PREPARING PLANT BEDs.-Hot beds are
usually employed tor starting early vege-
table plants, but beds in the open air an
swer as well for late kinds, as we'll as for
tobacco. In preparing such beds plenty
of fine, rich old manure should be used,
thoroughly mixed with the surface soil.
When The bed Is completed, cover the en-
tire surface with dry straw, hay, brush, or
some similar material, and set it on fire.
The burning of these materials on the bed
will warm the ground, destroys insects and
weed seeds, besides adding fine coatir 6
of ashes and coal to the surface, both of
which will increase the fertility of the bed,
and act as preventive against the attacks
of many plant-eating insects. Where the
common flea beetles are troublesome to to.
bacco, cabbage and similar plants, this f.
ring of the bed previous 10 sowing the seed
will prove very beneficial, if not a certain
preventive. This is but modification OF
the old and common practice OF American
farmers of making their tobacco and cab.

DIR J. II. SCHENCK, Philadelphia, Pa:
Dear Sir-I write this to let you know that my
little daughter Henrietta, whom you saw on your
visit 10 this city in the fall OF 1879, has entirely
covered her health by the use of your Medicines
i wish also az the same time TO give you some
facts in regard to her case which did not have
time TO do when you were here. My daughter was
considered healthy child until the month of No
vember, 1873 when she was attacked with Remit
tent Fever, with which she was sick for q long
time. As she was recovering from It she took o
heavy cold, which settled on her lungs, producing
constant hacking cough. AS several OF her
mothers relatives had died of Consumption, we
were much troubled In regard TO her case, espec-
tally as our physician told us that her lungs were
weak, and after her cough had continued some
time, that they were seriously affected. He pre-
scribed many things for her, principally cod liver
O and stimulants; but she kept getting worse and
worse, until at last he told us that there was no
hope for her recovery; and, to satisfy US that he
had doRe all that it was possible for him TO do,
called in two other doctors They, after consulta-
ton, agreed that she must die, and that all we
couiI do was to make her comfortable while she
lived This was in the month of September, 1879
Although we were assured by our physician that
our little daughter could not get well, yet we were
always looking over the papers to try to find some
thing that would at least preserve her life for a
time. One evening read In the Albany Evening
Times the statements of many who had been cured
Of serious diseases by your Medicines, and feeling
thHC they at least could do her no harm, l con-
Guided to give them a trial. l therefore went to
the drug store of Mr.. Miller, gentleman with
whom was well acquainted, and asked him what
ne knew or thought OF your Medicines. He said ::
IL have heard them highly spoken of by my GUS
toners, and believe them to be good" / then
bought bottle OF the Pulmonic Syrup as well as

them about Two weeks nOtian6 the
tnat yon were to visit Albany professionally, and,
taking advantage of this opportunity, we had you
see her. Although you did not see her at the
worst, you or course remember her apparently
hopeless condition. We can only say that from
the Medicines you gave her she soon rapidly i'm
proved and became healthy ant strong. We give
