DEXTER, TEXAS. March 1G, 1856.
BLOOD BALM Co.: It.i is a great pleasure to
us to state to you that your B B. B. takes the
lead of all purifiers in this country. on account
of the cures it has Effected since we have hand
/ d it. We had a case of scrofula in our neigh
borhOod, of long standing, who had used all
patent medicines which were recommended to
him; besides this, he also had several doctors
attending him, but everything failed to effect
any good. He grew worse every day. and had
not left his bed for the last six months. We had
seen him several times in our little town, though
it has been more than fifteen months since we
asst saw him, and we suppose this was the last
time he was liable to come TO town, as he lives
about eight miles in the county. His name is
Servenka, and we got a neighbor of his to per-
suade him to try b. B. B. and. after using only
N BOTTLE he left his bed for the first time in
six months.
To the present time he has used less than
three bottles, and he is walking around visiting
his friends in the nighborhOod. He has gained
strength and flesh rapidly. All scrofulous sores
are healing finely, and you never saw a happier
man than he is. Nearly everybody for miles
around has heard of this wonderful cure, aud all
VINO need a blood remedy call for the B, B, B..
We had a case of nasal catarrh in orr own
family "a little girl four years old, who has been
using B. b. B. for about two weeks, and already
seems to be about well.
We have only three bottles left, and want Won
to ship us six dozen bottles.
We take pleasure in recommending B. B r
as a medicine worthy of the emit re confidence
Lne pubic. Its action IS more rapid shan anv
blood remedy we ever handled. "'

she choked it down and suffered his words

clad in black, but was not in widows dress.
She fell upon her knees and almost smothered
Mignon with kisses.
''Mignon! MignonI' she cried.
"Mignon has been very kind to Bottles
Mignon explained, not knowing whether to
laugh or cry.

asked at last.

"You might say" said Boobies, severely,
that you are very sorry that you, a mar

away. You might say that, for one thing"
But I am not sorry" cried Mignon's

there is inspiration in them not all tine phil

THE MANUFACTURES or POISON.
Extraordinary Quantities Made Mystery
of Their Employment "A Question.

Extraordinary Quantities Made-Mystery
[Chambers' Journal
Not the least interesting Of many curious
features connected with the production and
consumption OF certain poisons Is the ex-
traoriinary quantities that are In some in
stances manufactured. What becomes Of
themP It is comparatively easy to under
stand what is implied by 1000 Winchester
quarts of chloroform and 1000 or even TO-
900 ounces of morphia; but what Of poison
like chlorali
1t has already been stated that chloral is
at present being manufactured by the hun
dredweight This, however, as a matter cf
fact, falls far short of the reality, as one
German manufacturer recently ad Omitted
the production of half ton weekly In his
laboratory alone. There ia no recognized
outlet for the consumption Of this sub
stance saving that of internal admins
tration, and we confess the imagination
gets baffisd in endeavoring to estimate the
hundreds of thousands Of pain-stricken
weary mortals who must swallow an i'm
men @ number OF half tons weekly, in doses
of twenty or thirty or at the most forty
grains each.
A number of years ago something little
snort of panic was occasioned by atten-
ton having been called to the fact that
strychnine was being manufactured in
enormous quantities, 1000 ounces having
been known to be purchased at one time
What became of this extraordinary guam
titles was the question that not unnaturally
seized the public mind. AS medicine its
use is necessarily very limited, while its in
discriminate sale or employment as destruc-
tive agent for vermin-the only other legit-
innate purpose to which it is known to be
appled--is restricted by legislative enact
ment The mystery of the quantities in
which it was being manufactured was only
partially solved by the suggestion that it
was probably destined for the colonies, to
assist in exterminating vermin there

Rolling over fair roads into the village of

disburden the bicycle of its covering of

around several times and eyes the proceed
ings with glances Of genuine disapproval,

at me.
A dampness about the knees, superinduced
by wheeling in rubber leggins, causes me to

ask in the purest English the privilege of

hurries out, soon returns with her highly ac-

situation, forthwith tenders me the loan of
his Sunday pantaloons for the evening,

Moist Air and Fog.

It has recently been demonstrated
that in perfectly moist air no forma-
ton of fog is possible, however much
the temperature is lowered, as long as
the air is absolutely free from dust, and
that the more air, sufficiently moist, is
charged with such foreign particles,
the more intense is the formation of
fog. If filtered and completely moist
air IN glass ball have its pressure di-
minished, soon few particles of fog
will reveal themselves by the most care
full inspection. But if a few cubic milli-
meters of ordinary. house air be now
admitted into this filtered air, very
fine silvery, transparent fog at once
forms itself, of such slight density that
even in the case of considerable area
of it the transparency of the atmos-
phere would be but very slightly af-
fected. At the first moment of its
formation, if a reflected image of the
sun or the reflected light of an electric
lamp be viewed through it, the image
will be seen surrounded by an intensely
luminous blue or greenish iight.--N

In this State, and others OF the

next spring-to set out strong willow
cuttings, Is to 20 inches long. on
enough of the moist, narrow strips oi
marsh land to raise wood lots for Iuei

There was temporary doubt at firss
about preventing the newly SET GUY

by the rank growth of natural grsss
and weeds produced on this slough
soil. But on consideration it Is foune J,
that mulching with coarse manure, oia !
