EVERY SEVEN YEARS, Psychologists say, the
human body IS entirely changed and renewed.
Every moment of our lives, every part of our
bodies is wearing out and is being built up
anew Of fresh matter. This work is accom-
plished by the blood which goes through
every part But if the blood becomes weak
or vitiated, and does not perform its work
properly, the system is actually poisoned by
the worn-out matter clogging the vital organs
instead of leaving the body. For dyspepsia,

as much as inches in circumference and
some even exceeding that. They are of most

will grow as many quarts per acre as any

much in price. They were grown by Mr.. J.

The Coal Trade.
The Philadelphia Ledger Of Monday
last, commenting upon the condition of
the coal trade, says:
The anthracite coal trade for the
week ending on the 9th instant is with
out any special feature. 1t is still quiet.
Production in all the coal regions is at
a very low point, and 10 movement
seems to be making to give it impetus.
The market supply is such that opera
tosr do not care to add TO it.. Under
this state Of feeling no collieries in the
Schuy kill and Lehigh regions are in
operation, except such as are supplying
local consumption. The coal carrying
companies in what is known as the COM
bination are negotiating little all the
time as to programme of operations
for the current year, but no conclusion,
as we learn, has as yet been reached.
No trouble among them however, is an.
ticipated just now.

followed ia regular order by the other
