Liver Complaint.
OFFICE OF J. w. CALDWELL,
RICHMOND, VA.

NICdMOND, VA.
Dear Sir,-For the benefit of persons
suffering from Chronic Liver Com
p.aint, l beg leave to call their atten-
ton to your vegetable preparation,
Nolandine." regard it as "chola-
gogue," combining alsotonic and reno
waiting properties, and in this respect
{ hering from any medicine I have
ever taken.
The effects Of your "Nolandine" in
my case, has been on the liver and Sc
oretions identical with calomel; at the
same time, entirely free from nauseating
and facilitating consequences follow
i.g the use of that mineral.
1 very chcerfully recommend your
"Nolandinc " for the diseases enumc-
r1ted on your circulars, and am convinc-
Cd from personal benefit derived from
It's use, that it must become stand
ard family medicine.
I am not alone in the very high esti-
mate place on "Nolandine," and trust
it will be universally known and be, as
it should be, the means of taking the
place of mineral preparations for that
class of diseases in which it has prov
cd SO successful and already gained such
areputation Hoping that ''Nolandine"
may reach all persons suffering from bill
ious arrangement ard prostration from
chronic diseases, am very respectfully
you.s, JOHN w. CAROWELL.

When horse is used Cor the saddle

which are in his immediate front.
This is done with the very best inten

and unwonted sights, and only to
leave q sufiiciency of vision where

ting, or rather having failed to notice,
that the eyes of the horse are exceed
inglv unlike our own. Our eyes are
set in the front of our heads, so that
if blinkers were fastened to our tenn
pies our range Of vision would be br;
slightly limited. But the eyes of the
horse are placed on the sides of the
head, and are rather prominent, so
that the animal can not only see on
either side, but by rolling his eyes
backwards, as we see in vicious

immediate rear. The effect of the
blinker is both physically and men.
tally INJURIOUS to the horse. In the
first place, especially when large and
brought near the eyes, it has the eft
feet OF heating them and hindering
the free passage of air over them. La
the next place, it causes the eyes to De-

duces a most injurious strain on the
delicate muscles. We know how
painful sensation is felt when we
are obliged to strain our eyes either

guards lies in the remarkable structure
which is properly termed the "haw,"

double duty of shielding the eye from

Young girls are as nature made
them, and very sweet they are. too,
in their quaint dresses, showing the
plump chest and rounded arms. Pages
could be written about their charms.
What dear, dainty little dolls they are!
Such white teeth, rosy lips. and coy
smiles! Who shall describe them? and
what next2 a kiss, perhaps! Not

do. They don't know how. actually
don't know how. and even peasant
girls are closely guarded.
Fancy young man III cotton kimo-
no and wooden clogs stealing chance
to walk with his best girl under the
blooming cherry trees, explaining the
consultations and quoting sentimental
poetry; telling her that "he hung
upon her eyelids, that her voice was
like a temple gong" in fact, that he
loved but her alone, and then making
her several formal bows at the door of
her fathers straw matched hut as they
parted in the moonlight Can any
American lover stretch his magma
ton far enough to believe in sweet
heart not kissing those pretty lips,
paint and all, by sort of natural SC
fection?"
NTis a melancholy fact. but Japan
csc has no such impulse. No lover
courts his mistress with sweet per-
suasive kisses" No mother kisses her
baby as she cuddles it against her be-
som. Parting husband presses the
hand of his wife and bends his fore
head to the mats in sad farewell.
Our salutations run through the ere.
