Why, that isn't very muchi pay." Ah, no,- indeed, 'tis a very small sum You are passing over twixt finger and thumb: . . , . . -. ' . -p, , ; .. And if that were all that you gave away, It wouldn't be very much to pay. . - "VVho has lost his courage and lost his pride; And lies a groveling heap of clay, Not far removed from a beast to-day.

These are the treasures thrown away As the price of a drink, from day to day.' "Five cents a glass!" How Satan laughed. As over the bar the young man quaffed The beaded liquor, for the demon knew The terrible work that drink would dol And before the morning the victim lay , With his life-blood swiftly ebbing away; And that was the price he paid, alas! - For the pleasure of taking a social glasi , The price of a drink! If you want to know" What some are willing to pay for it, go Through that wretched tenement over there, - With clingy windows and broken stair,' 1 -Where foul disease, like a vampire crawls -With outstretched wings o'er the mouldy ..... ' WaliS. . : : There poverty dwells with her hungry brood, Wild-eyed as demons for lack of food; There shame, in a corner, crouches low; There violence deals its cruel blow; The innocent ones are thus aGcursed To pay the price of another's thirst. "Five cents a glass!" Oh, if that were all, The sacrifice would, indeed, be small! But the money's worth is tbe least amount We pay: and whoever will keep account .. Will learn the terrible waste and blight That foliows the ruinous appetite. . "Five cents a glass !' Does any one think That is really the price of a drink! - Josephine Pollard, in Harper's Bazar. Boycotted by the Girls."' The progress of temperance principles among the young Irish-Americans of the coal region within the last ten years is simply without a parallel in the history of temper ance reform. ; In fact, the temperance feeling is now so strong that no young man can enter . the charming, circle of female society unless he is tut avowed temperance man and wea-s ' the Father Matthew badge. Itiusnow come ' to such a pass that the young Irish-American ladies will have nothing to do with the man that drinks. By raising this boycott against the boys the girls have played the part of true temperance missionaries, in that they sue . eeeded in driving the young men into the so cieties.: An illustration of this was seen in the town of Beaver Meadow last spring, when all the gir.'s in the place combined and re solved that they would not accept the atten tion of any young man, until he had first signed the pledge and joined the "St. Aloysius Society. For a while it was thought that the young ladies were not in earnest, and that the boycott would soon be lifted. But the young ladies were determined, and when the young fellows found this out thev surren dered,and forthwith there was a rush for ad mission into the local temperance society. The latter is now in a very flourishing condi tion. ; Of those who join these temperace so cieties about ten out of forty, "fall from grace;" in other 'words, go back to drink. But tne deserter's downfall does not last long. After his debauch he sees the folly of his ways and thinks how happy he was when he was sober. -:' . I- But this is not the worst. All - bis friends are traveling in an opposite direction, and shun the outcast altogether. The result is that a man who breaks his pledge becomes disgusted with himself and returns to the society.; After taking the pledge for a second time he hardly ever goes back to drink again. The number who break the pledge a second time is only one in seventy A member who forfeits his membership in a society forfeits all his dues paid into the treasury by him. All the societies are beneficial, and take good care of the sick, wide W3 and orphans. The St .Moysius Society, of Wilkesbarre, has 4 SO names on its rolls and over $ 7,000 in its treas ury. The Father Mathew Society and the Father Mathew Cadets have 200 more mem bers. Every society has a handsome uni form. Brooklyn Citizen. ; Prohibition in Rhode Island. ' Dr. D A. Whedon, of Providence, R. L, in a late letter to tbe Northern Christian Ad-, voca te, gives an interesting account of tbe . origin of the movement for constitutional ' prohibition in that State, of its adoption by thepopular vote, of the subseqnent action of the Legis'ature-of the hostility of the Froyi deuce Journal to prohibition and to Chief Bray ton, of the obstac les in the way of en forcement, and also of tte gratifying succeis of the prohibitory law despite the opposition of the liquor-men and their political allies. We mote from this letter as follows: ''The report hasone abroad that prohibi tion in Rhode Island is a failure.- : Last week I was in Newport, the only .town in the world' where I have ever seen a .flaunting liquor and no open saloon greeted my vision. Thx "reformation extends throughout the State. . We here thinlcit a great gain over our formar experience. At the same time it must be confessed that the success has not been such as a fair trial of the law would have' given, or as wa expect iu'the fuiu'e. ". . . V" . After referring to the political conflicts, the change of administration, the -resignation of B.-a ton, and the appointment of the present Chief Curtis, he writes: "It is trua from April until near July there was great laxity . in lb. j enforcement of the l.m - fimr, Hnnhf fwiui-f? a a tsvwVtflf: T.rlA faTT Legislature would do ; every body was waiting , and the newspapers were pounding the law and the law-makers. " Moreover, Mr.. Curtis rwinired time to learn his duties and powers, and would not move until he was equipped J and ready. Inn was the worst period ot ine year, the period in which '. the loudest asser tions were made of the free and open sale of liquors. They were not true. ; One of the surest tests is in the comparison of arrests for three months ending July 1, 1887 with a cor responding period of the preceding year tinder licsnse. The comparison shows a de crease of arrests, as follows: . - - ; "Chief Curtis got fairly at work in July. Thirty-five raids in -one day with search warrants convinced the public, and especially the dealers, ; that he meant business. - The liquors thus seized are assayed, and if con demned, destroyed. The owner is then ar rested for 'keeping for sale,' and when that is disposed o' he is arrested again for maintain--ing a nu'sanca Thus in one way or another about 200 c-ses, involving as many features of law as possible, will be ready for the Sep tember an.i December courts. The traffic is driven from the public gaze and compelled to hide itself and do its vila work in secret. This is no small gain. And the reader may be-as-sured that the.law is now as honestly en forced as is any other on the. statute-book. There is,-" however, much work to be done, and there is a fixeu purpose to do it as far as the machinery of the law will go. Mean while it will probably continue to be said that more rum is sold than ever. If so why the anti-temperance cry against the law?" "The Captain Was Drunk," "The Captain was Drunk-' is t'-.e headline given an article referring to the disaster of" the "Vernon" on Lake Michigan. This is t ha second occurrence of the Kind with n a short time. . Such criminal negligence merits the severest punishment. Human lives are too precious to be thus trifled with under th9 charge of - an intoxicated - brute without reason and without principle. However the ' Government tolerates it, and no action is I taken against the drunken wretches; - and j those who declare their opposition to the sale j of that producing this result are pronounced i fanatics. It is probable that were tbe world t peopled with a few more "fanatics," there might be less misery, and fewer disasters, as I well as a gratitymg decrease in that disease known as general cussedness.

