It
is a remarkable fact
that while
farmers are encouraged in all sorts of
extravagances by agricultural journals
and societies in stocking their farms
with thoroughbred cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry. th?y are warned aga nst
thoroughbred horses, notably fast trotters, with the same earnestness as
against any moral pest lence. A horse
that cm trot a mile under a 2:40 gait is
considered the rightful property oti professional gamblers and an adjunct to
all sorts of wickedness.
Ihe arguments against fast trotters
are many, but the one most often urged
is to the efiect that a fast horse makes

aga nst liuo roa.lsters on the farm is
that there s mure risk and less money
to the tarmer in the rearing and training of trotters than n the production
of general purpose and draft horses remarkable for size and' strength.

"I was very
to one or our correspondents who visited him
at his cozy cottage at Stafford Springs. " My
wife was greatly concerned about me. I had
taken advice and medicine from the regular
jjiijBiuioiin, uui wiiu very lime advantage.
Some friends of my wife had taken Compound
Oxygen, and had sent her circulars and pamphlets about it. She was much interested in
what she read or it, and said she thought this
was what 1 needed. While she was away
from home for two or three weeks I sent for a
'Treatment.' You may judge of the effect of
the Oxygen on me when I tell you that, although 1 had not told my wife I had got it, she
noticed from the character of the letters I
wrote her that I was in better spirits, and consequently in improved health."
!Had the Compound Oxygen then so soon
begun its good work on you i
"Yes; it did its work much more quickly
than I had any reason to expect. I was sur- although I anticipated good results,

not supposed they would be felt so
quickly. Within a week I was so much better
thut I was going to put the Oxygen away and
take no more of it. But I concluded that it
would be better to keep on with it for a while.
I did for few weeks and was so completely
restored to health that I had no further need
for any remedy. That was three years ago.
Since that I have never been without Compound Oxygen in the house, aud I do not intend
to be without it at any time."
"Then you have had to resort to it pretty
much all the time?"
"By no means ; only occasionally, when I
have had a cold or something of that kind.
But my wife has used it and derived great
benefit trom it. and so have the children.
"I believe my wife would have been dead hut
for Compound Oxygen. Her lungs troubled her.
The pain wus very severe, particularly in the
left lung. The syptoms were those of incipient
consumption. Both last winter and winter before she took Compound Oxygen through
nearly all the cold weather and with the most
remarkable effect. It strengthened her, removed the lung-paiand generally and particularly built up her health.
"As for the children : my boy is eight years
old. He has grown up quickly and is half a
head taller than most other boys of his age.
He has taken Compound Oxygen for colds and
as a tonic and strengthener. Nothing has ever
served hint better. We have the utmost confidence in it for him. Baby is six months old,
and has learned to inhale like a grown person.
She had a cold with catarrhal syptoms, and
was entirely relivved and cured with Compound Oxygen. I may add that I myself am
naturally disposed to catarrh. Since I have
used this Oxygen, which is now about three
years, the catarrhal troubles have not annoyed

A VALUABLE MEDICAL TREATISE.
The edition for 1886 of the sterling Medical
Annual, known as Hostetter's Almanac, is now
ready, and may be obtained, free of cost, of
rugglsts and general country dealers in all
parts of the United States,
Mexico, and indeed
in every civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere This Almanac has been issued regularly at the commencement of every year for
over
of a century. It combines, with
the soundest practical advice for the preservation and restoration of health, a large amount
of interesting and amusing light reading, and
the calendar, astronomical calculations, chronological items, &c, are prepared with great
care, and will be found entirely accurate. The
issue of Hostetter's Almanac for 1886 will probably be the largest edition of a medical work
ever published in any country. The proprietors, Messrs. Hoselter & Co., Pittsburgh, I'a.,
