PROGRESS OF THE COUNTRY:.
* ,
The New York " Mercantile Journal " contains the following interesting sta¬
tistical review of the progress of the United States in population and in a num¬
ber of branches of enterprise: •
In the year 1700, or only one century after the regions of territory now
included within the limits of the American Union had been referred to as a
howling wilderness, the popnlatioa ef the English colonies here was 262,000.
In 1749-60, it had risen to 1,000,0' 0. Twenty-five years later, or just before
the outbreak of the Revolution, it was 2,840,300, and in 1780 had increased to
3,929,357. In i860, the year of the latest regular census enumeration, it was
31,442,321. In this year, notwithstanding the civil war that has intervened, we
have no fear of exaggeration in placing it at 85,000.000, nor in expecting to
see the number multiplied to 40,000,000 by 1870. The growth from 1775 to
1790, was 64 per cent, and from 17S0 to 1860, seven hundred per cent., which
carried out at the same rate would give us between two and three hundred mil¬
lions 70 years hence—a stupendous prospect of National power, and, we trust,
of civilization, union and happiness also. The number of acres of land assesse.'
for direct taxes under the Act of July 14th, 1798, was 163,746,688, non include
Louisiana and a large mass of lands exempted by various provisions of law, as v
as all lots on which houses worth $100 were erected. In 1809, the imprc
lands in the United States embraced 63,570.000 acres. In 1860, the accc
stood as follows : &
IMPROVBD IN FARMS. UNIMPROVED. CASHVALUB
In the States, 102,649.848, 241,943,671. §6,631,520,046
Territories, 460,872. 2,158,147. 13,524,901
103,110,720. 244,101,818. $6,645,045,007.
Thus showing that the quantity of land improved in farms in I860, was al¬
most equal to the total area subject to valuation in 1798. Thus, the increase
18
ALMANAC FOR 1867.
was in the ratio of 1,286 percent., or 2,074 per cent, per annum for the 62
years. The increase of areas under cultivation between 1850 and 1860, was 44
per cent. This would soon cover all the available soil of the Union with agri¬
cultural improvement, and the mind of man has probably never conceived any¬
thing so beautiful as the appearance of the Middle and Western States, with
their innumerable gardens and limitless held'! ct giain, under the culture of
half a century hsnce.
'Che financial business Machinery of the Country, as we now behold it, is of
comparatively recent date. We find that only one association for banking pur¬
poses is mentioned previously to 7775. It was known as "the Land Bank of
Massachusetts," which was established in 17-39—40. but soon after disallowed by
Parliament. When the National Government went into operation, the Bank of
North America, chartered in 17SI, the Bank of New York, established in 1784
and chartered in/1791, and the Bank of Massachusetts, at Boston, were the
only concerns of the kind existing among u«. Their conjoint capital scarcely
exceeded §2,000.000. In 1850, there were in the United Stales 872 banks, with a
■capital of $227,000,000, and in I860, 1562, with a capital of $421,000,000, On
November 1st, 1865. there were 1801 National Banks, cf which CIO were new
concerns, and 922 were conversions from Stale institutions. The enormousmul-
tipliealion of these establishmer! ts within the last year is worthy of grave re¬
flection, and we have hut too just reason to lear, may result much as the dis¬
proportionate inflation of financial companies in England has so lately done.
The estiafated amount cf National Bank notes on January 1st, 1866, was
$389,000,0(10 ; $80,000,000 from Ptate Banks, and $129,000,000 supposed to have
been issued since October 1st, 1865, to the National Banks. -Our return of
precious metals for the fiscal year ending June 30tb, 18G5, was $100.000,000,and
our Treasury receipts or the same period, $920,500 010. This financial exhibit
U certainly very encouraging, provided that no serious danger ts lurkin- in the
rapidly advancing influence of the new National Bank system.
Insurance ip a branch of business which has made great progress on this side
of the Ocean. Although the first office in America was opened in Boston only
iu 1724, and thefe was none other until the I'hiladelphians established one in
3750, the number cf insurance compani s in full successful operation in 1860,
was 204 with capital and assels amounting to $82,170,219; at risk $2,605,538,-
"19. The IjShij^by sea end fire for 1S60, were $50,595700. In life insurance
there were" 4f'4ffices. insuring 60,000 lives at $180,000,000, with annual premium
of $7,000,0^10. "ysince then the business has grown with great fapidity in all
parts of ll(|J Country, and we continually hear of new traveling and accidental
insurance yoropanies, who meet with great favor at the hands of thatpurtion of
the publie whom they specially address.
for internal improvements, the United States are emphatically the wonder
of the world. It is amazing to contrast the situation of the country in that
respect, as it is row, with what it was at the beginning of the century. As
late as 1784 nut a single canal had been dug, and as for railroads, no person, ap¬
parently, had thought of them. In IiGO-61, there were 118 canals and slack
water improvements completed, in a length of 54.211 miles, at a cost for 68 of
them amounting to $147,393,997, the remainder not having been reported with
sufficient accuracy to admit of repetition. In 1860, our commercial railroads
were equal to 30,793,07 lineal miles, at a construction cost of $1,151,560,829,
and our city passenger railroads were equal to 402.57 miles, costing $14,862,840.
But it is, after all, in real and personal property ' that the United States have
made the most surprising advance. In 1789, the total for taxation was $519,-
077,217 92, the dwelling houses numbering 276,659. In 1860 it had attained
$10,109,616,068, according to the Marshals'returns, while the aggregate indi¬
vidual returns made, of course, with much more accurate and intimate knowl¬
edge, amounted to $19,089,150,289. The increase was two-fold in the ten years
between 1850 and ls»60. and unquestionably would have been equally great in
the decade, now more than half by, hsd not the devastation of protracted
warfare intervened. However, the substantial basis for future improvement re¬
vealed by the census returns, which have furnished us with the foregoino- facts,
leave no room for doubt that the next series of similar papers will not*find us
fainting in the way of National prosperity.

