THE lIANUFACTORY,

The Estey Organ mandatory is well worth

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together.

Why do people so frequently say to Dr.
Pierce: " l suppose your Golden Medical Dis
coverv cures everything p Because it has been
the practice of knavish charlatans to manufac-
ture worthless nostrums and attempt to dupe the
ignorant and credulous by recommending them
to cure every form of disease. To such an
extent has this been practiced that it is no won
der that many have acquired prejudices against
all advertised remedies. But DIR. Pierce docs
not advertise his standard preparations as
"cure-alls," does not claim that they will per-
form miracles, but simply publishes the fact
that they have been developed as specifics for
certain forms of disease for which he recon-
mends them, after having tested their efficacy
III many hundred cases with the most gratifying
success. 1t is fact known to every well in
formed physician that many single remedies
possess several different properties. Quinine
FOR instance has q tonic quality, which sug-
gests its use in cases of debility an anti-per-
odic by which it is efficacious in ague; and a
febrifuge property. which renders it efficacious
in cases of fever. The result of its administra-
ton will also vary with the quantity given and
the circumstances under which it Is employed
So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery pos
sesses both pectoral' and Alternative, or blood
cleansing properties of the highest order By
reason of these two prominent properties it
cures two classes Of diseases. First, those of
the respiratory organs, as throat, bronchial and
lung affections, chronic coughs and asthma,
and second, diseases of the blood and glandular
system, in which affections all skillful physi-
clans employ Alternatives, as in cases of blotches,
eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors assesses
and in torpor of the liver or "biliousness."
While its use is, by its combination of proper
ties, suggested in cases of pulmonary consump-

cure you if your lungs are half consumed, nor

THE EsTEY ORGAN.

Every organ which leaves the Estey manufacv
tory from the little Cottage Gem, with its four
octave manual and single set of forty-eight-
reeds, to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with
seven full sets of reeds and sixteen stops, bear
the uniform stamp of entire faithfulness in
manufacture No need to puff such wares al
rduSeun', with flaming advertisements like a
quack medicine ;.no need to push their sales by
cheapening the price. A simple statement Of
fact is their best recommendation. They are
as perfect as human ingenuity, care and skill
can make them, and are sold at the lowest
price consistent with fair profit. Whenever
improvements are possible they are adopted at
once, whether in workshop, machinery or instru-
ment. Under such circumstances, it ceases
to be a wonder that the sale of the
Estey Organ is increasing with y such
rapidity, both at home and abroad and
that enlarged facilities for its production are al
ready necessary, although the Estey establish
ment has been for years the largest reed organ
mandatory in the world Nine thousand
organs were turned out last year. These organs
represented business of over one million dol
lars Such figures are more eloquent in test-
mony of worth than the most fowery and skill
fully worded sentences.

Real Cannibals.

Real cannibals have been discovered
by missionaries on the islands of New
Britain and New Ireland, off the north
east coast of New Guinea. These natives
are nude savages of the Oriental negro
type, who live more like beasts than
human beings. The Rev. George Brown,
a Wesleyan missionary, reports that he
saw women roasting the leg and thigh of
man who had been killed in a fight.
In another hut smoke dried human flesh
was hanging. In another he counted
thirty-fi jaw bones of men and women.
Cannibalism seemed to be common
throughout the islands, not as religious
rite, but as an ordinary means of sub
sistence. The natives assured the mis-
sionary that the accounts heretofore pub
lished of race of tailed human beings
were true, and were certain that these
strange creatures were not monkeys.

THE MAKERS.

The firm of J. Estey & Co. is made up of
Mr.. Jacob Estey, his son, Julius J. Estey. and
his son-in-law, Levi X. Fuller. Mr.. Estey.
senior, Is the veteran reed organ maker of
America, if not of the world. He begun the
business in Brattleboro, thirty years ago. in
single room, with six workmen, and has make
his way constantly forward, in spite of more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact is due to the man him
self. He has made himself through force of
honesty energy, shrewdness and perseverance.
Flooding on and on, smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resolutely on all
obstacles with indomitable faith in himself and
his work, he has reached very proud place
among his fellows, while still in the prime of q
hale and vigorous manhood. His executive
ability is great He knows every detail of the
vast business and watches its daily progress
with marvellous approach to omnipresence.
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
tion he has never neglected his highest duties
and privileges as a citizen. Always foremost
in everything conducive to the public welfare,
actively interested in affairs of church, State
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem he has earned so
honorably waits impatiently for a fitting oppor-
tunity to do him honor in kind.
The younger members of the firm, who have
been active partners for decade of years, had
been trained in the business under the tuition
of their senior for some time previous, and the
partnership only served to concentrate their
energies. They are young men of sterling
natural ability, and seem to have been particu-
lary well fitted for the positions assigned them.
Mr.. julius Estey is at the head of the counting
room and supervises the mathematical intrica-
cies of the immense business with a clear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered
synonym for uniform correctness. The count
ing-room of a mandatory is where its heart
beats. Health there means strong and
regular pulsation through all the veins and
arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr.. Fuller
is at the head of the mechanics of the concern.
His native talent stimulated by a thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and in
dispensable in the long and uninterrupted Sc
ries of experiments and inventions which, I'M
der his ready and intelligent guidance, have
been combined in the complete whole known as
the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are,
equally with their elder, in the van of every
movement that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity as reliable progressive,
faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as
in their personal affairs. Character stamps
these men as it does their manufactures Posi-
tive merit is the underlying principle of their
success.

Liver Complaint.

In this disease W1sTARs BALsAM has un-
doubtedly proved more efficacious than any
remedy hitherto employed and in numerous
instances where patients had endured long and
severe suffering, without receiving the least
benefit from various remedies, and when mer-
curry had been resorted to in vain, the use of
the BALsAM has restored the liver to a healthy
action, and in many instances effected perma-
nent cures, after every known remedy had fail
cd to produce the desired effect
