Cure Your Hogs and Cattle.

Some of our people have TESTED
and found to be very effective
DR.. Salmon's remedies for hog chol
era and murrain. Since it wa.
sold in Giles it has been perfected
and reduced in price and it is now
known and used widely as specific
We write this voluntarily because
we consider him a benefactor and
that we are doing our people ben
eft in letting them know there is a
cure for these diseases that have
caused so much loss to them. The
World says:
DR.. E Y. Salmon some time ago
discovered and patented remedies
for the cure of murrain in cattle
and cholera in hogs and chickens.
And later he organized and had in
corporated the Veterinary Medi-
cine Company for the purpose of
manufacturing his medicines. The
medicines have invariably proven a
specific wherever tried for the dis
eases mentioned, and the Veterinary
Medicine Company have invited
the fullest and most thorough trial.
They have recently issued The Ber-
CHER, an epitome on veterinary
medicines which should be in the
hands of every stock raiser. DR..
Salmon stands ready;to go in person
to neighhorhoods in this or other
states where diseases prevail to de
the efficiency of these
remedies. The Bergher may be

The Home Doctor.

SICK HEADACHE.-This complaint
is the result Of eating too much and
eXerting too little. In nine cases
out of ten the cause is that the
stomach was not able to digest the
food last introduced into it, either
from its having been unsuitable or
excessive in quantity. A diet OF
bread and butter, with ripe fruits OF
berries, with moderate, continuous
exercise il the open air, sufficient to
keep up gentle perspiration, would
cure almost every case in a short
time. Two tablespoonfuls of pow
dered charcoal in half a glass of
water, and drank, generally gives in
slant relief. The above remedies
may do in some, hut not in all cases.
A sovereign remedy for this com
plant is not easily found. Sick
headache is peri dical, and is the
signal OF distress which the stomach
outs up to inform rs that there is
an over alkaline condition of its
dulds; that it needs Il natural acid

working condition. When the first
symptoms of Il headache appear,
take a teaspoonful Of lemon, just
clear, fifteen minutes before esch
meal, aud the same dose at bedtime;
follow this up until all symptoms
are passed, taking no other RENE
dies, and you will soon be able to

Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases OF
The throat are so universally preva.
ant, and in so many cases fatal, re-
marks an exchange, we feel it ou1
luty to say a word in behalf of a
most efectual remedy, if not posi-
tive cure, for sore throat. For many
years past, indeed we NAV say dur
ing the whole of life of more than
forty years, we have been subject to
dry, hacking cough, which was
lot onl y dis ressing to ourselves, but
10 our friends and those with whom
we are brought into business con
,act. Last fall we were induced t.
Try what virtue there was in com
mon salt. We commenced by using
It three times a day morning, noon
and night. We dissolved a large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about a half a small lumbler full o
water. With this we gargle the
throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been
hat during the entire winter we
we're not only free from coughs and
colds, but the dry, hacking cough
has entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt-gargle, and
most cordially recommend trial of
it to those who are subject to dis
Eases of the throat. Many persons
who have never tried the -gargle
nave the impression that it is I'M
pleasant, but after few days use,
10 person who loves a nice, clean
mouth and first-rate sharpener OF
he appetite will abandon it.-Cum

LADIES' COLUMN 4.
Widows.