A "Western writer of experience tells .us that success in tree-planting1 depends more upon the proper performance of the work, and on the weather during the following season, than on the exact time the work is done. . Tree3 should be re planted about the same depth that they grew in the nursery ; this is readily seen by tbe earth-stain on. the bark. - Don't twist or crowd the roots ; into a snia'l hole. ' Dig a large hole, and spread "the roots out straight; fill the earth well among : them,- leaving no cavities "or spaces, and pack firmly. Mulching with coarse manure, straw or leaves; is Very beneficial to newly-planted trees. Water ing in , dry weather ; is essential, and it - shQUla; be clone thoroughly, for it will be labor lost if done stingily. . - Most Profitable Cattle to Feed. Yearlings that are. well-grown" and 2-year-olds are the most profitable ctttle to buys for feeding. : These may weigh 400 to 500 pounds for the first, and 700 to 800- pounds for the latter, if they have : hesn kept well, or one-fourth ; less, if otherwise. By feeding such as these" more weight can b" put on them , than upon older cattle, j Well-kept youngsters can be -made to gain one. pound a day from nqw until the same tima next year" Yearlings weighing 350 to 400 pounds may- do ; better, weighing 800 pounds after ? a year's feediig. A farmer "who goes into a business of feeding purchased stock should have a few hundred bushels of turnips and feed a yearling a peck of thern sliced and dusted with bran and salt every day, with two quarts of corn-meal,- and -; nit ., the good hay he ' will eat.. A shed 50 feet by 20, divided: into 20 pe,ns 8 by 5 ieet each, holding two animals,; will accommodate 40 head of yearling steers. By removing the horns the animals will not quarrel and will do much better. Neva York Times. - Shelter for Sheep. A Western North Carolina sheep keep er says in the New York Tribum: The shepherd should beware of too warm and close housing, and of exp6surexf the feet to wet, floppy manure yards. ; Sheep are foolish,;weak and generally unfortunate animals when; they are neglected but they know some things. They will go-in when it rains and lie out when it is tine, if they have proper accommodations. My shed is closed at three sides and open to the south, and this open front has two sets of hall doors, one hanging from the top; the other to a joist four feet from the floor, f : The lower ones are always opea, except when some unusual neces sity requires them to be closed ; the up per doors are closed in the winter at all times when storms and heavy winds pre-, vail, but otherwise are open," The sheep prefer the open yard, but in wet weather go inr under she ter. . The roomv varcL is closed in by a fence six feet high of 3- lneh pickets four inches .apart and two barbed j wires are run above the pickets from post to post to keep out trespassers. I sleep without .fear of dogs. This shel ter is in a 50-acre lot of open woods and the sheep come up every afternoon for a little fodder or a few grains of corn. - Transplanting Quince Trees. : In taking up a tree great care is nec essary to preserve all its roots; large and small. I If every root and rootlet cou d be preserved intactj and then well placed in the new location, there would be little check to its growth.- The nearer we come to this the better the prospect of success. The length of the roots . being reckoned equal to the height of the tree, we can tell about how far from the base of the tree we should begin to dig to get under the outer portion of its roots. - A forked spade is the best implement used, as i t does not cut the roots, and bruises them but little. : The digger should stand with his side toward the tree, and this fork will then go down so as to lift the roots entire, by working from the outer ends to the tree. .The larger share of fibrous roots will be found comparatively xear the surface. " ' " " ; - . r As soon as the tree is dug, earth must be thrown over its roots to keep them from drying by sun or wind. A cloudy day is desirable, and is alt the better if damp and without wind. If the tree has been raised from seed it jtvill have a tap root; - but if from a cutting there will be only laterals to care for. If any roots are bruised or .broken in digging, it will be welt to pare off the bruised parts smooth ly, and cut the ends of broken roots with a slant upward, so that the callus formed will emit i roots downward from these cut ends. I The hole for the trees should be about two spades deep, and; wider than the roots are long. Tn poor soil it pays to dig a hole from four to six feet across to plant a one-year tree, and still wider for older trees Throw out the suBsjil by itself, ; and either" spread it around on the surface., to be acted on by sun rain, and frost or to be removed for other .uses. The top soil is then filled into the bottom of the hole, and the tree, set on this,: so as to be a little deeper than it was before." Fill in among the roots rwith rich soil rather than mnnure. American Agriculturist - ' Drained Soil for Grape Vines. 1 Land for growing and ripening grapes can hardly be too dry. It is the thor ough drainage secured by the loose, sheil-iike forQiation of the soil that gives to some localities their great advantage for this business. Of course high sum mer lemperatures are important for ripen ing the fruit; but the warmth of the soil more than of the air above , it depends upon its freedom from excess of ' mois ture: Evaporation always chills. -: When surplus j moisture ' is conduced down through the subsoil into drains, evapora tion from the surface is reduced to the m:nimum; - ; . . - - . The time of year when the warming elect 'of I thorough- drainage t is ," most ptainly shown is early spring.'-: As the excess of water is carried downward the warm air follows it, rapidly parting with its heat to the soil through which it passes. I Every rain sufficient to sink down into the soil carries with, it more wa-mth; i Whatever ; vegetable matter is j-n . the soil . is st'mulated by heat into fermentation, and thus the warmth of the sil is further increased. . Taking the seasons through, it is" not tooinuch to ; say that a difference in warmth of several degrees in the soil may be made by thorough drainage, and this wilt in sure ripening of fruit when without it failure would certainly result. There will be no fear that the soil will be n ade too dry for grapes."- Some of the .roots will strike down to moist e r.h, however deep they may have-to go. - Calif o nia, where for months no rain falls, is one of the best grape-growing States ia the Union. Though other vegetation withers under, excessive heat and drought, the "deep-rooted grape j v.ne ripens its fmit more perfectly .thai : n vwher'j else, "i et doubtless in mo t :-;isjs th lavgr pa: t of the grape- root re noi far frOai the surface where " tL. soil is only slightly moist during the hot, dryr-eason. It is the liability to experi enoi cold rains at the time grapes should ripen that makes this fruit so precarious in our Eastern ; States. Gould -wehave uniform dry weather at this period, there would be warmth enough to ripen almost any variety.; While it is - impossible to prevent rain," we may 'yet greatly lessen their cooling effects on the soil by speedy removal of surplus jwater.

