Ague.—This well-known and preva- 
lent malarial disease may be prevented by 
keeping the biliary organs in healthy 
operation and the secretions pure, by 
that superb tonic and liver regulator, 
Burdock Blood Bitters. 
Asthma.—The symptoms of this dis- 
tressing disease are tightness across the 
chest, difficult,breathing, and a whedzing 
noise accompanying respiration, worse at 
night or after retiring. During the par- 
oxysm the tincture of Lobelia, given in 
teaspoonful doses with sweetened water 
every quarter or half hour, is considered 
specific, or Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil 
should be freely rubbed over the throat 
and chest, and taken in doses of 20 to 30 
drops, or more if necessary, to keep * the 
bronchial tubes free, and to render ex- 
pectoration easy, after the immediate 
paroxysm is over. Climates should be 
chosen where the air is dry, pure and 
bracing. 
Abscesses are large sores or cavities 
In the flesh containing pus, caused by 
inflammation, and are often of Scrofu- 
lous origin, liable to locate upon any por- 
tion of the body, and when upon the 
brain are suddenly fatal. Psoas Abscess 
or Hip Disease is one of the most serious 
varieties. Burdock Blood Bitters is Na- 
ture’s true specific for all tainted with 
Scrofula or impure blood, and should be 
resorted to without delay. Sores difficult 
to heal, however trifling they may seem, 
should not be neglected. Ulcers, Old 
Sores, Fever Sores, and all similar 
yield directly to Burdock Blood 
Bitters. Read the cases of Rev. Wm. 
Stout, Alonzo Plowe, Geo. M. N land, 
ind others. 
Liver Complaint.—It is the office of 
the Liver, the largest gland of the body, 
to secrete the bile, which is Nature’s 
proper cathartic. The Liver, in common 
parlance, acts as a sieve to cleanse 
impurities from the blood. During any 
irregularity of its action or suspension of 
its functions the bile is liable to overflow 
into the circulation, giving rise to Jaun- 
dice, a sallow complexion, yellow eyes, 
suad causes many very unpleasant and 
troublesome complaints. Liver Cora- 
plaint, as it is commonly called, may be 
known by this and other signs, such as 
pain in the region of the shoulders, irreg- 
ular action of the bowels, headache, 
faint or sick stomach, alternate costive- 
ness and looseness of the bowels, bad 
taste in the mouth, capricious appetite, 
etc. Treatment: The system should be 
aroused by thorough action of the bow- 
els to carry off the overflow of bile, by 
full doses of Burdock Blood Bitters. 
This great system regulator should be 
perseveringly used and proper attention 
given to the diet. Fat meats arid greasy 
food, hot biscuits, pastry, pickles, and all 
indigestible or highly stimulating food or 
drinks should be avoided, including tes. 
and coffee. Ripe fruits may usually be 
taken, and mild acids, such as lemon 
juice or orange, will generally be bene- 
ficial. Burdock Blood Bitters constitute 
the great key to health, in all Liver on 
Biliary Complaints. 
Boils, Blotched Face, Pimples and 
Eruptive Diseases of the Skin are 
caused by impure blood, errors of diet, 
want of cleanliness, neglect of keeping 
the pores of the skin open, etc. The 
general health should be attended to, 
proper bathing, careful diet, avoiding 
greasy food, and keeping tire bowels, skin, 
and kidneys in their proper functions ar e 
the great auxiliaries to health. Burdock 
Blood Bitters is the best blood purifier 
known, eliminating all foul poisonous 
humors from the system. This great 
KEY TO HEALTH unlocks all the dogged 
secretions of liver, bowels, kidneys and 
skin. 
Erysipelas is a blood disease com- 
monly affecting the face, neck, etc., 
known by burning, inflammatory redness 
of the skin, with puffy swelling, shiver- 
ing,' languor, headache, nausea, etc., 
caused by debility, too free use of stimu- 
lants, bad air, exposure to cold, improper 
food, etc. Treatment: Burdock Blood 
Bitters to cleanse the blood. For a local 
application, a thin paste of starch, ap- 
plied cold, or a poultice of cranberries, 
excludes the air and is very cooling and 
grateful to the sufferer. In deep seated 
or Phlegmopious Erysipelas, painting 4

5 
with Tincture Iodine is curative and pre- 
vents spreading of eruption. The bow- 
els must be kept free and the diet light 
and cooling. Malignant Erysipelas is a 
very dangerous disease, and medical 
skill should be consulted. 
Salt Rheum, Ringworm, Tetter, 
Exzema, Scald Head, etc., are trouble- 
some diseases of the skin and blood, and 
are curable even in their most obstinate 
form by our Burdock Blood Bitters, 
which thoroughly and effectually purifies 
the blood and regulates all the secretions 
in the most perfect and natural manner. 
Constipation is an effect rather than ■ 
a disease—the result of irregularity in 
the system, error of habit, or diet. Still, 
a torpid condition of the bowels should 
never be suffered. When the bow- 
els become clogged with foecal mat- 
ter, the general health is sure to be seri- 
ously impaired, giving rise to impure 
blood, headache, piles, fistula, and many 
serious disturbances. An inactive state 
of the liver is sure to lead to costiveness. 
The bowels, in connection with the skin 
and the kidneys, constitute the grand out- 
lets for impurities of the system hnd the 
channels by which diseases are expelled. 
All strong drastic and repeated purgatives 
should be avoided, as they tend to debil- 
itate the already weakened condition of 
the bowels. Injections of tepid water, 
with a little castile soap, or molasses, or 
oil, may prove beneficial, but Burdock 
Blood Bitters is the true remedy, acting 
upon the bowels and giving them tone 
without a reacting constipation. Careful 
attention to diet should be observed— 
Graham bread, xipe fruits, rice, oatmeal, 
etc., are most serviceable. Food that 
sours on the stomach or requires a long 
time to digest should never be tolerated. 
Burdock Blood Bitters is the key to un- 
lock the clogged secretions and bring 
health to the sufferer. Over-indulgence 
in eating while the bowels are inactive is 
a prolific source of serious diseases. 
Coughs, Colds, Croup, etc., are 
promptly relieved and soon cured if taken 
in time by the reliable household remedy, 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. The symp- 
toms and causes of Colds and Catarrhal 
Complaints are familiar in every house- 
hold. A Cough, however slight, should 
never be neglected. “Only a trifling 
cold,” has been the lullaby song of many 
a victim to their last long sleep. Bad 
air, close apartments, damp clothing, 
neglect of wearing flannel and thick- 
soled shoes, sitting in crowded, hot 
rooms, sudden exposure to cold draughts 
of air, allowing the body to cool too 
quickly after exercise, has marked many 
a victim for its own on the long death- 
roll of Consumption. A Cough should 
be loosened as speedily as possible, and 
all irritation allayed before it settles upon 
the lungs; for if the system be weak, 
tlie blood tainted with Scrofula, Catarrh 
or Consumption is sure to follow. At 
the very outset of a Cold equalize the 
circulation by warm drinks. One-half a 
teaspoonful of Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric 
®il should be taken internally and the 
throat and chest bathed with the Oil 
freely, which, by the aid of perspiration, 
hot foot-baths and warm clothing, will 
speedily break the Cold. Habituating 
the body to the use of the bath is a good 
preventive of Colds. A Cough, however 
troublesome, soon yields to Eclectric Oil, 
which loosens the phlegm and allays 
irritation. 
Catarrh.—This troublesome and often 
loathsome disease is increasing in preva- 
lence in our country to an alarming ex- 
tent. Many have Catarrh and don’t 
know it. It is generally induced by neg- 
lected colds and the propagation of cer- 
tain germs in foul atmospheres. It usually 
fastens upon the scrofulous and weakly 
constitutions. In its chronic form it is 
essentially a blood disease, and should 
be treated locally and constitutionally. 
Catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, 
known by pain over the forehead or eye- 
brows, discharge of matter more or less 
of the nature of corruption, which causes 
constant blowing of the nose, hawking 
of phlegm, etc. Allowed to remain, it 
often destroys the nasal bones, and all 
sense of smell is dormant; or the matter 
falling upon the bronchial pipes causes 
Bronchitis, and often leads to pulmonary 
Consumption. Cleanse the system with 6

