Cathartic Pills

~ ~ ~ - ~ = " = -
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately al,
justed 10 secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity Of effect. They are the result
OF years OF careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual rem
edy vet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement OF the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and eitectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class OF diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice. and by all
civilized nations, is one OF the many
proofs OF their value as safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine;
Being compounded Of the concentrated
virtues OF purely vegetable substances.
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
istered to children with perfect safety
AYER's Pills are an efiectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, tndiges-
ton, Dyspepsia Loss Of appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbnesss
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, DiarrhDa, Dysensery, Gout,
Piles. Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from disordered
state OF the digestive apparatus.
As Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pulls
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They sfimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
iinpart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.

THE CIRCUS FEVER.-The tenting season
is nearing, and the elephant, the tiger and the
rhinoceros may be expected to arrive almost
any day. And this causes the editor of an ex-
change paper to rise up in his bed and dash off
the following After considering the question
all winter we come to the conclusion every
spring that the circus is immoral but then
the billposter comes along with the big pic
lures and our mind changes. AS we gaze at
the lions, tigers and monkeys, and think that
nature made all of them, we are not sure.
And when we look at the beautiful young la
dy, and think that nature made her too, just
as she is, we begin to lean up to the circus.
But when the brass band begins to play, and
the elephants 60 round, we rush for front
seat to get ahead of the minister.

FATTENING FowLs.-Fowls to be palatable
and tender should be fattened quickly. From
eight to ten days are sufficient. Place the
birds in a roomv coop, in some outbuilding
where they viii. be free from draft and in a
modified light. The morning food should be
given as early as possible, and should consist
of good, sweet, yellow corn meal, mixed with
one-third its quantity of heavy wheat mid
dlings; mix with boiling water, and in the
water should be chandler's scraps sufficient to
make the water quite greasy. To every two
quarts of feed, every other day, mix table
spoonful of powdered charcoal before the Wa
ter is poured on the feed. Let it stand cover
ed up; after being mixed for twenty minutes
then feed. At noon use the meal leaving out
the middlings, and in it's place put in all the
table scraps you can get and some finely chop
ped cabbage. Use the charcoal only in the
morning feed. At night feed corn that has
been boiled until it has swollen twice it's natu-
raj size. Every other day add to noon feed a
little buckwheat lin grain). Give water after
each feed. Warm sweet milk is best if you
have it to spare. Give during the day, but al
ways give water for drink at night. Do not
feed anything for at least twelve hours before
killing, and let the last feed be soft food ; and
if you would like nice gamy flavor to the
meat let it contain good proportion of chop.
ped celery. Fowls fed in this way fatten very
rapidly, and their flesh is tender, juicy and
tempting. ng.-American Farmer.
