cure (without medicine) of SPERNAToRRHGA
or Seminal Weakness, Involntary Seminal
Losses, IMPoTENoY, Mental and Physical In
capacity. Impediments to Marriage, ete.; also,
CONSUMPTION, EPTIEPsY and Frs, induced

The celebrated author, in this admirable
Essay, clearly demonstrates, from thirty
years successful practice, that the alarming
consequence of self-abuse may be radically
cured without the use Of internal medicine or
the application of the knife; pointing out
mode Of cure at once simple, certain, and eff
fectual, by means of which every sufferer,
no matter what his condition may be, may
be, may cure himself cheaply, privately,
and radically.

False Reasoning.

Suppose machine should fail to per-
form its work, and the owner, instead
of trying to ascertain the cause of fall
ure and remedy it, should conclude To
run right along, and argue that as the
machine had heretofore come around
all right it would soon be so again. If
a general and permanent breakdown
ensued could anybody be blamed but
himself? Now, precisely this way do
people act and argue when the "human
machine" is out of order. When the
liver is "torpid" and bowels constipated
every one knows that DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant PurgatiVe Pellets afford
prompt and permanent relief. Yet
some guess the machine" will come
around all right, and do nothing.
Could any system of false reasoning
be more pernicious? Suppose the
blood be out OF order and there be pim-
Piles, ulcers, or running sores with
scrofulOus tumOrs, swellings and gen.
eral debility, and those thus affected

r&eon's Perquisites.


An English legal journal speaks of a
somewhat embarrassing legel question
which has arisen at Washington. a
surgeon amputated both legs of pa
tient, claimed them ''dS his perquiSiteS, "
placed them in spirits, and exhibited
them in local museum in jar with
the name of the original owner. The
latter, who objected to this publicity,
brought an action tor the recovery of the
legs. No decision has been arrived at,
but the authorities are anxious in the
matter, for, II the plaintiff succeeds,
they fear other lmbless individuals
may follow his example, and so the
museum may in time be robbed of much
of its scientific value and personal in
terest. 1t has been suggested that the
museum authorities should take their
stand upon the principle that the legs,
when severed, become dead, and that
at common law there is no property in
dead human body.

MOTHS AND CARPET BEETLE.-These
insects have great repugnance to tai
| low, and may be kept from woollens
and furs for and indefinite period by
its use. The wife of one of our Ameri-
can ministers who resided abroad for
many years told us that she preserved
her fine carpets left in this country en-
tirely from the ravages of moths by
wrapping up with them tallow candles.
When the carpet beetle has commenced
his work the carpet should be taken up,
sprinkled thoroughly with benzine and
the floor painted over with melted tai
low, taking care to fill up all the crew
ices In the floor, as Ia these the larvae
seerete themselves. The carpet Inning
will prevent any rallOw getting upon
the carpet. The Builder and Wood
Worker gives an account of the man
ner in which a set of furniture that
seemed to be alive with the larve OF
the moths was made good again. 1t
was set into room by itself and the
upholstery saturated through and
through with benzine, applied. by
means OF a watering pot with fine
rose sprinkler. Three gallons at thirty
cents a gallon were required. This
killed every moth, larv@ and egg. The
benzine dried out In few hours and
it's entire odor disappeared in three or
four days. Not che slightest harm
happened to the varnish, or fabric or
wood or hair stuffing. Moths passed
and not sign of moth was seen. The
carpets were Sprinkled all around the
sides of the room with equally good
effect. When Nooleus or IuIs are in
tested withsmoths, If they are put In
box and sprinkled with benzine, and
The box closed tightly, the moths will be
destroyed. Those who can procure
barrels from which alcohol has just
been emptied will find them good TO
store woollens In. The atmosphere of
such a barrel when closed tightly suf-
locates the pests. A garment that Is
sealed up in fine brown paper Is safe
from the moths, but it must be entire
ly free from them before being sealed
up. ..r.s -

JOINT FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCHEON OR

rub well in the following mixture :;
four tablespoonfuls OF salt, two OF

powdered cloves, mace ard ginger.
Turn the meat every day for week,
and rub in the liquor found in the pan
(take care to cover from the flies at

The best plan is to put the meat into a
deep saucepan full of water, cover with
the lid, and let it stand all night, then
dry it in cloth, roll it tightly, put one
iron skewer through, and well bind it
round and over into good shape.
Steam until done, take 1t out and lay 1t
on board, put plate turned over on
the top with heavy weight upon it,
and when quite cold the binding may

are few animals kept on the farm which
when they are in their prime, pay as
