BLINDLY CROPPING

Fer some medicinal alcoholic resusctant of phys
ical energy which should take the place Of the
hesay and frequently sdulterated stimulants OF
commerce, the med icsl practitioners of q century
ago were electrified on first observing the reviv-
ing effects upon the system of tonic then re-
Gently introduced, but which has since become
the most popular medicine sold on this continent,
viz: Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Their as
ishment and admiration were increased when ex-
pereuce farther discoses that this botanic remedy
effected results which the mineral drugs of the
the pharmacoppia often utterly failed to
produce, among others, the permanent res
toration of vigor, the removal digestive,
digestive, secretive and evacuative irregularities
and the eradication and prevention of periodic
fevers. Speedy recognition Of the merits of the
Biters by unprecedented and enlightened phys icsns
naturally followed this revelation of medical facts
which have since received such frequent and posi-
tive confirmation.

few words for those who travel by rail: Per.

A few words TOT those VINO UaVel by ran: Per-
sons travelling by railway are subject to continued
annoyance from the flying cinders. On getting
into the eyes. they are not only painful for the
moment, but are often the cause Of long suffer-
ing, that ends in a total loss of sight. very
simple and effective cure is within the reach of
everyone, and would prevent much suffering and
expense were it more generally known. 1t is
simply one or two grains of flax seed. These
may be placed in the eye without injury or pain
to that delicate organ, and shortly they begin to
swell and dissolve a glutinous substance that
covers the ball of the eye, enveloping any foreign
substance that may be in it. The irritation or
cutting of the membrane is thus prevented, and
the annoyance may soon be washed out. A dozen
Of these grains slowed away in the vest pocket
may prove, in an emergency, worth their number
