SCROEULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
lions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

Brown the seeds slightly, like coffee,
then grind and steep; when sufi-
GENTLY stepped drain clear of the
dregs and sweeten with rock candy
or lump sugar Let the little ones
drink freely of it at intervals
throughout the day, and especially
before retiring at night. In all
ordinary cases, where children are
properly cared for and kept in in bad
weather, no other medicine will be
required. 1t also has very loosen
ing effect ON hard, tight cough,
and thus it seems that even the des-
pissed sunhower is good for some-
thing. To any who are inclined to
be skeptical | would only say please
try it before you condemn. con-
slider it so excellent a remedy that

able portion of my kitchen garden
to the raising of sunhowers, that l

purposes.

How :: &C. Ca" CURED

By taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them in various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been terrible sufferer.
Last springh was one mass ofsores from head
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured Of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four Of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, Nj.

But the actual selling price OF steel
rails at American mills is $3l.5 80 a ton, or
$l1.50 less than the free trader says 1t
will be under protection. Now as we
make 2, loo, 900 tons a year of steel rails
here is a "tax'' Of "a, 81 900 u year,
which the the free trader declares our
manufactures are enabled by the tariff
to levy upon our railroads, but which
they do not collect. Who will assert
that American manufactures are not q
magnanimous set of men7 II they are
not too good to'liye there is a hitch in
free trade logic. The Railway Age o
July 20 contains a communication from
a correspondent in which he figures out
that a railroad with Its headquarters at
Chicago would lose nearly IS . ton by
buying English rails at S25a ton under
free trade instead Of taking American
rails at current prices. He shows that II
such a railroad sent a ton Of old rails to
England and brought back q ton Of En-
glish rails In exchange it would have to
pay 1854 in cash to cover the difference
in their value. But as 1t sends its rails
to an American mill and takes a ton Of
American rails to replace them it has Ii
pay but $l3. so to cover the difference"