A lady who claims to have had twenty years' success offers ' this recipe in the Ohio Farmr for keeping eggs."- Take food fresh eggs and rub them over with melted lard,, thus closing the pores of the shell, r Then put a layer of oars or bran in a box- and a layer of eggs, setting them on the. small end and not allowing them to touch each other, separating them by oats or bran. "In this way fill the box and the eggs will keep fresh. "'A poultry-raiser tells the Maine Far mer that when he cuts a chicken's wings he gets some one to hold the birdj then takes the wing and stretches it out, ' and with a sharp knife commences near the body, leaving three or k four of the quill feathers next the body, without cutting, and cuts all the rest except three or -four at the tip end. That will take the wind out of their sails and prevent flying. The feathers left at the tip; of the wing en ables the hen f to keep her egg3 in place if you let her sit, and. when the wing is shut up it does not disfigure her. - " The Great Mines of the World. The world-famed Potosi mines of Bo livia yielded from 1546 to 1790, a period of 244 years, $1,000,000,000. This sum is large, but to obtain it the labor of five generations of miners was required.' In twenty-seven years the Comstock mines have yielded $410,000,000, and a new system of working is being inaugurated by which the lode will be made to yield as much more :- in the next thirty years. But three mines in all the world have pro duced more bullion than the Comstock. These are the Potosi with $1,000,000,000; Sierra Madrc, $300,000,000; and the Bio Grande, $650,000,000." Next to the Com stock comes the Veta Madre with a vield of $335,945,000: 5 The next in order, the Parmillian, -with $70,000,000, show a quick drop, and the yield of other mines of note then runs from $30, 000, 000 down to $16,000,000. : The; annual production of the whole world is now $200,000,000. Half of this amount is produced in the United States.: For twenty-five : years past Indiahas absorbed $38,000,000, and J China 000,000, being $4,uoo,uoo a year. . There are annually used in the arts in the UnitecL.Slates gold and silver bull ion to the value of $15,000,000, and in the rest of the world not less than $35, 000,000, making a total of $50,000,000, and.for loss and abrasion," .$3,000,000 more may be set. down.

