seventeen-Year Locusts.

IN large cities.
Seventeen-Year Locusts.
From the st. Louis POST Dispatch.
There are indications that we are to
have return of the visits Of that most
eccentric insect. the seYenteen-year To-
Gust. This creature differs from all 9th
ers IN that it appears only every seven
teen years. instead of coming 10 life every
summer. The eggs are buried in the
earth, and have sometimes been found as
far as SIX feet below the surface. When
the time comes for the young lOcusts TO
emerge. no ordinary obstacles can stop
/ them. They have been known TO come in
great numbers from cracks between the
bricks in sidewalks. These sidewalks
were laid on streets now occupying what
was open country NJ the time the locust
eggs were deposited in the earth. 1t is
very curious feature Of the habits of these
strange insects that they are able thus to
thrust themselves into life from unseen
and unsupported places. 1t is pleasant to
know that the seVenteen-year locust is
not one of the most destructive OF pests.
He stays but short time, and sings
merry little song during his brief exist
ence. .0a7
Now look, if you please, at another
thing which comes up, unbidden and I'M
suspected. from the depths. This comes
not from the earth nor through the cracks
Of the bricks. II comes from the inner
man, and crops out into existence and to
sight through that complex and strangely
constructed fabric, the skin. 1t is a lit
tie pimple. lis head may be no bigger
than that OF a small pin. Sometimes it IS
red, and remains 30. Sometimes its top
hasa yellOwieh tnge, indicating that
there is something within which needs to
be released by puncturing with needle,
and then gently pressing. Ii there is
only one pimple, that 10 very small az
fair, and of little account. But the same
cause which gives rise to one pimple gen.
orally produces more. Sometimes these
pimples dot the skin by hundreds, or even
by thousands. Nobody ever heard Of just
one seventeen-year locust coming up all
by himself. No, they come in large
hosts, and so come the plmples. The
cause OF the pimples lies in the condition
Of the blood. The seeds Of impurlty are
sown in that vital fluid, and lie dormant
there for a while. Presently they bios
som out. A pimple tells the tale. Then
more plmples, and more and more, till the
skin has a rough and Volcanic look all
over.
One Of our writer's recently called to see
young Mr.. Spangonberg, at 3llS Grand
avenue. He had been troubled with this
pimpltd crop of indications OF impure
blood. The young man was away
from home, but from his mother and
brother the writer CLEANED the facts in
his case:
Said Mrs. Spangenberg: "What was
the matter with my son was that he had
impurity OF the blood. He was troubled
good deal with Indigestion, and think
that had something to do with IL. But his
face got 80 that IL WAS all broken out with
pimples. 1t staid so for good while,
and it was very unpleasant lOoking."
"And may | ask II be got rid Of this
trouble, aud hOww
"Certainly; he cot rid Of it, and was
very glad. too. He took good many
things that made him no better, and he
got very tired Of them. After some time
he saw something in the paper about
Browns Iron Bitters. That seemed to De
what he wanted, if it only would do what
the paper said it could"
"And did he find II able TO do what II
prOmised?"
ayes; that was the beauty OF It.. II did
just that exactly. Ny son took three or
four bottles of this Bitters, which made
the pimples go away IT must have
made mis- blood all right, for he has had no
trouble since that, aud that was nearly
two years ago"
"Then you arc believers in Browns
Iron Bitters here, are you, Mrs. Spangen-
bergw
"Believersf o yesi believe in it,
and 80 do We all. IL ~ great medi-
cine, for II did what the others failed n
do. Give me Browns Iron Bitters every
time"
And so we might 20 on and multiply
instances I'm which Browns Iron Btters
have purified the blood and put down the
pimples, and made the skin clear and the
eyes bright, and the digestion good and
the appetite hearty.
II Is the great blood purifying medicine
OF the present day. Ask your druggist
for 10, and give IL fair trial.
What more convincing proof can DO
given Of the efficacy OF this valuable rem
edy than good words for II from our citi-
zeus:
Mr. William Mccormick, mailing clerk
at the post Office, says ~ had been
troubled with dyspepsia for twenty years
aud the plainesl food disagreed with me.
