APTITUDE IN BUSINESS Thousands en-
gage in the strife of business, but really how
few possess an aptitude for it An old mer-
chant stated at apublic dinner that eighty
out of every hundred of those who had en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits had failed, al
though their opportunities were quite as ia
vorable as were those of the few who had
succeeded. 1t was not lack of industry but
of aptitude that had caused them to fail
Very few men possess this quality, which, for
want of better name, has been called luck,
andwithout.which no man however astute and
prudent he may be in other matters, can
hope to succeed in the mutations which in
varibly accompany the adventurous career
of the merchant. Aptitude is everything
A man may have and excellent idea of music,
but no amount of study will make him mu-
sician; SO he who engages in business, how
ever clear his opinions may be on the con-
duct OF others, may never himself succeed
an that which he is competent to criticise

DIABETES

Is disease Of the stomach and liver acting through
the kidneys, and is without doubt, the most obst-
pate disease, except Consumption, that affects the
human constitution. We have no space for discus
slug causes but will state that the effect of the dis
ease is the conversion Of the starchy principle Tor
vegetable portion Of the food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to an excessive secretion Of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
are Ignorant of it, that is they pass large quantities
during tho day, and are obliged TO get up from to
fifteen or twenty times during the night. No notice
is taken Of it until their attention is called to tho
large discharge Of water and often when it is so far
advanced as to be beyond the control Of ordinary
remedies. Another symptom is the great thirst,
which, when the disease is fully established is in
tolerablethe patient drinks constantly acithout be-
fng sati1fed also dryness of the mouth cracking of
the lips sweet breath, in the more advances cases,
and hnay loss OF appetite, emaciation, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION w ATER is, without doubt the only
known remedy for diabetes, and we have as much
confidence that it is specific as we have that opium
will produce sleep, and truthfuly say that it has
cured every case in which it has been used.

contamination is variously caused by mcrcuriai
diseuse, low living. disordcrcd digestion from
unhealthy food impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the ycnoreal infection. Whatever be its origin
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
from parents to children unto ths Third and

diseases which it originates take various names,

is compounded from the most ehcctual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered fol
this affecting distcmper, and for the cure of .he
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised. is known by oil
who have given it trial. That it does com.
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indisputably
proven by tho great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has mado Of
the following diseases; Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-

Of tho blood. Minute reports Of individual
cases may bo found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitons distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when

Those cases aro purposely taken from all sec.

Scrofula dopresses the vital energies. and thus
leaves its victims far more subject TO disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. Tie vast importance Of these consdera-
lions has led us to spend years in pcrIecling
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
sc now offer to the public under the name Of

rs MD YOU may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions thnt rot and foster in the

We know tho public have been deceived by

remains no question Of its surprising excellence