A CHINESE WIFE. A VISIT TO HER BOUDOIR IN THE METROPOLIS. How a Chinese Merchant's Spouse . Iiives Her Looks and Dress- ' The Rooms and Fnrni-v , tnre A Uonely Life. . Lee Chick San Chong, ; a merchant at 21 Mott street, captured by my smiles consented to introduce ;me to his wife and - her boudoir, .which I supposed would be -as interesting- as the woman, writes a New York correspondent of the Detroit Tribune.- His store was in the basement and his wife lived on the first floor. I followed my guide through a dirty, uncarpeted hall to the door at the farthest eqd. .He rapped rather vigor ously with his knuckles oh. the portal, which had no outside . knob or latch. After a while it was unlocked on the in side, he pushed it open and we stood on the inside. Almost in the rear of the room with some sewing in her hand, stood the woman I ! had - come to see. She smiled at her husband and looked at toe without fear orrsurprise, but as a babe looks at a new object held before its innocent eyes. - Lee Chick San Chong spoke to her in his- peculiar language, and then turning to me said: "My wife." Anofher moment 'and the little brown fingers covered with rings were clasped in my gloved hand, and-we were looking at each other as only two women can. What she said is left to the imagination,- but this is what I gazed upon with interest. - - T A little woman not more than five feet high, with the blackest of eyes, - which were larger and more open "than those of the. average Chinaman.- She had 1 the typical Mongolian face "with a complex ion that from the exclusion - of sunlight resembled bleached go'den wax. . Her blue black ha;r was combed Lack without a part, dressed over the ears like a half oyster shell and down the back of the head in a long oblong puff. Gold rings kept it all in place, but it had the appear ance of being soaped to make it: smooth and stiff. The forehead . was extremely, high and the eyebrows had a habitually surprised curve. The cheeks were round, dotted with charm ing dimples, the n ost a little inclined to flatness bnt withal piquante, the teeth exquisitely white and beautifully shaped and .the j lips either artificially dyed or naturally a rich car mine. r With the air and look of childish innocence Mrs. San Chong was not bad to look at. -;- ;:" -' . ' . ! ' " -' But her dress! - It is hard to descrilc it - so as tc give an idea of its delicate beauty. It was a light blue silken rbbt trimmed with bands of -crimson silk. The upper robe was made . with-; flowing sleeves, which disclosed-a similar- white silk robe underneath. The skirt or pet ticoat of plain crimson was made per fectly straight and touched i the floor. Her tiny ieet not more than five inches in length were covered ' With white silk hosiery and inserted in dainty Chinese slippers of blue silk, embroidered in gold, with whitesatin-covered soles. Her arm were " loaded with bracelets j of several kinds, and her cars held rings of enor mous size. Her silver thimble, v "witi which she had been sewing, still clasped the little brown linger. It' was a silver band worn on the second joint of th middle finger, s Mrs, San Chong moved around with a quiet grace and ease thai would be the -envy, of a Fifth avenui belle". " " . The rooms, if not beautiful, possessed in an eminent degree that virtue whicl is next to godliness. In front of a small private' altar joss sticks and sandal-wood censers threw lit tle -smoke clouds of per fume into the air..: Grotesque pictures, statuary and. bric-a-brac ornamented the walls. Here , and there banners and scrolls of gorgeous hue and covered with quotations from the great masters o China reached from, ceiling to 'floor. White curtains half concealed doors and windows. The furniture was like some of the inhabitants of North street, a curi ous conglomeration of America and Can ton. Canton or Fuan Tung, by the way. is the New York of. Southern, China.

