TIME AND IT'S TEACHINGS,

Il have had much experience of that n,isera-
Ole complaint
DR.. H. L. Stearns, of East Hawley. Pa, writes
thus about FEVER AND AGUE, incidentally re-
marking that he is ,,,'practicing in an eminently
malariouS district
Miserable" is, indeed the proper word for
what complaint is there capable of making its
forms of malarial troubles can do? Other dis
eases may kill quicker, or possibly cause more
acute agony for brief time; but in their abil-
ity to transpose a human life into series of
wretched dragging. joyless days and nights,
malarial disorders stand first and stand alone.
DIR. Stearns adds: 1.-The regular treatment
proved wholly unsatisfactory, and it was not
until began to prescribe DREsHLERs ANTI
PERIODIC PILLS, that l was at ALI successful.
Since then more than 500 boxes have been used
under my immediate supervision, and deem it
only an act of justice to certify that | have
never known single failure
Twenty years ago Mr.. X. B. Coleman, then
proprietor of the Astor House. wrote to DR..
Dreshler: II shall not claim the $500 you agreed
to give me if your medicine did not cure me,
for the Pills have completely delivered me from
CHILLS AND FEVER, and health is better than
money"
DRESHLER'S ANTI-PERIODIC PILLS have been
doing this work for an entire generation, and
their reputation is solid as the hills. They con-
tain no mercury, Quinine nor arsenic. They
thoroughly expel malaral poison from the sys-
tenn, and yet are perfectly safe for both sexes,
all ages and the most delicate constitutions.
Ask your druggist for our new treatise on
Malaria 1t is fresh in matter and style and
contains the latest information.

The use of IOdoform or Mercurials in the
treatment of catarrh--whether in the form of
suppostories or ointments-should be avoided,
as they are both injurious and dangerous. Iod-
Oform is easily detected by its offensive odor.
The only reliable calarrh remedy in the market,
to-day is Ely's Cream Balm, being free from all
poisonous drugs. 1t has cured thousands of
chronic and acute cases. where all other RENE
dies have failed. A particle is applied into
each nostril; no pain; agreeable to use. Price
fifty cents; of druggists.

A farmer hired man to help work
the farm. One Summer day, when
labor was very scarce, the two were
moving 10 the Iield, and several larks
few up.
Look at those big cranes" said
the hired man.
"Those are not cranes; they are
only larks, +" replied the farmer, some
what surprised.
IF You don't say that they are
cranes. I'll knock of work right now, y
said the hired man.
as As the farmer could get nobody at
that time to take the hired mao .
place; he was obliged to yield to the
whim Of the menial.
Yes" said the farmer, 81 see now
that they are cranes, but they are
not big cranes; they are only half
grown cranes"
The hired man was satisfied with
this concession Some months after
warde, the hired man still being in
the employment of the farmer, the
latter said at dinner one day, as be
poured out glass of water
Here is some very fine beer"
That's no beer; that's only water, I"
replied the hired man
'sIt you don't say it is beer you
can tender your resignation, for /
don't want any offensive partisans
about the place"
The hired man knew very we'll
that be couldn't get another situation
at that time of the year. so he tasted
the water, and cheerfully indorsed
the administration, saying
"Of course it's beer. but 1t hasn't
got much body to it."
Having thus convinced the presi-
dent that be was sound on the goose
question the hired man was allowed

became bookseller, and founded what
is now and has long been one OF tho
most famous and fruitful Of English
publishing houses. Not only so. he
narrowly missed having as his partner
at starting in his now enterprise an
other young Scotchman, at this time,
in tho naval service of his country, who
is doubly remembered as the author of
almost our solitary nautical epic and
by the melancholy circumstance Of his
DEATH **1 as RFNifR#s N94
On starting as a bookseller and pub
Usher in Fleet Street, ex-Lieutenant
McMurray dropped the .'Mc, and
called himself simply Murray This
was curtailmont of surname signifi-
cant Of and duo. to the keenly anti
Scottish feeling then prevalent in Lon
don and in England. One old associ.
alton, however, of his. pre- bibliopolic
days the new John Murray OF Fleet
Street cherished so fondly that as
memorial Of his lieutenancy OF marines
and of service afioat 'sa ship in full
sail' figured in the bill-heads OF his
accounts. This founder of the pub
fishing house of Murray was an abloa
energetic, and enterprising man, though
perhaps more of a bookseller than
publisher. Traffic in the literature Of
medicine formed q large element In his
bibliopoic operations, and in old rec
ords Of the trade" there Is freuuef:f
mention of MR. Murray. tho medical
BOOKSELLER OF Fleet Street, Among
his publishing achievements was the
issue Of Langhorne's Plutarch, which
is still marketable, OF Mitford's now
almost forgotten, but t.onoe and Justly
celebrated, History of Greece, and,
still more noticeable, Of the thin octa9

world, without an authors name, the
first installment Of the Curiosities OF
Literaturc Isaac Disracli was then 4
shy. studious yonng man, and SO little
did he foresce the success of his anoDy.
nous venture that he made over TO the

inducement to risk its publication. lie

more famous son, who died Lord Bea-
consiicld, has recorded. at q public sale

ter the death of the publisher. The
thin octave was the prolific parent of
a series Of Chfiositles of literature,
which created new school Of literary
