Live Catrie Exports.

From the New York Telegram, August T.
The large and steady increase of the
cattle movement from this side to Europe
Is exciting much attention in the English
and Continental journals. During the past
nine months over 10000 bulocks from the
United States have been sold in England.
The value Of the imports of all classes of
live stock into Great Britain last year
from America aud the Continent was e.
454, 4S2, and, with dead meat added, e.
7S5,702. Ofthat sum, Deurly "a 600, 900
OF $4,000 600 was from America. Every
year Europe can spare fewer cattle, and 1t
is TO America that England must look to
make up the deficiency 10 the home sup
ply. The most prominent shipper of live
cattle from this country and the man 10
VIII IN great credit is due is Timothy G.
Eastman, of New York city. He, Samuel
w. Allerton, Nelson Morris and ID. Ii
Sherman, OF Chicago, spent over 500, 600
IN tie experiment of shipping live cattle
before they made cent. The problem of
saie transportation Of cattle across the
ocean depends entirely ON the passage
IL the passage is rough, with cold
Weather and heavy sea, the cattle will
get lostled and worried to death, Ii it is
pleasant and the sea smooth, or compara-
lively so, the cattle go along all right. 1t
Is therefore. agreed that cattle can only be
shipped to Europe with profit during six
months OF the year. There is a wide DIFF
ference between the trade in live animals
and the trade 10 dead meat. If a auanti
ty,ot tat stock arrives in England at a time
when the market is not exactly such as
suited them, the animals are not killed
but kept for another market whereas
meat sent over in carcass is liable to all
the alterations of atmosphere, fog and
heat existing at the time of its arrival
and must be sold when it arrives in Eng
land, whatever may be the market price
orit would become totally unfit tor human
food and have to be condemned.
The uncertainty of sale, SO far as live
stock is concerned, owing to the present
strict quarantine at the foreign ANNA
Wharves, makes all speculation in the mat,

new HOPE FOR the AFFLICTED

The liver has been not inappropriately termed
the "housekeeper' of health. 1t Is the largest
gland in the system and performs the important
function of extracting from the blood impurities,
that If allowed o remain, would seriously impair
the healthy functions of the machinery of fife.
The kidneys also perform a mCst important funC-
ton in taking the blood urea and other poisonous
principles and excreting them from the system.
When in health, therefore, the liver and kidneys
preside over the life-functions of the system and
their condition determines to a very great extent
crippled or impaired, SO to fail in performing
their proper functions, poisonous matters accumu-
late in the blood that weaken and derange all vita
processes.

RATIoNAL TREATMENT,

We appeal to the readers reason If it s moi fair
10 suppose that the whole list of maladies that can
be logically and demOnstratively traced to their
primary causes should not be cureable by tie ap-
plication OF remedies known TO remove such eau
ees. Briefly to recapitulate, 1t has been shown
how hillary and uremic poisons, which In health
are removed from the blood and system through
the functions of the liver and kidneys, by their
pernicious operation The living tissues produce
great variety of distressing symptoms, innumer-
able skin diseases, ulcers, scrofulous sores and
swellings, and lingering and grave lung diseases,
chills and fever, asthma, and govt. Each of these
several divisions of mRladtes are, the writer is
well aware usually treated If entirely unlike in
their nature and demanding different classes of
remedies, according to the peculiar theory of the
school" or individual practitioner. The writer,
nevertheless confidently asserts, the results of
his observations, that all the diseases enumerated
in this icie can be most successfully treated by
Uniform means addressed to the liver and kidneys.
and he bases his opinion upon long experience
consulting physician in the largest Sanifarium
in the Ya-ld, and stakes his reputation as physi-
clan upon the assertion that these diseases can and
are cured by patent Alternative or blood-purifer
and liver and kidney invigorator, known as