Burdock Blood Bitters, and tone up the 
general health by the best hygienic 
means. Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil has 
made some remarkable cures in chronic 
Catarrh and the deafness that often at- 
tends that disease, therefore these two 
remedies should be used in connection. 
Croup.—Many a mother has been 
suddenly startled at the midnight hour 
by the ominous sounds of this often fatal 
and always dangerous disease. The 
hoarse choaking cough,the terrible rattling 
in the throat, and the formation of a tough 
leathery membrane, are its well-known 
signs. It is an acute inflammation of the 
mucous membrane which lines the sur- 
face of the windpipe and bronchial tubes. 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil should be used 
according to accompanying directions, 
both externally and internally, in doses 
corresponding to the age of the sufferer. 
There is no household safe without this 
Erompt and reliable medicine. It costs 
ut a trifle to keep it at hand, and may 
save much trouble and even life. 
Consumption.-— This disease, the 
blighting plague of our nation, is, though 
often induced by colds neglected, in re- 
ality a scrofula of the lungs, and there- 
fore, strictly speaking, a blood disease. 
Its curability depends upon a prompt 
treatment with general tonics, blood puri- 
fiers, and nutritious remedies. Burdock 
Blood Bitters supply, these medicines in 
a most skillful combination. The dis- 
tressing cough will be greatly allayed by 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, taken inter- 
nally and applied over the chest with 
friction. Nourishing, plain and whole- 
some food, gentle, pleasurable exercise, 
pure air, comfortable clothing and such 
other means as tend to build up and 
nourish the system will be indispensable 
in all cases. See the remarkable cure of 
Mrs. A. O'Brien, Buffalo. 
Cholera, Cholera Morbus, Cramps, 
Colic, Diarrhoea, and Dysentery.— 
Cholera is an acute miasmatic disease of 
the blood, characterized by watery purg- 
ing, vomiting, coldness, unquenchable 
thirst, suppressed urine, cramps and col- 
lapses. It is not as contagious as many 
believe, but is spread by the propagation 
of microscopic germs. Hence the use of 
disinfectants and great cleanliness should 
be observed. Cholera Morbus and Cana- 
dian Cholera is a modified form of 
Asiatic Cholera. In the absence of a 
physician, for any of the above-named 
diseases, use our Dr. Fowler’s Extract of 
Wild Strawberry according to directions, 
and Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, applied 
externally, with the aid of hot packs, 
fomentations, and the sweating process. 
Dr. Fo'wler’s Extract of Wild Strawberry 
is Nature’s specific for all forms of bowel 
complaints. Diet: Dry toast, ground 
parched rice, barley water, gruel, or Irish 
moss jelly, are proper articles of diet in 
bowel complaints. Slippery elm tea 
should be used in place of water for 
thirst. Injections of starch with a dozen 
Arops of laudanum are serviceable after 
the passages are cleansed. 
Chilblains.—Frost-bitten parts will be 
quickly healed by the early application of 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. 
Corns, Bunions, and other painful 
difficulties of similar nature are mast 
speedily conquered by the application of 
the great pain-curing, anti-inflammatory 
and healing remedy, Eclectric Oil. 
Debility.—A sense of indisposition to 
exertion, loss of strength, faintness, “all 
gone” sensation, languor and depression 
of spirits, indicate a want of tone and 
vitality to the blood. Burdock Blood 
Bitters is the grand tonic for all cases of 
general or nervous debility. 
Dyspepsia.—This is the prevailing 
malady of civilized life, and largely due 
to gross errors in diet, over-eating, too 
free indulgence in stimulants and over- 
taxing the stomach with indigestible 
food, eating too rapidly without chewing 
the food sufficiently, indulging in hot bis- 
cuits, pastry, confectionery, pickles, pre- 
serves, etc. 
To be dyspeptic is to be miserable, 
hopeless, confused and depressed in 
mind, forgetful, irresolute, drowsy, languid 
and useless. Constipation, headache, 
heartburn, sour stomach, distress after 
eating, belching of wind, faintness, dizzi- 
ness, vomiting and variable or capricious 
appetite, and fullness and distention of 8