ures $13,G94,728, the rate of increase being 17 per cent., and of ex¬
penditure 8 per cent., compared with the previous year. Postage

was 4,368,087. There weie 74,277 money«ordersissued, of the value
of $1,360,122. The revenues of the past fiscal year exceeded the
highest annual receipts from all the states previous to the rebellion by
$6,038,091. The average annual increase of the revenue for the
last four years over the preceding four years was $3,533,845. The
Postmaster-general thinks.tbat m a few years letter postage tnay he-
reduced to the rate adopted by Great Britain.
Items from the Census reports.—In 1700 the entire population of
the Anglo-American colonies was 2G2.000 ; in 1750, it was 1,000,000
in 1775,2,389,300. In 1790 the population of the United States
alone was, 3,929,827 ; and in i860, 31,#43,321. Anticipated popu¬

forces be added, the grand total would be reached of 4,000,000 of
men at arms—the largest force ever yet raised in any country or age
of the world.
. Our Indian Population.—According to the best data in the posses¬
sion of the Indian Department at Washington, there are now between
320,000 and 350,000 Indians within the limits of the United States,
comprised in about seventy-five tribes, and occupying about a hun¬
dred localities.
Cisterns, and IIow to Make Them—-Where bricks are to be had,
they are easily constructed with the aid of water-lime. The mortar
should he composed of one part water-lime to two parts of good sharp
sand, and made in such quantities only as can he immediately used-
Good cisterns of moderate size can be made easily from inch and a half
plank, well joiated together, hooped like a barrel, overlaying the bot¬
tom with coatings of the cement until it is water-tight. Where the
soil is loose, and the plank would be liable to leakage, a coating of the
mortar, if rightly put on, will render the cistern thoroughly tight. In
building cisterns with filters, it is necessary to have a water-tight di¬
vision in the .cistern, on oue side of which the supply of water is re¬
ceived. At the bottom of this division is a thiek layer of clean sand,
through which the wa'er has to pass so get to that division from which
the water is drawn. The art of making these filtering cisterns is sim¬
ple, and they can be easily constructed by any good mechanic. It is
estimated that a barn thirty by forty feet supplies annually from its
roof £04 barrels, or enough for more than two barrels a day yearly. If,
however^ this water was collected and kept for the dry season only, 20
or 30 barrels daily might be used. A cistern 10 feet in diameter and
9 feet deep, will hold 168 barrels. That is a very good size to make
barn cisterns. If you want more capacity, make two.
Stucco or White Wash.—To make a brilliant Stucco white-wash
for ail buildings, inside and Outside, take a bushel of clean lumps of
well burned lime, slaked : add one-fourth pound of whiting or burned
alum pulverized, one pound of loaf sugar, three quarts of rye flour,
made into a thin and well boiled paste, and one pound of the cleanest
glue, dissolve as cabinet makers do. This may be put on cold within
doors, but hot outside,

