Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public has
ever gained such popularity and met with so
large sale in all parts of the land, in the
same length OF time, Dr. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case
The correct explanation, We think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases
Of bronchial throat and lung diseases, is un-
doubleday the most perfect and efficient rem
edy for all kinds Of coughs that has ever been
introduced to the public, and at the same time
possesses the greatest Of blood-purifying and
strengthening properties that medical science
has been able to produce, 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, blotches, rough skin.
pimples, black specks and discoloratons. 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 sangune.
thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making
permanent HUing advertising 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 custom
ers and supply their wants, that does not keep
and sell large quantities Of this most valuable
medicine.
JEsUP, Iowa, May 9Th, 1878.

Dear Sir-We take pleasure in saying that
your Medicines have sold entirely beyond our
expectations We regard them as the best
medicines extant, and hear them spoken of in

legs, they gave me thump that denied
the top Of my head till it would hold
coffee like saucer and to crown their
disgraceful proceedings and add insult
to injury, they threw me over the Horse
shoe Fall, and got wet.
About ninety-nine or hundred feet
from the top, the remains OF my vest
caught on projecting rock, and l was
almost drowned before l could get
loose. i finally fell, and brought up in
a world of white foam at the foot OF the
fall, whose celled and bubbly masses

Il man walked down and sat down close
to that bush, and put pipe IN his
mouth, and lit match, and followed
me with one eye and kept the other on
the match while he sheltered it in his
hands from the wind. Presently puff
of wind blew it out. The next time L
swept round him he said:
"Got match 2"

He declined. This lack of confidence
on bis part created GOODNESS between

him. 1t was my idea, in case any
thing happened to me, to so time the
occurrence as to throw my custom into
the hands of the opposition Coroner
over on the American side. AT last a
policeman came along and arrested me
for disturbing the peace by yelling at
people on shore for help. The Judge

When was a boy, in an old churchyao
terrible ghost appeard,
And oft looked over the churchyaru saoeI
With grizzly, grizzly hesru'
He had eyes as bright aud as round as suns,
Aud a pale and haggard cheek,
And YOU saw he was thinking thinking much,
But never word did he SPEAK
Save once when drunken old man declared
The ghost his thin arm did stretch,
And smote him hard, and the old man heard
The ghost call out, g You wretch! J.
And he staggered away, and from that same day
Did the drunken man repent;
But never again down Southernhay Lane
The frightened sinner went.
The ghost had his home behind an old tomb
Meath netiles and brambles hid,
And there was told that he slept in the mold,
And his cover was CONN lid,
A hospital close by the churchyard stood
Aud the nurses were known To declare
That whenever the dying in fortunes crying,
lie put ont hs ear 10 hear;
And once remember, in dreary December,
At night, as a truant passd by,
He saw the old ghost, looking white as post,
And flashing out frowns from his eye.
Such at last was the fright that at evening and
night
Not a soul pass d through Southernhay Lane;
For no one could doubt that the ghost about
Denial was almost profane.
when was was boy, twas my tremulous JOY
At noon through the churchyard TO pass,
And there saw naught but "A hairy old goat
That quietly browsed on the grass.
A stranger at last walEd through Southernhay
Lane,
And the ghost as accustomed appeard;
So he stared the old grizzly one fun in the face,
And vallanty grappled his beard.
And - What makes you here, my old fellow" he
said,
- With beard that's haggard and gray?"
And the ghost with solemnty shook his grave
head,
And opened his lips and cried" Bal"
Since then all my fears and my fancies grew cool,
And learnt from the story quote,
Had the old man been sober-the young boy al
school
They had seen-not ghost--but goat.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which infiame the brain are, in any
sense of the word, remedies, has been
OUerfhroiCn, and can neUer be re-estab-
Hshed. The wonderful effects which
have attended the use of Dr. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs as an antidote to the
causes of disease and cure for every
comfortable ailment, have demonstrated
the utter fallacy of the doctrine that
alcohol is tonic as well as stinuiant.
The New and incompatible Vegetable
Remedy which has superseded the
death-draught of rum bitters, is as free
from every Intoxicating element as the
dew OF Heaven, yet see how it is invig-
Grating the nervous, relieving the bill
ious, curing the dyspeptic, purifying
the blood of the scrofulous, strengthen
ing the debilitated, arresting premature
decay, and replacing dependency and
weakness with cheerfulness and activity.
Truly grand Medical Revolution is in
progress. 40

WASP vs.. SPIDER.-In last months
Science Gossip an interesting story is
told of fatal combat between a wasp
and spider. The writer says: THAT
spiders are most afraid of wasps, l infer
from circumstance ! witnessed many
years ago. A wasp became entangled
in the web of a spider, located in the
upper corner of a window, when the
spider rushed out to secure his prey,
and battle of some minutes duration
occurred, ending in a dear-bought vic
tory for the spider, the wasp falling
dead on the floor, and the spider dying
q few minutes afterward."
