AFTER DINNER.

Persons who suffer from Indigestion
can arrest the progress Of that painful
malady by the use of an after-dinner
pill, 30 composed that it will give tone
TO the stomach, prevent heartburn, rouse
the liver to healthful action, inyigorate
the kidneys, and thus, through the activity
OF these organs, promote the natural
movement of the stomach and bowels.
AYERS PILLS are so compounded that
their action, though mild, effectually pro-
duces the above results. They also, in
curing Constipation, remove the cause of
Biliousness. Liver Complaint, Kidney Dis

AYERS PILLS

contain no mineral nor poisonous SUBJ
stance, and do not grippe unless the
bowels are irritated, and even then their
influence is healing. To continue their
effect in constipated or chronic cases, they
need only be taken in diminishing instead
of increasing doses. For seamen, and in-
habitants or travellers in sparsely settled
countries where physicians are not at
hand. they are of inestimable value.
There is hardly sickness they will not
alleviate, and in most cases cure, if taken
promptly. To young girls just entering
upon womanhoOd, and TO women whose
neriod of maternity is drawing TO close.
Ayers Pills, in moderate doses, merely
sufficient to ensure regular action of the
bowels, will be found Of
ancalcuEab!e Value.

Rise in Prices in England. 1850.

In 15Z7 Henry VIII. first had recourse
TO what was then the common practice of
Princes in financial difficultfes-he debased
the coinage. Having once entered into
the downward path he continued in it
until, in 1916 IS were made out of the
same amount of silver which at the begin
ming of the reign had been put into Is.
The most rapid rise in prices that England
has witnessed was the Immediate conse-
quence. The wheat average from 1900 to
1850 is Is aquarter from 1850 to 1882, l4s a
quarter. The restoration of the coinage by
Elizabeth, in 1860, failed entirely in bring
ing back prices to their old standard,
partly because the flood of New World
silver, which had already overspread the
Continent, now began TO penetrate into
England; partly because Elizabeth's coin
age, though pure, was very much lighter
than it had been in times past. At one
time a pound had really been but Dos;
from 1860 forward COS have been coined
out of pound of silver.-[The Quarterly

POISON

the poison or faint out through the pores of the

Pencil AND APRICOT PEST.


From George Woolsey, lone City, Cal:
The trouble with the peach trees has com
menoed again this season in this section. As IN
former years. the leaves, when half formed, all
drop of; gum eXudes, and the twigs die. A
close inspection at this time leaves no doubt of
the cause being an insect The terminal buds
are Just beginning 10 wilt. and inclOSe few.
By splitting them you VIII find the rascal. They
vary in size up to onequarter Of an incn IN
length.
Now, can you give Us remedy2 Was the egg
laid this spring, or WAS it last summer? If the
latter, ! should suppose an application during
the dormant stage. in the winter: if laid this
spring, an application would hardly prove eff
fective, rs the foliage viii fully protect them.
We have got to have a remedy, or else the days
of peaches are numbered. as well as apricots
as they both are affected, and the trees viii die
in a few seasons of such treatment. l under
stand the Sacramento river people had il last
season. We can look for a widespread deYasLa-
ton by this little twg or bud borer unless ne IS
fought vigorously. I cOnsiderit greater enemy
than woody aphis, as being more rapid in de
str0ying a tree.
Reply-The specimens reached here in
due season, but absence from home pre-
vented me examining them until the
branches and larve were destroyed. have
no hesitation in coinciding with your views
in regard to this dangerous pest of the
stone fruits, as it attacks the plum also. |
am Of the opinion that this insect hiber-
mates in the larve state, and that the eggs
are deposited in the buds by an early
brood of the moths.
At the present time best remedies | can
recommend are clean cultivation, careful
and close pruning, and the destruction of
all branches and terminal buds infested by
the larv,e The rapid spread of this pest
in the last two years should be sufficient
warning to growers of peaches, apricots,
plums, nectarines, etc, that they should i'm
mediately force the fight against this pest.
a great deal of good can be effected by
cutting off all infested branches and ter
minal buds that are infested (the latter can
be easily detected by their withered APP
pearance), and destroying them by burn
ing.
