To prevent saddle gals, the saddle
should be lined with some smooth,
hard substance. Flannel or woolen
cloth is bad. A hard-fnished, smooth
rawhide lining, similar 10 those Of the

il the saddle is properly fitted to the
horses back, there will be no gals
unless the horse is very hardly used.

A World Wide Reputa,,on.

DR.. X. V. Pierce, having acquired c reputa-
ton IN the treatment OF chronic diseases result
ing in professional business far exceeding his
individual ability 10 conduct, some years ago
induced several medica gentlemen 70 associate
themselves with him as the faculty II the
Worlds Dispensary, the consulting department
Of which has since been merged with the In
valids' hotel. The organization hos now been
completed and incorporated under the statute
enacted by the legislature Of the State Of New
York, under the name and style Of the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association"
We clip the following from the Buffalo
Express:
A branch Of the Worlds Dispensary Medi-
cal Association is TO be established in London,
Eng, step which the continually increasing
European business Of the Dispensary has been
found TO warrant, and next week DIR. B. Il.
Bedortha will s,dl for the great metropolis
named, to superintehd the organization of the
new institution. This gentleman has been for
some four years associated with DIR. Pierce in
a position of responsibility, and is well qualified
for the duty now entrusted 10 him. Hereto
fore the foreign business Of the Worlds Dis
pensary has been transacted through the
agency of prominent druggists, but it has as
sumed such proportions rs TO require more de
rect care. DIR. Bedortha will no doubt success
fully carry out his mission, being gentleman
of excellent business abilities and most pleas
ing address.
