In Brief, and to the Point
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late h Aura, ir-
regular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics
But Green's August Flower bus done
4t wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American people
30 healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember: — No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flowers
brings health and happiness to the dye.

News of the most. inhuman murder
comes from Riverside, Ark. A man liv-
ing near that place hada stepson, 5 years
old, whom he greatly disliked. He was
known to treat him most cruelly, beating
him in a terrible manner, once putting
one of the little fellow's eyes out while
whipping him. A few days ago he bent
t e child in n horribly manner; and then
tied him by the wrists to a stake in the
hot sun without food or water till he died.
How long the child was there is not
known, but the cords at the wrist bad cut
into the flesh, and the wounds were filled
with worms, -The fiend, finding his victim
was dead, armed himself and took to t'ao
woods. The child's mother seems indicter:

The frightfully unsanitary condition of
Montreal is shown by a comparison of the
mortality returns of -that city" for' the
month of June last, with those of other
leading cities of Canada. The deaths
from all causes out of a. population of
200,000 were 710, -as compared with 157
for Toronto, with about 120 000 inhabi-
tants, and 143 out of the 75,000 popula-
tion of Quebec, The deaths from diar-
rho'a alone in Montreal were 2.42, as
against 5 in Toronto and 24 in Quebec.
By far the larger proportion of -these
deaths occur amongst young children, and
are caused by filthy surroundings and
generally unsanitary conditions. The in-
fant mortality of Montreal is five bines
as great as that. of.Toronto, Quebec, and
Ottawa together.
A peculiar mishap occurred to Mrs
Wood, of Hamilton, the other night. She
yawned so extensively that her jaw was
dislocated, and her mouth remained olien
• in spite of all efforts to return the jaw to
its natural position. Finally she went to
a doctnr;and with his •assistance succeeded
t in getting her mouth shut.
The Ottawa Chief of Police is authority for
a statement that a wholesale traffic in young
girls is being carried on in that city, girls'ot
10. 11 and 12 years of age being enticed into
offices, chambers ate% stores for immoral pur•
pores. The Chief says ho finds it hard to
suppress the outrageous practices,beeause the
parents of the children victimized prefer to
conceal the matter rather than prosecute.
George Whitfield, a juvenile tough of
Brantford, collects a crowd, takes up a
collection, and then dives from a high
railroad bridge into the river. IID has a
was ot curving his body on striking the
water, and shoots up almost as soon ae he
goes under, thus avoiding the rocks at the
bottom. The police intend to prosecute
the youth, as they think the feat is alto-
gether too dangerous a one to be winked at.
An alarming fetter was received at Spring-
field, I11., from Prof. Forbes, State entomo-
logist, in which lie states that chinch bugs
have obtained a tooth() d in the northern
portion of Illinois to such an extent as to as-
enre an immense number of them next year
unless weather unfavorable to their develop-
ment should intervene. He says that the
danger from this scource threatens to dam-
age the wheat crop of 1888 to an extent in
comparison with which the pleuro-pneumon -
ia and other recent outbreaks of contagious
diseases among domestic animals will be in-
significant.
' W Nile R Scott, of Efarriston, was stand-
ing in his door watching a thunder storm,
a. bright forked flash of lightning came
down apparently at his feet and shot along
the ground into a field adjoining the house,
striking a largo cook of hay,which instant-
ly burst into flames. Mr ficott ran down
with a fork to put the Piro out, but upon
plunging the fork into the pile he sound it
all in ashes, the hay habing been burnt in
an instant. Foittnnately n heavy rain be-
gan to f'nll, otherwise the 0e wou,d un-
doubtedly have been carried to the barn.

An observer down South says an alliga-
tor's throat is an animated sewer. Every-
thing which lodges in his open mouth
goes down. He is a lazy dog,, and instead
of hunting for something to eat, he lets
his victuals hunt for him. That is,he lies
with his great mouth open, apparently
dead like the 'possum. Soon a bug crawls
into it, then a fly, then several gnats, and
a e 4lony of mosquitoes. The alligator
Oe -u'.t close his mouth yet. He is wait•
ta,g for a whole drove of things, llesdoes
his -eating by wholesale. A little later a
lizard will cool himself under the shade
of the upper jaw. Then a few frogs will
hop up to catch the mosquitoes. Then
more mosquitoes and gnats will light on
the frog. Finally a whole village of in-
sects and reptiles settle clown for an
afternoon pin -nit. Then all at once
there is an earthquake. The big jaw falls,
the alligator blinks one eye, gulps down
the entire menagere, and opens his great
front door again for more visitors.
Mrs Haynes, the wife of a farmer living
near Simcoe, met with a terrible fate Fri -
clay morning. Iler house caught fire from
a defective cooking stove, and while she
was attempting to quench the flames her
dress caught fire, and in a moment she
was all in a blaze. Tho screams of the
unfortunate woman attracted the notice
of some teen working near by, but by the
time they arrived the house was so com -
pletely wrapped in flames that it was im-
possible for them to enter, and had to
stand without being able to offer any as-
sistance and see the unfortunate woman
writhe in agony for five minutes or more
bpforo death relieved her of her suffering.
They described the sight as the most hor-
rible they ever witnessed, and sate that
the dying 'scream§ of Mrs Haynes were
most heartrending. They can assign no
reason for her not attempting to escape,
as she was standing but a few feet from
the kitchen door, which was open. After
the house bad been burnt to the ground
the charred remains of the woman were
found, not a' piece of flesh being left on
the hones. The deceased was forty-six
years of age, (10t1 lcnvcs one child about
seven years 01(1 in the world. The child.
