_Milwaukee Daily Bread._ * * * * * Over Ninety Thousand of Josh Billings' "_Farmer's Allminax_" are sold each year. How long iz this to continue? Will not the publick arise in their insulted dignity, and drive this pest from the world? _Boston Pilgrim._ * * * * * Shoot him! shoot the "_Allminax_" maker. _Arkansas Bowie Knife._ * * * * * Alass! alass! is there no eskape, is thare no place in the wide world that we can fly to, and be free from this sickening visit--this yearly avalanche? A curse on "Josh Billings' Farmer's Allminax." _Chicago Budget._ 31 Days. JANUARY. 1878.
