THAT MEDICINE.

We lately referred TO a communication from
agenteman at Rockville, Maryland, 10 which
mention was made of a remedy for hydropho-
bia which the writer declared had been used
with unfailing success in Hanover, Pa, and
10 Montgomery county, Nd. for the last forty
years. In abiding TO this statement we asked
what the remedy was, and in reply to this
question our correspondent has sent us another
letter stating that the medicine mentioned is
"Dr. Stoy's cure for the bite of a mad dog -
aud is prepared by DIR. Smith, of Hanover,
Pa. The writer says that since his recent let
ter to The Sun three persons 10 Montgomery
county have been bitten by dog unmstak-
ably mad, that they have sent for the above
medieiue, and there is no more fear en-.
'ertained of the development of the disease
than II they had never been bitten" lie re-
iierates his assertion that out of a great num-
Der OF eases no person in that vicinity has
ever gone mad who has used this medicine
Our correspondent remarks that the news
papers many years ago said that the State of
Pennsylvania gave DR.. Sioy $50 900 for the
recipe, which was published, and a copy of
which he now has in his possession.
Another correspondent, Baltimore physi-
clan, says that the remedy is the variety of
red chickweed, known among medical botan-
lists as arragallis arvensis, reference to which,
as counter poison or antidoie 10 poison Ia
very early times, will be found in the United
States Dspensaiory of Wood Bache and the
American Dispensaiory of DR.. King. The au-
ihoriiies also state that il has long been used

.sTAUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADvE
Going for the Doctor.

A jolly old German farmer rode to
town after physician for his wife, who
was very sick. He dismounted from his
horse in front of a.saloon just as the boys
Inside had begun to make merry over
the first key of buck. He approached
and looked cautiously around the screeni
The toamlng glasses were held high
above the heads Of the jewellers, as one
OF the number pronounced toast ap
propriate to the occasion. The silent
watcher licked his lips and wished his
errand to town had been one not requir
ing so much dispatch. He was turning
reluctantly away, when the crowd saw
him.
"Hollo!" they shouted, "there's Fritz.
Bring him in"
He was laid hold upon and hauled up
to the bar, all the willie protesting.
"Poys, I vos in a quick hurry. Old
woman sick like der tuyval. I YES
come NIT the doctor sooner as lightnin."
swell, you can take some buck while
you're here, and kill two birds with one
stone,n was the reply.
"Yaas, I kill Won chicken nit couple
@ stones, und der ole woman die mitout

Ell? a+a
sob, she won't die. Buck beer don't
come but once year, and you've got
the old woman all the time. Fill 'em
up again."
"Yaas, got her all der time, but ex-
posen she got dade, don't got her any
more sometimes. It's peter to get nit
der doctor seldom right away"
| But he didn't go. AS one glass after
another was forced upon him by the
reckless crew, tie object of his errand
was foated farther and farther from his
vision, until it was carried out of his
mind altogether, and his voice, untinged
with anxiety, joined in the drinking
songs, and rose above all others.
Thus he was found by his son late that
night. The boy grasped him by the
sleeve, and said:
"Fader, COON home"
Fritz turned, and at sight of the boy a
great fear arose in his mind, swept away
to sense Of the situation. In an awe.
struck tone he asked:
"Yawcub, how you vas come here ?
Vas Something's der matter?'
"Yaw," replied the boy.
"Vell, spoke up aboud it. Vos der

"Voa dot so! I expos it vos not so soon

Fritz came at last, and was in town
again after couple of days after some
medicine The boys couldn't get him
back again, though. He said to them
"You bate tend to my peesness now

THE YOUNG WIDOW.
BY coRroLANus cuMM1NeFoRD.

She is modest, she is bashful, -tsl
Free and easy, but not bold
Like an apple, rich and mellow,
Not too young, and not too old HslS
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy
There is mischief in her dimple,
, There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is scheoled in all her arts,
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile
Oh! maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while.
Youare sad. How very serious
Will her handsome face become
Are you angry? she is wretched;
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb
Are you mirthfuI? how her laughter,
Silver sounding will ring out
She can lure, and catch and play you
AS the angler does the trout
All old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown SO bold and wise
Ye Adonises of twenty,
With your love-look in your eyes.
You may practice all the lesson.
Taught by cupid since the fall,
But know little widow
+, Who could win and fool you all.

THE BIBLE EVER New However
interesting other books may be, read
them over half dozen times and you
may be quite satisfied you need not
read them any more. Next to the BIZ
BILE, the book that value most is John
Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress" and I
imagine that / may have read them
through perhaps a hundred times. 1t
is book of which I never seem to tire
But, then, the secret of that is, that
John Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress is
the Bible in another shape. It is taken
out of the same Well of the Gospel-it is
a book full of the same heavenly water
but even Of that wondrous allegory you
would tire at last. You would say,
"Well, now I know all this; / want
something more" But read the Bible,
and, strange to say, the more you read
it the more satisfied you will be with
it. Itexpands lit grows: it increases
in interest. Truly of this Book we may
say, "Theu hast the dsE of thy youth. :"

DEATH IN HIS FAyORITE ROBE,

The mortuary statistics of the whole
civilized world show that about one-fifth
ofall mankind die of consumption alone.
and the number ofdeaths due to consump-
ton bears greater ratio to the whole
number than that of any other three dis
eases together. Moreover, investigation
proves that this ratio is steadily increas-
ing. It's increasing prevalence has led
to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable. Every year hundreds of
these sufferers seek, in the sunny re-
treats of Florida or the dry atmosphere
of Colorado, for health-and find only
grave. The influence OF the atmosphere
the only remedial agent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the con
sulnptive-is at Best only 72aUiatiUe.-
The cure Of consumption depends upon
two essential conditions: LIST, the arrest
of the abnormal breaking down of the
tissues, which prevents emaciation, and
Cd, the restoration of healthy nutrition,
in order to stop the formation of tuber-
culeus matter. Fulfill these conditions
the required remedy must increase the
appetite, favor the assimilation of food,
and enrich the blood, thus retarding the
development Of tubercies. To accom-
plish this, more powerful Alternative
than DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coveFg- has never been discovered. At
the same time, it soQthes the irritation
of the nervous system produced by vio
lent coughing, which in its turn so often
leads to more serious results. The use
of 'expectorants" in consumption is alb
solutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercies already formed, they pro-
duce yet more serious results by infiam-
ing and destroying the sound and
healthy tissues. Consumption requires
a remedy that will soothe while it re-
lieves; harsh medicines, but add fuel to
the flame that already threatens to con-
Discovery fulfills these conditions, and
has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered TO allay and arrest con-
sumption.
