EEIf any of our readers are troubled
with warts and want to know how to re-
move them, we admit that we don't
know. But if they only want to know
how they are formed, this, from prom.
inent medical journal, ought to satisfy
them:
The papillomata (warts, condylomata,
epithelioma) originate essentially in an
active neoplastic process taking place in
the rete, which penetrates to a greater or
less extent into the likewise hyperro-
phied connective-tissue matrix of the
coriun. The papila Of the cults here,
too, perform only passive role, their
elongation and dentritic form being oc-
casioned by the hypertrophy Of the cpl
dermis; while the elevation of the sur
face of the skin is due to the hypertro-
ply of both

The TOUCH is plant and sI sstic, and is
entirely free from the stiffness found in so
many pianos, which causes tho performer to

In WORKMANSHIP they cannot be ex.

care and attention to every part therein that
characterizes the finest mechanism. None
but the best seasoned material is used in
their manufacture, and they will accept the
hard usage of the concert room with tha.

Too Much for Him.

The Elizabeth On. j. } Monitor tells the
following funny story: Two young men
from the country called at down town
foundry few days ago 10 get piece Of
casting for some farm machinery. The
employees were absent at their dinners,
with the exception Of the engineer, who
was oiling up for the afternoon work
The engine was running at low speed,
and pumping water into the boiler The
country cousins looked with interest at
its motions and the slew revolution Of
the large Ay-wheel; and fell into a dis
cussion as to the relative power Of steam
and human muscle. One Of them finally
offered TO bet a dollar that he could
graf" the huge wheel and holdit.
He stepped 70 the engineer and asked
permission TO try il, which was readily
granted, and taking Of his coat and
rolling up his sleeves, braced himself
and clutehed it, He didn't exactly stop
the wheel-in fact, he went over il, with
out stopping, and was discharged in a
parabolic orbit through space, coming
down in a sandheap in the further part
Of the foundry He was picked up a
thoroughly disguised man, and so lame
that be was obliged TO climb into his
wagon at the back end, quite satisfied.
however, that steam was too much for
him.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

False Pretenoes. The vast and continually
increasing sales Of Hostcttcr's Stomach Bitters
have provoked the envy Of certain class Of
dealers in various parts Of the country, who
are trying to substitute their utterly worthless
local nostrums for the most popular preprie-
tary medicine In the world. These imposters
hope by their false statements to obtain from
the millions who patronire the great American
Tonic sufficient number Of customers to
make their specuIations upon the health OF
their neighbors profitable. As the demand
for Hostetters Bitters is now so large and ur-
gent as to tax to their fullest extent the facili
ties for its manufacture. these petty attempts
TO ring in the merest trash by false representa-
tons are of little consequence to its proprie-
tors. They are. however, serious evil to the
victimized. II, for example, at this warm
season, when a real invigorant is greatly
needed, the sufferer from general debility. In
digestion, biliousness or nervous weakness. is
coaxed into using wishy-washy compound
without any medicinal virtue. instead of the
sovereign specific in which the raresttonic and
Alternative vegetable elements are scientific
cally combined, it is obvious that he will rue
the day when he allowed himself to be thus
deluded. 1t is in the interest of parties who
have been or may be influenced by the per-
suasion of plausible charlatans. that this ar
ticle is published. With the light of twenty
years experience to guide him, why should
the invalid take leap in the dark?
