From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The days of the glory of the old-fash-
toned river steamboating have largely de-
parted. 1t is with mingled sadness and
joyful recollection Of the past that old
steamboat men sometimes get together to
tell yarns about the former times and OF
their lively adventures aud hair-breadth
escapes. When such boats as the Jacob
Strade and her companions were in their
prime, and when there was no other way
of going from Cincinnati to New Orleans
except by water, the steamboat men
were kings. But the railroads came and
took the bulk Of the passenger traffic, and
the golden days Of steambOating passed
away.
The question is often asked If the rail-
roads will ever be able entirely to run the
steamboats, off Of our great rivers. 1t is
safe to say that they will not. The steam
boat interest is one of great magnitude;
and as long as we have such majestic
streams as the Ohio and the Mississippi
there will be steamboats,. The boats run
at great disadvantage, however, as com
pared with the railway lines, for with
the times at which the water is too high
and those at which there is barely enough
TO enable them to scrape over the
bars, boating is irregular and uncertain
work.
But boats must be run, must be insured,
and must be lett in good order. To this
end our board OF marine underwriters
keeps up constant and careful system
Of inspection. Inspector George Kendall
is at the head of this service, and is well
known, not only to Cincinnati people, but
to all the steamboat men from here to
New Orleans. From boy hood he has been
on the rivers, and we'll knows all their
joys and dangers. One of our cOrrespOn-
dents had a talk with him the other day
at his office on Public landing. MIR. Ken
dali called up some "reminiscences of war
times when he was naval constructor at
Mound City. Mound City was lively
place in those days, but Is now as quiet as
a store whose pToprietOrs do not adver-
tise. In the conversation some mat
ters of personal experience regarding
health and sickness came up tor men,

81 have generally enjoyed rugged
health" said Mr. Kendall, "but two or
three years ago / was taken with consti-
patton and some pretty severe kidney
trouble. | suppose it came from catching
cold. | am n good deal exposed to
draughts here in the Office, and then /
have to 20 down into steamboat holds
l.
it badly for awhile, but i got rid of the
whole trouble by using Browns Iron
Bitters. | JhInk that's the best medicine
l know Of Tell you how IL was l first
got It. had been to st. Louis with my
son, and he was taken with in1amma-
ton OF the liver; bad case il was. too.
l had heard Barclay, the druggist at
Cairo, speak about Browns Iron Bitters,
and say IL was a hrst-rate thing, for ii
had done good to some OF his friends. At
Grand Tower l got a bottle Of 1t, and
gave it TO my sOn as directed. The
effect was surprising. 1t brought him
right out of his sickness, and he had no
return Of it.
"Then tried it myself, for / thought il
Il did him so much good it ought to do
something for me. / was suffering badly
then with constipation, and my kidneys
were not working right az all. A few
doses began 10 tell on me. ] saw IL was
the very medicine / needed, and l found
il was a iirst-rate tonic. 1 have taken IL
for that since l got rid of my kidney diff
Guilty and constipation. You see 1 am in
very good health now, and l want TO keep

"Have you used this medicine in your
family for others than yourself and your

eyes, yes; we use 1t as family tonic.
by the half-dOzen bottles. l have bottle
or Two nc home now, and mean 10 get
more when that supply is out. There is
nothing like IL for people who are run
down aud feel weak. For women aud
children who are aDing IL is a great
siren gthener and appetizer. IL Ia a great
deal better than those whisky bitters. for
this does no harm, while some OF them
are Eery mischlevOus. For a steady-gO-
Ing medicine that you can ALWAYS RELY
on. give me Browns Iron Bitters."
Browns Iron Bitiers IL made by an old
and well-knOWn house in Baltimore, the
Brown Chemical Company. IL has be-
come household word I'm and around
Cincinnati, for IL has done 80 much good
tOmany well-known Cincinnati people.
GO and ask any druggist and you will
barn that IL is the popular bitters
they have on sale. 10 Is the only
preparation Of iron which does not injure
tae teeth and produce constipation.
Home testimony In addition n tho
above ought to prove the efficacy OF this
valuable remedy;
Mr.. WIN. q. Workman, 40 Bay street,
says: III suffered with malaria for two
years, aud my physician only rendered
me temporary reliet. found decided ard
permanent benefit from the use OF
Browns Iron Bitters, and oheerfully rec
Omnend It."
Mr. Henry Thomson, 20 Bull street.
Save 81 used Browns Iron Bitt0rs for
general debility and disordered liver.
Good results we're noticeable from the
use Of one bottle, and It's continuanc
cured me-"
