REMEDY FOR BLIND STAGGERS.

A writer in the Savannah News
says: II know an excellent remedy
for blind staggers in horses given
me by an old gentleman who was
never known to lose case when
called in time, and often when all
thought it too late.
This is the remedy;
Zone and half ounce of gum
camphor dissolved in a half pint Of
whisky. Pour half of the mixture
in bottle, add about teacup of
water and drench the horse. Wait
about three hours and, if no better,
give the other half in the same way.
No water must be given to the horse
for six hours, but he can have any
thing to eat"
The same old gentleman never
bled for staggers, as he said the
cause was all in the stomach of the
animal"

The need Of "a variety of crops 20
furnish employment at all seasons
on the farm does not, or at least
need not, detract from the necessity
of making some one thing a special
ty. Every farmer should know all
that can we'll be known about some
crop or branch of his business, and
to this he should strictly devote his
attention. He may amuse himself
at odd times with other things, but
not so as to detract his attention
from his speciality. If he does this
he will probably make a success.
Trying to keep too many irons in
the fire would ruin business men in
any other avocation, and we do not
see why it should not be bad for
farming.--The Old Homestead.

TRUE SYMPATHY.

When one is afflicted with any
form of blood disease, he certainly
appreciates true sympathy. It
should be received, however. that
true sympathy does not consist in
saying, Il am sorry for you," but
the sympathy must be shown in
material way. Either get or recon-
mend remedy that will cure. This
is true sympathy. When the fair
skin is disfgured by blotches and
the complexion blemished by PIN
Piles, when unyieldlng sores, carbun-
cles and boils break out on the per-
son, when the blood impurities i'm
pail the digestive functions, when
the urinary organs show signs of de-
cay, when the lungs grow weak and
the whols system feels achy and fee
bly,, when the appetite fails, when
lite seems a burden and existence
painful, then will it be true sympa-
thy to recommend to the sufferer
use CT DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla,
for just so sure as daylight follows
darkness, will this remedy rid him
of his affections an9 restore him to
sound, robust enjoyable health. =

ECZEMA FROM CHILDHOOD.

When an infant my body broke
out all over with an eruption or rash
which became more aggravated as |
grew older. From early childhood
until was grown my family spent
fortune trying to cure me of the
disease. Every noted physician in
our section was tried or consulted.
When | came of age I visited Hot
Springs, Ark, and was treated there
by the best medical men, but was
not benefited. After that, under
the advice of a noted specialist, |
tried the celebrated Clifton Springs,
New York, without any good re-
suits. When all things had failed
/ determined to try S. s. s., and in
four months was entirely cured.
The terrible Eczema was all gone.
not sign left; my general health
blilt up, and have never had any
return of the disease. | have since
recommended S, S. S. to number
of friends for skin diseases, erup-
tons, ETC., and have never known
OF failure to cure.

row and sadness surrounding, as has
been indicated by Judge Henry, we can
drink IN some JOY in the memory of a man
whose life and character we might all imi-

the very day that death separated
him from his life companion, dread dis
ease surrounded him and with his strong
constitution he, fought inch by inch in the
tace.of death, until last Monday evening, SO
far as human eye can see, slight went out.
But he died as full of honors as of
years. And who would call him back to-
day2 Who would revive that brain, or
start again that heart? Life could give
him no more honors. For eighty-two years
he has toiled with life's troubles and trials.

is but proper that this motion should pre-
vail and all those who feel the sentiment

uttered by the various members of the bar

DEsCHUTEs WATERWAY.
"a waterway 400 feet wide and mile
and three-quarters long, from the southern
extremity of the harbor to the lower falls
ot the Deschutes, is earnestly recommended.
The land to be made upon either bank of
such waterway would afford excellent
and advantageous sites for manufacturing
establishments. To accommodate them,
a waterway affording plenty of room for
vessels 40 come and go, load and unload, is
essential. Moreover, the flow of the tide
up and down broad channel, Will flush
out all filth and impurities, and such a
waterway would to q certain extent serve
as settling basin to catch and hold the
greater part of the silt brought down by
the Deschutes, and SO keep it from filling up
the harbor below. The annual amount Of
this silt is small and it could easily be
dredged from the waterway every five or
ten years, as required.
The citizens were well represented before
the board, and there is no question but
that the argument will be faVorabIy con
sldered. One point which received close
attention was the extension of the harbor
to Fourth street. 1t was generally con
eeded that this would be preferable to
third street, inasmuch as commercial bus
mess wonld practically stop at Third
street. New maps will be presented in de-
tall Tor the consideration of the board of

pie were clearly stated
