DR.. keeiey's Grip Cure.

DR.. Kelley, the discoverer of the
,"Keeley Cure" for drunkenness, an
nounces the following cure for ;he
grip:
"No person need die of grip; not
only that, but no one need ever be
sick enough from the grip to go to
bed or quit his usual occupation.
Assafaetida, in doses of sixteen
grains, administered four times a
day, will completely break up The
worst case of grip at any stage of its
development. Not only will ASA
fetlda cure the grip in its primary
form, but it will break up many of
the complications arising from it.
1t is as absolute specific for grip
as quinine is for ague. A partic-
ularly valuable quality of this speci-
fic is its cheapness, simplicity and
harmlessness. No matter how
many grains you may take in a day
it will not hurt YOU"

agricultural paper at one dollar per
year, too tired to write for free
agricultural publications, paying
twenty dollars per ton for that stuff
and packing it over his fields.
Which is cause, which consequence?
you say. And yet | actually found
an agent intent ON selling this stuff,
not so strong in plant food as good
soil, and only by considerable talk,
dissuaded him, probably saving the
county several thousand dollars
thereby. Now, who is most to
blame for such things; the men
who are too lazy to get and examine
the bulletins printed for them, yes,
and paid for by them, or the other
fellow? A given brand is not nee
essariiy fraudulent because it is low
grade, but 1t ought to be bought at
its comparative worth, and it is
generally poor policy to use them
even then, for hauling home and
applying is more in proportion to
the food secured. Take Orchilla
Quano for example. have noticed
II ply value for number of years
and two or three times have sat
down and written to the dealers
who were handling them in this
section, expostulating with them,
but each time before sending, have
torn the letters up, thinking | had
enough to do to run my own affairs.
Now as to some of the best
brands. Phosphoric acid is OBJ
tanned either from fish or animal
bone. By some freak of nature
ages Tor days, as the Bible puts it)
before man came upon the earth,
vast accumulations Of fish bones
became solidifed IN beds like coal,
and like that mineral, these beds
are now being mined. The
first to be largely worked was
at Charleston, South Carolina,
hence the name, South Carolina
rock. When this rock is ground
and dissolved with sulphurc acid,
there is no great difference between
its value and that of animal bone
treated the same way. The sui
phuric acid is of no use except to
make the bone at once available to
plants, neither does it do any harm,
Perhaps | should not say it is Of no
use either, for it combines with the
lime of the bone, making gypsum,
or land plaster, which is valuable
both to retain moisture and also
toabsorb and hold, till the plants
need it, any nitrogen that might
escape into the air. OF course it
will be seen that simple ground
bone will last longer than dissolved
because it cannot be eaten so fast
by the plants, but more must be in
the soil to have the same effect.
The dissolved rock is at present the
cheapest source o. phosphoric acid.
With this rather lengthy prelude
we would name the best brands as
found at the Station this year, but
this article is already too long and
we shall have to leave that TIL next
week. Meantime, we were about
to invite readers to ask questions to
what was not made plain. but there
are two objections to that. LIST,
the farmer with get.up enough to
write us a postal with his questions
takes an agricultural paper, gets all
the bulletins and knows more about
it than the writer, probably. end
the other chaps are like babies,
willing to go without what can not
be fed to them with a spoon.

Prosperity pepe.den. upo. Rivers.

What would happen to the world il
the rivers were to dry up? The North
american waters are said 70 have been
in process of drying up for the past
six or seven years. The water about
Montreal is some four feet below its
depth this time last year. IL the St.
Lawrence and its tributaries should fail
as much more next year, Canada would
be almost untenable. But this. we
may venture TO predict. is not going TO
occur. The conditions as they are
are sufficiently distressing. Our most
vital interest in Canada is the for
warding interest Without il, MoE-
treal would disappear as Palmyra did
when caravans took another route, and
would probably, after similar lapse
of time, show far less worthy ruins
to mark the spot where once il was.
Our grain is for the present damned
back in the canals, the steamships COM
ing to carry it off are tearing their hulls
on unusual rocks and getting laid up.
Most interesting is the commission of
the science department of McGill uni
yersity to measure the overflow of the
river at what we would fain hope is
the lowest point it Will reach in our
day. 1t has been a singulsrly bland
and bright autumn, the finest we have
ever known, but let US be thankful it
