HOSTS OF PEOPLE ARE MARryRs

To sick headache, that infallible symptom
Of q disordered stomach, liver and bowels.
Many suffer from it as many as three or four
times a week. They do so needlessly. for
Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters, by toning the
digestive organs and regulating the bowels
and liver, removes the cause. and dispels the
painful symptom. The intimate sympathy
between the brain and the abdominal region
causes the slightest disorder affecting the
latter to be reflected as it were, in the ORGAN
OF thought. The reform instituted by the
bitters when the digestive, sccretiye and
eVacuatiye functions are in a state OF chaos.
has other and more beneficial results. viz
the complete nutrition OF the whole phvsi,
cal economy, the restoration of appetite and
repose, and an increase in the power OF the
system to resist diseases of a malarial type.

THE DAIR '.
B0RAx FOR Sailing BUTTER

The Italian Minister of Agriculture, has
addressed a communication to the Chamber
of Commerce of Milan relative to experj-
anents in saltiug butter with borax. Borax
would appear to have a most marvellous eff
feet in insuring its absolute preservation.
Samples of fresh butter made at the Flor
ence station, and purposely not carefully
freed OF their buttermilk, were found, on
the addition of about s per cent. of borax,
TO maintain their natural fine flavor. with
out the least change whatever, tor upward
OF three months. TO attain this satisfacto-
ry result it is necessary that the borax
should be perfectly dry and in very fine
powder, and care must be taken to insure
its thorough mixture with the whole mass
OF the butter operated on. Among the fur
Their advantages Of this plan, it is uoted that
borax imparts no flavor of any kind to the
butter, while it is entirely harmless in it's
nature, and also reasonably cheap. Still la
ter experiments have shown that a very
much smaller proportion of borax ~sufices
to produce the desired effect. and also that
simple solutions of the salt act quite as well
as the dried powder.-Ame,1can Dairvmau,
