No pill in the world ever had any
thing like the circulation Of AVER ;
PILLS. Throughout these States, MeXi-
co, and the Central American Republics,
down the slopes of the Andes, and
across the pampas Of South America, in
negro villages, amid the feryid wiids Of
Africa, throughout the jungles of India,
and the steppcs Of interior Asia, over
the continent Of Australia, and the
islands of the Pacific, these PILLS are
known and everywhere used as family
remedies for diseases. With distant ma
,ions. their wonderful cures attract more
attention than they do at home for the
sentiment of wonder takes far deeper
hold on their minds than the results Of
a high scientific skill with us. The
amount consumed requires seventy-hye
thousand doses a day to supply it. An
inspection of the mandatory showed
us how this enormous demand is made
and sustained. Added to the consum-
mate skill of their composition, is an ex-
treme care in their manufacture, which
at once secures the most perfect mate
rial and their most accurate combina-
ton. The consequence is power a1d
certainty in controlling disease which
other remedies never ed.-Balt.

"BILIOUS."

If YOU feel dull, drowsy, de0ilitated,
despondent, have frequent headahe,
mouth tastes badly in morning, iTegu-
lar appetite and tongue coated, you are
suffering from Torpid LiUer or "Bih
iou;ness." In many cases of Liver
Complaint" only a part of these symp-
toms are experienced. As remedy for
all such cases, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has no equal, as it effects
perfect cures, leaving the liver strength
ened and healthy. Sold by allfrst-class
druggists.
HOW UNNECESSARY THE AN
GUISH many persons undergo from
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, toothache
and earache. We say unnecessary be
cause the application Of MEXICAN Mus
TANG LlNIMENT to the affected part, or a
few drops of it in the ears or tooth, al
fords instantaneous, and what is better,
permanent relief. For cuts. wounds,
bruisbs, swellinga, and all injuries or
diseases which require treatment exter-
nally, this liniment is everywhere re-
garded as the most potent and reliable
healing agent in existence. For all ex-
ternal injuries or ailments of horses and
cattle, it is infalliblc.

CARS TO RrN THRoUGH AN IEoN
TUBE UNDER WATER-The railroad
bridge which has been planned to ex-
tend across San Francisco Bay, from
the mainland to Goat Island, respecting
which so much opposition is manifested
by the citizens OF San Francisco, on the
ground that it will materially injure the
hmborage Of the port, is Of subteTa-
mean character. 1t is an immense iron
tube intended to be sunk from twenty
eight to thirty feet below the surface,
and held in its place by its own buoyan-
cy and by cables andmushroom anchors.
The tube is to be twenty feet in diane
ter, and made OF boiler iron, strengthen
ed by an internal framework Of iron
beams. The invention is based upon
the idea that the buoyancy Of the tube
will be equal to the weight of a train
of cars. Anchors arc to hold the tube
in place.

\ WoNpEETUL SURGICAL OPERATION.
One Of the most remarkable cures On
record has been nearly affected upon
the person of Miss Hattie Thomas, of
Waterbury, Conn, who was scalpcd In
the button mauutactory over aycar ago,
from the nape Of her neck to her eye
balls, so that the skull was laid bare
Death was expected, and almost hoped
for, as the only relief which could come
to her, but the doctor noticing that she
rallied from the first prostrating effects
OF the accident. determined TO expert
mcnt with the French process Of skin
grating" and after the head had been
brought into healthy state of suppura-
ton, he made the first attempt, taking
the seed skin from the patients arm.
The result was admirable, but exhausta-
tation was induced by the new wounds,
and supply of skin had to be taken
from ether sources. The nurse of Miss
Thomas kindly volunteered; the doctor,
delighted with his snccess, applied the
knife to his own arms, and many young
lady friends came forward and sacri-
feed portions Of their own bodies for
the salvation of their suffering sister
Over 100 separate pieces made up the
new scalp, and Miss Thomas has souUs-
Mrs of her friends much better than bed
quilt blocks, or even locks of hair.

Be HAPPY Now.-How old are Sou
Twenty-Five Thirty Are you hap
py today! Were you happy yesterday
Are you generally happy Ifso, you
have reason to Judge that you will be
happy by and by. Are you SO busy
that YOU have no time to be happy 4?
And are on going to be happy when
you are old, and you have not much to
do : No; you will not. You have a
specimen Of what you will be when you
are old Look in the face Of to-day.
That is about the average That will
tell you what you are goingto be. What
you are carrying along with You is
what you will have by and by. If you
are so conducting yourself that you have
peace with God, and with your fellow
men and with your faculties; if every
day you insist that duty shall make you
happy, and you take as much time as
is ncedful for the culture Of your social
faculties, you will not be exhausting
life, and it will be continually replen-
ished. But if you are saving every
thing up till you get to be an old man,
habit will stand like atyrant, and say,
"You would not enjoy yourself before,
and you shall not now. How many
many men there are who have ground
and ground to make money, that they
might be happy by and by, but who,
when they have got to be fifty or sixty
years old, have used up all enjoyable
nerve that was in them. During their
early life they carried toll and economy
and frugality to the excess Of Stinginess,
and when the time came that they ex-
pected JOY, there was no JOY for them.
