THE STOCK CONFERENCE.

The Stock Conferenc-', which has closed Its session, at Sydney t ansacted a great deal of important business. The object of the Conference was to dncnss the diseases of stock, the rabbit pest, noxious plan's the aesimth t'-on of the stock re gulations of the feveral colonies, and a variety of ether subjects relating to pastoral pursuits. 2 very member of the Conference came fuily prepared for Ins work, anothe result was a eerie of dis cussions which for fulness of information and intellectual grasp have seldom been surpassed. In regard to diseases of stock a great deal cf informati >n was given. The two principal diseases that the stcck in these colonies are subject to are anthrax fever and pleuro-pneumonia. Both are destructive ; but the former is far more to than the latter. Statistics were given showing that the number of sheep carried off every year by this disease is about 100,0C0. Uutil recently there war universal ignorance ooncenog the nature of these diseases and the agencies by which they sre propagated. But through the labors of M. Pasteur, the eminent French scientist, that ignor ance haa been removed. Pjeteur dia covered that all diseases that attack men and animals tra produced by microbes, and lli-j-t each disease is caused by a distlmt microbe. The dicovery is one of great importance. M. Pasteur has do voted a great deal of auention to tfce subject cf anthrax fever, and he has ex plained the whole mystery In connection therewith. By means of a number of experiments, which occupied him several we ka. ho a,o V ained the nan t i I’wbirh the contagion is spread ; and h? has proved to his own satisfaction that in oculation is the best, and, in fact the only preventive o? the directe. On f he question of inoculatii n, the Chief Inspec tor of Stock in this Colony obtained in formation from EnJand and several other European countries, which ho com irunlcated to the Conference in an inalt ac tive paper. It was ah'wn therein that the system is successful in some places, b t un successful in others. A s milar remark might be made in regard to vaccination for smallpox, but that, would not prove anything against vaccmatlon. It stands to reason that, if the germ theory of disease is true, the method that will pre vent one kind of fever will prevent other kinds. In the way which vaccination is a preservative against smallpox, inocu lation should be a preservative against Cumberland disease. Inoculation in fact, the sheet anchor of the paatoraliets, and there can hardly be a doubt that in a few years it will be resorted to through out Australia. The Conference took no definite action with regard to inoculation, but it passed resolutions recommending that it should be made compulsory on stockholders to destroy all beasts suffer ing from pleuro, and to burn the carcasses of animals th*t may die cf Bnthrsx fever. The coarse advised in the resolu tions la necessary for preventing the spread of those diseases, and it should be adopted without hesi'ati n l>v the Government Sydney Mornmg Herald.

* * * ■Rochester, June 1, 1882 “ Ten years sgo I was attacked with the most Intense and deathly pains In my back and Kidneys. “ Extending to the end of my t es and to my brain ! “ Which made me delirious ! “ From agony ! ! ! ! “ It took three men to bold me on my bed at times 1 “ The Doctors tried in vain to relieve me, but to no purpose. Morphine and other opiates! “ Had no effect ! “ After two months I was given up to die! ! 1 ! “ When my wife beard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters bad done for her, she at ones got and gave me some. The first dose eased my brain and seemed to go bunting through my system for the pain. The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hoars, something I bad not done for two months. Before I had used five bottles, I was well aad*at work as hard as any man could, for over three weeks ; but I worked too hard for my strength, and taking a bard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that was ever known. “ I called the doctors again, and after several they reft him a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and he said Hop Bitters bad cured him and would cure me. I poohed at him, but be was so earnest I was induced to use them again. la less than four weeks, I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any man living, and have been so for six years since. It has also cuted my wife, who had been sick for years ; and has kept her and my children well and healthy with from two to three bottles a year. There is no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used. J. J. Berk, Ex-Supervisor. “That poor invalid wife, Sister, Mother, “ Or daughter ! I ! ! “ Can be made the picture of health “ with a few bottles of Hop Bitteia ! “ Will you let them suffer ! ! / ! ' Prosecute tUe Swindlers ! If when you call for American Hop Bitters {see green twig of Hops on the white label and Dr Soule's name blown in the boWe ), the vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters refuse it and shun the vendor as yen would a viper; and if be has taken your money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the convio ion.
