CHERRY PICTORIAL.
In the Whole History of
Madeleine


No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy TO be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.
For sale by all druggists.

Destroying Bed Bugs, cockroaches, Ants,
Moths and Parasites Of all kinds.
The apparatus for generating the steam is
an ordinary nursery lamp holding half pint
of the Medicated Fluid, with a tube at the
top to direct the Medicated Steam upon any
point infested with insects. It is heated with
a small spirit lamp beneath the boiler. For
Dwellings, Hotels, Steam Ships. Restaurants
&C., nothing ever discovered equals this ap-
pliance. 1t is harmless to human life; is in
expensive and simple in its use. While a
most potent means for destroying Vermin
it is the best disinfectant known and may be
most effectually used to prevent the spread
of contagious diseases, such as Yellow Fever,
Scarlet Fever. Typhoid Fever, Diptheria,
Small Pox, &c. One trial is the best proof
of the great advantages of this over all other
appliances. For sale by Druggists and Gen.

Wilfred 8. Blunt, the well known
Orientalist, has just completed census
from the best obtainable authorities of
According to him
the creed numbers IT'S 100000 believers,
divided into four sects, of which the
Sunites are las, 100000. There were
SO, 1850 pilgrims to Mecca last year. But
the most singular part of Blunt;s rec
ord is the spread of Islamism into Al
rica. In the dark continent the faith
is alive and at work, and prosely ytizing
as fiercely as in the days Of the caliphs
at Bagdad. Each year adds thousands
OF converts to the faith of the prophet.
and the result will be the erection of
another Mohammedanismc caliphat in
Soudan, which is largely Islamite.
The work which this creed has done
in the civilization of the world will
never be appreciated, and now again
in Africa, as centuries ago in Europe,
the crescent is shining brightly upon a
benighted people. Our debt to the
Arabs in Spain and to the Ottomans
southeastern Europe will never be
paid. Their philosophers laid the
foundation of nearly every science that
we have; their commanders taught us

Let me mention cure for cTlbb;ng
in horses. At least. [ found a cure for
my first attempt in horsefesh. The
animal was warranted, i'll writing,
I" free from all tricks, ETC." The first
ten days no trick was observed. Sub
sequently my purchase proved to be
determined cribber. The seller was
apparently astonished. Nothing of
the kind had ever occurred while he
had owned the horse. An inspection
of the stable where the horse had been
showed no traces of chewed woodwork
My brother-in-law, accustomed to
horses all his life, was serely puzzled.
He was convinced there was some
game,' and game there was. Con-
vinced that [ had been "soid," / re-
taiiated by finding out that the'seller
used paste made of red pepper and
brown soap, lightly applied wherever
and whenever he discovered marks of
teeth in the stall, the paste being
masked by dust scattered or top. Thus
it was, the horse thinking my wood
work was like his late stable, let the
timbers alone at first. tried the rem
edy. The horse has not attempted to
crib for four months, and q stranger
would never imagine that hundred
little spots within reach of his head
were bits of paste. The horse knows
it, however, and lets my stall alone.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. Julius
Balm, living on Chestnut ST., bought
several pounds of corn beef at Du-
mont's grocery, and when he brought
il home his wife ate a small quantity
and was taken sick that night, but
nothing was thought of it. The next
morning at breakfast the father and
two daughters ate heartily of the meat
and were taken so sick that doctor
was called, who pronounced it case
of poisoning, and used antidotes, so
that the family are now recovering,
although still weak.
Another case on the same street oc-
Cured on Tuesday, being family con-
sisting of Joseph Baker, wife and son,
and nine boarders who work on the
railroad. The meat also came from
Dument's on Tuesday morning, and
was set out for dinner, all eating freely,
after which the men went out to their
work, but all returned in the afternoon
very sick, finding the entire family
affected in a similar manner. The
symptoms are those of arsenical poi
soning. Mr.. Paul Field and wife also
received a dose and were very sick for
time. Mr.. Dumont cannot tell how
the meat became affected, as he pre-
pared it himself, but he at once destroy
ed the entire lot, and no further dam
ger is to be apprehended.-[Stark Co.