A We drank a social; cup of tea from . china cups about -twice, the size of t ; thimble, and after wishing one another "Kung he fa tio," the equivalent of " J wish yoirgreat prosperity," the interview was over, v It would seem that the womei never wear the breeches in the Celestial Empire, but when I asked Lee Chick,' he sighed and said that there were just as many henpecked husbands in the Orien "allee same Amelika.'' -3 t - . An Indian's Idea of Greatness. .Every year during the autumn month, a huge"sweat"-hous9 was erected, and the inhabitants of all -the surrounding Indian villages were invited to attend. Every crevice in the covering of this swel tering hole which would peimit the en:" , trance of a breath of air was carefullj closed, and after a sumptuous feast, con sisting of acorn soup and venison, .the bucks, with Jack at their head would crawl into this stifling hole, in the centre of which burned a hotJire.: - Around the blaze the naked savages danced wierdlj until the heat became: so intense thai , each one, sooner or later, fell to- the 1 ground exhausted. ' Then came the test of endurance, which -was to develop the greatest man of the party, . The ; yictoi was the one who could broil the longesi and live. They would: form : into twe "sections' and arrange themselves at" full length, face downward, on either side ol the fire, with their noses rooted to the ground. Occasionally a stalwart buck would stand erect ancLwith his blanket fan the flame over in the direction of the other party. Then he would, subside and undergo similar treatment until. the heat became uneadurable even to an In dian, and they would crawl : out one by lone more dead ihan alive, break the ice in an adjacent creek and plunge in. The last one to emerge from this veritable "furnace was invariably Captain Jack, and he was crowned and'erowned again with all the Honors that his, Indian subjects could bestow, San Francisco Call... r Tennessee has an area of 5,100 square ,miles of coal, which covers twenty-two .counties. - During the past six years the output of coal in the State has grown from 494,000 tons to 1,700,000 tons, an increase of."400 per cent. . ; t THE SAY AGE WAY. .

JV Latter day society has wandered, too far away lrom nature, m everyway, lor its own good.

