tients have pains about the
chest and sidea, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; tho mouth has \
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort Of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is q
feeling like ! eavyl load on the
stomach; sometimes . faint, all
gone sensation at the pit ofthe
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, At first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with \ greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddine.s, q sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times ; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently =
splitting up Of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a swedish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation Of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
p.ostration and weakness. AL
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that ply
>:cians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc, .
etc, but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
gels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all it's stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.

SUDDEN HOSPITALITY.
How Two Tramps Got Square Mea.
 Without Asking for It.

A couple of tramps stopped at a farmhouse in West Tennessee during the yellow fever season. You can come in and drink all the water you want, said the farmer, but you neenter ask for any thing to eat, for you won't get it.
 The tramps looked at table that had just been set for dinner, and sighed.
 .You neenter sigh, said the farmer. fur you don git bite of that grub. Wy, we've got 'possum, don't you see; sweet potatoes, billed ham, curly mustard greens and three kinds of bread. l wouldn't twit you fellers, but the last tramp that come along here stole the only good set of harness on the place"
 "Don't put yourself to any uneasi- ness on our account, replied one of the tramps, flor We ain't hungry
 Not huagry!o the farmer ex- claimed.
 No; all we want is a place to sit down in the shade.

 A sudden scuffiing in the room caused the tramp to break off his nar- ration. The skirts of the farmers wife Tapped against the gate, and an old man lost his hat as he leaped into the road. The two tramps moved their chairs up to the table.

It is difficult to secure good winter layers from late birds, but for spring work they are fully equal to any others.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when Dr. sherman named his great remedy Pricltly Ash BITrEEs; but it is presumed that at that time all remedies for the blood, etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it Prickly Ash "RcguIator, ' !" Curative" or almost anything but ButcrS, 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.
