TEA ,COFFEE, COCOA, AND ALCOHOL 
Dyspepsia Remedy.—I desire to thank 
Mr. F. W. R., Lowell, O., for his cure for 
dyspepsia, published in Rural, New- 
Yobkkr, July 20, 1872. It cured mo in six 
weeks.—.T. J. 15., Cleveland, 0. 
We extract from the British Medical 
Journal the conclusions of a French phy¬ 
sician, Dr Angiel Marvaud, who bas been 
experimenting on the physiological and 
thcrupeutioal effects of coffee, tea, cocoa, 
mate or guarana (Paraguay tea), and alcohol, 
which he classes together as aliments of 
eoonomy or anti-wasto foods. He consid¬ 
ers their influence on nutrition from two 
points of view: as stimulants to the ner¬ 
vous system, as anti-waste foods oranti-as- 
similators. Alcohol acts directly on the 
sensory apparatus of the spinal cord, and 
indirectly on the motor apparatus. Cocoa 
acts directly on the motor apparatus, 
which it excites in the same manner as 
strychnine. Coffee, tea, and mate act prin¬ 
cipally on the brain. Alcohol and cocoa 
excite the exercise of tho muscles; cuffed; 
tea, and mate, tho exercise of thought. 
Further, by lessening the waste of tho tis¬ 
sues, counteracting organic oxidation, and 
diminishing loss by means of the secretions, 
they all act as aliments of economy. In 
this way is explained their action in stimu¬ 
lating to work in the evening, in partly 
supplying the want of solid food, and in 
moderating vital combustion. Hence arises 
their increasing consumption, and their 
more general use as articles of daily regimen, 
hence, too, their utility in alimentation, 
and their important place in hygiene. 
The abuse of these aliments has, it is true, 
two principal Inconveniences. In tho first 
place, tho exoitement of the nervous sys¬ 
tem which they cause is liable to be fol¬ 
lowed by fatigue, weakness, and oven in¬ 
ertia. In the second plaoe, by their inter¬ 
ference with and reduotiou of the processes 
—indispensably necessary to life—of com¬ 
bination, transmutation, and decomposi¬ 
tion, they may cause arrest, suspension, or 
even complete suppression of Lbo nutritive 
changes in tho cellular elements, and may 
produco as results, torpor, atony, fatty 
degeneration, and necrobiosis of the tissues. 
Thus are explained alcoholism, coffeeism, 
theinism, and cocoaism.

FARMERS’ PURCHASING AGENTS 
I notice a paragraph in the Rural 
New-Yorker of Nov. 9th, headed “ Farm¬ 
ers’ l'nrchasing Agents," which gives, as I 
think, a one-sided view of the case; and 
while it may bo commended for the pur¬ 
chase of tho larger farming implements, 
which articles are more generally used by 
the well-to-do class, I would not differ with 
you; but when you include groceries, dry 
goods, etc., you concern many who are left 
out of the ring. I would like to ask wheth¬ 
er these close-buying farmers are going to 
share tbe good bargains with their poorer 
neighbors who have not, tho ready cash to 
buy at wholesale? or whether they are to 
be referred to the extortionist or retail 
merchant? If your system wore generally 
praoticed, what encouragement would an 
honorable man have to set up a business as 
a retailer? Tho support which ought to be 
given him by tho wealthy farmers is with¬ 
held, leaving tho poorer classes for tho 
merchant to depend on for a buainoss. The 
latter may bo just as honorable as the 
former; but many work for the farmer 
and take a good share of their wages in 
rent,firewood and produce; ami the mer¬ 
chant often has to give them long credit 
on their dry goods and groceries, and many 
times they are unable to pay at all, which 
makes it up-hill work for tho merchant. 
Some of the farmers go on the plan that 
they are perfeotly good; and of course the 
merchant is glad to sell to safe men; at the 
same time, their long-deferred payments 
tax him seriously, and through fear of giv¬ 
ing offense and losing their patronage, sub¬ 
mits to the loss. 
Now, 1 ask, is not this mode of doing 
business a direct incentive to dishonesty! 
Is not the merchant tempted to add to tbe 
account of such customers an extra quar¬ 
ter of tea or seven pounds of sugar to make 
up loss of interest.? He starts in business 
meaning to be honorable, but he finds him¬ 
self beaten by shrewdness, which ho feels 
compelled to match or shut up shop. 1 
hardly think extortion would find place in

Cliroulc Diarrhea. -In looking ovor 
the Rural New-Yorker of Oct. 19, 1 find 
a note from E. Fit/. Simons, asking for a 
recipe that will cure chronic diarrhea. If 
lie has not contracted the bad habit of using 
tobacco habitually, 1 think the following 
will cure himImmediately after having 
taken a meal, take a pipe and tobacco and 
smoko until he feels the effect in his hqad; 
then lio down for a season of rest, until f he 
effect passes off'. Ild may then go about his 
daily avocation until the next meal, when 
the same course is to be followed, and also 
on retiriug at night. This treatment cured 
me after having suffered with said oom- 
plaint for more than nine months, and be¬ 
ing treated by different physicians in Aus¬ 
tralia, England, United States and Canada. 
—W. G. N., J It, Vernon, Ont. 
I sympathize with, and gladly respond 
to the request of one of jour subscribers 
for a recipe for chronic diarrhea, which has 
proved infallible with us for years past. I 
only wish all who may be benefited by it 
will acknowledge it in your paper:—One 
ounce of tincture of opium; one oz. tinc¬ 
ture of camphor; one oz. tincture of rhu¬ 
barb—all put in one bot tle by a reliable 
druggist, Do3e 20 to 80 drops, given every 
half hour or hour, as the case may require; 
taken in a tablespoonful of weak brandy, 
and a swallow of weak brandy and water 
taken after; as the patient grows better 
lengthen the time between the doses. In 
severe oases it may be taken in half tea¬ 
spoonful doses.— Mrs. F. Crawford.

HORSES AND CATTLE 
To Remove the Odor of Perspiration. 
—The unpleasant odor produced by perspi¬ 
ration is frequently the source of vexation 
to persons who are subject to it. Nothing 
is simpler than to remove this odor much 
more effectually than by the application of 
such costly onguenta and perfumes as are in 
use. It is only necessary to procure some 
compound spirits of ammonia and plaoe 
about two tablespoonfuls iu a basin of wa¬ 
ter. Washing the face, hands, and arms 
with this leaves the skin as clean and sweet 
as one could wish. The wash is perfectly 
harmless, and very cheap. It is recommend¬ 
ed on the authority of an experienced phy¬ 
sician. _

works by tho month or the year, can afford 
to have. And if we wore a merchant, no 
farmer, no matter bow wealthy, nor any 
other person, should have even a day’s 
credit. We would establish the cash sys¬ 
tem by selling so much lower for cash that 
we would get custom even though we might 
offend some snobbish people who think a 
great deal more of getting goods than of 
paying for them, and who often live off a

the merchant has no bad debts, he can 
afford to soil cheaper; and he can have 
none if he trusts none. One advantage to 
tho farmer that will result from purchasing 
through agents, is that ho must pay cash,
