AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATIIARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are 4 safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically tue estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. L have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
l have ever found. 1t is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and l always do SO
when occasion offers.

al have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand ut our home, and prize them as a
pleasant. safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing
from -Atfdntt, Ga, says: . For some years
past l have been subject to constipation,
from which, i'll spite of the use of medi-
zines of various kinds, suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago l
began taking AYERS PILLS They have
entirely corrected The costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-
laritics of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tito and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

Wherever it is found by expert
ment that the commercial fertilizers
help the crops they should be used up
to the limit that they are found profit
able. Only part of the benefit is
given to the first crop, and if this
pays the expense, as it often will, the
surplus is so much accumulated cap
ital to be drawn upon i'll future years.
With some kind of crops extra heavy
manuring is the only means Of secur-
ing paying crops.

A Diamond Experiment.

A curious point in diamond lore has Just
been established, TO the delight OF sayants
in Paris, where the exhibition Of the Crown
Jewel. u; the Louvre has made the subject
very popular for the moment. IL has long
been laId down that the diamond has the
power Of retaining light and Of afterward
emitting 1t in the dark. The theory has
been well buttressed by reasons, but the
proof has not been easy OF test. All, or
nearly all, the great diamonGs--such as
the kOhinoor, the Regent, the Grand
Mogul-cannot. for public reasons, be
made the subject OF experiment, and stones
OF lesser size do not always give salts
factory results. Happily, q private indi-
vidual. the owner OF gem OF ninety-two
carats, and estimated at value Of 100000
francs, has lent his diamond for scientific
investigations. These have been most sat
isiactory, and the "phosphorescence" OF
the stone may be regarded as proved. The
diamond was exposed for an hour 10 the
direct action OF the suns rays and after
ward removed into dark room. For
more than twenty minutes aiteTward il
emitted light, feeble indeed, but still sui-
ficlently strong 10 make sheet OF white

A similar result was arrived at by a very

A SAD SUICIDE.
A..Young Philadelphia Artist ssrangies Him
seir-The Motive Unknown.

A Philadelphia telegram of June 3oth
says: Otto Kaiser, Jr., n wellknown fresco
painter and decorative artist, was found
strangled to death this morning In the hall-
way Of his place Of Business, No. 1908 Wal
nut street. The Young man had commit
ted suicide. hut the motives which prompt
ed the sct are still involved in doubt. Mr..
Kaiser was a prosperous young German,
about thirty-two years Of age. He nad
wife and two charming chi.drcn-a boy O.!
seven and girl Of four years. Those who
know him best say that his domestic life
had always been one OF unall0yed happ,
ness. His business was supposed 10 be ex-
cellent. aud he was believed TO be accumu-
latiug money. As skilful artist and de-
coratIvc raper-hanger he stood in the front
rank Of his profession, and bad done some
Of the best and most clab0r ate work in the
city.
TIE DISCOVERY.
Mr.. Kaiser had been absent from his
home, ut the southwest corner Of Fifth
and Powell streets, since last Saturday
evening, His absence, however, caused
no alarm until this morning, when some
oi his workmen, coming 10 the Walnut
street establishment at the usual hour,
found the place still locked up. james
DOnahue, Mr.. KaiScr's brOther-ln-law. WAS
sent for. Finding himself unable to gain
admission, and fearing that something
was wrong, Mr.. Donahue procured a key
and returned. accompanied by two officers
Of the Nineteenth district. Upon efectlng
an entrance into the front Office, Mr.. Dom
ahue found lying upon the pr0prietor's
desk the following letter:
June 2S. 1884.

A PERSISTENT SUICIDE.
Rushing 20 the hallway on the third
floor. the party there found the body Of the
yo' NJ artist. He had tied stout piece OF
cord about his neck and attached it to the
stairway above his mead; then, mounting
the hanfrail OF the staircase, he had let
himself down deliberately until he stran-
gleG to death. The position in which the
body Was found. with the legs on either
side Of the handrail, indicated the mans
persistence in taking his lie. Had he been
30 disposed he could have rescued himself
from his position il his resolution had for
saken him at the last moment. No one APP
pears TO have any knowledge Of the mis-
fortunes to which he refers in his last letter

licved to have been wholly or mainly
