wise all who are troubled with the complaints now

to take, without delay, Shenck's Mandrake Pills.
We know Of no remedy so harmless and decisive

People never need suffer from any disease arising
from disordered condition of the liver they would
take this excellent medicine when they feel the

will effectually prevent bilious attack. They art

terrible disease, which IN less than six hours
prostrated II to utter helplessness. The limbs be-

imagine parents JOY, when, after few applica-

rapidly recovered with the exception of the sight,

THE SAGACITY OF ANTS. Prof. Leidy.
in recent article, states that. in order to
ascertain whether house he had Just en-
tered was Gas he suspected) seriously in
tested with red ants, he placed piece of
sweet cake in every room. At noon every
piece was found covered with ants. A
cup of turpentine oil being provided. each
piece was picked up with iorceps. aud The
ants tapped into the oil. The cake was
replaced. and in the evening Was again
found covered with ants. The same pro-
cess was gone through the following Two
days, morning, noon and night. The third
day the number OF ants had greatly di-
minished. and on the fourth there were
all been destroyed, but in the attic he OBJ
served few feasting on some dead house
flies. which led him to suspect that the re-
naming ants had become suspicious OF
the sweet cake. He accordingly distrib-
uted through the house pieces Of bacon,
which were afterwards found swaTming
with ants. This was repeated with the
same result for sevel al days. when in like
manner with the cake, the ants ceased to
visit the bacon. Pieces OF cheese were
next tried with the same result. but with
an undoubted thinning in the number OF
ants When the cheese proved no longer
attractive, dead grasshoppers were sup
piled from the garden. These again
proved too much Tor the ants, but after a
few days trial neither grasshoppers nor
anything else attracted them; nor has the
house been infested with them since.
