Cincinnati may not deserve the repu
tstion of being a Festive City, but 1t
certainly controls a monopoly OF fe>ti-
walls. First il was the Opera Festival
next the Dramatic aud more latteriy IT
has been the Flood and Riot Festivals
| These latter Carpivals may not possess
| the attractive features that the Two for
mer were supposed To have but they are
none the less likely To prove powerful
and more lasting in their results. had
a very interesting conversation bearing
upon this subject, with the Rev. j. Pike
Powers, the ~well-known Divine, who has
charge of the Baptist Church at Owen
| ton, Ky, a few days since. ! found
that the Reverend Doctor was very well
versed in matters pertaining 10 the wei
fare of the World. as we'll as the Church.
In the course of our conversation he
said
The effects Of both the riots anu the
floods are such as 10 naturally cause keen
regret. The former show, IN a distress
ing degree, the extremes TO which human
| nature can 60 when in Its frenzled state,
| whether justltiable or unj ustlhable. 1t
| takes a long while for a community 10
| become ~reconciled to the quiet Of every
| dav life, after such a furore as We have
had.
but do you Think that such an up
rising is more TO be regretted than he
| foods ?"
That is hard to say. There are very
many things that follow as the result of
a freshet that are greatly to be deplored.
| Principally among these may be men

| ton in which the country Is left, by
reason of the overflow OF water. The
drying up o the water by the sun causes
mlasma of a dreadful nature to be gener-
ated which sows the seeds of disease and
death In the community, Indeed, this
is true Of the Spring-time in all region-,
whether they are visited by freshets or
not. There are millions of people IN this
country who are at this moment drawing
in rank poison with every breath they
take, and the wonder to me Is that sick
ness is not more common than 1t Is
DO you think disease is contracted by
breathing air ~impregnated with fungus
"More certainly than IN any other man
ner. l am positive most diseases are
contracted in this way. The rank air
poisons the blood and the mind becomes
dull, the digestion poor, the muscles
ache, the head throbs. the tongue grows
white, the appetite departs and general
debility sets in which is certain to result
in death if not checked. | believe 1t is
the part of the highest wisdom to fortity
the system against the inroads ofsuch
| insidious evils"
But hat is a difficult thing to do,i it
not Doctor ?"
Il once thought SO but have changed
my mind since the experience | have had
with my own family. | have found that
bv the use of what is certainly a most
valuable preparation the whole body is so
| toned up and invigorated that it can
repel these malarial enemies of health.
| That preparation is Warmers Tippecanoe,
AND l believe in it most implicitly, for |
| have seen what wonderful things it could
| accomplish"
Have you tried it thoroughly?'
Eyes. One of my sons had suffered
| severely from dyspepsia and mal-assimi-
lation of food coupled with headache ald
dizziness. We tried various prepare
tions without avail, and it was not until
Tippecanoe was given that he began to
improve. He was greatly reduced IN
flesh, had a lump in the stomach appar-
| emily as hard as a brick bat his appetite
was poor and he looked very badly. We
were distressed about him. This remedy
has however, restored his appetite, cor
rected his stomach, relieved his head
ache, and now he is growing fat and can
eat almost anything without distress.
Mrs. Powers is enthusiastic upon this
subject and SO am L. You see, many so
called stomach preparations are composed
so largely Of alcohol that they create an
appetite for strong drink and encourage
vice. This preparation | have named is
an exception, and | think it should be
universally known"
And that is why the above interview
is published.
