Cincinnati Corrcspon,icBcc
Cincinnati may not deserve tho reputation
of being a "Festive City," but IL certainly
controls a monopoly of festivals. First it was
tho Opera Festival, next the Dramatic, aud
more lattcrly IL has been the Flood and Riot
Festivals. These latter Carvinals may not
possess tho attractive features that the two
former were supposed to have but they are
mono tho less likely to prove powerful and
moro lasting in their results. had very
interesting conversation bearing upon this
subject, with the Rev. j. Pike Powers, the
well.known divine, who has charge of the
Baptist church ut Owenton, KY few days
since | found that the reverend doctor was
very we'll versed in matters pertaining to the
welfare of tho world, as we'll as tho church.
In the course of our conversation he said
"The effects of both the riots and the floods
are such rs to naturally cause keen regret.
The former show, in distressing dogreo, the
extremes 10 which human nature can 90 when
in its fronzied state, whether iustiilable or I'M
iusthable 1t takes a long while for u COM
munity to become reconciled to the quiet of
every day life, after such furore as we have
had"
"But do you think that such an uprising is
more TO be regretted than the floods?'
"That is hard to say. There are very
many things that follow as the result ofa
freshet that are greatly to BIO deplored. Prin-
cipally among these may be mentioned tho
damp and unhealthy condition in which the
country ia left, by reason of the overflow OF
water. The drying up OF tho water by the
sun causes miasma of a dreadful nature to be
generated which sows the seeds of disease
and death in the community. Indeed, this is
true of the spring time in all regions, whether
they are visited by freshets OF not. There are
millions of people in this country who are at
| this moment drawing in rank poision with
| every breath they take, and the wonder to me
is that sickness is not moro common than
tits"
"Do you think disease is contracted by
| breathing air impregnated with fungus|
"Moro certainly than in any other man
| ner. l am positive most diseases are con-
tracted in this way. The rank air poisons
tho 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 it is the part of the highest wisdom to
fortify the system against tho inroads of such
4 insidious evils"
But that is a difficult thing to do, is it
not. doctorW
"I once thought SO, but have changed my
mind since the experience / have had with
| my own family. l have found that by the
use of what is certainly most valuable pre-
psration the whole body is toned up and in.
vigorated so that it can repel these malarial
enemies of health. That preparation is
| Warmers Tippecanoe, and l believein it most
implicitly for I have seen what wonderful
things it could accomplished"
Have you tried it thoroughly?"
Eyes. Ono ofmy sons had suffered severely
4 from dyspepsia and malassimilation of food
\ coupled with headache and dizziness. We
tried various preparations without avail, and
it was not until Tippecanoe was given that
he began to improve, He was greatly re-
duccd in flesh, had u lump in the stomach
apparently as hard as brick bat; his Apo.
tite was poor and he looked very badly. We
were distressed about him. This remedy has,
however, restored his appetite, corrected his
stomach, relieve his headache, and now no is
growing fat and can cat 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 aud on
courage vice. This preparation 1 have
named is an exception, and think it should
be universally known"
