DEAD OR ALIVE ?

Is lite worthy lining unless.l perfect health s enjoyed? . , ~~

Recent yearshave developediancli wonderfnl discoveries in the fields, of science, art, and manaf actares, that it seems almost strange that nature is not completely Bnperccded and everything " performed artificially, "ft here oar forefathers used the flmfc and steel we employ the wax match, and instead /o£ the old fashioned lamps and candles we have gas and electric lights. Wff.bave also replaced the old rambling stage coach with oar railways and electric trams. Generally speaking, so much progress has not been a ade in the field 'of medicine, very few really important discoveries (with cue notable exception) having beea made ; disease still treads its insidious coarse among the inhabitants of'this fair land. What is it, and how does it get into the body? Disaase makes ils attack so gently and developes itself so gradually, --that many people never" anspect its deadly presence until a dangerous stage is reached. They neglect tbe fir6t signs, as a^eeling of - weakneßS,-dnll eyee, -fickle appetite, pains in the sides, ; dark or muddy urine, continual tired feeling cs atid restless and~ .wakefal nighte,- these only 'toq^ plainly tell the approach of some^;phys?cal affliction, bitterfy^do people thus* attacked rue their carelessness and thoughtlessness in diaxegarding-s the early afid-'^jfarable stages'. ■" A tinjetyiase of UlementsbToriic would Have restored ihe health and vigor, insured reßt and rebuilt the physical and nervous constitutions, and reinvigorated the whole physical structure ; its ; price iff so' low tnat a long course of" it can be taken for lees money than one visit to a doctor will cost and yon have a medicine wb^cb has proved ita virtues in hundreds .i otcaseß, whereas the doctor's prescription ■; ißhip^hazardand^experimentalf. A'gentler- man bbjectsfto have his.naaja.publißhed, writes: Sydney, — Dear Sir, — For some time past I hav,e been in the hands of the doctors, and 1 can truthfully, assert thac.l obtained not the slightest benefit';' I heard of Clements Tonic, and have taken three bottles with Bueb. marked good, results as to cause me to write and congratulate you on the very excellent virtues of your remedy. It has completely cared me of all my disorders, and I feet myself an entirely different man. A friend of mine to whom 1 gave a bottle, half of which he has taken, says he feels wonderfully better in his general - health, and, with myself, begs to cordially thank you forgiving the public the benefit . of yoor skill in manufacturing ,such a splendid tonic. Ido not wish my name nsed ia print, ■ bat hope yob are 7ery pros perous : in the . .sale of yoqr medicine, sb. you jastly deserve." We must, however, give one word of warning. Some un- . scrupulous traders are only too unxiousjto force some vile imitation of Clements' - Tonic 'upon an ' unsuspecting purchaser. We consider tbe man who practices such • deceit and will trifle with the sufferings oi unfortunate men and women, to be desti- - tate of all honor arid honesty,' or at.

Reader, take this lesson to heart, and read these, words to the swindler who tries to impose upon you with a substitute, which he knows is worthless, ask for und insist on Clements Tonic Laberatories, Newtown, N.

FEEDING HOGS FOR^EAN MEAT. I It is oheaper (says the Philadelphia Met. yrd) to produce meat that contains a large proportion of lean with the fat than -to fatten a hog to such v condition aa tjb fit it only for the production of lard, and ! it is a I fact that in for lean meat a greater i weight of carcass is seoared, and at no | more expense than in producing: an excess of fat. * This is explained by reason of the fact that when an animal is given food ! containing tbe elements of growth of bone ' and muscle as well as fat, the condition of [ the animal is sustained in a manner to permit of more perfect digestion and-assimi-lation, and a greater appropriation for the support of the system of the nutritious elements that are required, and whioh are more evenly distributed through the body, instead ot the.somi diseased condition produced when corn is given as an exclusive | diet. Henco the. farmer who diminishes I the ration of maize, allowing bat a portion only, substituting therefore bran, middlings, milk, and clover (cat fine and scalded) will have his hogs larger, heavier, healthier, and of better quality of flesh .than from corn, ■ While giving the 1 "advantages of a systematic, method of feeding for the best results in producing the i heaviest and, best pork^the fact that prime lard brings a price that makes it desirable on the part ob the farmer to have bis hogs very fat, it must be Admitted that it its a serious obstacle ia the way when the value of lean meat iß_advocated.,jDut_the lean in simply 'interspersed wit^h the. fat, and the greater increase from the variety of food ] does not diminish the supply of lard. The farmer will find that on those portions of | .the carcass f ro.m whioh the . lard Is procared bat little difference will be observed, and the bog .will be amch more valuable.as I a whole.
