Some Personal Sketches and Incidents OF
New York Workers In tho Highest
Walks OF Life.
The reader of the morning paper who sits
by his coy freside and is informed Of what is
Transporting in every quarter Of the globe
seldom realizes tho amount of actual labor
necessary to ascertain, collect, write, trans
nit, and print this wonderful mass of news.
And yet, aside from the special dispatches, IL
is all centered in one office, located in the
tower of the telegraph building in New York,
and presided over by quiet gentleman in a
most mastery manner. 3D..
Mr.. William Henry Smith, manager Of the
Associated Press, is in the prime of life, and
possesses mind clear as to the requirements
of the public. TO properly and promptly
handle the mass of matter that passes through
his hands is an enormous undertaking, and
one which may well test the capacity Of any
man. Mr.. Smith has always been an arduous
worker, and it is by no means surprising that
his health should in the past have suffered
moro or less thereby. The mental strain nee
essary to tho performance of his duties caused
difficulties of digestion which are not easily
overcome, and also uremic collie both pain
full and eXhausting. All attempts to overcome
these tendencies by force of will power failed,
and he consulted eminent physicians, among
others, DIR. II. Webster Jones, of Chicago, and
DR.. Barthol, Of Philadelphia. In spite, how
ever, of the care and skill of these practition-
ers no drew worse constantly. The result

An interview with Mr. @. w. Smith, the G.
& o. railroad manager above referred to,
elected the fact that he had been in oven
moro serious condition physically than his
brother. In addition to his other troubles he
had been afflicted with severe calculus or
stone in the kidney. During the periods
when these stones were being passed from the
kidneys to tho bladder hc became completely
Frustrated by tho pain, and was scarcely able
to move. The agony was indescribable.
Since he began the use of this great remedy,
however, he had been free from these troubles
and all causes which produced them. He
had also found the medicine of great value in
his family, and had used it with tho best re-
suits continually.
Mr. George Alfred Townsend, the famous
newspaper correspondent whose letters writ
ten over the nom-de-plume of Gath" have
attracted such wide attention, said to the
writer This last summer while in England
/ had pleasant visit with ex-Gov. 5. b.
Packard, our consul at Liverpool. We were
remarking on the death of number of dis

of ou public men are passing away, victims
of one dread scourge. There is no need OF
their dying, il they will consent to avail
themselves of what has been provided for
them as / have Gov. Packard went on to
describe his experience and found his symp-
toms correspondent almost exactly to my own.

remedy Gov. Packard used and commended

disorder, and removed it entirely. / regard

Mr.. w. A. Beach, the celebrated jurist, who
| has been actively engaged for tho past fifty
years, ana VINO SO aDly conducted tne uelense
| in tho Beecher trial, said: 81 have been in
the constant use of Warmers Safe Cure, in
connection with Warmers Safe Pills, for about

and was worn and weared by so years of
professio nal labor, and daily prostration and
languor quite dsincllned me to any exertion,

My use of Warmers Safe Cure has given me
renewed vigor and vitality and enabled me
to discharge my duties with spirit and zeal.
i am still using it, and shall continue to do
so, grateful that it has so much relieved me
from the intrmities of age and toll.
The above statements arc not from obscure
sources hut from gentlemen in tho most ex-
allied stations of trust and responsibility, and
the aiiirmations they make are the results OF
actual observation Does it not stand to rea-
son, therefore, that the article of which they
speak is most valuable one, and such as may
be used with great benefit by all who arc suf-