the stomach, are some of the many dis- 
tressing symptoms of the poor dyspeptic. 
No medicine can surpass the virtues of 
Burdock Blood Bitters in this disease. 
There is scarcely a disease but what dys- 
pepsia will resemble; even serious heart 
disease may be supposed to exist from the 
palpitation caused by a stomach distended 
with gas pressing upon the nerves of the 
heart. The brain and stomach' are in 
close sympathy by connection of nerves, 
hence the distress of mind and head. 
Burdock Blood Bitters has cured Dyspep- 
sia of fifteen years’ duration. See the case 
of A. Burns and many others, whose cer- 
tificates we will supply. 
Diphtheria.—This alarming and prev- 
alent disease partakes of the nature* of 
malignant Scarlet Fever, involving the 
throat, and being a specific blood poison 
in the whole system. Its local effects are 
known by the peculiar ash-colored spots 
in the throat, other forms of sore throat 
being simply red. The inflammation 
should be promptly met, in the absence of 
a physician, by the internal and external 
use of Eclectric Oil. For the blood 
poisoning and general debility Burdock 
Blood Bitters should be used, and in 
alarming cases a physician should be early 
consulted. 
Deafness, when it does not proceed 
from an accumulation of hardened wax, 
is the effect of colds and a catarrhal in- 
flammation of the head and throat, caus- 
ing the drum of the ear to become thick 
and swollen. Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil 
is a remarkable remedy for deafness, and is 
also the best relief for the distressing pain 
or Ear Ache, and also for swollen glands. 
Felons. — These painful swellings 
commence, like a thorn in the flesh, with 
heat and throbbing. Eclectric Oil should 
be at once applied, as this magical remedy 
draws the inflammation and fire from a 
bad bum; so, too, it brings relief to the 
sufferer from a Felon. 
Fevers and Congestions are condi- 
tions of high inflammatory action of the 
system with an undue determination of 
blood to some organ or part of the 
body. A fever is simply an extra effort 
of the vital powers to remove some offend- 
ing or poisonous matter from the system, 
and should be aided by all means to pro- 
mote perspiration, equalize the circulation 
and expel morbid accumulations. Bur- 
dock Blood Bitters is the best preventive 
of those conditions of the system that 
give rise to fevers. Inflammations are 
local fevers requiring hot fomentation? 
and similar means to allay irritation. A 
toe sudden degree of cold should never 
be employed in inflammatory action; hot 
poultices, fomentations of cloths rung out 
of hot water, are better. Even ,in sun- 
stroke hot packs applied to the head re- 
lieves pain and congestion soonest. Any 
schoolboy knows that cold contracts while 
heat expands or relaxes. Old Dr. Thomp- 
son was about right when he said, “ Heat 
is life; cold is death.” Dr. Thomas’ Ec- 
lectric Oil is specific for all local inflam- 
mations attended with the characteristic 
signs of heat, redness, pain and swelling. 
Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago.— 
These are constitutional and blood dis- 
eases and often induced by improper liv- 
ing, exposure to cold and dampness, and 
by a depraved condition of the blood- 
Rheumatism attacks the young; Gout 
more frequently the old and those who 
live luxuriously. Rheumatism attacks 
the larger joints, Gout the smaller. A 
rheumatic pain is a deep-seated one, ap- 
parently as if in the bone. Gout comes 
in sudden twinges of pain. Rheumatism 
affects both muscles and joints; when 
transferred to the heart it is very danger- 
ous. Rheumatism neglected or ill-treated 
often cripples for life by a deposit forming 
about the joints, stiffening and distorting 
them by contraction of muscular liga- 
ments, Lumbago is a form of muscular 
Rheumatism. Rheumatic diseases are 
best treated by Burdock Blood Bitters for 
the constitution and blood, while no, out- 
ward application can at all compare with 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, the great 
remedy for Rheumatism. 
Headaches of all forms are nearly 
always symptomatic, and are curable by 
keeping the stomach and bowels in order 
and equalizing the circulation of the 
blood, all of which Burdock Blood Bit- 
ters will best accomplish. Neuralgia or 10

nerve pain may be either in the head or 
face or along the course of any of the 
main nerves. When in the hip it is 
called Sciatica. All these pains are 
quickly and surely subdued by the grand 
pain conqueror, the genuine Dr. Thomas’ 
Eclectric Oil, applied according to the 
special directions with every bottle. 
Mumps is an inflammatory swelling 
of the parotid gland (the glands under 
the ear), and usually requires no other 
care than to avoid taking cold and to 
apply Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil to the 
painful parts. Those having Mumps, as 
a rule, cannot relish the taste of any acid 
or anything sour in the way of food or 
drink. 
Nervous and General Debility, 
from whatever cause depending, and 
however manifested, will find its true 
remedy in Burdock Blood Bitters. In 
cases of extreme prostration, nervous ex- 
haustion, and even in Palsy, it has been 
wonderfully successful, restoring lost vi- 
tality, imparting nervous energy, regulat- 
ing the poor circulation, arousing all the 
secretions and toning up and nourishing 
the entire system. There can be no 
stagnation of bad blood, no obstruction to 
a free circulation of the nervous or vital 
fluids in those who open the channels of 
health with Burdock Blood Bitters, 
Quinsy, Sore Throat, Inflamed Ton- 
sils. These well-known troubles are best 
remedied by the use of Dr. Thomas’ J£c- 
lectric Oil, applied outwardly and taken 
internally according to full directions on 
the bottle. 
Scalds, Burns, and all accidental 
injuries, such as Bruises, Wounds of the 
Flesh, etc., find unfailing relief in Dr. 
Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, which should 
always be kept at hand for prompt use in 
case of accidents. 
Scrofula is a term applied to a morbid 
condition of the glandular system, char- 
acterized by swellings, enlarged joints, 
abscesses, pustular eruptions, thickening 
of the upper lips, sore eyes, etc. It is 
often hereditary. Consumption is Scrof- 
ula of the Lungs. Causes 5 Want of 
pure *ir, sunshine, wholesome food and 
proper sounsiment The hoses of 
Scrofulous persons are liable to disease, 
as Hip Disease, White Swelling, etc, 
Goitre or swelled neck is Scrofula affect- 
ing the sub-maxillary glands. Burdock 
Blood Bitters will be found valuable 
for all scrofulous diseases. Pure air, 
good nourishing food, and a total avoid- 
ance of fat pork and intoxicating drinks, 
will cure nearly all cases of this obstinate 
and all-prevalent malady if taken in time. 
A Free Gift Worth Sending For.— 
The case of the Rev. Win. Stout, of 
Wiarton, Ontario, is probably the most 
wonderful cure of Scrofula on record. 
He suffered for twenty-three years and 
his case baffled the skill of the best sur- 
geons, and when pronounced hopeless 
was cured by Burdock Blood Bitters. 
The proprietors of this medicine will 
send a full and interesting history of this 
wonderful case, written by the reverend 
gentleman for the benefit of any inquir- 
ing sufferer, upon application. 
The following is a brief synopsis of 
the above-mentioned treatise condensed. 
The full particulars are given in the large 
circular: 
Se venteen Doctors Couldn't Help

Wonderful Story.—“For upwards of 
twenty years I endured the most awful 
suffering from a cancerous abscess on 
my neck, and, notwithstanding the skill- 
ful treatment of seventeen of the best 
physicians in Canada, failed to obtain 
relief. When I had exhausted all the 
resources of regular medical practition- 
ers, I resorted to nearly all the patent 
medicines that promised to cure scrofu- 
lous and blood diseases, but without any 
benefit whatever. Finally, in an almost 
helpless condition, I tried Burdock Blood 
Bitters. 
“ I took these Bitters for about four 
months, with the most astonishing ai.d 
gratifying results, and for the first time 
in four years I was enabled to dispense 
with surgical aid, which I firmly be- 
lieve I shall never require again for the 
same disease. More than two years 
have elapsed since I have had any attack 
of the'disease, and I feel as well and

