EACHUS'
HOG CHOLERA.
CURE AND PREVENTIVE
Patented April p, 1SSS.)
G

To TIE PUBMc.-We wish to say that this
great and only remedy is not the result of any
chances, neither is il nOstrum for speculation,
but has been experimental with and thorough
~ tested for two years prior TO our purchasing
IT, The man who first used il was Moses
Frantz who had charge Of a herd of 300 hogs
in 1884. 800 of these died with cholera Mr..
Frantz and Mr.. Eachus experimental in every
conceivable manner to check the rayages of
the disease, diSsecting many dead hogs, and
compromising many prescriptions until they
happily hit upon a remedy. Before Mr.. Frantz
could put his remedy before the people he died
from blood poisoning, brought on by cutting
up dead hogs which had died with cholera.
| He left all his trilling worldly effects to Mr..
Eachus who had not the necessary means TO
put it before the public, and who was anxious
/ that some of his old friends should have il.
| When Mr.. Eachus came here we had little faith
in his cure, but, after testing it in many severe
cases at home notably, Mr.. Rhodes and Mr.
/ Felteberger became convinced beyond
! doubt that il was all he claimed for IL. Since
/ then we have used il in many severe cases,
and the result is before the public Not a sin
/ gle hog has died which we treated, and in no
case have any taken it when fed this remedy
1t will cure Hog Cholera it will prevent Hog
| Cholera. We have been at heavy expense
/ placing a cure before the people and now only
ask that they appreciate our efforts by giving
/ il a trial
1t will pay you to feed it if your hogs are

We commend the following to our friend
of the Shepherdstown Register: At Palatka,
Fla, on Friday afternoon, four boys, aged
between y and 16 years, crossed the river to
Harris Point to take bath. What befell
them is told in the Palatka Heroid:
"All went well until 12-foot alligator
suddenly rose within ten feet of them and
began to splash the water with its tail. Tom
Johnson. the largest boy, made a desperate
effort to gain the shore, but was oyertaken
whea within ten feet Of it by the alligator,
which caught him by the foot and was drag
ging Tom out into deep water again. The
other three boys were much frightened.
John Dodie struck out and dived under the
water, and coming mp to within two feet of
thsstrugglng boy, hejumpcd on the back
of the saurian and stuck both fingers in its
cv.S. when the alligator let the boys foot
loose. In the meantime the other two boys
had reached the shore John, who still had
the alligator under his control by binding it,
then cot Tom Johnson to lead the saurian to
the shore. which was successfully done.
Two hunters, who were on the shore, saw the
trouble. and when at close range emptied two
rife balls into the alligator's side, causing
instant death"

made to avert the accident, without avail.
Five coal hoppers ran over his body cutting
him in two.

had left the accomplishment Of it as legacy
to his sons, and that now the desired results

An EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown,-to-
day it is as common as any word in the
English language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by our
forefathers in times past. So it is with ner-
vous diseases, as they aud Malaria are in
tended to cover what our grandfathers called
Biliousness, and all are caused by troubles
that arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which is performing its functions
finding it cannot dispose of the bile through
the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
it off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can we'll appreciate cure.
We recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

HOG CHOLERA!

The disease gets its origin from a low order
of insect life-on and in the animal There is
in the medicine an ingredient which extermi-
mates insects and nits, both internally ond ex-
ternally.
The kidneys do not act properly, which is
also provided for.
Dissecting hundreds of hogs has shown that
modification always sets in before death, which
is prevented by an antiseptic. Ninety-seven
per cent. Of hogs afflicted are constipated. To
obyiate this, the medicine contains a laxative
and resOlvent.
In the other three per cent the bowels ore
found to be loose, which is overcome by the
Use Of Tincture of Opium with the medicine,
as per directions on the bottle.
The medicine also contains powerful tonic
to build up the debilitated condition of the hog.
PRICE, 500 PER QUART BOTTLE.

Our Relations with canada.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct 20-J A. Chapleau,
secretary of state, was banqueted by the
Workingmens Conservative association. He
ridicu'ed the idea of annexation, and said
that true Englishmen and true French Cana
dians would never permit it to take place.
Canada was destined to build up a
great nationality. He denied trying to bully
the Americans. He had opposed the southern
secession in Montreal, and was nearly
mobbed for his pains Sir John A. Mac
donald said there was no danger of war be-
tween Canada and the United States. He
felt hopeful of satisfactory settlement of
the fishery question. Canada is in a critical
period and must be cool. If the new treaty
cannot be negotiated Canada will revert to
the treaty of 1913, whose Interpretation she
is willing to submit to.
