A. T. SrEwART-INCIDENTs OF HIS LIFE.-Mr. Stewart usually breakfassed at eight o'clock, his meal ordinarily con. sisting of plain bread a bit of fish, an egg. and some oatmeal porridge. Then he was driven dOan to the retail establishment, where he spent two or three hours, walking through every part of 1t, asking the sales men the price of goods in order to ascer. tain whether they were up in their duties. and observing how affairs were carried on. Then he went down in his carriage to his wholesale store. There he read his letters and transacted business until six o'clock: For many years he was accustomed to dine at Delmonico's, on the opposite side of Broadway, but latterly he dined at home. Getting an interview with him was very much like getting access to the prime minister of England. He was seen only at the down to Sn store, and on the visitors entering, the floor walker near the door would first inquire the visitors business. If he said he wanted to see Mir. Stewart, he was asked what he want ed of him, and, if it was anything that a subordinate could attend to it was turned over to him. If he still insisted upon seeing the great man himself, he was al. lowed to go as far as the foot of the stairs where another Cerberus was in waiting and, unless he could be satisfied that it was worth while disturbing Mir. Stewart. the visitor vas turned back. Often a mes. sage came down which would enable the business to be settled by simple yes or no. If not, the visitor was allowed to % mp the stairs and wait again within sight of the glazed enclosure where Mir. Stewa, sat. and, in due time, was summoned into his presence Though courteous in man. ner, Mr. Stewart wasted no words. and anything like bore was summarily dis. mlssed. And m no other way could he have got through with the immense num- Der of calls that were daily made upon him. .-
 Mir Stewart was not greatly given to hospitality. but he always enter talned his friends at dinner on Sunday afternoon. Every one on his visiting list was at liber- ty tO come; the only condition being that ffteun minutes notice should be given. In this way he gathered around his board. week after week, $ number, greater or less. arcOrding to circumstances. of dis. hnguished citizens or strangers, usually fifteen or t~enty ladies' and Rentlem en. Dinner vas served at six, and at nine the company withdrew to the gallery and library

I also suffer- ed from terrible Chronic Catarrh, aud in face was so diseased that life was a burden to me: had tried many doctors with no benefit. tnally procured one- half dozen bottles of your Golden Medi- cal Discovery and one dozen Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy and commenced their use At first was badly discouraged, but af- ter taking four bottles of the Discovery began to improve, and when had taken the remainder was aoelt. Tn addition to the use of Discovery applied a solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck. as you advlse in pamphlet wrapping, and it entirely disappeared. Your Discovery is certainly the most wonderful blood medi- cine ever invented. I thank God and you, from the depths of my heart for the great good it has done ne.
 Very gratefully,
 MRS l.. CHAPTER.
 Most medicines which are advertised as blood purifiers and liver medicines con. tain either mercury, in some form, or pot asslum and iodine variously combined. All of these agents have strong tendency to break down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate and otherwise permanently ill. lure the human system, and should there fore be discarded Dr. Pierees Golden Medical Discovery, on the other hand. being composed of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks and roots, will in no case produce injury, it's effects being strengthening and curative only. Sarsa. parilla. which used to enjoy quite a repu- tation as blood purifier, is remedy of thirty yerrs ago, and may we'll give place as 1t is doing, to the more positive and valuable vegetable alternatives which lat CT medical investigation and discovery has brought to light.

When we had given up all hopes of his liv- ing we were told to try yegetine, the great blood remedy: and he had laden it but short time before we could see great change. The sores run so bad that We had to change tue cloths four or five times day Still, he was getting better; for he could move his limbs and help himself little He was seon able to sit up in bed and by the constant of vegetine 1t has cul ed him. He has lame ieg which he viii probably have for hfe but all honestly believe if We had used Negetine before had bothe, ed with those doctors would have the use of his leo and restored it to natural health. hope all those troubled with Scrofula will read this testimony of me and my son, who is we'll and able to speak for himself. ~
