AMONG the various rumors which have
been briskly circulating of late, is the absurd
one that the custom house officials were OPP
posing Mr.. Dow's election, with the knowl-
edge and approval of Mr.. Washburn. We
are authorized to say that there is no founda-
ton for such suggestion except that possibly
one or two inferior officers without brains or
discretion have been making some foolish
talk, which means nothing and is discount
tenanced by all the other custom house men.

How Ladies Dress at Saratoga.

Asa woman dressed in the height, not
only of fashion, but costly fashion, prom
enades ballroom, suppose we estimate
what in round numbers she represents
in cash-that is. the actual cost, as nearly
as it can be ascertained, of what she..wears.
Her dress, independent of lace, will
scarcely cost less than $500. Worth's
cheapest are 500 in gold. y set of the
handsomest point lace flounces may us
ualiy be valued at about $1,000, though
very handsome ones may be purchased for
less. 4 fine point lace Oyerdress or shawl
costs at least Sl.500. A fan suitable for
such dress is worth $50 at least, and q
handkerchief about the same; and the
diamonds seen with this toilet frequently
represent $4,000, consisting of necklace,
ear-drops, aigrette, a bouquet de corSage,
and bracelets; besides these are rings
rarely purchased for less than $1,000,
when there are but three or four of them.
So we have our fashionable woman repre-
senting So, 900, or even 100000, for there
are MANY minor but costly accessories for
the toilet, and even Valuing her toilet al
$4,000 is a low estimate.
But this is the ball dress alone, and only
one ball-dress; and who would expect a
qranGe dame to 20 through Saratoga
season with but one? She has another
silk, covered with embroidery, and Nalen-
ciennes lace edges It's ruf1eS; this will
scarcely cost less than $500; and then she
has a velvet at $500 or $1,000 and three or
four light silk robes or light shades, trim
med with silk of the same or darker tints,
for not one of which she paid less than $500
to $500, and she has other jewelry besides
diamonds, coIals. earrings, necklace,
bracelet, and brooch al $500; and she has
ONYX and diamond ear-drops and pendant,
and various other styles of ornaments,

Liver Complaint.

DISPENSARY Buffalo, n. Y.

By r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D.. of the WORLDS
DIsPENsARY, Buffalo, n. Y.
A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains
vast amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of uoXious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood, and be con-
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when 1t is
receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison! Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc, but
these organs become overtaXed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
lions, and cannot long withstand the pressure
but become variouly diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical cen
ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood, which passes to 1t from the
heart and it fails to perform its office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poison

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If a railroad director were dashed to every
locomotive, there would be fewer railroad
accidents, and if doctors had to take their
own physic before administering it TO their
patients, fewer people would be poisoned.
DIR. Joseph Walker, of California, took
this course when he first compounded the
famous Vinegar Bitters which now rank
as an inestimable household remedy in all
parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with a
simple statement of the manner in which
he had discovered its vegetable ingredients
and been cured, while wandering, sick and
poor, among the California tribes. He
| stated what the preparation had done for
| himself and few sufferers from dyspep-
STA, biliOusnesS, rheumatism, lung diseases,
and many other prevalent disorders, be-
| lieved him, tried the new restorative and
were more than satisfied with the results.
| In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bitters
| began, and we mention the fact as an evil
dence that in this age of intelligence and
inquiry. nothing that is really valuable to
mankind can prove pecunlary failure
even though it may lack the help of CAPT
| tai, and have to fight its way against pow
erful opposing interests. Within two OF
| three months after its introduction, the ar
ticle became selt-supporting, and it now
| yields magnificent annual revenue.

Gus manifestations of disease resulting from
Liver Complaint" as it is usually termed,
and as blood purifier, DR.. Pieree's Golden
Medical Discovery is positively unequsied.
By it the liver and kidneys are changed TO an
active, healthy state, the appetite regulated
and restored, the blood and secretions thor
oughly purified and enriched, and the whole
system renovated and built up anew.
Its action is mild, yet pOSitiUe and lasting:
It does not simply pdllidte the disease and
relieve II for the time being, but it produces
radical and lasting BENEFIT.
There are, however, some peculiar consti-
tutiORs on which the Discovery will not
prove sufficiently laxative to unclog the bow
| els. and instead of taking it in larger doses
| than two teaspoonfuls four times day, if
| that quantity does not move the bowels twice
/ in twenty-four hours, take from one to three
of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
each day, or just sufficient to produce the de-
/ sired relaxation, which should fall short of q
/ cathartic effect. In fact, the combined use of
/ the Pellets and the Discovery from the frSt
/ in the mild doses which / recommend, will
be found most effective in arousing the secre-
| ton of the liver, and subduing congestion or
| Inflammation of that organ. Do not use any
/ other laxative or cathartic with the DiscOy-
/ nv, as none other is so well calculated to work
| in harmony with and assist the Discovery In
its congenial operation. Other catharties
will frequently cOunteract and interfere with,
or neutraliZe the power and good effects OF
| the Discovery; they should not therefore be
used. These little Purgative Pellets, or SUI
| gar-Coated, Root and Herbal Juice, Anti
| bilious Granules on the other hand, are SO
| COMPOUNDED as to harmonic with and assist
/ the Discovery.

recommend it to do and more too. When

been a perfect wreck of disease, and all the
medicines and doctors bills have run up at
times to 5000 and $500, and never any better,
but worse, when l gave up all hopes last
spring of living the summer through. l re-
ceived one of your Account Books, and told
nv husband, after reading it, that it was too
late to try further, but he said it was never
too late. He went and bought two bottles,
and found it was helping me very much.
Since lS41 | was troubled with Catarrh and
Sore Throat, and was almost entirely deaf in
one ear, and my voice was as dull as could be.
There was constant pain in my head. Now
nv head is as sound as a dollar, my voice Is
clear, and | have used ten bottles of your
Discovery. 1t has cured me of Catarrh, Sore
Throat, Heart Disease. Spine Affection, and
Torpid Liver. My liver was very bad. My
skin was rough. When l put my hand on
nv body It was like fish scales. Now it is
smooth and soft as a child's. In conclusion,
l will say have been well for three months.
| am wonder to myself and friends. This
is but an imperfect statement; half has not
been told. Yours, with respect,
