgment upon his formulas.
He advertised literally, profusely, but
with extraordinary shrewdness. and with
a method which is in itself lesson to
all who seek business by that perfectly
legitimate means. His success has been
something marvelous-so great indeed
that it must be due to intrinsic merit
in the articles he sells more even than
to his unparalleled skill in the use of
printers ink. The present writer once

universal demand for DR.. Pierce's med.

but present the medicine in better form
and cheaper than the same mixture
could possibly be obtained from any
other source. ltmay be thought that
all this having reference to DR.. Picrce's
private business has no point whatever
when considered in connection with the
proper qualifications of a candidate for
the Senate. Perhaps. But it is the
fashion now, and will be for a fortnight

sneering illusions to this very matter.
After that brief period. they will be

tired and hungry. His joint of meat
was before him. which would relish all
the better. he thought, with drink of
ale to wash it down

of the door, when Jed caught him by
the arm tussle followed, ending not
only in spilling the ale, but in breaking
the jug also, which fell on the floor and
cracked the bottom out.
Thomas caught it up and hurried
home with the story to his father.

man, after moments thinking. "Well'

NJ single disease has entailed more suffering or

The poison it di5tri utes throughout the system
attacks every vital force. and breaks up the most
robust of constitutions. Ignored because but little
understood by most hysicians, inpotenily assniled
by quacks and charlat .hs, those suffering from

method adopted by DIR. Sanford in the preparation
ofhls RADICAL CURE has won my hearty approval;

remedies fall because it strikes at the root Of the
disease. viz the acidffed blood. while It heals the
liberated membrane by direct application to the
