Mrs. Barbara Heitzman, of Chillicothe,
Ross county, O., writes: 81 had been
lame in my right foot for three years. 1t
began with an abscess at the ankle, which
was cut by two of our best physicians,
and the bone scraped. They continued
treating me, and all that time yellowish
water was discharged out of the bone, as
well as matter. This continued one year,
then the doctors done some more cutting,
and cleaned out the sore. Small pieces
of bone were picked out of it; the evil
continued as before; no improvement.
then quit the doctors, and resorted to
linilnents and different remedies that were
recommended to me, but still the sore
kept running, discharging yellowish wa
ter, and became very weak, grew thin
ner every day, until I was nothing
but skin and bones. ShortlyS before
Christmas, last year, | was advised
to try PERUNA. When I had taken five
bottles the sore at the ankle discharged
thick, bloody matter, which gradually
changed to a thinner and lighter color,
until it discharged continuously yellow
ish water. My appetite became better,
looked batter, and began walking. I had
been two and a half years in bed when I
began taking PERUNA, have used ten
bottles in all, the sores are entirely
healed, and can walk anywhere without
my clutches. I also was troubled with
constipation and liver complaint, took
MANALIN according to directions, am
now cured of that difficulty, and enjoy
my meals. We have recommended your
medicine in the southwestern part of Ross
county. All who have used it say it is
the best medicine they.ever took" g
Mr.. Stith Evan, Cedarville, Ala, says:
81 have used your medicine, PERUNA,
and find it to be a good remedy. Will
lay in a stock for my customers"
James Heflley, druggist, Canal Win
chester, O., writes: 81 have sold quite a
lot of PERUNA. 1t gives splendid salts
faction. Peter Long, of Lithopolis, Fair
field county, O., Christ. Gayman and D.
Gayman, of Canal Winchester, O., are
among my customers, who claim PERUNA
to be the greatest medicine they ever
took"
A. Pancoast, druggist, Ashland, Ohio,
writes: 81 am selling lots of your Pc
RUNA. Customers speak of it as first
class medicine"
Ernest Schueller, No. 23I South High
street, Columbus, o., says II sell your
PERUNA; think it a good medicine. 1t
gives satisfaction"

As they rolled round the rink together,
He asked with winning smile.
"Will you take my arm, fair maiden ?"
And she said, II am not that style.
I have never made an acquaintance,
And surely will not to-day,
Except through an Introduction

just then she falls to the surface,
And thousand stars she sees,
And she murmurs, demure as kitten,

How TO KEEP CIDER SwEET.-Pure
sweet cider that is arrested in the process

acid or even alcohol, and with carbonic
acid gas worked out, is one of the most
delightful beverages. The Form, Field

scientific method of treating cider to pre-.

Upon her features so divine
There dwelt loving smile.

And from the tear-dimm'd eye
A depth of true affection shone-

To meet, perhaps, no more,
And deepest woe did there betide
That made me sad and sore.
For suddenly from off my feet,
Iquickly flew on high.
To land upon the cobbled street.
The night we said good bye.
I've fought upon the battlefield,
And crossed the raging main;
Their dangers, deep, to me revealed

But when it comes to parting scenes.
Iheave deep drawn sigh,
And think about those big fifteens-

DRY EARTH is an excellent absorbent of
manures, but 1t should be spread over the
top of compost heaps, and that very thinly
rather than mixed in with the MANURE
Earth in any shape is heavy handling, and
the less the quantity mixed with manures
the more easily they may be applied to

STRAWBERRY VINEGAR. Take the
quantity of berries desired. selecting those
that are fresh and fully ripe. Weigh them
and pour them into wide-mouthed jars or
bottles, pouring over them the best white
wine vinegar. After covering the Jars
tightly, set them away for three or four
days. Then drain off the vinegar through
q muslin bag, stirring into it, until nearly
dissolved, pound of crushed sugar for
each pint OF the liquid. Now put it into
an enameled saucepan and allow it to boil
gently for FIVE minutes, after which pour
it into another vessel and let it stand for
quarter of an hour; then after being
SKINNED thoroughly, it may be bottled

FARMERS
READ THE FOLLOWING !:

STAUNTCN, VA. May Goth, 1885,
am pleased to be able to speak fatorably of
fertilizer manufactured by MI Reeves Gait OF this
city.
After careful analysis I found it to contain
about the average percentage of phOSphoric acid
and potash of the best highgrade fertilizers of
market and an amount Of ammonia considerably
higher. In this fertilizer, the price falls several
dollars below its commercial value. This is point
greatly in its favor.
The commercial value must be understood to be
appreciated. 1t is value OF so much per pound
placed upon each constituent; take ammonia for
instance: A committee of chemists of the various
State Agricultural Experiment Stations, which
made these valuations, has placed value Of tWen-
ty cents per pound upon ammonia. Now let us
take this fertilizer; it contains upwards of three
per cent of ammonia. This would be over sixty
pounds to the ton, or value for ammonia
alone of more than twelve dollars per ton. The
sum of the value of the other constituents found
in the same way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling owing to its low percentage of moisture.

"Take common salt, roasted on a hot

off, or 1t is as dry as you can make it. To
a teaspoonful, and also a teaspoonful of
pulverized CASTLE soap, add a teaspoon
full of Venice turpentine, mix them we'll

you have ten felons at once make as many
poultices. Renew this poultice twice
day. In four or five days your felon will,
If not opened before your poultice is first
put on, present hole down the bone,
where the pent-up matter was before your
poultice brought it out. If the felon has
been cut open or opened itself, or is about
to take off the finger to the first joint, no
matter, put on your poultiee, it will stop
right there, and in time your lingers will
get we'll, even if one of the first bones is
gone. OF couIs it will not restore the
