Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.


Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungswere so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing) was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and l
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters"
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhoea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara.
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Pric,Sl.c"

The Value CT an Egg.

Eggs are not only the most delicate
of esculents, but are fine for the sur
geon, especially when a professional
is not near. For burns or scalds it
surpasses the most of our remedies.
The white of the egg should be pour
ed over the place, or better, if the
skin can be separated from the shell
and the burn covered with it, moth
ing soothes the pain quicker. 1t beats
collodion, and is always at hand. 1t
is more cooling than sweet oil and
cotton. 1t excludes the air perfectly,
and that is what causes burn.
In the same way it will, taken in
time, cure a bad case of fiux or dys-
EMERY. 1t forms an emollient coat
for the mucus membrane of the
bowels, and thus relieves the inflam-
nation and intense burning. To cure
that disease beat up the egg and swal-
low one every half hour or hour. AT
the same time beat one up with
cream and inject into the bowels. 1t
will very soon relieve the tenesmus
and effect cure, if not too far gone.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S august
FooCer and BOSchee'S German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-tifth
more medicine in the IS cent size.
The Aegetst F2ower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and
village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.

A Country Lawyer in Washington.

"Not long ago lawyer from one
of the western states, who had never
visited Washington before, came here
to argue case before the supreme
court" writes the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Traveller.
"He created a sensation which made
the chills creep up and down the
backs of the venerable justices who
had listened to him. When he came
into court he wore red flannel shirt,
coarse wooden clothes and cowhide
boots. His hair had not seen the
scissors for several seasons, and the
razor was a stranger to his face. At
first he was taken for crank, but
when the case was called, the court
soon found out that he was a man of
ability. The question at issue in
volved patent suit, and was quite
intricate and complicated. 1t took
the country lawyer two days to argue
the case, and finally won it. After
adjournment on the first day one of
the court officers suggested that a
white shirt, collar, cuffs, and cravat
would make an Improvement in his
personal appearance. The lawyer
told him that he didn't own one.
The next day, however, he wore a
paper collar about the width of an
ordinary cuff pinned on to his red
shirt"

It Pays to be Honest.

A nice little story comes from
Maine about young lawyer and a
rich man from Philadelphia, who
met him at Poland Spring. The rich
man wanted to send some one on
whom he could rely to Europe. He
liked the young mans appearance,
and proceeded to put his honesty to a
peculiar civil service examination.
After gaining his confidence, he told
him of a plan he had for making
money in a short but very dishonest
method. The young man declined
being a party to any such arrange
ment. The old man pleaded that
scores of men occupying high posi-
tions today had made their start in
precisely such a way. The young
man was as firm as arock. The young
man is now on his way to Europe to
attend to the business of the rich
Philadelphia.

A Foolish Undertaking.

n. y. Sun.
Away out on the Pacific coast a
poor, weak man sought to disprove
the allegation that women by choice
always sit down on the floor or
ground to put on or off shoes and
stockings. He placed some benches
on the beach, where a number of
young ladies were in the habit of
going occasionally to wade in the
water. They came and gleefully
took possion of the benches, but when
they made up their minds that they
wanted to wade, down they all sat
on the ground to unlace their shoes.
Next day this poor, weak man had
his servant spread broken glass, oys-
ter shells, ETC., on the beach, and then
waited to see the girls at wading time
industriOusly clear away the stuff
until they had room enough to sit
down. Then he went away and
marveled.

Milk as an 0dor Absorbent.

Scientific American,
Those dairymen who do not be-
lieve in the power of milk to rapidly
absorb and become contaminated by
surrounding noXious smells will do
well to try the following simple test,
the result of which will, doubtless,
Immediately convince the most skep-
teal: Take a wide bowl or soup
plate to the COW stable when you go
to milk; pour into it pint of fresh
milk, set it on the floor or at the
height of a milk stool so as to expose
it fully to the air Of the stable, be-
hind and close to the cows. If the
day is close and heavy and the milk
is cold, and the stable not cleaned out
and aired, the result will be surpris-
ing. Take it to the house or any
where away from the stable, and try
to drink it.