GARDENERS'! CHRONICLE.
JANUARY.—Sow pens, spinach, lettuce, cabbages, radishes, par¬
sley, beets, carrots, salsafy, parsnips, turnips, asparagus. Plant horso
radish, Irish Potatoes. ^Transplant cabbages and lettuce.
BEBRUARY—Sow peas, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, radishes, corn,
beets, carrots, salsafy, parsnips, turnips, thyme, sage, and other
plants. Plant Irish potatoes. Transplant cabbages and lettuce.
Remarks.—The same varieties of pease may be sown this month as
were directed for the last. The principal crop*of beets and carrots
should now be sown. The common varieties Of spinach should be
sown in small quantities once in ten days, as it soon runs to seed.
MARCH.—Sow, carrots, beets, Swiss chard, parsnips, salsafy,
cabbages, spinach, turnips, leeks,^tomatoes, peppers, Guinea squash.
Plant cucumbers, okra, squashes, snap beans, cushaw, sewoe beans,
New Zealand spinach. Transplant ■ tomatoes, peppers, Guinea
squash, cabbages and lettuce. Remarks.—All the above vegetables
should be got in at as early^a period as possible Carrots should now
be sown for a full crop, and/rom English seed. Lettuce should re¬
main where it is sown. New Zealand spinach should be sown in
hills, three feet apart each way. Radishes should be sown every
three weeks. All IrishjPotatoes should be planted this month.
APRIL.—Sow carrots, beets, salsafy, turnips, cabbages, cauliflowers
brocoli, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, lettuce, celery, leeks. Plant
okra, snapbeans, squashes, seweebeans, cucumbers, cughaws, melons.
Transplant cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, Guinea Squashes. Tick out
celery. Remarks.—The sowing of the main crop of carrots for sum¬
mer and autumn, ought not to be delayed longer than tliia month,
as they will be easily killed when up. The seed should be from
Europe, or they will run to seed in the fall. Cucumbers, squashes,
and melons, do not succeed welbif delayed until now, but a few may
be sotvn.
MAY.—Sow cabbages, savoys, carrots, beets, turnips, cauliflowers
brocoli, celery, radishes. Plant snap tbeans. Transplant cabbages.
Pick out celery. Remarks,—There is little probability of either
beets parsnips, carrots, or turnips succeeding at this season, especi¬
ally the last ; yet if wanted, a few may be ventured—under very
favorable circumstances, they nlay succeed. If carrots be sown, the
grbund should be sladed and kept moist, and this continued to the
plants, sometime after they are up, or they will be killed by the hot
sun.
fs? JUNE.—Sow cauliflowers; t brocoli, cabbages, carrots, tomatoes.
Plant'snap beans, okra Transplant celery, cabbages, leeks. Pick
out cauliflowers, brocoli, and celery. Remarks.—This month is
generally very dry and hot. and all the crops recommended to be
sown now,, must be protected from the sun ; most of them should
have been sown in April, and it is only in case of failure or omission

ALMANAC—-1867.
that they should now"be"sown; the mouth may hs considered bad
for the sowing of seeds generally.
JULY.—Sow early Dutch'turnipa/'nila jbaga, carrots, parsnips,
cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, endive, radishes, spinach. Plant
snap beans, Irish Potatoes, melons. Transplant cabbages, celery,
cauliflowers, brocoli, tomatoes, and jjleeks. Remarks.—A fiw^ only
of carrots, parsnips, spinach or radishes, should be sown a? it is not
very probable that they will succeed, uules well protected from the
sun for some length of time, while young. The early Dutch turnips
should also he sown towards|,tbe middle and last of the month, in
small quantities. The Irish potatoes w.- ■ no fit for use n October
and the tomatoes, will furnish a supply when the spring grown
Top has ceased to bear, and then continue fill killed by a frost.
AUGUST.—Sow peas, early Dutch and jotlier varieties of turnips
ruta liaga, onions, cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, black Spanish
radishes, carrots, beets, parsnips, salsafy, lettuce, and endive. Plant
snap beans. Transplant cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, celery, rula
baga, endive. Remarks.—Not much can be expected from peas
sown tbis month, as they will be much crippled by the high winds
and rain which we usually have ; but if much wanted a few may be
ventured. The beets and spinach are liable to the attacks of the
worms, which destroy their leaves : should!1 tbey^escape these they
will he fine.
SEPTEMBER.—Sow earlyljjDutch and otherjvarieties of turnips,
ruta baga, beets, Swiss chard, mangle wurzle, carrots, parsnips, sal-
safy, lettuce, spinach, cabbages,"onions,'radishes, endive. Plant snap