or of white phosphates, showing a sedi- 
ment on standing long in a vessel, pain, 
stricture, etc. Diabetes, an increased 
flow, a dribbling, or an excess of sugar 
in the urine. Then there is the disease 
known as Dropsy, a thin, watery condi- 
tion of the blood, and irregular action of 
the kidneys, causing bloating of the body, 
limbs, etc., wherever the effusion may 
locate. Chronic disease of the kidneys 
is usually manifested by pain, weakness, 
and often heat in the small of the back. 
There may be a too frequent desire to 
urinate, or the urine may be too scanty, 
thick, high colored, with a sediment, or 
pale, or it may be’mixed with blood and 
slime. There are various causes, accord- 
ing to certain conditions; the chief are 
poor nutrition, improper circulation of 
the fluids and bad blood. All these con- 
ditions of ill-health may be remedied by 
the superb diuretic properties of Burdock 
Blood Bitters, which act in a health-giv- 
ing manner upon all the secretions, and 
especially upon those of the skin and kid- 
neys, expelling morbid matter from the 
blood and promoting a natural tone and 
healthy action to every organ in the body. 
“I have tried Burdock Blood Bitters for 
one of my children, who was afflicted 
with an obstinate humor of the blood, 
and whose face was covered with sores, 
now perfectly smooth and clean; also 
my servant treated for swelled neck, and 
many other cases in our parish to w'hom we 
have giv«n and recommended the remedy. 
“ Knowing that it cured me, and believ- 
ing that it saved my life, I most earn- 
estly and heartily recommend it to suffer- 
ing humanity, and urge all who may be 
similarly afflicted to give it a trial, be- 
lieving it to be a true specific for all con- 
stitutional scrofulous blood diseases, and 
unsurpassed as a rare healing remedy of 
great cleansing and curative power. 
“ Faithfully yours, 
“ Rev. William Stout, 
“ Wiarton, County Grey, Canada.” 
Skin Diseases.—There are many va- 
rieties of Skin Diseases, such as Salt 
Rheum, Ringworm, Herpes, scaly and 
crustaceous and pustular eruptions, moist 
and dry humors, etc., but they can mostly 
be classified together as belonging to the 
same order, and are curable by-perfect 
cleanliness, good nourishing diet and reg- 
ular habits. Obtain pure blood by using 
Burdock Blood Bitters. Salt Rheum and 
Ringworm may be treated by washing 
with Carbolic or Sulphur Soap and ap- 
plying Creosote or Carbolic Acid with a 
camel’s hair pencil. Eclectric Oil may 
be freely used. For Pimples, Blotches, 
and unsightly eruptions of the face, Bur- 
dock Blood Bitters is the remedy, which 
may be used internally and externally. 
It drives the humor from the blood. 
Boils and blotches may appear thicker for 
a short time, but are eventually removed. 
Urinary Complaints.—The kidneys 
form one of the most important channels 
of the system for the outlet of disease. 
When their functions are disturbed the 
system is soon loaded with impurities, 
and other vital organs are overburdened. 
The kidneys are subject to many diseases, 
such as Bright’s -Disease or albuminous 
urine, a dangerous disease, with many 
obscure symptoms. Gravel or a precipi- 
tation of the solid constituents of the 
arine. with either aa w 
WOMAN’S DISEASES. 
There is a vast amount of suffering 
among the females of our land, from 
complaints peculiar to their sex, due 
mainly to indulgence of bad habits, 
ignorance or neglect. No derange- 
ment of the female functions can long 
exist without involving the entire sys- 
tem into sympathetic suffering. There 
are two periods in every woman’s life 
when her general health is influenced 
and often seriously disturbed; the first is 
the period of change from childhood to 
womanhood, occurring about the age of 
fifteen; the other the decline of woman- 
hood to old age, occurring between forty 
and fifty. At both periods the system 
undergoes important changes, requiring 
all the resources of nature, and some- 
times of medical art, to maintain the 
equilibrium of health. It would require 
a large volume to detail all the various 
troubles incident to the sex, such as pain- 
lid periods suppression. weakness* 14

years through natural delicacy of seeking

and often radically cured, if taken in 
time, by building up the shattered sys- 
tem, allaying nervous excitement and irri-

many weary hours his mother perceived 
signs of returning consciousness. 
Leaning over him she asked him if 
there was anything she could do for him, 
now that he was beginning to feel better. 
Should she bathe his forehead ? Should 
she fan him or change his pillow ? Was 
there anything he wanted ?

ing at her, the little sufferer said: 
“Yes, mamma; I want a pair of pants 
with a pocket behind.” 
He got them. 
A Woman in Buffalo given up to 
die by her Physicians. Her resto- 
ration is considered almost miracu- 
lous. What cured her. A remark- 
able case.—It was in the winter of 1883 
that the doctors told me that I was dying 
with consumption. 
I had been sick nearly two years, suf- 
fering the most excruciating pain in the 
bowels, where the disease seemed to be 
located. The liver seemed to be very 
much out of order and I often vomited 
quantities of greenish mucous of the most 
offensive nature. My skin turned to a 
yellowish hue, and about the face broke 
out into small dry humors of a very irri- 
tating character. I coughed continually 
and raised a great amount of frightful 
looking stuff. 
I could eat but little food, the stomach 
rejecting the simplest substances; and the 
consequent lack of proper ''nourishment 
accompanied with loss of sleep and the 
constant coughing led to a weakness and 
nervous prostration that lasted for weeks, 
during which time I suffered more than 
pen can describe. 
I had for years been troubled with sick 
headache, being aggravated doubtless by 
a case of catarrh which, as well as the 
sick headache caused me great distress. 
The horrible cough gradually abated, and 
finally left. altogether. My appetite re- 
turned, those terrible siek headaches left 
me. I could sleep sound at night and 
with the taking of one bottle of the Bitters 
my pulse became strong and regular, the 
catarrh also disappeared and I have not 
been troubled with it since. 
I steadily lost in flesh and at the time 
Whisky.—A gentleman in Washing- 
Ion in a decline consulted an eminent 
physician regarding whisky, so highly 
recommended. “ It might afford relief,” 
said the doctor. “ Then why not give 
it?” responded the patient. “Because I 
have given it to a dozen gentlemen, and 
all have become drunkards.” Burdock 
Blood Bitters is purely a medicine, not a 
drink, and never makes drunkards. 
Children's Chatter.—“ My father has 
something on his house that your father 
ain’t got,’’said a little boy to his companion. 
“ What is it ? ” he earnestly asked. 
“ A mortgage.” _ 
Little George was questioned the other 
day about his big sister’s beau. 
“ How old is he ? ” 
“I don’t know.” 
“ Well, is he young ? ” 
f< I think so, for he hasn’t any hair on 
his head ? ” 
Little Benny was looking out of the 
window the other day when a man went 
by with a saw-horse over his shoulder. 
“What do you call that?” he queried. 
He was given the information he desired, 
with the question: “ Did you never see 
one before! ” “Oh, yes,” was the reply, 
“ I saw a man put a log of wood across 
one the other day, and then he fiddled it.” 
Master Fred Fenton fell from the top- 
most limb of ar apple tree. He was 
picked up and carried to the house in an 
insensible condition.

