I was much troubled last winter witha severe cold, which continued to get worse, until I feared it would settie on my lungs. My cough was increasing.

Sept. 28, 1874.—Imo Brackwoov'’s MaGazine for September comes to us from Leonard Scott Publishing Co., 41 Barclay street New York. The lead- ing political article is a ‘‘ Review of the Sess sion,” in which the writer takes comefort in the political situation, and assures us that “the tone of the public mind is more healthy, and the prospects of sound government are more assured."’ The serials, ‘‘ Alice Lorraine”’ and “ Valentine and his Brother’ are con- tinued, and in both of them the storm eles ments, which have been gradually gathering are abcut to burst. The Tributein Memoriam to Charles Sumner is by W. W. Story, with whose contributions,both in prose and poetry the pages of Blackwood are occasionally en- riched. No.6 of ‘International Vanities” comes to us like a letter from an old friend. It treates of Diplomatic Privileges, and tells us how the telegraph and rapid postal delivery have diminished the importance of the pro- fession of ambassadore, and left it ‘though stillsuperior to lawyering, doctoring, and soldiering,’’ only a faded remnant of its fors mer self. The past history and present con- dition of ambassadorial prerogative are | pleasantly contrasted. The writer is of | Opinion that ‘diplomatic privileges now | means in practice little more than the power | of smoking untaxed totacco.

This is not objectionable for butter making, but it is ohjectionable for cheese making. Cream from a farrow cow's milk will not all come if churned with cream from new milch cows.

Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “* What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR Brr- vERS?” Our answer is, that they remeve the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the reniarkable qualities of Vingear Brrrsrs in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. WaLKERr’s Vinecar Bitrers are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudoritic, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim V m&- EGAR Bitters the most wonderful In- vigorant that ever sustained te sinking system. No Persgn can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unweil, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inier- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throuchout the Uniged States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- 828, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pear], Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- nnoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influenee upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartie for the purpese equal to Dr. J. WALKER’s VINEGAR BITTERs, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viseid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all ils fluids with VryrGat Brrrers. No epidemic can take held of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Iead- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpits- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of th Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid- neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment. . Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, ete. In these, as in all other constitutional Di:- enzes, WALKER’s VINEGAR Birrens have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, th ese Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in hfe, are subject to paralysis of thé Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER’s VIN- EGAR BITrers occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- | | ! | tion of the functions the advice throughout | | is admirable.”— Wirvror.

If you were to bring an action for breach of promises against me the lawyers would copy the correspondence between us and charge fourpence for every folio of seventy-Lwo words. The shorter the letters the more we save from the lawyers.’ The pounding of the stomach for the cure of dispepsia was the cause of a good joke the other day. Two men were describing what they had done to cure themselves. ‘Do you knead your stomach?’ ‘{—I—coulda't get along without it!’ responded the other in the last stage of astonishment. iA most amusing blunder oecurred in a | Paris newspaper lately.
