A Farmers Dream.


some people to know that farmer
ever dreams, and yet he does dream
In fact. it is hot unfrequent to find
one who even loves 70 dream, and who
is permitted to look into the future
and make great speculations In crops
and stock, &c, But we wish to call
your attention to one particular dream.
This man had been sick for many
months, confined to his house and bed
He had almost despaired Of ever gett-
+ ing around on his farm again, until
one stormy night, the rain that beat
upon the roof had ratified him into a
sort of doze or sleep. 1t was then
that he saw or had glimpse Of what
his future might be. He saw in that
dream very large building and in
that building he saw many things
which astonished him; they were
strange; he had never seen them be-
fore. At one end Of the store be saw
four men busily engaged in counting
pills, putting them in boxes, and
wrapping red papers around them
He then was told that he had been
sick for long time and that by TAX
ing Just one box of these pills that be
would be entirely cured, and could
once more plow the fields and till the
soil with pleasure, and profit, and
without pain.
For the general information of oul
many thousands of readers We would
state right here that the man tc
( which the above refers lives near St
Paul, Minnesota, that the dream OF
vision, which ever you may call it
made such an impression on his mind
that he actually ordered one dozen o.
Saur's Vegetable Blood and Liver
Pills, thai be took them according to
directions and was cured. This mar
further states, that in that dream he
saw into every part Of Saur's Drug
and Book Store. that even up stairs
on the second floor, he saw great
large stock of the mostibeautifui Wal
And Window Papers, fine decorating
papers, which looked nice enough tc
put on fairy houses, In the cellar he
saw large quantities of oils, great stacks
Of many different colored paints, var.
nishes, SC sfe 5' +,
On the main or first floor, where he
saw the pills put up, he also saw many
people busily engaged in buying dif.
ferent kinds of medicines, window
shades, brushes, nice books, papers
&c., in fact he could see most every
thing and anything here, and it almos,
seemed to him at first to be q manner
Of museum. He noted that extremely
great pains were taken to keep every
thing nice and fresh, that the good
health and welfare Of the people wers
held sacred rather than the dollars
and cents. That all attention was
given to those who called here (anG
there seemed to be no end to the visit.
ors), and their best interests consider
ed It was all this which gave the
dreamer such explicit confidence, anc
which induced him to make the ex;
pertinent, and we are proud and pleas
cd to say that he to-day, with thous
ands Of others, rejoices in having foune
Balm in Gilead, in having his healtf
restored, lii having that peace and hap
piness on this earth which good healtt
alone can give. taf4
And this man does not keep ths

ahighly creditable run. He was enti-
tied to the nomination and could have had

the friends of Hon. w. d. Hill that the
nomination Of Mr.. Weible would not on

benefit, and in this view of the case, Mr..
Grove positively declined to be candi-

Weible in the interests of Democracy.

A Remedy for Burns and scaIds.

Some time since, the American Agri-
culturist recommended the use of BIZ
carbonate of soda, that is the common
cooking soda, for most kinds of burns.
Since then frequent experiments and
observations, the opinions of ply
sicians, and the best medical journals.
have more than confirmed all we then
said. As burns and scalds are always
liable to occur, and as this remedy,
though simple, has proved to be extra
ordinarily useful, it should be fixed in
the mind Of every one. The soda and
the carbonic acid so readily set at lib
erty from it have aDesthetics, antisep-
tic, and disinfecting properties-all
highly beneficial for burns.
For slight burns cover all the injured
parts with a layer of powdered soda.
For deeper burns, but where the skin
is not broken, dip linen rags in a solu-
ton made by dlssolving about one
third Of an ounce Of the soda in a pint
of water; lay the rags on and keep
them moist with the solution. For
very severe burns, followed by suppura-
ton formation Of pus,) apply the rags
in the same way, keeping them moist;
but frequently exchange them when
dry for fresh ones, and carefully wash
OF, with the soda solution, any matter
that has accumulated underneath, so
that it may be absorbed into and
poison the blood. Leading European
medical journals give numerous in
stances in which. by the above treat
ment, extensive burns of very severe
character have healed speedily. leaving
little scar.

Free Trade in Medicine.