®f which I write I weighed but ninety 
pounds, being a mere shadow of my for- 
mer self. 
In April I began taking Burdock Blood 
Bitters, and in the following July I WAS 
CURED. I have taken in all four bot- 
tles of the Bitters and at the date of this 
writing (Oct. 2, ’83) weigh one hundred 
and forty-six pounds, having gained in 
flesh constantly from the commencement 
of its use. Those who saw me six months 
ago consider my recovery almost a mira- 
cle, and I myself am no less astonished. 
It cured my sister, Mrs. Thomas Haley, 
of this city, of sick headache to my per- 
sonal knowledge, and I believe it to be a 
perfect remedy for that disease. 
Any letter of inquiry concerning my 
case I will cheerfully answer. 
Very truly, Mrs. Adelaide O’Brien, 
372 Exchange Street, Buffalo, N. Y. 
One of the marvels of childhood is % 
“Why does mother appear anxious to 
turn my ears and nose inside out when she 
washes my face ? ” A wise contemporary 
says the conundrum will never be solved. 
A little girl was reproved for playing 
with the boys, and was told that being 
seven years old she was too big for that 
now. “ Why, grandma,” she replied, 
“ the bigger we grow the better we like 
’em.” 
Gospel Facts.—[The following has 
appeared in nearly every newspaper 
throughout the United States, and is one 
of the finest testimonials ever won by a 
medicine, proprietary or otherwise. Dr. 
Crane, (he is a graduate of medicine as 
well as a clergyman,) gives this evidence 
without any solicitation whatever. It 
will repay all to read it] : 
“ I have never seen a medicine more 
perfectly adapted to its various applica- 
tions than Thomas' Eclectric Oil. I was 
for many years a sufferer from quinsy; 
Thomas' Eclectric Oil cured me. My 
wife and child had diphtheria; Thomas' 
Eclectric Oil cured them; and if taken 
in season it will cure seven times out of 
ten. I am confident it is a cure for the 
most obstinate cold or cough, and if taken 
into the head, by the nostrils, two or three 
times a week, will positively remove the 
most offensive case of catarrh; and not- 
withstanding the delicate nature of the 
mucous membrane of the nasal organ, 
can be taken up with perfect impunity. 
For deafness and earache it has done 
wonders to my certain knowledge. It is 
the only medicine dubbed patent that I 
have ever felt like recommending, and 1 
am anxious to see it in every place, for I 
tell you I would not be without it in the 
house for any consideration. It also oper- 
ates in asthma as a specific, and wherever 
it is used it becomes indispensable to house- 
hold safety. I am ready to give anyone 
the benefit of my observation, both as to 
its effects and mode of application, if 
they will drop me a note making in- 
quiry.”

Chronic Rheumatism.—Mrs. C. A. 
Taylor, 256 Folsom Street, Buffalo, N. Y., 
says:—Attacked with sciatic rheuma- 
tism, I lay on my bed for six long years. 
The pains in the limbs were so severe I 
was unable even to lift my feet from the 
floor, Thomas’ Eclectric Oil cured me. 
It is a remarkable medicine. I don’t 
know of its equal.” 
Bronchial Catarrh.—Suffering with 
catarrh, I tried full a score of medicines. 
In the use of Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil 
I made a great hit — it cured me of ca- 
tarrh, and an aggravated case of bron- 
chitis as well. George Cox, 
27 Eagle Street, Medina, N. Y. 
Some very curiously worded adver- 
tisements creep into the newspapers now 
and then. Here, for instance : “ Wanted 
—A nurse for an infant between twenty- 
five and thirty, a member of the Church 
of England and without followers.’1 
“ Mrs. and Miss May have left off cloth- 
ing of ever)' description. An inspection 
invited.” 
A Witness from the Hoosier 
State.—Mr. Wm. W Jones, of Cardo- 
nia, Clay Co., Indiana, says: “ For the 
last two years I have been seriously un- 
well. It would be difficult to describe all 
the little ailments that have united to 
render my existence miserable in the ex- 
treme, and could they be described, none 
could fully understand, until they had the 
same awful experience, the agonies I en- 
dured. Fains in the breast, a heavy, dull 
sensation in my head, faintness at the 
stomach, weakness in the legs, kidneys 
badly deranged, restless sleep, complex- 
ion sallow, strength all gone. Rendered 
desperate, I went up into the northern 
part of Michigan, hoping that a change 
of climate would do me good. I got no 
benefit. Last spring I went to the City 
of Terre Haute and resorted to the arte- 
sian baths there for five weeks. One day, 
glancing through the papers, I noticed an 
advertisement of Burdock Blood Bitters. 
In June I commenced taking this medi- 
cine, though, I must admit, with but lit- 
tle or no expectation of relief. The 
result was, however, marvelous and grat- 
ifying beyond measure. Since using 
these Bitters J have not lost a day's workt 
and while not now a perfectly well man, 
am infinitely better than formerly. Can 
conscientiously recommend these Bitters 
as the very best of medicines. They 
take right hold, and the effects are always 
pleasing.”

Something for Baby. 
Hang up the baby’s stocking, 
Be sure and don’t forget, 
The dear little dimpled darling! 
She never saw Christmas yet; 
But I’ve told her all about it, 
And she opened her big, blue eye*, 
And I’m sure she understands it, 
She looks so funny and wise. 
Dear! what a tiny stocking ! 
It doesn’t take much to hold 
Such little pink toes as baby’s 
Away from the frost and cold. 
But then, for the baby’s Christmas 
It will never do at all, 
Why, Santa wouldn’t be looking 
For anything half so small! 
I know what we’ll do for the baby, 
I’ve thought of the very best plan, 
I’ll borrow a stocking of grandma— 
The longest that ever I can; 
And you’ll hang it by mine, dear mother. 
Right here in the comer, so, 
And write a letter to Santa 
And fasten it on to the toe. 
Write—“ This is the baby’s stocking. 
That hangs in the comer, here, 
You never have seen her, Santa, 
For she only came this year; 
But she’s just the blessedest baby! 
And now, before you go, 
Just cram, her stocking with goodies 
Fro® top cbws to the to*.” 20