spinach, salsafy, parsnips, rutajbaga. ; Transplant cabbages, cauli¬
flowers, brocoli, onions, lettuce, leeks, and endiv- .
NOVEMBER.--Sowj peas, cabbages, radishes, carrots, spinach,
turnips, parsnips, lettuce, beets, salsafy. ,t Plant mazaron and^Windsor
beans. Transplant cabbages, lettuce, onions, andBleekg.
DECEMBER.—Sow peas, spinach,' radishes, lettuce, cabbages,
salsafy, carrots, beets, parsnips.'?* Plant Irish'Potatoes, mazaron and
Windsor beans. Transplant cabbages, lettuce and onions.
A WoRn>o'FARMEEs—In the present condition" of the South, econ¬
omy of labor should be practiced. Labor:, saving-machines 'should be
sought after. The lands must he more carefully cleaned and improved,
so as to secure'the largest yield with the'least labor. Poor and rongh
lands will be to « great extent thrown out of cultivation, as *ot afford¬
ing it; On ail grass lands greater attention ought to be given to the
raising of stock of all descriptions, as requiring fewer hands, and as
bringing into advantageous use, tracts too rough or foul for profitable
cultivation.. The Southern people have a problem, to work out such as
has seldom lallen to the lot.of any community, and one that is sure to
tax all their resources, mental and material.
ALMANAC—1867.

Mortality in War.—From the report made to the late SlatSwti'
cal Congress at Berlin, by E. B. Elliot, representing our Ranitaiv
Commission, it appears that the deaths in our army in the late civ;1
war averaged 72 ill each 1,000 every year ; of which only 20 die. ,
in battle or of wounds, and 52 from disease or other causes. The
ordinary mortality at the same age in civil life is 9 or 10 in 1,0(19
and of soldiers in peace, 26 in 1,000. The proportion of officers
killed in battle is larger than of soldiers ; but twice as many privates
in proportion die ot disease.
During Wellington's campaign in Spain, his.army lost at the isle
of ICO in 1,000 annually ; aud in the Crimean war, the mortality in
the hospitals alone was 230 in 1,000, besides those who died in battle.
Our soldiers in general were of better material than those in Europe
both physically and morally.
The latest military reports of Europe show that it has an aggre¬
gate of nearly 5,000,000 men under arms in time of peace, aboul
one in 65 of the entire population, and one in 20 of the adult male
population, a proportion greatly increased in time of war. But in
our late war the North had not over one in 50 of its entire population
in the field, or one in 24 of its adult males. Meanwhile our popula¬
tion went on increasing,and there were 150,000 more voters after th
war than before.
American Ison-clads.—The sea-going qualities of vessels of the.
monitor class have been triumphantly tested by their safe passage
across the ocean to England, and around CapeHorn to Ran Francisco.
Their progress was remarkably uniform from day to day ; and thev
proved very buoyqjit, and indifferent to storms. Admiral Porter
says, in a report after the capture of fort Fisher, " The Monadnock,"
a double-turreted monitor of four guus, l<could destroy any vessel
in the French or British navy, lay their towns under contribution,
aud return again—provided she could pick up coal—without fear of
being followed: She certainly could clear any harbor on our coast,
of blockaders, in case we were at war with a foreign power." The
Monadnock attracted great attention in Europe, where her remarka¬
ble superiority, both for attack and defence, was generally conceded.
Losses of thb Northern Armies.—The Provost Marshal-general
ha3 compiled a complete list of all the deaths in battle and from
wounds and disease, of every regiment from all the Northern states
during the war. This record shows that 280,751 officers and men
lost their lives in the service ; of whom 5,221 commissioned officers
aud 90,886 enlisted men.were killed in action or died of wounds,
and 2,321 commissioned officers and 182,329 men died of disease.
Genius ani» Labor.—Alexander Hamilton once said to an inti¬
mate friend : " Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius
that I have lies just in this : When I have a subject in hand I study
it profoundly. Day and night it is before me, I explore it in all
its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort
which I make is what the people are pleased to call the fruit c(
genius, It is the fruit of labor and thought."
ALMANA®—-186?.
Mr. Webster onoe replied to a gentleman who pressed kn» to
speak on a subject of great importance : "The Bubject interests
me deeply, but I have not time. "There, sir," pointing to a huge
pile of letters on the table, "Is a pile of unanswered letters? to
which I must reply before the close of session, (which was then! hres
days off.) I have not time to master the subject so M to do It
justice.
" But, Mr. Webster, a few words from you would so Much
awaken public attention to It"
" If there be so much weight In my words as vou represent, it is
because I do not allow myself to speak on any subject till I have
imbued my mind with it."
Demosthenes was once urged to speak on a great and sudden
emergency. " I am not prepared," said he, and obstinately refused.
The law of labor is equally binding on genius and mediocrity.
John Chinaman's SotUcanv, The Union Demnecat (OaBfomla) says
"A moon-eyed Celestial, with chopstiok in hsrnd, sat eating the rioe
of his dear native land ; when oeasing at length Ms belly to fill, he
communed with himself on the Civil Bights bill. No more eatee lies,
no more eatee rat; me Meliean [American] man, and mustn't do that
Me votee, me swear, and do what I will for saoh is the law of the Civil
Bights bill. No mora hnntee hole nor hide like a mice, when tax man
he ojma a hunting for licao [license ; ] for Meliean Congress say John
Chinaman is good as a nigger or any white wife: then Chinaman happee
the rest of his life. Me wactee big offiee whenever me vote , me wantee
plug hat and leng Shanghai eoat. John Chinaman, Meliean say what
they will, for such is the law of the Civil Rights bill. John twisted his
pig-tail and looked at his clothes, wide opened his month, and grew red
it the nose. Me felt a contempt for the pick and the drill since Con¬
gress had passed the Civil Bights bill. But after reflection John broke
out anew, as if he had resolved what course to pnrsue, ' Me no like a
nigger,' the Chinaman said, 'he no Melioan man, with his woolly black
head. Me kiok him, me liok him, me hit, and me spankee, for John
Chinaman is as good as a Yankee. Darkee no good, he smell nm too
strong; he no likee Chinaman , say tail too long. Me nh likee Irish¬
man , he fight urn too muoh. Me no likee Prenehason :. me no likee
Dutch. Me likee Charles Sumner , me likee Thad. Stevens , fer they
are content to take Chinaman's leavings. So now me a Melioaa,
entitled to voto, to wear a ping hat and a long Shanghai eoat; pay
em no licee, and do what I will, for such is the law of the Civil Bights
bill.' "
To Rhmovu Tab, Pitch, Pain*, Resin, <fce.—Pour a little aloohel
on the spot, let it seak for half an hear, then rub it gently, when it
will crumble out.
Indian Puddiws.—Add to one pint of oold milk, one pint of meal,
one tcaspoonfulof salt, two tablespoenfnls flour, one teaspoonful. of the
essence of lemon, one teacupful of sugar .or syrup—-and stir all to a
batter, then add two quarts of boiling milk, stirring until well mixed,
and bake three hours in an oven heated so as to boil. Serve hot with
butter.