All these remedies are-' carefully prepared from recipes which were found, after long investi gation, to have been those most successfully used by our ; grandmothers of "ye olden time." ... They are the simple, vegetable, effi- . cacious remedies of .Log Cabin days. - , . An American Editor at Gravlotte. Editor Murat Halstead was at Grav-. lotto in 1870, and saw as much of that battle as any one conld - see. He said that it was all smoke and confusion, however, to an. unprofessional mind. It was difficult to tell what was taking place.- While he was waiting about, Bismarck came along, riding with our Phil Sheridan.- Halstead called out to Sheridan to tell him briefly - what ' had taken place. Sheridan did not recog nize him until he had taken off his hat, and then lie said: -- j : : fcHello, Halstead! What are ypu doingdown here?" - ' Halstead replied in an off-hand way, "I am just down here looking about. I thought it might be interesting." . - At this word "interesting" Lismarck burst out laughing. "If that is not an American way of putting it," said he. "So you think it is interesting, " and again he laughed.:- " : r : 7 :: - - Bismarck treated ' him very politely after Sheridan introduced him, but he would not give him permission to buy a horse, and the editor, footsore and weary; had to make his way as best he could to the nearest raUway station. : r J Mr. Halstead had a number, of in teresting experiences during this war. He sairl that he , used to be arrested about" thirty times a day. He never had any difficulty with the higher Ger man officials. From them he always re ceived courtesy and attention, . but from the subordinates he never re ceived anything but incivility and dis conrtesy; " Take all the sorrows out of life, and ' you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. Sorrow is the furnace , that melts selfish hearts together in love .. : Tear Teach More Than Books.'. Among- other valuable lessons imparted by this teacher is the fact that for a very long time Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" has been the prince of -liver correctives and blood purifiers, being the household physician of the poor man,and the able consulting physi cian to the rich patient, and praised by all for its magnificent service and efficacy in all dia-: eases of a chronic nature, as malarial poison ing, ailments of the respiratory and digestive systems, liver disease and in all cases where tne use of an alterative remedy is indicated. Good manners and good morals are sworn friends and firm allies. A Wonderful Food and Medicine, Known and used by physicians all over the world.

"Ihavebeen using Scott's Emulsion for several years, and am pleased with its action. My patients say it is pleasant -and palatable, and all grow b' ronger and gain flesh by the use of it.

In illustra tion further of facts which settle the points of a prompt and permanent cure, the fol lowing cases are cited : In 1884 Mrs. Mary K. Sheed . suttered terribly,: with- chrome neuralgia. She writes from 1110 Maryland Avenue, Washington, D. C In. the first in stance she states : "I suffered terribly with neuralgia: in the face ; r very : severe attack extending to "back and shoulders ; suffered intensely. Tried St, Jacobs Oil; had parts well-ubbed at' nierht; in the morning all pain gone, mafacaTly." " Junev 10, 1887, she . writes from 224 Eleventh Street, 8. W ., as - follows : "Pour yeare ago I sent you a vol xmrary certificate setting forth the fact that I had been a great suflferer with neuralgia in my face,neck and . shoulders. I obtained a bottle of St. Jacobs OH, and after three ap plications I was entirely relieved from all pain, and from that time to the present I have never had a return. The enect was miraculous." Again, Feb: 6, 1887, Mr. K. G. Troll, St. Louis, Mo., writes : "In March, :. 1881, 1 suffered terribly with neuralgia ; had ' suffered nearly three years. Applied St. Jacobs Oil at 8.15 A. M. ; at 8.40 took the rag off;'at 9AM,went to work. In less than five minutes after- that the pain was gone. :The one application cured me. Have not had return or it since." . Mr. E. W, Bpangler, York, Pa., June 17, 1887, writes : "Years ago had neuralgia ; am not subject to it now; The cure by the use -of St. Jacobs Oil was permanent. . There has been no re currence of the painful affliction." Chas. W. Law, Jr., Potlstown, Pa.,: April 19, 1887, writes: "Was troubled for years with neu ralgia in neck and -head; r Tried St. Jacobs Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies without effect. One bottle of the former did the business. No return of pain and aches." In almost every instance the reports are the same. : ti l D DER'O v - A SURE CURB FOR INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA.

Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce's Cioldeu medical Dis covery acts powerfully upon tho Liver, and through that great blood-purifying organ, cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally eflBeacious in acting upon the Kidneys,- and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing tlieir diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion ana nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases.

From its mar- -veloua power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-tamed rem edy to the public.