Burdock Blood Bitters. 
A medicine which Alexander Lough, 
Alpena, Mich., says: “ Cured me of dys- j 
pepsia, from which I had suffered twenty j 
years.” 
“ In my opinion the best preparation 
for the blood and stomach ever manufac- 
tured.”— George Campbell, Hopkins- 
ville, Ky. 
A medicine which Wm. McFarling, of 
Belmont, Ohio, says: “ Cured my mother 
of erysipelas and vertigo in a manner 
surprising.” 1 
The Management of Infants.—As 
soon as the mother has recovered from 
exhaustion the infant should be put to 
the breast, as the disturbances common to 
the coming of the milk are thus often 
prevented, it better satisfies the infant’s 
craving and lessens the danger of the 
mother against “ milk fever.” 
For the first few days it should remain 
with its mother instead of alone in a cra- 
dle. “The early application of the infant 
to the brea*t hastens the supply of milk. 
If after a few hours there is no milk 
drawn, then substitute pure fresh milk 
from one particular healthy cow, the milk 
to be diluted with one-third warm water 
or equal parts, according to the strength 
of the milk. Do not boil either, and add 
no sugar. 
Cleanliness is of the greatest impor- 
tance. The warm bath, with a soft 
sponge and a little Castile soap, should 
be used and the infant carefully wrapped 
in soft, warn flannel if the weather is 
cold. After the child is two months old 
do not use a bath too warm, but accustom 
it to slightly tepid water or cold water if 
in warm weather, always avoiding giving 
it a sudden chill'. 
Clothing should be light, soft, loose 
and comfortable, and made to fit without 
pins. Keep the limbs always warmly 
clad. A child should sleep alone as soon 
as old enough to leave the mother, and 
plenty of sleep allowed, all rocking and 
jolting should be avoided, and all opiates 
shunned as poison. Never awaken a 
child roughly or hurriedly from sleep at 
any time. Pure fresh air and good ven- 
tilation should always be afforded. They 
require air and sunlight as much as plants 
and flowers, and all hot house coddling 
should be avoided. 
A nursing mother does not require ex- 
tra food, but rather a selection in quality 
that affords most healthful nourishment 
A child should be weaned about the sev- 
enth or the ninth month, and good cow’s 
milk, with Ridge’s Prepared Food, may 
be used with regularity, avoiding over- 
feeding.

Worth Reading. 
Mr. Bloomer says: I have used Bur- 
dock Blood Bitters with great benefit. I 
believe I owe to it my life. I had a run- 
ning sore for years, suffering great pains, 
and spent probably over $100 with phy-. 
sicians and for medicines, without receiv- 
ing any benefit. Harrison Bros., drug- 
gists, recommended Burdock Blood Bit- 
ters. I have used three bottles, and am 
now, for the first time in over thirty years, 
a well and strong man.

DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT. 
DISEASES OF CHILDREN. 
Young children are subject to many of 
•he acute and some of the chronic dis- 
eases of adults, and require similar treat- 
ment, only in modified form, care being 
taken to watch for symptoms by their mo- 
tions and looks. The recujierative pow- 
ers of youth are more favorable, and the 
system more susceptible, to the action of 
medicine than in age; hence, children 
often recover from diseases that might 
prove fatal to those of riper years. 
Inflammation and Congestion.— 
Infants and young children are peculiarly 
liable to inflammation and congestion of 
the brain, bowels etc. The signs are 
those of general fever; the child rolling 
its head, putting its hands to the head, 
the pupil of the eye changes, etc., in brain 
disease. In inflammation of the bowels 
the child draws its knees towards the 
bowels; there is local heat, bloating, etc. 
Inflammation of the lungs is also common : 
with infants. 
Treatment.—The warm bath—warm i 
fomentations of hops, smart weed, etc ,; 1 
cloths wrung from warm water should be i 
applied, and slippery elm water should be , 
freely given. Mild injections of csstiie i 
soap-suds, slightly warm, should be used : 
if the bowels are confined, or, at most, 
some mild laxative, like senna, syrup rhu- \ 
bard, or tne milk of magnesia, or sweet 
oil, will be most preferable. For sour 1 
stomach, flatulence, etc., a little soda, 5 , 
to 10 grains, with as many drops of pep- ■ 
permint essence in sweetened water, is 
excellent. 
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholic, 
Cholera Infantum, and all bowel com- 
plaints, find their proper specific in Dr. 
FowleFs Extract of Wild Strawberry, an 
unfailing remedy in these complaints, as 
well as for the troubles attendant upon 
teething. The milk of one selected cow : 
should be used when the mother’s milk , 
fails. 
For Sore Mouth, Cankered ! 
Throat, etc., use borax and honey, 
drink sage tea or slippery elm tea, or . a ; 
tea made of gold thread.

23 
Crust, Tetter, etc., vary but little in char- 
acter. Bathing with salt water, sulphur 
or carbolic soap, and using weak applica- 
tions of creosote or carbolic acid are 
curative means. One drachm of sulphur 
in one bottle of Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric 
Oil, applied as a lotion, will cure obsti- 
nate skin diseases. 
Chicken Pox, Measles and Scarlet 
Rash are common eruptive diseases with 
children. The two first two named are 
contagious, but usually mild if treated 
with care, avoiding exposure to cold. 
Chicken pox is an eruption of small pus- 
tular pimples, and very slight fever. 
Catnip, sage, or saffron tea, or light doses 
of cream of tartar, are all the medicines 
required. 
Measels commences with the rusual 
symptoms of cold or catarrh, followed 
by fever or rash, or eruption of spots re- 
sembling flea-bites. Red spots on the 
soft palate appear four or five days before 
the general eruption. Measles runs its 
course in from three to six days, and is 
not so dangerous of itself as are the after 
effects. If cold be taken and the rash 
falls upon the lungs or some internal or- 
gan, then serious troubles ensue, often 
developing in consumption or some 
chronic or fatal malady. Treatment in 
mild cases same as chicken pox. Clean- 
liness should be observed by sponging 
with warm castile soap-suds or soda and 
water, in a warm room, avoiding cold. 
Warm drinks, ginger tea, or a tea made 
of pleurisy root and ginger root is excel- 
lent, or hot whisky and water may be 
given to keep the eruption to the surface. 
. Keep the bowels regular and the strength 
sustained by proper diet, and but little 
trouble is experienced. 
Whooping Cough—A contagious 
disease, resembling a common cold, with 
deep-seated cough coming on at inter- 
vals, with prolonged shrill whoop or 
crowing sound, and ending in vomiting 
or expectoration of thick mucous. The 
whoop is a signal of safety, for if suffo- 
cation takes place it is before the whoop. 
A decline of night attacks is a favorable 
symptom. Take the infant up as soon as 
the attack comes on, and place in a