A New York letter enumerating
some Of Gotham's rich widows
winds up thus: While speaking on
this subject l wish to say plainly
that 1t is not my intention to re-
feet on widows after the fashion of
the Pickwick papers. So many of
our best men have married widows
and found them the very best of
wives that this point is past argu-
ment. For instance, Washington,
Jefferson and Franklin each married
widow, the names being severally
Mrs. Custis, Mrs. Shelton and Mrs.
Read. The photographer johnson
and the philanthropist Howard each
Iarried widows who were many
ears their senior, but they lived
very happy, and johnson never
ceased to mourn his departed "Tet-
ty." Aaron Burr's first wife was a
widow { Mrs. Provosi), and as long
as she lived his fortune was in the
ascendant. Their married life ap-
pears to have been happy, but, as in
the case of Jefferson, it only lasted
ten years.
Napoleon married the widow
Beauharnais, and as long as he con
Jinued faithful to her his progress
vas brilliant and successful. A very
curious instance of this is found in
he his DRY Of Sir William Herschel.
He reached the age of fifty as a
bachelor, but then married a widow
Mrs. Mary Pitt, with whom he
ived in a happy condition for a
bird of a century. They had one
son, Sir John Herschel, who became
also an astronomer, and won high
distinction. Mohammed is also on
he same list, for at twenty five he
married the widow Kadijah, who
was forty, and whose wealth and
influence were of assistance to a
needy adventurer. These facts add
fresh value to the rich widows of
New York. That one of this mum
rer gave $4,000 to beneficence,
while another builds a cathedral, Is
thus published to the world as a
tribute to American Womanhood.

Children in Heaven.

The late DIR. Pond of Bangor had
several young children removed by
death, and he left tender and
beautiful allusion To them in the
following paragraph:
Il love To think of them as away
from me at school the best school
IN the universe, where they have the
best teachers, and are learning the
best things in the hes, possible
manner. l expect ere long to go
and see them-see what progress
they have made and to what heights
of glory tn Y are ultimately des-
tined; for / think it is not unlikely
that among the brightest spirits that
surround the eternal throne may be
found many at the last who have
left this world in infancy"

Nine Noteworthy Trees.

An elm near Lawrenceburg,
Tenn, is los feet in diameter from
tip to tip of its branches, and 329
feet in circumference.
George H. Cook, of Lancaster,
Pa, has a pear tree in his yard
which recently had ripe fruit and
blossoms on its branches at the
same time.
A Pennsylvania walnut tree that
was hollow and nine feet in diane
ter was sawed down lately, and the
stump is used as a pen for num-
Der of hogs.
A cherry tree in Carter county,
KY, is thirteen and a half feet in
circumference and sixty feet high,
and its branches shade plot forty
three feet across.
Near the Fair-street depot, Kings
ton, n. Y, is a grand old elm. 1t
is of bouquet shape, and during the
present season over 200 birds built
nests in its branches.
At the mouth of Grassy Run, in
Springhill township, Pa, there stood
a sycamore tree that was hollow at
the butt, and Joshua Brooks used
it as a stable for his horse.
In Greene county, Miss, is a
double pine tree which has two dis
tinct trunks twenty feet apart, unit
ing thirty feet above the ground,
forming one solid trunk, round and
symmetrical.
A tree recently cut in Mexico,
Mo, measured nine feet through,
near the ground, and ITO feet high.
The first limb grew out at height
of thirty feet from the roots. The
tree was at least 300 years old.
When it fell twelve squirrels and
one coon were killed.
In the village of Pedur, in India,
grows a marvellous palm. Some
children plucked its fruit at 3 o'clock
one afternoon, and focked early the
next morning to gather more, but
they found the branches now far
above their heads. They ran to
their parents with the story that a
date tree which they saw on the
previous day lying upon the ground
was now standing. Observation
disclosed that the tree had been
changing its position every morn
ing and evening. The tree is eleven
feet high, not including the leaves
and stems. One who has seen it
writes: ''At $3.50 the tree was al
most lying toward the west. The
foot of the tree was at an angle of
five to seven degrees with the
ground, and I'VE were gwen to un-
derstand that it had already com
menced to rise from 4 o'clock"

Fanny Field asks, "Are Wives
SuppOrted?' Sometimes, Fanny,
and by the wrong man. What you
bl e eches-coveting wives want is to
quit leaning around kinder loose on
other fellows. Men are going abound
every day with their arms full of
other men s wife-your sort. We'd
rather be doorkeeper in a harem of
loving, gentle wives than to dwell in
the tents Of the Amazons. Wife
supporting is reduced to code
these days. All a fellow wants is
to show his wife where the kindling
is kept and then possess his pillow
in peace until the breakfast bell
rings.
