AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFECTING
A NUMEROUS GLASS.

The disease commences with q slight
arrangement of the stomach, hut If
neglected, it in time involves the whole
frame, embracing the kidneys, liver,
pancreas, and, in fact, the entire glandu-
lar system, apd the afflicted drags out a
miserable existence until death gives
relief from suffering. The disease is
often mistakes FOR other complaints;
but if the reader will asked himself the
following questions, he will be able to
determine whether he himself is one of
afflicted Have | distress, pain, or diff
Guilty in breathing after eating? Is there
a dull, heavy feeling attended by drow-
siness? Have the eyes n yellow tinge?
Does thick, sticky, mucous gather
about the gums and teeth in the morn
ings, accompanied by u disagreeable
taste? Is the tongue coated? Is there
pains in the side and back? Is there
fulness abont the right side as if the
liver were charging? Is there costive-
ness? Is there vertigo or dizziness when
rising suddenly from horizontal posi-.
ton? Are the sccretions from the kid.
neys scanty and highly coloured, with Il
deposit after standing? Does food fer
ment, soon after eating, accompanied by
hatulence or belching of gas from the
stomach? Is there frequent palpitation
of the heart? These various symptoms
may not be present at one time, but they
torment the sufferer in turn as the dread
ful disease progresses. If the case be
one of long standing, there will he a dry,
hacking cough, attended after time by
eXpectoration. In very advanced stages
the skin assumes dirty brownsh APP.
pearance, and the hands and feet are
covered by cold, sticky perspiration.
AS the liver and kidneys become more
and more diseased, rheumatic pains APP
pear, and the usual treatment proves en-
irely unavailing against this latter ago
nizing disorder. The origin of this mala-
dy is Indigestion or dyspepsia, and a small
quantity of the proper medicine will
remove the disease if taken IN its Incl
piency. Ii is most important that the
disease should be promptly and properly
treated in its first stages, when a little
medicine will effect a cure and even
when it has obtained a strong hold the
correct remedy should be preserved in
until every vestigc of the disease is
eradicated, until the appetite has re-
turned and the digestive organs restored
to healthy condition. The surest and
most effectual remedy for this distressing
complaints is "Seigel's Curative Syrup"
Il vegetable preparation sold by all
Chemists and Medicine Vendors through
out the world, and by the proprietors, A.
j. White Limited, II, Faringdon Road,
London, E. G. This Syrup strikes at the
very foundation of the disease, and
drives it, root and branch, out of the
system.

A TRAP TO CATCH A THIEF.
A. STRANGE STORY.

one day as we sat together,
"and | have had many strange

of them with incredulity.

| nodded assent, and the
detective proceeded.
Con the Doth March, 1873,
the inhabitants of Sidford a
small town on the northeast
coast, were thrown into a
state of great excitement by
a report, which subsequently
proved to be true, that a
jewellers shop-belonging to
one of their most prominent
tradesmen-had been robbed
during the previous night,
and quantity Of golden
ornaments, chiefly consisting
of rings and other small
articles, carried off. The thief
had succeeded in getting
away with his plumber UNI
noticed, and it was not until
some hours afterwards that
the robbery was discovered,
and the local constabulary
communicated with, thus,
you understand, rendering
his capture more difficult.
For sometime the closest and
most vigorous search was I'M
awaiting, and it seemed likely
that, like many other rob-
berries, this one would remain
untraced. Ultimately, how
ever, what was believed to be
a clue was discovered, but
this was very slight in itself,
and not by any means to be
relied upon; yet, slight as it
was, determined to follow it
up.
"It happened that a young
who possessed considerable
artistic skill had seen a we'll
dressed and respectable-look-
ing man leaving the town
very early in the morning
after the theft. He took no
further notice, until, being
in conversation with one of
the police officers, he men
toned the circumstance. On
inquiry the officer found the
man was a stranger, and he
asked the youth for a descrip-
ton, which luckily he was
able to give, together with a
pen-and-ink sketch. With
this information the police
resumed their efforts, and in
the end succeeded in tracking
the supposed thief, whose
name they had ascertained,
to a large manufacturing
town in one of the midland
counties"
"There, however, they
lost all trace of him, and it
was decided to employ a
London detective. I was
selected or the job, and
having received photograph
OF the pen-and-ink sketch,
and the description, / set off.

The stock of fertility. which exists in
soils, though generally large. is for the
mcst part in a latent form. The nitrogen,
for instance, which is in combination with
carbon, does not appear to be available to
any extent for the food of plants until it
has been separated from the carbon. and
by combination with oxygen has assumed
the form of nitric acid. Its manuring
properties we know are then very great.
The various mechanical operations which
take place on the farm or in the garden
plowing. digging. trenching. narrowing.
rolling. hoeing-have for their one object
the formation of nitric acid. A fertile soil
is one competent to liberate and render
available for the use Of plants consider
able amount OF nitrogen. while m abun-
dant season Is one In which the crops are
enabled to take up IN unusual amount OF
this active plant food by means of their
roots. Thus it il that facts sccumulate
which enable philosophical observers to
account for the value Of the operations
which practical men have found to be
necessary in cultivating crops. Frequent
disturbance of the soil il necessary to pre-
pare the food of plants.

A correspondent in an exchange tells
how to make superphosphats Of lime !:
Take large tub or barrel. and put into it
100 lbs. water; add. very slowly and eau
tiously, 43 lbs. of pure sulphuric acid.
You must be very careful while handling
this article not to let it touch your skin or
clothing. as it will instantly blseken the
skin and destroy the clothing wherever it
comes in contact, and when mixed with
water it engenders q very intense heat.
Into this mixture throw 100 lbs. weight
of bohes, no matter how old or useless
they may be. The sulphuric attacks and
gradually enters into combination with the
bones, reducing them to pasty consis-
tence, and completely dissolving them
Keep under cover and turn over occasion
ally while the process is going on, and
when completed dump out the whole con-
tents on the barn floor or on platform of
boards, and thoroughly work into the mass
four times its bulk of dry bog earth or
dry road dust; mix and pulverize COM
pletely with a wood shovel. The bog
earth acts as an absorbent or dryer, re-
tanning the fertilizing properties of the
compound. and rendering it easy Of uni
form distribution. If whole bones are
used, it will take six or eight weeks to
dissolve them. If they are broken with
an axe. they will dissolve about there in
weeks. If they are ground in bone mill,
four days will be sufficient. This manure
is the most powerful fertilizer in existence.
and when made by these directions is the
cheapest, as ton is equal to 32 tons of
yard manure in phospheric acid. For top
dressing grass lands, use 300 lbs. per
acre: for corn. potatoes, beans, turnips,
etc, apply 450 lbs, per acre in the drill
mixing with the soil. For wheat. rye,
oats or barley 400 lbs. per acre. Harrow
in with the seed. For buckwheat. 800
lbs. per acre.

One reason why the treatment of rbeuma.
tism is so frequently wanting in success is
that the local remedies applied do not reach
the seat of disease, which is the blood. Ath-
lophoros deals at once with the obstructive
acid which poisons and infiames the system,
and by expellin9 it invigorates the action OF
the muscles, limbers the joints and brings re-
newed health to the wearied frame. Miss