USEFUL HINTS. 
Something to Please the Little Folks. 
Home-Made Cream Candy.—Tot 
coffee-cupful of white sugar, add two 
table-spoonfuls of water to dissolve it, 
and boil, without stirring, in a bright tin 
pan, until it will crisp in water like mo- 
lasses candy. Just before it is done, put 
in a teaspoonful of extract of vanilla, or 
lemon, or peppermint essence, and a 
quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tar- 
tar ; when done, pour out into a buttered 
pan, and when cool enough to handle, 
work it as you would molasses candy 
until it is perfectly white, then stretch 
and lay on a marble slab or moulding- 
board; with a chopping-knife cut into 
mouthfuls and lay it on buttered paper 
on a plate. When children want candy, 
by all means let them have that made at 
home, and they will not eat plaster of 
paris, chalk, starch and poisonous com- 
pounds, which derange their stomachs 
and ruin their teeth. 
Delicate Graham Bread (for Inva- 
lids).—I pint graham, I pint flour, I tea- 
spoonful sugar, I teaspoonful salt, 2 tea- 
spoonfuls baking powder, I pints milk. 
Sift together graham, flour, sugar, salt, 
and powder, leaving out the coarse bran, 
which will be found in the sieve; add 
the milk; mix quickly into a smooth, soft 
dough, which pour into two small, greased 
tins and bake at once in a rather hot oven 
25 minutes. Protect with paper 10 minutes. 24

favorable position. Give Dr. Thomas’* 
Eclectric Oil and apply the same to the 
throat and chest. 
W. N. Palmer, 149 Morgan Street, 
Buffalo, says : “ My child was taken one 
night, February 1st, with Croup in its 
severest form, and Thomas’ Eclectric Oil 
being the only remedy at hand, I began 
giving it according to directions and 
found it gave immediate relief. I gave 
three doses, and the child rested well the 
remainder of the night. I have used it 
in my family for some time with com- 
plete success. 
Dansville, Pa., Oct. 30, 1883.— 
About fifteen months ago I suffered very 
severely from that terrible disease, Ca-. 
tarrh in the head. I commenced using 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. It was but a 
few weeks until I began to recognize 
that the offensive breath I had been an- 
noyed with for several years was passing 
away, and a very sore throat was being 
cured by its daily use. I have also used 
the Oil for rheumatism in my family, and 
can certainly recommend it as an excel- 
lent remedy for the above named diseases. 
V. A. Lotier, 
Editor Daily and Weekly Record. 
November 9th, 1883.—I was badly 
afflicted with Bronchitis for over a year 
and was fast losing my voice. Dr. 
Thomas’ Eclectric Oil has completely 
cured me. I have no hesitation in rec- 
ommending" it to any who are thus 
severely afflicted. My daughter was 
similarly troubled ;* a few doses relieved 
her almost immediately. For Coughs 
and Colds it cannot be recommended too 
highly Oliver J. Beli.e-Isle, 
Druggist, 23 East Merrimack, 
Lowell, Mass. 
Scarlet Fever.—Whenever there is a 
high fever, with sore throat and bright scar- 
let eruptions, consult a competent physi- 
cian, for Scarlet Fever is a disease requir- 
ing prompt medical aid rather than home 
treatment. Scarlet Fever and its coun- 
terpart, Diphtheria, are among the most 
fatal diseases of childhood. The general 
means advised in other low forms of fever 
may be observed until the doctor comes. 
Diphtheria has been successfully 
The above is excellent for dyspeptics. 
All troubled with dyspepsia may be cured 
by taking Burdock Blood Bitters. 
Maple Syrup.— '/2 lb. maple sugar, 1 
lb. cut sugar, 3 pints water. 
Break the maple sugar small, place it 
on the fire, with the cut sugar and water; 
boil 5 minutes, skim, and then cool. 
This syrup will be relished and useful 
for those with chronic coughs. Dr. 
Thomas’ Eclectric Oil cures coughs and 
colds. 
Parched Corn Gruel.—In many cases 
where the ordinary nourishments are not 
relished or admissible, a saucer of parched 
com pudding, or a cup of gruel, will sel- 
dom be refused. Roast the com the same 
as coffee is roasted, make it into mush, 
gruel, or thin cakes; bake lightly brown, 
or served with milk, it will be very nutriti- 
ous.

Mustard Plaster.—Take a table- 
spoonful of treacle, more or less, as 
desired; stir thick with mustard, and 
having spread it on a cloth, apply it di- 
rectly to the 'skin; it will not blister even 
if kept on for an hour. 
The above is especially adapted for chil- 
dren, on account of its mild nature as 
compared with the ordinary mustard 
plaster. 
Oatmeal Gruel.-r-Take two table-

treated with 15 drops of sulphuric acid 
to half a tumbler of water, teaspoonful 
doses being given every two or three 
hours. Sulphur, administered freely, and 
full doses of quinine has been another 
successful plan. Best of all, try Dr. 
Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. 
Rickets is a constitutional disease, a 
wasting of the system, a lack of proper 
nourishment, a softening of the bones, 
and want of proper development. Use 
the sea-salt bath, give most nourishing 
food and pure air, and small doses of 
Burdock Blood Bitters. 
Choking.—Invert the body and slap 
smartly on the shoulders; if this does 
not dislodge the substance, insert the fin- 
ger or a flexible pipe into the throat and 
push the substance downward. 
The babies will have the Croup—Dr. 
Thomas’ Eclectric Oil is guaranteed to 
cure, or money refunded. 
Nursery Powder.—The best to use is 
very finely powdered fuller’s earth, or, in 
lack of that, fine starch flour. Infants 
should be well dried after the bath, and 
this powder applied with a down powder 
puff. This prevents chafing. Many in- 
fants take cold by neglect of properly 
drying the skin after a bath, and in warm 
weather are troubled with raw, charing 
sores. 
A bottle of pure sweet oil or goose oil 
is a necessary requirement for external 
use, and also for a mild laxative in many 
cases of common infantile troubles. 
A little anise seed tea is excellent for 
flatulence, wind, griping, etc. Saffron 
tea is useful in driving out eruptions. 
For an Emetic.—For infants, syrup 
of ipecac in doses of 5 to 20 drops, ac- 
cording to age, is the safest to use. 
Proper Temperatures.— According 
to General Morin, the eminent French ex- 
pert, the proper temperature in well ven- 
tilated places should be kept at about the 
following points, viz.: Nurseries, asylums 
And schools, 69 deg.; workshops, bar- 
sacks and prisons, 59 deg.; hospitals, 
61-64 deg.; theatres, lecture:rooms, etc., 
66-68 deg. In dwellings in the United 
States, custom requires from 65 to 70 
degrees. 
add the balance; set it over the fire for a 
quarter of an hour, stirring it constantly. 
Strain it for use. Highly nourishing. 
Mucilage of Gum Arabic.—One 
ounce of gum arabic in powder, mix well 
with two tablespoonfuls of honey. Shave 
a little rind of lemon, clean off the white 
pith, and cut the lemon in thin slices into 
a jug; then stir on it by degrees about a 
pint of boiling water. This is excellent 
in throat and lung complaints, coughs, 
measles, etc. 
Arrowroot.—Mix 2 tablespoonfuls of 
arrowroot to a smooth paste with a little 
water; add to it I pint of boiling water 
with a little lemon peel, and stir while 
boiling; let it cook till quite clear, and 
flavor with wine and nutmeg if approved; 
milk may be used instead of the water if 
desired. 
Slippery Elm Water.—An excellent 
nourishment, cooling and soothing in 
fever and stomach and bowel complaints, 
is made by soaking one ounce of elm bark 
(the fresh bark of the root is best) in one 
pint of cold water. This mucilaginous 
drink may be given freely. / 
Burdock Blood Bitters cures all dis- 
eases of the blood, liver and kidneys, 
and strengthens the debilitated. 
Catarrh.—Not a cent would O. H. 
Holcomb, editor Seneca County Herald, 
Bloomville, Ohio, give for the chances of 
his getting rid of his catarrh before he 
used Dr. Thomas’ Eclectria Oil. Now 
he would give a good deal for his chances 
were he similiarly afflicted, with the same 
medicine available. 
Inflammatory Rheumatism.—“My 
father had terrible rheumatism for almost 
six months. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil cured 
him. It is the best medicine for rheu- 
matism that I am acquainted with.” 
M. Bailey, 
666 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, N. Y.

