Tiers is a Cure for Everything.
EACHUS'
HOG CHOLERA.
CURE AND PREVENTIVE!
Patented April p, 1SSS.)

Sd
To THE PuBLc.-We wish to say that this
great and only remedy is not the result Of any
chances neither is it a nostrum for speculation,
but has been experimental with and thorough
ly tested for two years prior 10 our purchasing
1t. The man who first used It was Moses
Frantz, who had charge of a herd of 300 hogs
in 1884. 500 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 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 trifling worldly effects 10 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 II.
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.
Feltebergers-we became convinced beyond
doubt that il was all he claimed for il. Since
then we have used it in many severe cases,
and the result is before the public. Not sin
gle hog has died which we treated and in no
case have any taken il when fed this remedy
Cholera. We have been at heavy expense
placing a cure before the people, and now only
ask that they appreciate our efforts by giving
it a trial
1t will pay you to feed it if your hogs are
well. 1t will kill every manner of louise, insect
life in hog, trichinae not excepted twill kill
every nit and louise on the hog. 1t twill cleanse
your hog of scruff or mango. 1t will increase
the appetite five-fold. 1t is just what every
hodv has bepn looking for
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-seyen
per cent. of hogs afflicted are constipated To
obviate this, the medicine contains laxative
and resolyent
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 debiitated condition of the hog.
PRICE, 500 PER QUART BOTTLE.
JONES & ER-Gentlemen-I have used
the patented Hog Cholera preventive with
successful effect. Itisan excellent remedy and
certainly public blessing.

lot" and Julius Caesar"

Nothing can deprive Friday night OF its
claim as the distinctly fashionable evening
at the theater. Custom has made II so,
and the fashionable set has perpetuated it.
1t cannot, however, be claimed that the
audience last night was custom-made; il
was genuine outpouring OF the most in
telligent and cultivated people OF the COM
munity.
: Those who have eschewed amusements
for years, those whose cultured and
dramatic instincts have kept them
from the mediocre plays, could not
resist the temptation to witness one
OF Booths most striking representations
--"Shylock," the rcvengeiul jew.
The light vein of comedy running through
the Merchant OF Venice" received It's
fullest appreciation no less than the tragic
woes Of the wronged Jew. While the APP
plause was not general and not enthusi-
aitic, IT was from no GOODNESS nor lack of
interest-thc tension upon the feelings was
too strong to be demonstratively expressed.
Standing room only was to be had when
the curtain rose, every seat, both below
aud in the dress circle, being occupied.
There were present men and women who
had seen Booth twenty years ago when
he began his triumphant career
they were there again last night
with their sons and daughters,
who for the frst time behold the great
hagedian. IL was II tribute TO the great
actor OF which he might well feel proud.
The fact that the orchestra was entirely
removed in order 10 meet the demand for
extra seats indicates the strong interest
in last nights performance. The dress
circle, usually deserted ON regular nights,
was filed with ladies and gentlemen who
were not fortunate enough TO secure seats
ON the lower floor. All four boxes were
occupied as follows
BOX A-Mr. and Mrs !. McD Massy, Mr.. aud
Mrs &. II. farnsworh, Mr. N. Mcdowell, Miss
