A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment OF disease. It
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment fother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these Incompatible cures now in
ciude disease ofthe lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
itv.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims Of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff lies prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.

. The principal value of sulphur is to

TIE discussion on the subject of dosing
growing animals with phosphate of lime,
has been whitfield down TO the formula
that, recourse should be had only to that
salt, when the ordinary rations appear
to be deficient in phosphates; and this de-
ficiency will be indicated by the defect
i've growth Of the animal, and its ten
dency to diarrh9a. The same land does
not always produce, in the course of
years, hay, straw, corn, etc., Of uniform
richness; the fields may be less manured,
or the season too dry, resulting in pro-
duce possessing a lower percentage in
phosphoric acid. Try, then, it is urged,

poor in phosphate; but good hay, and
even pea haulm, are very rich in it.

The Agricultural Society of Malchin,
in Mecklembourg, has discussed the
question: SIS 1t profitable to wash sheep
before clipping them?" The members
agreed with Agricultural Inspector Null
ler, that it was best not to wash before
shearing; it was less troublesome for the
farmer, and more agreeable and less ex-
pensive in clipping. The Inspector says
that the fleece loses, when washed,
so to go per cent. in weight, according
to the manner the sheep have been cared
for. Accepting that the unwashed fetches
only half the price of the washed fleece,
the money value ought consequently to
be reduced the moiety. In practice he
has not found this to be fact. Since
eight years the Basedow flocks have been
clipped unwashed, and each sleeps wool
realized fr. ~, while preceding eight
years, when the sheep were washed be-
fore being shorn, the fleece fetched fir.
10H. M. Muller, bearing in mind the
variations in the price of wool since 1870,
not the less estimates, that the unwashed
realizes only fir. II less than the washed
| fleece. One speaker affirmed that the
important saving by not washing sheep
was not appreciated as it should be, and
that good breeds, when well fed and
cared for, will not entail any pecuniary
loss-but on the contrary-if the wash
ing before shearing be abandoned.

to him. They became convinced dur

efforts to defeat the election
of Mr.. Lincoln were hopeless.

Thompson, "and would certainly re-
elect himself" and there was @no hope
but in force" The belief was enter
tanned and freely expressed that by o
bold, vigorous and concerted move
ment the three great Northwestern
States of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
could be seized and held. This would
naturally involve the accession of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky to the Confeder-
acy, and this, in sixty days, would end
the war; It was resolved to hold q
series Of peace meetings in Illinois for
the purpose of preparing the public
mind for such n revolt. The first of
these meetings was to be held at
Peoria, and ato make it q success,

furnished, and the meeting was de-

that the Niagara Falls conference

that the leading politicians conceived
the idea that Mr.. Lincoln could be
beaten at the ballot-box on such an
issue. aThe nerves OF the leaders, he