Injuries.—I was in the explosion at 
the Grand Opera House, Jan. 18, 1883. 
There I received a bad cut on my knee, 
and had to take to my bed. Thomas’ 
Eclectric Oil helped me out in almost no 
time. Chas. Reed, 
354 Jackson St., Milwaukee, Wis. 
An injured knee laid me up for nearly 
a week. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil relieved 
me in one hour. It is the best liniment 
I ever used, and I consider it an absolute 
necessity. Fred A. Allen,

A Case Much Talked of. 
Gentlemen,—A friend of mine, one 
John Morrison, w'as so seriously afflicted 
with a disease of the kidneys that marked 
symptoms of Dropsy were rapidly devel- 
oping. He consulted several physicians, 
but with little or no benefit, and himself 
and friends had concluded that death 
would soon end his sufferings. A month 
ago he was induced to try your Burdock 
Blood Bitters. The relief was instanta- j 
neous; and now, after using but a couple 
of bottles, he is daily at his work. I 
have never known any medicine to per- 
form such an almost miraculous cure; in- 
deed, were I not an eye-witness of the case 
I could not well believe such rapid recov- 
ery from so low a state possible. The case 
is much talked of in the neighborhood.

The Two Cradles. 
There is a cradle, snug and sound— 
A mother singing lullabies— 
A little child with wearied eyes— 
And angels keeping watch around; 
And as the mother through the day 
Sings to her darling while he sleeps, 
Her eyes are turned from him away 
Up to the rugged hillside nigh. 
And still she sings, as still she weeps, 
This gentle, Christmas lullaby: 
“ Sleep, little one, while angels keep 
A holy watch—my darling, sleep.” 
There is a cradle on the hill— 
No gentle lullaby is heard— 
There is no mother’s soothing word 
To break the silence, deep and chill; 
A little, narrow, mossy mound— 
A hillock ’neath the drifting snow 
That robes the quiet burying ground; 
A little grave—while on the air 
An echo from the vale below 
Comes floating to the sleeper there: 
“ Sleep, little one, while angels keep 
A holy watch—my darling, sleep.”

Some Valuable Facts. 
Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil has been on 
the market twenty-five years and has 
stood the test. And twenty-five years 
hence it will be just as popular as it is to- 
day. Its ingredients are perfectly harm- 
less, absolutely safe and extraordinarily 
powerful, while its absorbative qualities 
are wonderful. It absorbs and penetrates 
wherever applied, and, containing no 
alcohol, none of its virtues are lost by 
evaporation. [It does not evaporate, and 
this fact recommends it strongly to the 
economical user of medicine.] 
The remarkable feature of Dr. Thomas’ 
Eclectric Oil is its excellent adaptation to 
so many different diseases. Internally, 
for the throat, lungs aud nasal organs, 
and externally for rheumatism, neuralgia, 
lame back and wounds of all kinds, its

effects are of the most pronounced and ben-

its agreeable vapors pervade the lungs, 
increasing respiration and conveying its 
virtues to every diseased part. It hasn’t 
its equal as a cure for a cold or a cough, 
and as a remedy for catarrh it is without a 
parallel in the annals of medicine. Its 
manufacturers guarantee it to cure the 
most inveterate case of rheumatism or

A youngster, while warming his

“ I ain’t heating the weather, Em warm- 
ing my hands.”

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. 
AN HONEST DOCTOR 
Recommends Burdock Blood Bitters tt 
his Patients and Cures them 
An old bachelor reading of a young 
lady having been made crazy by a sudden 
kiss, crustily remarked: “ Humph! crazy 
for more, maybe. ” He was a mean old 
thing, girls. 
Doctor A. M..Card, Physician and 
Surgeon, of Aina, Maine, writes under 
date of January 21st, 1884, to tell us of 
several speedy cures made by Burdock 
Blood Bitters. The following are his 
own words: 
Speedy Cures. 
“Dear Sirs: 
“ Your Burdock Blood Bitters have 
worked wonders. Cure No. 1—Miss 
Emily Peaslee, of Whitefield, for several 
years suffering from chronic liver and 
stomach trouble, declares that she has re- 
ceived more benefit from your Bitters than 
from all other medicine ever before taken. 
No. 2—cure of troublesome chills for 
several months’ standing—Mrs. Bragdon, 
of Aina, and Hilton of Jefferson, well 
known citizens. I prevailed on them to 
try the Burdock Bitters and neither had 
the second chill after commencing it. 
“ I have recommended and sold your 
Bitters in a large number of cases, which 
has always given good satisfaction and 
had excellent effect. 
“ Yours truly, 
“ A. M. Card.” 
“ What are you going to do when you 
are a man?” asked a gentleman of a four- 
year-old toddler. After a moment of 
deep thought: “Well, I guess I would 
be the father of little boy.” 
Courting is sometimes called sparking 
because the real fire doesn’t commence 
until after marriage. • 
“ I wish I were a baby,” murmured a 
bashful bachelor who was making his 
first call on a sweet young lady. “ How 
ridiculous!” she exclaimed. “Why do 
you wish so ?” “ Because a woman can 
never look at a baby without kissing it.” 
We were crossing an alley on East 
Mansfield Street, when our attention was 
called by some boys drumming on a tight 
board fence. Suddenly a little fellow on 
the opposite side on tip toes called out: 
“ Stop yer noise, boys.” “ Hello, Tommy, 
is that you?” said one of the boys. 
“ Yes, and we’ve got a new baby; he is 
orful tired; walked all the way from heaven 
last night: don’t want any row kicked up 
around here now.” 
Cured of Sick Headache. 
Foster, Milburn & Co. 
Gentlemen,—I was troubled with very 
distressing attacks of sick headache which 
resisted all treatment until I was told to 
use Burdock Blood Bitters, and rejoice to 
say that after using two bottles I was 
cured. I take this opportunity to thank 
you for the good your Bitters have done 
in my case. Very truly,

Paid in his own coin: “ Don’t you 
think she’s pretty ? ” said the fond mother 
to the father, as she stroked the baby’s 
silken hair. The father was in a sulky 
mood, something had disagreed with him, 
and he replied somewhat curtly: “Oh, 
all babies are about alike. They look like 
little monkeys.” Just then a neighbor 
entered, and taking the baby in her lap, 
said: “ Mercy on us, how like its father
