MR.. DIOGONEs-

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his eccentricities, bad man.
ners, and bad disposition. 1t was his CHIEF
business TO find fault. For example, he took
a lantern one day when the sun was shining
brightly and went out to search for an honest
man, thereby ~insiDuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a
distinguished military gentleman, paid him q
visit, and inquired what he could do for him,
he had the impudence to tell him to ''get out
OF his sunshine" To cap the the climax Of
his oddities. he dressed like a beggar and lived
In a tub! He was a sour, grabbed, crusty old
bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, fisst,
because history does not mention her: second,
because no woman would take kindly To one
Of his habits, dress, or manners, or aspire to
become mistress of his mansion. There was
an old woman who lived in a shoe" it is true.
but the woman who would live In a tub. and
especially with such a companion. has not
been heard from The misanthropic spirit
which possessed this man was doubtless due
to dieordered digestion snd a biliousness. one
OF the prominent symptoms Of which is a mo
rose, faultfinding disposition. The tongue is
heavily coated, giving rise to a bad taste, The
appetite is not good, and the patient feels
dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to he fretful.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes lived several
centuries before DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets were invented, q few doses of
which would have relieved him Of his '.bile."
and enabled him 10 find scores of honest
men" without the aid Of his lantern. Under
their magic influence, combined with that of
the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his
blood. he might have been led to take
q more cheerful view OF life, 10 exchange his
tub for a decent habitation, to spruce up" In
personal appearance, and at last have taken a
wife to mend his clothes and his manner
both OF which were in evident need Of repairs.
and become the happy sire Of little Diogene-
ses who would have handed down to posterity
the name, not Of q cynic philosopher, but OF
a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous mani!
