Heart Disease is supposed TO be pure
ly nervous disease, and yet intelligent
physicians admit that about half the
fatal cases of heart disease result from
long continued abuse of the stomach
and digestive organs, by liquor and to-
bacco, which weaken and destroy the
nervous system and produce over-excite-
ment, causing death. Vinegar Bitters
Is a sure corrective of such disorders.

be remembered that the rules OF the Commission
extend only the clerical places in the departments and
in the large postofilces and dlsricts-about
$4,000 places in all The law forbds certain partisan
procedures throughout the entire service, and the
spirit OF the law and OF the reform is against all
partisan removals and appointments IN any part of the
service But over the places outside OF the classified
service the Commission has no control"
Have there been complaints or violations OF the
rules IN appointments In the departmental"
Yes, the complaints have been loud and frequent
from outset. People often to aud claim
to know OF appointments made in open violation OF tho
rules. Commonly however, they refuse to give any
names or any clew by which the
be followed. Sometimes. however the complaints
are in good faith, and bylintelligent persons,
and In all such prompt investigation has been made by
inc Oon'sio aS & m evsby eSo ,nun t have hesn
made by a misunderstanding OF tbe requirements Due
when bis attention was called to the rrrgnlarity rho
Commission has good reason TO believe that no ihten-
tiOnal violation OF the rules has occurred.
Are the applications for examination largely In ex
OF the uoiIaldS T.
some OF the Western States, said Dr. Gregory " This
has led the Commission to discontinue the examination
OF applicants from several States whose registers
are already overcr0wded with the names OF persons
examined and found eligible To continue to examine
in such would only to create false hopes aud
overwork tue Board OF Examiners. The worst result OF
disappointed applicants and their friends Many
bitter complaints reach tho commission from
an exanlInatoa entities them TO an appointments

as II a great wrong had been done them. Tie simple
truth is that the graded highest always cert

have right TO expect appointment while better app~
