A Living Furnace.

The living body is a regulated furnace. The
human organism is all more or less combuslibie
but not equally so. The blood, that is to say
the food in its transformed state, may be com.
pared 10 the fuel. aud the more stable tissues
formed from the blood, to the iron stove which
contains the fuel. Just in proportion to the en-.
ergy and celebrity with which litei carried on,
does this combustion proceed; and just in pro-
portion as the combustion proceeds, is fresh fuel
that is TO say fresh blood, required. But in or
der to obtain supply OF fresh blood, food must
be present, and not only food, but the power Of
converting the food into blood, that is digestive
energy. or in the appetite which accompanies
it, stimulants of various descriptions are fire.
quently had recourse to but their effect is
transient, and if leaned upon too long and too
exclusively, they tend to derange the digestive
functions, and to take away the natural desire
for food, which is the only true life-supporter.
But let DIR. Fisch's Bitters be used persever-
ingly and in the prescribed quantities, in con-
junction with the daily meals, and their tonic
qualities will rapidly strengthen the digestive or
gans, and create at the same time a sufficient
and healthy appetite. And when an abundance
Of wholesome food, (Which are thus enabled 10
take, is duly digested and sssimilated, it will
give fullness of vitality which will take
away any desire for the improper use OF alco-
holic stimulants.

WHAT ADVERTISING Didn't
laud, the banker and newspaper
speclulator, who died recently in
Paris, and who founded the Petite
Journal. which at one time had a
daily circulation of nearly half mil
lion copies, was an enthusiastic be-
lever in the advantages Of liberal
advertising. One day he had at his
table nearly all the proprietors of
the leading Paris dailies. They
conversed about advertising. Mi
laud asserted that the most worth
less articles could be sold in vast
quantities if literally advertised
Emile de Girardin, of La Presse,
who was present, took issue with
him on the subject. "What will
you bet" exclaimed Milaud, that |
can not sell in one week one hum
dred thousand francs worth of the
most common cabbage seed, under
the pretext that it will produce
mammoth cabbage heads All l
have to do is to advertise it once in
whole page insertion in the daily
papers of the city" Girardin re-
piled that he would give him page
in his paper for nothing if he should
win the wager. The other newspa-
per publishers agreed to do the same
thing. At the expiration of the
week they inquired of Milaud how
the cabbage seed had flourished.-
He showed them that he had sold
nearly twice as much as he had
promised, while orders we're still
pouring in; but he said the joke
must stop there, and no further or
ders would be filled.
