WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. ?, 1888.
A WONDERFUL POWDER

A story of surprising audacity is told
by some of the officers on the steamers
of both the Weems line and the York
River line. The tale deals with the
operations of slick stranger through
out the length and breadth of the
Northern Neck of Virginia. The
Young man in question had his stock
in trade based upon the gullibility of the
farmers nature, and, from all accounts,
his confidence in them was Dot mis-
placed, for he succeeded in his game.
The young man is described as being
good looking, OF smooth speech and de-
pertinent, and neatly dressed. Early
in the spring be made his rounds. he
would 60 to a farmhouse, and, after
gathering the household around him,
would discourse upon "the most won.
derful powder to Kill the potato bug
He carried big satchel, with num-
bers of small packages 10 it, all care
fully sealed. He would take out one
of these and, opening it, would snow q
powder. Not having potato bugs al
hand, ne would catch fly and sprinkle
it with the powder. The insect would
die.
The next step was to sell as many
packages as possible to the delighted
farmer. Each package was labeled
Guaranteed to kill potato bugs, if di.
rections are followed" The young
man carefully cautioned the buyer ~
leave the package shut until the fall :,
as If opened before the potato season
the powder would LOSE its strength. Re
would assist the farmer to place his pur-
chase away in the corner OF some dark
cupboard, and then departed, with the
good wishes or the household ringing IN
his ears.
Numbers OF these packages were
opened not a great while since, and this
is what they contsined: Two blocks OF
wood, one of which was perfectly plain,
and the other containg the directions
for killing the potato bugs. IL the cen-
ter of this latter block was small cir
Gle, and around this, burnt in the wood,
were the words. "Place the bug in the
center of this ring, hit bin with the
other block, and be will quickly die"
Everybody in northern Virginia says
that his neighbor bought the powder, "
but it is said that not person can be
found who will Gown up" to having
heen 9 purchaser.

How 1t Was stamped Out, After the
Modern Treatment Had Failed.
Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were
reported at Winneconne, Wisconsin,
and the schools we're closed.
OF the thirty-three cases twelve were
subjected to so-called modern treat
ment; four of the twelve thus treated
died, a death rate of 33 1-3 per cent
Mr.. ]. Ulrich, resident of Winnie
come, had observed the marvellous
success Muco-Solvent had met with and
in his enthusiastic way induced many
mothers to use it. His own family was
one OF the first infected, Muco-Solvent
being used to the exclusion of every
thing else with splendid results.
Compared with other treatments, its
success was SO very pronounced, that
Muco-Solvent was generally adopted,
with the result that by its use alone
the other twenty-five cases recovered,
not one proving fatal where MucoSol-
vent was depended on.
We recommend its presence in every
home, for all throat troubles. In avert
ing developments of diphtheria, scarlet
fever and Group, 1t is unequalled.
Upon receipt OF the price, 81 per
bottle, the Muco-Solvent Company, 1856

it, charges paid. This makes n SPLEEN

their locality, as 1t is backed by over
whelming and convincing testimony.
