What ails the young menl


Robert Garrett's father left him o fort
une of twenty millions. Hewas from child
hood reared in luxury; he received splen-
did education with an especial training into
thorough knowledge of railroad manage
ment and was expected to succeed his father
as a railroad king.
Within three years after the responsible
ties which his fathers death threw upon
him were assumed, he is reported broken
down man, with mind and health perma-
nently shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions Of money, who is reported
among the wrecks" His father, bred a
stone-mason, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain power,
so he became a great contractor, then a
railroad king and left half a dozen millions
for his son to dssipate. The young man is
success as a dissipator.
The founders of both of these great es-
tates were born in the most humble walks
of life. grew strong, mentally and physical
ly, by simple living and honest labor and
developed into financial giants. Their sons
were reared in the lap of luxury and devel-
oped into intellectual pigmies.
The great men Of our country have not,
as a rule, come from the elegant mansions
of the cities, but from the Log Cabins of the
rural districts. Simple ways Of living,
freedom from dissipation and enervating
pleasures, simple remedies for disease, eff
fective and which leave no poison In the
system. develop brawny, brainy men, who
compel the world to recognize their
strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log Cabin
remedies are the safest and surest for fam
lily use. Our grandmothers knew how to
prepare the teas and syrups Of roots, herbs
and balsams which drive disease out of the
system by natural methods and leave no
after i'll effects. The most potent of these
old time remedies were, after long and
searching investigation, secured by H. b
Warner of safe cure fame, and are now
put out for the healing of the nations" in
the Warmers Log Cabin remedies.

Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood

Letter from the Ex-Sheriff of Chau-

MAYvILLE. N. Y. d

MAYvILLE, N. Y, Dec. 2, 1855,
lam glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs,
that am able to endorse all the good things
that have ever been said about them, and
supplement these by saying that frankly
believe their value can not be estimated.
Their breadth Of usefulness is unlimited,
and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex-
ternal or internal, equals them in certainty
and rapidity Ihave used them at one time
for rheumatism, another for backache,
again for bronchitis, always with the same
result-a speedy cure.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DIR. Sherman named his great remedy
Priclsly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash Regulator" Curative" or
almost anything but Bitters, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tions of similar character. The name Bit
ters is misleading; it IS purely medicine,
and can not be used as a beverage.

WISE PRECAUTIONS.
How TO Check Scarlet Fever and Similar
Contagious Diseases.


The disease is highly contagious and
each case should be isolated if posi-
bic. The sick chamber should b. ex-
posed to the sunlight and well aired.
The furniture should be plain, such as
may be easily oleansed. No carpets
d. upholstery should be allowed. The
patient hould be nursed by one per-
son only. After recovery the con-
valescent should not mingle with
other p ersons for month at least. All
clothing and bedding used by either
patient or nurse should DO boiled Mt
least one hour, and such parts as can
not be boiled should be burned. Soap,
water. air and sunlight should be Law.
