The treacberous weather at this sea-
son of the year invariably produces
chills and fever, intermittent, typhoid,
and sinking, or pernicious chills. The
slightest attack of fever may be pre-
lude to the worst, and the remedy that
would conquer it whilst il was yet in
ifs commencement may be of no value
when it is at its full development. Par
ticularly is this the case with persons
around whom the pestiferous influence
of malaria clings in the form of dumb
cbills, brow ague, painful spleen, and
weak stomach. For all these, Wilders
Chill Tonic is a powerful panacea. 1t
gives tone to the digestive organs,
braces up the system, strengthens the
portal circulation, and clears the whole
animal economy from the seeds of dis
ease. Use Edward Wilder's Chill
Tonic and save yourself from illness.

Begin at the Beginning.

fla man would keep his moral char,
acter without spot or hlemish he must
begin at the. beginning, and studiously
avoid all contacts which can possibly
soil the soul. If a man would not be a
miserable miser he must hold i'm check
the first impulse of the miserly spirit,
and see to it that the miserly habit is
not formed. If a man would not be. a
drunkard he must avoid the first sip of
that viii h has the dread color in the
cup. If a man would not become a liar
he must scorn 70 utter or insinuate, or
in any way act so much as the shade of
a falsehOod. If a man would be sin
cere and trustworthy he must be, scru-
pulous about the small concerns which
are the stepping-stones to hypocrisy.
Ii man would not be habitually pro-
fame he must make it an object never to
speak the name of God in other than a
devout and reverent tone. If n man
would not be a gambler let him be care
full to withhold cOuntenance even from
n church rattle. No man can be self
indulgent, and foolish, and reckless,
and criminal, up to certain stage of
life, and then emancipate himself, and
go on just aS-though there had been no
squandering of moral force, no turning
from the right,no base recreancy toduty.

Guaranteeing Seed Corn.


When man offers seed corn for sale
and charges a higher price for it than
the regular prieezd corn fer;the reason
that it is seed corn, he is responsible to
the party buying for the loss, If IL does
not grow. And the only way he can
absolye himself from this responsibility
is to have it distinctly understood at the
time that the purchaser takes it at his
own risk! And no one Should buy Iseetl
corn this, year kept on conditions well
understood, There will be plenty of
greedy men offering seed corn for sale
without understanding what they are
doingo cor, being, irresponsible for the
damages. Some may think the meas
ure of damage would he sr;efunding the
money paid, or furnishing eqpalanlo
of corn agafn.! This is finfftedview of

matter.
AHA general Ithingaitr isppF,safe TO

it grew last year--is no evidence that it
will grow this year. 1t. never grows

yet, after trial this year, if it proves of
strong vitality it can be trusted. But
we warn our farmer friends About being.
in so important a matter, caught in the