Dr fOOtcH Health Monthly.
The Medical News of January 9TH
(an old school Organ) contains an ar
ticle under this head in which it ex-
presses the opinion that free trade in
medicine seems to work we'll in this
republic. 1t speaks adversely TO the
compulsory rules of England and the
continent of Europe. 1t thinks that
the profession of medicine, cleft to its
own resources and untrammelled by
obstructive legislation, is remarkably
successful in the development of its
powers" 1t quotes from The Medical
Times and Magazine of London in this
wise: american medical literature is
very voluminous, and characterized by
great originality, inventive genius, in
dustry and practically" This London
pc. iodical attributes this fact largely
to the freedom which the profession
enjoys in this country or, perhaps, we
better say, has enjoyed, for, in the past
fewyears, there has certainly been any
thing but free trade in medicine. One
state after another has been adopting
stringent laws 10 exclude all but "the
elect" The News asks-"Ought we
not to continue, as heretofore, to per-
NIT the law of supply and demand to
regulate our growthp We may proper
ly correct fragrant irregularities by ap-
propriate legislation, but ought we not
to refrain from such interference in
our organizations and methods by au-
thority of the government, as would
hinder that free development and sue.
cess in progress which we owe to our
system of free trade in medicine?''
We are glad to see this protest from
an old school source. In Massachusetts
before the legislative committees there
was this remarkable spectacle: the old
school doctors laboring with all their
might to get some repressive laws
formulated and passed while the peo-
pie crowded the cemmittee-rooms in
opposition to such legislation. The
doctors on the one side and the public
on the other. Such contest ought to
have but one termination, and that the
defeat Of the doctors. This was the
result, and in Massachusetts,, we are
glad to say, they do enjoy free trade in
medicine.

What Causes Thought.

Boston Investigator
1t would seem that thought, feeling,
and mind are dependent on material
organization, and cannot otherwise
exist. Thoughts and feelings are a
part of ones mind, or, more properly,
they are not distinct from it; so, when
an elastic spring moves, the same term,
"a spring" includes both the spring
and the motion which it possesses.
The motion Of the spring cannot ex-
ist separately from the spring itself,
neither can thoughts exist separately
from matter. But the mind or cause
Of thought Is n material substance, and
though matter cannot be annihilated,
yet its organization can be destroyed,
so that Il can no longer produce thought.
ana, therefore, there can be no conscious
or individual existence after death.
The idea Of spiritual OF inorganic ex-
istence after death, the idea of spirit
ual OF intelligent inorganic being, APP
pears to be a mere fiction of the mind.
Thought is what the mind thinks
mind is the intellectual or intelligent
power in man, and depends on the brain,
which is the seat of the intellect or un-
Outstanding. DR.. Hamilton, a very
able and scientific physician, said last
week ON the trial as Washington. that
he "did not separate the moral and
men..l and he believed mind the pro-
duct of matter. When the machinery
breaks down the power is gone; when
the matter of the brain is gone its fuuc-
tions cease. Beyond that you enter
upon field where philosophers have
been lost since the beginning of time"

How an Indian Jockey Won.

Rlrggoid IIowa) Register.
The first horse race in this county
occurred just twenty-five years ago be-
tween white man named E. ]. Kuhn
and an Indian belonging 10 the numer-
Gus camps of red men in this coanty.
Kuhn put up $25 in gold, and if Mr..
Indian would cover it he would let his
horse run. This was arranged and $50
yards agreed upon as the dis
lance. A naked savage was
then bound to pony, with
each wrist encirc.ed with rattle boxes
of ingenious device. Everything being
in readiness, word was given and away
they went, the Indian in the lead.
When they had passed about half the
distance, Kun thought he would show
how easily he could pass. AS Kuhn
urged his horse alongside the savage
let forth an anearthly yell, and at the
same time fiourishing whip and rattles
in the eyes of the white mans horse.

and run in the opposite direction, leav-

An Absent-minded Gentleman.

Montpelier (vL) Argus.
A good joke is told of one of the
business men at Montpelier, who
stepped into the postoffice the other
forenoon, leaving his horse outside.
On coming out he walked a short dis
lance with gentleman, conversing on
business, after which he started for his
place Of business, and at noon went
home. On reaching there he proceed
ed to his stable to care for his. horse.
and was somewhat alarmed to find the
animal missing, and of course sup
posed it had been stolen. He immedi-
ately sought a sheriff, whom he dis
patched in one direction, sent a man to
Barre to head the thief off in that di.
rection, and late in the afternoon was
rushing to the printing Office to get out
posters fer his apprehension, when a
moments reflection brought the true
state OF the case to his mind, where
upon he proceeded to the postofice.
where he found the animal hitched to
a ring on the opposite side of the road,
it having evidently started for home,
but had been stopped by some one.

curn for Hog Cholera.

The Lewiston, Qn) Gazette contains
the following: Every paper in the
country ought occasionally to put the
fact before its readers that burnt corn
is a certain and speedy cure for hog
cholera. The best way is to make n
pile of corn on the cob, effectually
scorch 1t, and then give the effected
hogs free access to it This remedy
was discovered by E. E. Luck at the
time his distilleIy was burnt in the
country with a large lot of store corn,
which was so much injured as to be
unit for use, and was greedily eaten
by hogs which had been dying daily.
After the second day not single hog
was lost. and the disease entirely dis
appeared. The remedy has been tried
in a number of cases since and never
has failed"

than that which has accrued to the inhab-

United States and the Tropics from the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The
experience of many years has but too clear

other hand, it has been no less clearly
