The Eseef supply
Scientific American

I
Notwithstanding the enormous adj
vance made in embarrassing durin-
the past twenty years or so, the III
creased sIppiy, even in favorable Sca-
sons, has not been at NIL commensug
rate with the increase in the demand
for beef. The ratio of increase in
cattle Is less thsnt that in population,
50 that even with the change in die
tetic habits the demand for beef would
tend to steadily outrun the supply.
But our appetite for beef increases
much more rapidly than our numbers.
The marketman makes his daily rounds
with fresh beef IN hundreds of com
munities where salt pork was eaten al
most exclusively twenty five years ago;
and generally throughout the country
beef has largely displaced pork on the
tables Of farmers, mechanics and well
to-do people. This partly because of
the universe improvement IN the scale
of popular living, due to general pros
pcrity, but more, perhaps, TO the in
tlucncc of an active school of would
be rctormers who have pcrsistently de
cried pork as an article of food and
created a widespread and unr"ason-
able prejudice against it. Leaving
ont of consideration any possible in

portatioE, we may reasonahy antici-

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from dersnge-
msnt Of the stomach bowels, and liver.
AYERS GkTHARTIC Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their deranRe-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Haadache, Dysentery,
and a host Of other ailments, for ali Of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prae-
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical probes
sion. -.-.-F. .--
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from HsRIlaoiRs writes:
"A yER's pills are Invaluable tome, and
are my constant companion, have been

PILLS are the only thing ] could lock to
for relief. One dose viii quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They

The REV. FRANCIS Il. HARuowE, writing

past have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite Of the use Of medi-
cines of various kinds l suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARrIC PILLS correct irregu-
