SAFE
Kidney and Liver
CURE.
Another Proof that
Bright's Disease in it's
worst form is a

ROCHESTER, N. L., Nov. 81, 1879,
Messrs. II. H. WARNER & Co..
Rochester, n. Y.
Gents: From my own sense of duty.
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded to offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Brights Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven wears
her life has been agburden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego HorneIls-
ville,- Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
slclans that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged us to give it a trial so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, / came
to your office for that purpose. | took
home two bottles of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it TO her according to directions. and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton she acquired control of her urinary
nctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured Of what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as | can not in this letter, that l
know Brights disease of the worst type
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
MRS. M. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo-
NAL, l desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible affection, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use Of the same
remedy that l did.

When the dust is ready Tor use, have

Take a pair OF scissors and nip every

Black Jack Ridges Valuable.

Editor OF the FIOTtUU AgTtCuNUtot
Some writer's on Florida lands
have, classed the "black jack ridges"
as third class lands, and not very
desirable. The reason for this L
have not been able to learn. When
i came to Florida l was told by
most of those l met, that all the de-
sirable locations were taken, and that
l would have to buy land second
hand, or 90 many miles from trans
portation, but finding some of these
undesirable "black jack ridges va
cant. few of us took homesteads at
a venture. We have found that
from one TO two days work will
grub out the black jack roots on an
acre, furnishing the best OF fuel the
ashes of which are rich i'll potash,
thus furnishing one OF the best of fer
tilizers for our sand hills" while
the wood will pay for the grubblng.
We have no "muck ponds" on these
lands consequently no malarial tevers
to contend with, and with such fer
tilizers as COW peas, black JACK leaves
etc, we find we have some of the
finest orange lands in the State, and

the tolloWing article wrllten TO JUS by

the following article written to us by
a northern gentleman who towns a
grove in Florida.
II will take the occasion to say a
word about Kerosene oil as d de-
stroyer of scale insects on the orange
tree. Several friends and neighbors
at st. Nicholas have tried the oil re-
peatedly on the same trees, experl.
mentally, not only ON the branches
but on the leaves. The result has
been to etfectually clear off the scale,
without any apparent injury to the
trees.
| have used oil on some of my
trees, it is SO fluent and penetratlve
that it seems to go under the scale
and kill and loosen it 50 that 1t Is
readily brushed or washed off. The
oil evaporates rapidly but the para
fine remains an infinitesimal coat or
greasy film, which think will per-
haps prevent another crop of the in
sects from fastening Oh the bark. If
this be so we seem to have in kero-
sene a remedy and prophylactic.
Blu; another person confidently says
the oil will harden or bind the bark
and so hinder circulation. Now the
question desired to ask is whether
the experience of yourself and cor
respondents has led to such conclu-
sion? If so whether the injury is
likely to exceed the benefits? Here
it occurs to mind that it such is the
effect of oil, might it not be, notwith-
standing, beneficial application to
Young trees, in the fall, after growth
has or should have ceased to check

ing ten cents gallon might as efec-
tually destroy the scale; alcohol is
said to be a sure cure, but too eX-
pensive.
Now, Mr.. Editor,~I am but a
novice having just crossed the thresh-
old of orange culture, and all the
