Rational Treatment, Positive Cures.


 Dr. R. V. Pierce, President of the Worlds Dispensary Medical Association, is in earnest in selling his medicines under positive guarantees, and if any, body who purchases and uses any of these widely celebrated remedies, does not derive benefit therefrom, the Asso- citation would like to hear from that person with description of symptoms and history of case. Organized and in corporated, as the Association is, to teach medicine and surgery and for the successful treatment of all chronic dis eases and managing annually thousands of cases through our original method of diagnosis without ever seeing the patients, and having also the largest sanitarium in the world for the ac- commodation of tho more complicated cases, and also for surgical cases, the Faculty feel themselves prepared to undertake even the most discouraging cases. They resort to all the best remedial means known to modern medical science-neglecting nothing. Address, Worlds Dispensary Medical Ass ociation, Buffalo, N. Y., or Great Russell Street Buildings, London, Eng.-Ncaos.

A Host of Disorderly Symptoms

Follow fast upon irregularity of the bowels. The liver is thrown out of gear, the stomach is hampered by undigested food fatulence, heartburn, sick headaches and uneasiness in the region of the liver infallibly ensue. But by breaking the partial blockade which produces them, and opening the avenue of discharge with that superlatively fine aperient Hostetter's s Stomach Bitters, reform of these disorders speedily takes place. Nothing can be more dis similar from the action of drenching purgative than that of the benign alternative named. The laxative effect is produced without pain or inconvenience, and the excretory organs are in vigorated as we'll as relieved, which is not the case when they are abruptly coerced into action with cathartic of inferior efficacy and violent operation. The use of the Bitters will soon be found by any one of constipated habit, to be productive not only of the special result sought but of general benefit to health.

Would Not Offend Him.

A young lady residing near Belfast, in Ireland, was visiting some relatives in New Jersey few winters ago. She pre- tended to be very much puzzled over the democratic state of affairs in our Re- public. The village baker was Justice of the Peace, and shoemaker had been elected Assemblyman, while the State Senator from that district was 8 coarse. illiterate man-none of them by any means gentlemen, as she understood the word. She went skating with the chil- dren one afternoon, and after herreturn, told 8 friend that on the pond the butch CTS boy had greeted her, and offered to assist her in putting on her skates.
 ( You didn't allow him to do so, did you?" demanded her friend, little in- dignantly.
 !" Oh yes,' she said, "and skated with him too. I didn't know but he'd be President of the United States some day, and I didn't want to offend him"

A Rough Translation.

A young lady, moving in the most ex- alted social circles of Galveston, after much toll and practice at the piano, learned to play with considerable dex- terity piece entitled "Picnic Polka. Y" It is something after the style of the celebrated "Battle of Prague" in which the listener can readily distinguish the roar of artillery, the rattle of musketry, the shouts of the soldiers and the groans of the dying. In the "Picnic Polka " the noise of the wind among the trees and the joyous carols of the birds are re- produced, the finale being thunder shower which disturbs the sylvan revel- CTS. It happens that @ country cousin is in town just now, and the young lady thought she would play the piece to him and hear his comment. He is a plain, simple minded youth, and although not very bright, is very appreciative. She told him what the piece was, and then proceeded to give him the "Picnic Polka" The first notes are rather slow and hesitating, the idea sought to be con- veyed being the solemn solitude of a for est, through which the gentle zephyr not heifer) sighs. After she got through with this preface, she asked him if he did not almost imagine himself in a lodge in some vast wilderness. He replied that he thought all that slowness meant the delay in getting off. Said he, ''There is always some alarmed fellow who over- sleeps himself and keeps everybody else waiting."
 She did not care to discuss the point with the ignorant fellow, so, to conceal her emotions, she once more let herself out on the piano. The woods were filled with music. The mocking bird whistled as if his throat would split, the cuckoo filled the sylvan bowers with his repeat. ed cry, while ever and anon the mourn. full cooing of the dove interrupted the matin song of the lark.
 "There, now, guess you know what that sounds like," she said, as she paused.
 '.!You mean that tootle, tootle, too. tie, ehug, chug, chug?' You just bet understand that. Many is the time at 6 picnic I've heard it from the mouth ol demijohn or the bunghole of 8 bee, keg."
 Her first impulse was to hurl the piano stool at him, but it passed of, and once more she went at the piano as if il was the young mans head and was in sured for double its value, The thunder growled, the lightning flashed (from. hel eyes), and the first heavy drops are heard upon the leaves. She banged and mauled the keys at fearful rate; peal after peal of deafening thunder perturb- ed the atmosphere and re-echoed in still louder reverberations until it wound up in one appalling clap as grand finale. Then, turning to the awe-struck youth, she said
 "I suppose you have heard something like that before?"
 "Yes, that's what the fellow with linen pants said when he sat down on the cus- tard pie. @ Tho audience found himself alone, but he picked up his hat and sauntered out into the street, densely unconscious that he had said anything out of the way. ..#-.
