A MISERABLE MAN.

He felt poorly, and looked as badly as he |
felt. He was ailing all over, from the |
crown of his aching head to the soles of
his weary feet. He had a pair of lack
lustre eyes which told of sAeepless nights
and cherries days. Instead of holding
himself erect, and walking with firm step
like soldier, he stopped with his shoulders
and held his spine in a curve as If it was
part of an old barrel-hoop. He said that
some of his friends told him he had
heart-disease. So he went to three or four
doctors who made heart-disease their
| speciality. These doctors looked solemn,
| pocketed the fees he gave them, punched
| his ribs, pounded him on the back, pat
their ears alongside of his heart to hear IL
it was beating;-and then, one after aaosh-
| er, reported that he had no heart-discase.
So he had to try some other disease. and
in hopes of finding that he had something
that the doctors could cure, he listened to
some of his neighbors who told hisn they
guessed he had consumption. There are a
greet many doctors who cure nothing else
but consumption, and don't know how to
cpre that. But they make specially of
it, all the same, and charge high fees &C.
cordingly. So when he went to several of
shese doctors one after another, they sound
4
instruments with long names. They looked
, wise at him as they took his money, but
yet they said that although he was quite q
sick man, they thought his lungs were sound
enough, and he need not worry about them
> Then he's got an idea that his liver was
out OF order. This was an idea which he
found very easy to cultivate. He found
that many of his friends had the same
symptoms that he had. He bought liver
pad and lot of liver pills, and might a:
well have swallowed the pad and strapped
the pills around his waist, for all the gooG
that either of them did him.
So he became more wretched than hi
was, and had the miserables worse an6
worse. If anybody asked him how he was
4 he said worse, thank YOU" His family
said he was enjoying poor health. Poo
n fellow! His health was so poor that h,
couldn't enjoy it at all.''
r THE MIsERABLEs'' is not one of the reg
ular diseases on the list prescribed for b,
6 physicians. It is a state of affairs result
ing from a weakened and distressed stat,
= of the stomach. The more careless ma,
q is of his stomach the worse he will have it
: With some people it ends in wretchednes
: and death. But it need not, if they take i

Q what shall I do to get rid of the mis-
+ erables!'' is the question asked to-day b.
ten thousand weary, worried and suffering
men in this city.
= ''Do?" Why. do just what the poor fell
J low at last did of whom we have been talk
n ing. He found out that the bother pro
d ceeded from an over-worked and broken
down stomach. He was told that Brown
g Iron Bitters would do him good. He hard
d ly believed it, yet he thought they could
!, at The worst, do him no greater harm tina,
: some of the treatment he had been through
So he tried Browns Iron Bitters. This med
icine began at once to make new man O.
t him. 1t was not the work of day, for h,
e was much run down. Soon his blood wa
It enriched, his muscles strengthened, hi
5 nerves had new life, his eyes recovered tn.
e natural sparkle they had in his younge
days. No longer has he had ''The Miser

him what made him such a different maj

Y such as he never could when he had eth
