COLlC IN HORSES,


the Cause, Prevention and Cure of This
Frequently Fatal iilmcnt.
Collie is generally caused by the for
mentati0n Of undigested food in the
animals stomach. 1t was formerly
supposed that when the stomach had
performed It's function of digestinr a
meal, it remained inactive until time
for the next, but modern scientific
discovery has shown that such is not
the case. The flow of gastric juice is
never entirely suspended, and between
meals much Of the fluid portion of it is
absorbed, leaving u thick. adhesive
substance which coats whatever it
first comes in contact with. thereby
preventing the fresh gastric Juice from
doing lis work. If the horse is given
his grain first, he is usually very hun
cry and in his eagcrucss, especially If he
is compelled to shell his corn. he swal-
laws a great deal whole. This becom-
ing coated with the gelatinous sub
stance that Is in his stomach, remains
there undigcsted and ferments, produc-
ing carbonic acid gas, and as the horse
can not rid himself Of it by belching it
up, 1t must pass out by way of the
small intestincs, irritating them and
causing collie.
The best way Of preventing this that
l have been able to learn, is to make
the horse eat a little long feed before
him his grain. If he re-
fuses ii, let him go without the grain
until he does eat it; he will soon learn,
1t benefits him in three ways. First.
takes up the thick substance in his
stomach, which can do the hay or fod-
der no harm. Second, it starts the
flow of saliva in his mouth, which
helps the stomach greatly. Third, it
reduces his appetite to a point at
which he will chew his grain, instead
swallowing it whole.-G. q.
Remore, in Farm and FireSide.

difficult breathing; . tghtnsss across the chest ;
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres
encs Of that terrible disease which, unless checked
means certain death with long and painful suffer
ing.
In Wow Of such serious and ever-present facts
the suggestions and advice Of the most eminent
physicians Of the greatest value.
DR.. John Gardner, one Of the most eminent ply
sioians in London, says: Science. common sense,
Holy Scriptures and all experience testify to the
benefits derived from the use of pure whiskoy."
DR.. D. II. Barker says: 81 haye used snd exam.

DR.. 9. NJ. Buekwalter says: "Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky Is without doubt the invalid drink whom
cases require stimulsnts, and large per cent OF
the acute also"
These truths from the lips Of the leading scientific
men of the day. and confirmed by the experience
Of men and women well known in the community
should serve as . guide for all who feel the APP
proach Of consumption NO matter by what path II
may come. We do not hesitate to assert that any
man women who will use Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey according to directions can defy consump
ton and prolong life with all its blessings.

Sneezing Catarrh.

The distressing, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the
acrld, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, the painful Inflammation extending to
the throat the swelling of the mucous lining
causing choking sensations, cough, ringing
noises in the head and splitting headaches
how familiar these symptoms are to thou
sands who suffer periodically from head colds
or influenza, and who live in ignorance of the
fact that a single application of SANFORD's
RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH will afford in
Simultaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple
Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this
remedy will do in the chronic forms, where
the breathing is INSTRUCTED by choking, put
rid mucous Accommodations, the hearing al
fected smell and taste gone, throat u ,cerated
and hacking cough gradually fastening itself
upon the debilitated system. Then 1t is that
tue marvellous curative power of SANFORD's
RADICAL CURE manifests itself in instantan-
eOus and grateful relief. Cure begins from the
first application. 1t is rapid, radical, perma-
nent, economical, safe.

Seventeen-Year Locusts in Iowa and
Illinois.
CHICAGO, June 13.-Dispatches from
points in Northern Iowa and Western Hi
noIs report the appearance of swarms of
seventeen-year locusts. Prof. G. V. Riley,
United States EntOmologist, when asked
about the locusts said that well known
brood occurred this year, and this period
ical visitor mi yht be looked for in wooded
portions of Illinois aud Iowa, and also in
parts of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and
Pennsylvania. In reply 10 a question as
to whether the grasshoppers would be de-
structive this year, he could not express a
positive opinion. Up to three years ago he
had been able to confidently state the pros
poets in advance, but since then he had
been unable to get together sufficient data
as to the extent of egg deposit to justify
prediction. He had received a telegram
from the Office that the young were hatch
ing in immense numbers in parts OF Mime
sofa, and with weather favorable to them
considera ole injury may be done, especially
as the average period between visitations
has expired since the last troub es. One
thing he felt sure of, however, that they
would never do as much injury as between
the years 1878 and 1877.

a Brief Reign.

A bulletin issued an hour before the EN-
peror died said that he had been lying for
some time in light slumber, broken by
wakeful intervals during which he showed
distinct signs of consciousness. He gave
no indication Of suffering pain. HIS pulse
and breathing were very weak. There
had been no material change in his condi-
ton during the night.
The Empress did not leave the castle,
and at four o'clock resumed her watch at
the bedside of the Emperor.
Ali the members of the royal family and
the Ministers were present in the death
chamber at the Friedrichskron Palace at
Potsdam.
A Ministerial Council was held just be-
fore the Emperor died. Prince Bismarck,
who presided at the Council was much
agitated.
During the first part OF the night the con-
dition of the Emperor was comparatively
good. At midnight he sat for half an hour
in an arm chair and took some nourlsh-
ment.
At three o'clock there was an alarming
increase in his Majesty's weakness and the
relatives who had left the palace were
telegraphed to return.
