Oh,MyBack!

That's a express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by 50 many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
r%heumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something IS
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

Herald Of IIealth.l

uerhIu Oh Ilealtn.
The Lancet has at last taken up
the subject of high heels and the
harm they do tho wearer. 1t says:
1.-THE evils of the high hecled boot
or shoe are due TO the fact that IL
is an essentially badly fitting arti.
clio. 1t is made 10 defiance Of the
relation which 1t ought to bear to
the anatomy Of the foot, and to
the direction In which the pres.
sure of the body weight falls upon
the latter. Hence the peculiarly
cramped walk of ladies of the
present day. Any one may oh.
serve the consequences of the
advanced POSITION nearly under
the instep, and the increased
height Of heel, In the substitution,
of o forward inclination Of the
body, and q trip suggestive In q
measure of the stumbling gait for
the upright and the free and
graceful swinging movement nat.
ural to the leg in walking. These
matters, as far as they are merely
relative to the department, do not
strictly concern US, but there are
attendant circumstance which de.
serve comment. The boot or shoe,
in order that 1t may shift on the
foot, which has lost much of it's
usual purchase of direct down
ward pressure, must hold 1t firmly,
and even tightly, and In particular
1t is necessarily constructed SO as
to hold with undue flrmness just
above the back Of the heel. With
some persons perhaps, no incon-
yenience results; with others who
have fine skins chatting is readily
produced. This Is initseIf triile,
and Is presumably altogether too
inconsiderable to affect the will Of
fashion, but it may, nevertheless,
be the slight beginning Of graver
troubles. Probably there are fe W
physicians who have city prac-
tice who can not recall q case, or
cases, In which extensive innama.
tion of the leg with abscess for

slight abrasion, and The exciting
cause when looked for was dis.

iIassa's rellen Picker.

The Charleston News aud Conr-
ler says: The Mason cotton har-
vester was tested last year very
thoroughly in a field of cotton
which was planted BY the Cotton
Harvester Company. near its
workshops, at Sumpter. From
the beginning to the end Of the
cotton season Mr.. Mason worked
early and late to make the machine
as perfect as possible, and the
company which owns the patents
money freely in supply
ing the shops with the latest and
best machinery. The result of the
tests made last season satisfied
the company that the problem
which had SO long been deemed
impossible had at last been prae-
tieally solved. All that remained
to be done was to simplify aud
cheaper the cost Of manufacture
ing the machines. The machine
even upon the very first trial pro-
we'd wonderfully successful, gath.
ering the open bolls without inju.
ry to the plants or to the unopen
bolls, or blooms, and with almost
incredible rapidity. The principle
Of the machine was demonstrated
to be the true solution of the prob
lom that has puzzled so many
heads. All that remained was to
apply the principle in the best pos
sible way.
Since the disappearance Of the
cotton from the fields last winter,
Mr.. Mason has made many im.
provements in the harvester. The
machine has been made smaller
and lighter, and yet affords more
space for the operation Of the ma,
chinery. In its present form 1t ID
capable Of doing even more rapid
and satisfactory work than II did
last year. The construction Of the
machinery which operates the
picking stems and gives to them
the peculiar triple movement
which renders possible the selec'
tion Of the open cotton without in
jury to the unmatured bolls, and
the delivery of 1t into the recepta
cles constructed for the purpose
is marvellously simple and perfect
The friction has been reduced e
tho minimum, and the 1856 picking
stems which are placed in eacl
machine can be fabricated BY
pouring the oil into single brasl
oil cup at the top Of the shaft
Numerous other modification
have been made In the construc
tion OF the machine, which, 1t il
beloved, will greatly improve IL.
