itor says:
ga very brief experience has shown them
that Italy is a better country for that line
of business than Ametica, and they were
sorry they came. If general sources of in
formation are to be credited, the common
pay for laborers in Italy is from twenty-five
cents to fifty cents day. A laborer must
be very lazy who cannot earn dollar and q
half in New York, or fifteen dollarsa month
and board in the country. The Italians, as
well as other emigrants, will have TO learn
that strangers cannot be supported here in
luxurious laziness, and that every man is
expected to hoe his own row"

from pure joy.

Success Based unsn Merit.

1t Is a subject OF general remark,
among both Wholesale and retail drug
gists that no medicine introduced to
the American Public has ever gained
such popularity and met with SO large
a sale N all parts Of the land, In the
same length Of time, as has DR.. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery. This can
not depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medi
cine AS such is not the case. The COR
rect explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the
themost wonderful and perfect cures of
very bad cases of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most
perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds
of Coughs that has ever been introduced
to the public. and at the same time
possesses the greatest of blood purify
ing and Strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to pro-
duce, thus rendering it sovereign
remedy not only in the cure of Con
sumption, bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the
liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases,
skin diseases, blotches, rough skin,
pimples, black specks and discolora-
tons. 1t has therefore wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not
only gives the most perfect satisfaction
to all who use it, but far exceeds the
expectations of the most sanguine,
thus elicting the loudest praise and it
making permanent GUing advert sing
mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps
druggist in all the vast domain of this
continent, who tries to please his custo-
mers and supply their wants, that does
not keep and sell large quantities of
this most valuable medicine. sos