Distance of the Fixed Stars.—It has been commonly supposed
that the most brilliant stars, ef the first and second magnitude, were the
nearest stars to us ; hut this is by no means certain. Mr. Kruger of
Boon has been observing two stars of the ninth magnitudo, whose
parallax, if accurately observed, proves them to be nearer to us than
Arcturus, the Pole-star, or even Sirius.
A new Star of about the third magnitude has suddenly appeared
in the constellation of the Northern Crown, being observed in May,
1866, at Hartford, Conn., and at Cambridge, Mass, Prof. Gould says
that the only known instance fairly comparable with this is the new
star of 1670, which appeared suddenly as a star of the third magnitude
disappeared, shone out oneo more, and after two years became invisible,
and has remained so sinco.
A Colorado editor thus welcomes a friend ; "Our respected
townsman, Mr.George Tritch, returned from the East in last
evening's coach. He has on a fine suit of State clothes,
including a plug hat, and is the dog-gondest looking cuss wc
have seen sinoe Jim Ford left. We are glad to see him
back again, however, and hope he will now settle down and
behave himself."

ALMANAC—1867. 33
Cotton,—England is mainly dependent on the United
States for her future supply of this staple. Although it
may be asserted that cotton can be grown in many other
countries of the world, with success, yet this is the only one
which possesses the requisite elements of a good climate, an
inexhaustible soil, and a population sufficiently intelligent
and industrious to supply, the public demand. For some
years to come there will be few parts of our country where
improvements in agricultural implements, new discoveries
and investigations relative to the production of cotton, and
the best methods of utilizing native and foreign labor, will
bettor pay the enterprising people of this country than in
the cotton fields of the South."
Present Condition of our Navy.—The Navy Register
for 1866 gives the following particulars of the reduction of
our naval force : Since the close of the war, 225 vessels
have been disposed of by sale, and 13 have been lost. The
number of vessels retained in the service is 318, of which
f 3 are laid up in ordinary, 63 are building at the different
navy-yards, 15 are fitting out for sea service, 35 are under
repair, and 89 are employed at various naval stations as tugs
and despatch boats, or in the Ordinance Department. This
leaves 94 vessels, of which 90 are attached to our squadrons,
while four are employed as supply steamers. These vessels
are distributed among the different squadrons as follows :

