DR.. JOHN A. WARDER, eminent Ohio pomoIogist
writing in late number of the Cncnnatus upon the de-
cadence of orchards in this country gives the prominent
causes of failure in the following:


SUMMARY-In this essay have passed in rapid re-
vew with occasional amphfcatons the chief causes
OF the premature decay of apple orchards which may be
attributed to want of proper selection and preparation of
the soil; to neglect of cuvaon to exhaustion of the
soil; to want of judcously applied under the
guidance of analyses that indicate the special or
pantfood required to excessive frutage and early mat
rty of the tree to old age to the effects of grating and
of bad stocks to breeding trees for fruit rather
than for hardness vgor, and wood growth to sickly
sorts being prOpagated to cold and sudden alterations to
excessive humidity to diseases in the trees and fuit
the of insects of various kinds upon the trees and
fruit and, lastly to bad and njudicous pruning With all
these evils to which orchards SO generally sub
ected it is not surprising that should often find them


state of premature decay that should hear CON-
plants of their being longer protable but who would
expect crop of of wheat to be remunerative
under similarly unavorabIe circumstances or when SUBJ
ected to such bitter neglect No sensible farmer surely"


Of these thirteen of decay at least nine simply
due to the shftess management of orchardists They
to forget that good tree cannot be made out of bad
materials unsuitable SOIL without manure and in spite
OF destructive pruning They ignore the first dictates of
common sense in their systems of management and of
course suffer the consequence-Erchange paper.

HOLLowAY's PILLS AND OINTMENT.-E Exercise your Judgment-A newer and better philosophy. To pull down all absurd and antiquated notions of disease and it's and to establish rational system on the ruins has been the chief endeavor of Dr. Holloway through life, hence the origin of his celebrated Pills and Ointmeut-remedies iu keeping with common sense because subservient to nature rather than at variance with her laws like those in general use. To the stomach-we trace dyspepsia, headache and general debility to the liver, bile, jaundice, and yellow fever to the bowels, diarrhea, dysentery, constipation piles and fstula; to the lungs, consumption, &c, to the blood scrofula, scurvy and all cutaneous eruptions. By keeping these organs and the vital fluid pure and healthy, we may safely defy the at- tacks of dis ease and medicine yet prepared for this purpose can equal the action of these Pills and Ointment, as they dive to the seat of the dis order and by extirpating its cause destroy it effect

NERVOUS DISORDERS. .-w What is more fear N full than breaking down of the nervous system To be excitable ornervotls ill smell de- gree is most distressing, for where can remedy ne found! There is one :-drink but little beer, wine, or spirits or far better, none take no cof fee, weak tea being preferable; get all the fresh ar you can take three four Pills every night eat plenty of Solids, avoiding the use of slops and Ii these golden rules followed you will be happy in mind and strong in body and forget you have any nerves

 MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERs.-If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so fa- nous it is their purifying properties, especially their power of cleansing the blood from all impu. rities, and removing dangerous and suspended se- cretions. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for female complaints they never fail, never weaken the system, and always bring about what is required.

 SICK HEADA6HEs AND WANT OF ArpErrE- These feelings which so sadden us, most frequent ly arise from annoyances or trouble from obstruc- ted precipitation, or from eating and drinking what is unfit for us thus disordering the liver and sto- mach These organs must be regulated if you wish to be we'll. The Pills, if taken according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both liver and stomach, whence follow q natural consequence, good appetite and a clear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any other medicine is used for these disorders.

 DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEys.-ln all diseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be af- fiCted with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains settled in the loins over the regions of the kidneys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ointment should be we'll rubbed into the small of the back at bed time This treatment will give almost immedi- ate relief when other means have failed.

 FOR SToM.cHs OUT OF oRDER.-No medicine will so eectually improve the tone of the stomach as these Pills they remove all acidity occasion ed either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver and reduce it to healthy action they are wonderfully effcacious in cases of spasm in fact they fail in curing all disorders of the liver and Stomach

Sealed up where holicst visions sleep,

Though thou may'st test, sew rely test

Though hope be exilcd from my breast

Yet will it live, undimn'l, unchanged
The fountain deep concealed
