Everybody knows that the life OF the
average physician is hard one, He 10
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for q merely NOM
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judiciNus use of PERUNA.
II he will only nd this great remedy to
his list ofmedicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for Its use will be found In tho
=" Ills of Life" and he should ut once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Eric. Ia, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel 1t my duty to
express TO you my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of your
medicines, fERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me 20 my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in week was perfectly WE'LL"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN.

am feeling quite well. The people say
your PERUNA and MANALIN nre doing a
miracle. do not take nearly SO much

Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes az have used your PERUNA and
MANALIN with good results. In the year
of 1850 was so bad that could scarcely
walk. used PERuNA and MANALIN,
and ain now rs healthy as l have ever
been. l have also recommended II to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it,
Mr.. c. II. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes: "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared TO get but little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal of good the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it success. For general
debility. and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA curod her."

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
The StatiODers' Windows Bristling with
IIideOus Caricatures and Smiling

The StatiODers' Windows BristlinG with
Uide0us Caricatures and Smiling
with sweet Sentiment.
Next Saturday, Feb. II, will be st. Val
entine's Day, and the statiOners' windows
and show cases are fun of the missives,
big and little, cheap and costly, that will
burden the mails and make the pOstman's
heart as we'll as his mail bag heavy.
The sending OF valentines grew out of a
peculiar ana amusing custom that for
merly prevailed in Scotland and England
and i'm different parts of the continent.
particularly in France. On the eve of St.
Valentine a number of young folks, maids
and bachelors, would assemble and in
scribe upon little billets the names Of
an equal number of maids and bach
elOrs of their acquaintance, then
throw the whole into a receptacle Of some
sort and draw them out as sort OF lot
terry. care being taken of course that each
one should draw the name of one of the
opposite sex. The person thus drawn be-
come ones Valentine. The connection Of
the custom with st. Valentine is purely
accidental. In the early legends of the
different saints of that name. no trace of
the practice peculiar to the 18th Of Feb
ruaTy is found. some writer's, how
ever, say that st. alentine was
man so famous Tor MS love ana chdrlJy
that the custom of choosing valentines
upon his festival took its rise from thence.
Others derived the custom from birds
being supposed to select their mates on
this day, and others still from aprac-
tice prevalent in Rome upon a certain
festival during the month of February,
when, among other ceremonies, the names
Of young women We're placed in box,
from which they We're taken by young

the carly church finding it impossible to
eX pate this pagan ceremony, changed
its form into that which prevailed in Scot
land and Englanl.

The Friend of the Paper.

The alleged friends of newspaper have
some very peculiar ideas as to what kind
of items a newspaper really needs. Not
long since a gentleman named Smith
came into the Texas SittjpgS sanctum
in partrOniZing sort of way.
s'DOn't you know that you are missing
dead coolies of live items by not mixing
more with the people? Now, l am on the
street all day long, and come across plenty
of items, and, if you say so, I'll come up
here every once in while, and post you
about what is going on"
"All right"
HPVe got an item for you right now
that will increase the circulation of your
paper like the very mischief. You know
Major SniVerly, who ran against me for
Alderman in my ward, and who beat
me by the vilest bribery and corrup-
tiOn?'
"Well, what about him"
CHE has been picked up at last. One of
his uncles in Missouri has elOped with a
widow and left his own family destitute.
Go for Sniyerly. Don't spare him. just
lit him out of his boots. I'd have beat
him for Alderman by more than hundred
votes if he had not resOrted to bribery
and corruption
"HaYe YOU any more valuable items for
the paper, Mr.. Smith?'
and yours is the only paper Pm giving it
to. To save you trouble | have written 1t
out. Here it is: Phi read it to yOu," and
taking some manuscript from his pocket,
he read: "'A Curious Freak of Nature
The family cat of our worthy and distin-
guished fellow citizen, Peter Smith, a
better man than whom God never let live,
and who keeps the boss grocery store OF
Austin, beer always on tap, yesterday
became the mother of six beautifully
marked kittens. We understand that the
taxpayers of his ward are endeaYOring to
induce Mr.. Smith to once more become a
candidate for Alderman in that ward, in
which case we perdict he will carry
everything before him. How is that for
a live item?"
eve charge ten dollars for announcing
candidates for office" remarked the
editor.
Mr.. Smith arose, placed his manuscript
under his arm, and strobe away. He goes
around now telling everybody that a
really independent paper should be
started in Austin, paper that is not con-
trolled by any ring or clique, but is de-
voted to the interests Of the whole people.
Many readers may think this picture is
oVerdrawn, but suffering editors all over
the United States will lift up their hands
and testify that they are personally ac-
quainted with Smith.

A Friendly Chat,

and on such subject as shoes, ought GER
tainly excuse this slight trespass on your
time. Never before have we shown such
a choice assortment of shoes as the one
that now makes this department the most
attractive in the store. Never before have
we been able to offer you so much value
for so little money in return. You can
now purchase from us the same makes as
regular shoe stores keep at saving of
from 80 cents to 50 a pair. The reason for
this is very simple. We do not depend on
our shoe department to pay expenses as
exclusive shoe stores are compelled to do.
Besides this, our Mr.. Altmayer is con-
tinually at our New York office, where he
is ever ready to accept bargains which
are offered. Another very good reason is
that we sell strictly for casino bad debts
to pay for in our house. The above are
a few of the many reasons why we can
reduce your shoe bills. We extend an
invitation to you to call and look over our
stock, whether you wish to buy or not.
You will not be asked to do so, or your
queries in regard to our goods meet with
other than cheerful replies. Five minutes
spent in our shoe department will be
better argument in our favor than any we
can write. Look al our advertisement on
third page. A. II. ALTMAYER IL Co.
