CHIEF CLERK MARI, of the first assis-
tant's division has been employed in the
post Office department at Washington for
more than fifty years continuously. He was
appointed to 5000 clerkship by Postmaster
General Barry on the 1st of June, 1881, in
President Jackson's first term. At that time
there were only 5000 post Offices in the
United States, and the entire revenue of the
department was less than 100000 a
year. Now there are $1,000 post offices, and
the annual revenue is over $50, ,OO0, 900.

cheerful prophecies is out for 1882. He
apportions a good deal of trouble for our

ington in February, and New York will
have great excitement ard vast confagra-
ton. A financial panic and the burning of

depended upon.

MEDICAL.
Wearing Out !!

That is just what a great
many people are doing. They
know something is wrong,
and yet can't tell what is the
matter. Z
Did you ever think what a
large proportion ofthe Amer
ican people are sick, or at
least if not exactly sick, are
not wellP Something is the
matter all the time.
How many people Of your
personal acquaintance are
constantly complaining Of
being so tired, having such
a headache of mot feeling
just right" and thousand
and one other things, until it
almost seems as if the world
had become one huge hospi-
tai filled with incurables?
WHAT'S the cause ofallthis?
Certainly it is not a natural
condition, but on the contrary
is one that should occasion
much anxiety and alarm.
The American people are
proverbially in a hurry. They
eat ina hurry work in a hurry,
and sleep in a hurry, over
working and overstraining
nature, and then wonder why
it is they don't feel well and
strong.
One of the results of the
American way of rushing"
everything is the impoverish-
ing of the blood, which fur
nishes the sinews of life. Not
being able to respond to the
calls made on it, the blood
becomes thin and weak, and
losing its strength it soon
fails to accomplish the work
for which it is intended, and
disease in its varied forms is
the inevitable result.
AS everybody knows, Iron
is one of the most important
clements that enter into the
composition of the blood.
Just so long as there is plen-
ty of Iron in the blood just
SO long will it be healthy and
convey health and strength
70 the whole body.
It is for this reason that
tie whole medical fraternity
has for years been endeavor-
ing to discover some way in
which Iron could be SO pre-
pared that it could be easily
taken, and would thoroughly
and quickly assimilate with
the blood, and thus be dis
tributed through the system.
Every new discovery has
been hailedwith delight, only
III a short time to be thrown
aside because it would net
stand the test of time.