Progress op Emancipation.—The present century has
been signalized by the breaking of the fetters of the slave in
most of the lands where man was held in bondage. In 1807
the slave trade was suppressed by Great Britan, in 1808 by
the United States, and in 1820 by France. In 1818 slavery
was abolished by the Netherlands, in 1834 by Great Britain,
in 1846-47 by Sweden, in 1818 by France and Denmark,
in 1860-61 by Holland. In 1862 serfdom was abolished
by Russia; in 1863 emancipation was proclaimed by Presi¬
dent Lincoln; in 1865 it -was promised by the king of
Portugal. Spain and Brazil, the only remaining countries
in Christendom where slavery is still established, have passed
laws or are discussing measures looking to an early removal
of the institution.
Education to be Useful, must, as far as possible, be
made simple, limited, practicable, acceptable to the learner,
adapted to his character and wants, and brought home to
his particular case by subdivision and selection. The first
step should be for the interested to study, and as far a?
possible to ascertain the peculiar bent and capacity of a boy's
mind. This being done, he should be put upon a course of
intellectual and physical training corresponding," as far as
possible, to that for which nature seems to have designed
him ; but in all cases a preparatory elementary education,
such as is furnished by our common schools, must be made
a prerequisite even to qualify him to inquire ; and the more
thorough this preparatory training is made, the better it is
for the student.

SARSA-PARILLA.
All that is necessary to bo said of it is : It assists the Liver in
secreting and removing the unhealthy bile, produces a regular and free
action of the bowels, and purifies the blood.
The often repeated saying, especially of females of a. bilious tempera¬
ment, that it^ improves the complexion, and that they have felt better
since taking it, but do not know whether it was this Sarsaparilla that
improved their health or not, is the best of evidence that it removes
morbific^agents from the blood, and that it is made of the best of roots,
and is rightly prepared.
If a medicine acts naturally on the liver, keeps the bowels free, and
the bloody healthy, what more can be wanted of medioinel Or, what
can be gained by taking so many different kinds, when this will do all
that a medicine can do in diseases of the liver, or to purify the blood.
The Sarsaparilla that grows in great abundance in the Southern
S tates, is adapted by nature to this very purpose.
DENNIS7 STIMULATINB LINIMENT,
OB, SOUTHERN PAIN KILLER.
FOR GENERAL USE—As an internal remedy, it has been employ¬
ed with great advantage in Cholera, Cramp Colic, Pain in the Stomach
or Bowels, Severe Colds, Congestive Chills, and in other violent attacks
of disease in which a medicine is necessary for immediate use.
It relieves inflammation and equalizes the circulation of the blood
In rheumatic pains, painful swellings, sprains, swelled breasts, pain
in the back or a chilly sensation in the back, sore throat, tooth ache
&o., those who try it, say It is the best remedy that can be used for
the relief of pain.
Directions for giving it to Horses, Mules, &c.
DOSE, KVT&.BLESPOONF uL.
For Colic, give it in half <jp a ,pint of water, warm water the best.
Some give it in whiskey. Repeat the dose as may be found necessary.
For STAGGERS, commonly called Blind Staggers, put some of it also
into the ears, to. relieve the head.
For BOTS or GRUBS, nfil: it with syrup or sweetened water. As
soon &s the horse is relieved, give a purge to carry them off.
For LOCKJAW.—As reported,.b& those who have tried it, they prized
the mouth of the horsp open vapi a stick, and put on the bridle—then
gave a large dose, and repeated it in fifteen minutes. In one case, three
doses cured the horse. In another case, two 'doses were found sufficient
to cure. / ' ,
For SORES, first wash with cold water to cleanse the sore, then bathe
with this Liniment,!© cause the sores to heal, Laudanum should not
be mixed with it, as it has a tendency^) counteract its beneficial effects.
These directions are according to the reports of those who have tried
it in such cases with success, and are published, that those who have
purchased it, and own horses, may derivo as much benefit from it as
[^Prepared bv J. DENNIS, M. D. Augusta, Ga., and New York.
'In New York it is called the REBEL LINIMENT and the best in use.
