ANOte Of Warning TO Suffering
Humanity.

We feel that we would be want
ing in the duty we owe to suffering
humanity If we did not sound a
note of warning in regard to the
use of Mercury and other poison
Gus minerals in the treatment of
Blood and Skin Diseases. II the
reader could see the horrible suffer
ing, the awful wrecks of human
health and happiness, shown by
our correspondence with those who
have been dosed with these mineral
poisons, he would shudder with
horror. Arsenic, Mercury, Anti
mony, and Iodide of Potassium are
some Of the remedies most ordiua-
rily used for these diseases, and
they are all Poison. Do not take
these poisons. They might dry up
your disease for a few days,
and with it you will have
Mercurial rheumatism, which
may bring you years Of torture.
The Mercury seems to sink into
the bones, and the Potash drives
the Poison into the system, only
to lurk there and attack tina tender
organs OF the body, as the lungs,
the throat, the nasal organs and
stomach. Hundreds of people
have been made deaf, and a great
many blind. by the use Of Mercury
and Potash. Beware OF Mercury
and Potash Mixtures gotten up in
imitation of our Specific. A few
grains of sugar of lead dropped in
to glass of these limitations will.
cause the poisonous drugs to fall TO
the bottom, and show the danger
of using them. Swift's Specific is
entirely vegetable, and is the best
tonic for delicate ladies and chill
dren and old people IN the word.

One of the most common sources
Of disease in farmers families is to
be found in the cellars under their
houses, filed With half decaying
vegetables, the odors from which
rise and fill every room. In some
cases these cellars are never en-
tirely cleaned from one years end
to another. If entirely dry po-
tatoes and apples In limited supply
may be stored in cellars, but they
should be we'll looked after and
decaying specimens removed as
fast ss found. II the cellar is not
dry at all seasons, not only should
no vegetables be kept in it, but the
house above should be considered
nninhabitable until it is made dry.
The farmer himself may not be-
come sick, but his wife and family
almost certainly will, on account
Of being within doors so large a
proportion of the time. The house
well is very often prolific cause
Of disease. During the past few
months wells have been low in
many parts of the country, aud the
result has been an unusual amount
Of sickness in country places
Drinking the water down almost
20 the bottom of the we'll families
have taken in a larger proportion
than usual Of its impurities. Most
old wells need thorough cleaning.
In fact, all wells should be cleaned
a. often as once IN three or four
years. Now while the water is low
is the best time to do this work.
When done many will be surprised
at the amount Of filth removed
from wells, the water of which they
have perhaps been drinking fol-
years.

FARM AND FlRESlDE.
An old Farmers Experience
with Cattle.

The farmer wants to know, not
so much what is absolutely the
best feed, but what is moSteconom-
ical-something good and sub
stantial, and not too expensive,
which he can raise on the farm.
Corn fodder when properly cured
and stored makes good feed, but If
1t is left in the field, or long ex-
posed to the weather, it is scarcely
worth the labor of cutting and
shocking, particularly if the wealth
or has been wet. Wheat straw is
not very nutritious food for cattle,
but as most farmers raise wheat, 1t
is a good plan to have plenty OF
straw well stacked, to which the
cattle, during winter, may have
free access, and let them eat what
they will. About the best and
cheapest food for cattle is good
timothy hay, with occasional feeds
Of corn. Glover hay may DO fed
to cattle with good advantage.
Turnips and pumpkins, where they
can be successfully raised, make
good feed for fall and early winter.
Potatoes, either raw or cooked,
make good feed, and the small
ones cannot be used to better ad.
vantage than by feeding them to
cattle. Potato and apple Feelings
mixed with bran or meal, make
good food, particularly for mich
COWS. Cattle, IS well as other
farm animals, appreciate good
treatment, mich cows in particu-
lar do 80, and should always be
treated kindly, and even petted.
They will very soon learn to
recognize those who are kind to
them, will take from the hand al
most everything in the way of food,
and seem to relish whatever is
offered, simply because it is given
BY a known friend. The writer
has often seen pet cows eat bread,
pies, lettuce, tomatoes, and other
thirgs from the table, and even
drink sour milk, when offered by a
Recognised friend. Cows should
always be MIXED by some one who
Ia naturally kind and gentle, and
90 far as may be, by the same per
son-never by any one who is
excitable, peevish, or impatient.
