We have here then, reasons en-
tirely independent of the digestl-
bility of food, why the nutritlve
elements should be present IN the
ration in fixed proportion (; this
proportion varies somewhat with
the period of fattening, but the
average quantities per l 1000 pounds
live weight per day may be stated
in round numbers, according to Il
present knowledge, at , to 3
pounds of digestible albuminoids,
II pounds of carbohydrates, and O.5
to OF pounds of fat ; giving nu-
tritive proportion varying from
l:5.5 to Loo.
Another important point is the
digestibility of the food, which
bears "a certain relation IN many
cases to the nutritive ratlo-espe-
cially is this the ase with hay and
other kinds of coarse fodder. |
have dwelt upon this point in former
articles and now only mention it to
keep such an important matter
fresh III our ulluuS.
USE OF SALT.
The supply of salt is IA matter
which assumes extreme importance
when animals are on young, luXuri-
ant pastures !; in such cases, the
chemical reaction between the pot
ash, which exists. in large quanti-
ties in this food, and the salt in the
body causes an eXcretiOn Of large
quantities of the latter. Now, a
certain amount Of salt in the body
is necessary not only for the proper
activity of the nutritive changes,
but also for the health of the indi-
vidual; and if the salt excreted is
not replaced, the deposit O. fat is
decreased, the animal becomes I'M
thrifty and finally sick. Too much
salt, however, causes thirst, and the
drinking of large quantities of
water is unfavorable, as l have
shown in a previous article ; while,
therefore, may claim that salt
should be given al Hbitum, it is
possible that animals may take
more than is profitable in this way.
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE.
1t has been shown hat 6Oe is the
most favorable for fattening, and
either a rise or fall has an unfavor.
able effect. The increase of tenn,
perature probably acts chiefly by
the greatly increased quantities Of
water that are taken and evaporated
from the body. AS the tempera
ture rises but about 40 degrees
above the most favorable point, ant
sinks twice that many below it, w

DIR. scHcNCK's PuLmoN1c SYRUP

SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-Ihese
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known TO
the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious to the human constitution. Oher
remedses advertised as cures for Consump; ion,
probably contain opium, which Is a somewhat dan
gsrous drug in all cases, and If taken freely by
consumptive patients, II must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make cure impOs-
sible Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle of opium; it is composed
OF powerful but harmless herbs, which act On the
lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus correct
all morbid secretioas, and elpel all the diseased
matter from the body These are the oily means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which op-
crate in this way, it is obvious that they are the
only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption,
Each bottle Of this invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions. DR.. SchenCk is profes-
sonally at his principal Office, corner Siqth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where
| all letters for advice must be addressed.

child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours pros
trated 1t to total helplessness. The limbs became
so rigid that not joint could be bent; the flesh
turned black and cold and entirely deprived of feel
ing the eyes fixed, partially closed and altogether
bling, following this was deafness to all sounds
when lying on its back the head and heels only
pearapce Of being dead. Immediately on the at
three weeks he laoored to restore 1t TO feeling but
all in vain, although it blistered dozen times
and various rubefacient Liniments applied. A con-
pose, the case then brought before the Medical
