DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudoncc in cat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of tue liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the iniirmity Of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite. Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
OF physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense Of weight and fulncss In the stomach,
and increased COstivencss, all Of which arc
known under one head rs Dyspepsia.
lnoycry instance where this disease does
not originate from scrOfulOlls faint In the
blood, AYER's PILLS may he confidently
relied upon 10 effect q cure, Those cases
not amcnnblc TO the curative influence OF
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield IL
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties Of AYERS SARsAPA-
ltiILA.
Dyspcptics should know that the longer
treatment Of their malndy il postponed,
the more difficult Of cure II becomes.

Pills

Never fail TO relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
fitful activity into which the enfoeblcd
stomach Is spurred by "bittcrs," and alco-
holc stimulants, Is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.
"Costiveuess, induced by my sodentary
habits of life, became chronic; Ayers Pulls
afforded mc speedy relief Their occasional use
has since kept me all right" Hermann BLfNa.

There is an intimate relation between
the poverty of labor and the liquor traffic
In one manufacturing town (Fal River)
$l,000,0 900 Is spent annually in strong
drink, and saloons pay $65, 600 annually
for licenses. Laborers are frequently
told to spend less for liquor and they will
have more money for beef. Yet this Is
no answer. The beat men and ksenest
thinkers are puzz'ed over the present
phase of the labor problem. One set of
thinkers say give us higher puties; an
other class wants low r duties; laborers
cry for cooperation; gresnbs,kers fer
more money and less interest; other re.
formers for free land and no rent, and

English labor papers report q steady
improvement In many important trades,
among them ship-building and the ma
rins engineering trades. The coal trade
Is fairly active and the textile trades are
doing better.
In our local 1 du,trlea the manufactur-
ers of jerseys arevtry busy. Jerseycloth
Is wanted as fast q, made. Hosiery OF
all kinds Is selling rapidly and knitting
machinery is In good demand. All the
manufacturers are busy. Machinery and
stove molders are finding moro work
coming In. The BaldwiDs have mere
men on than since last fall. Two or
three large machine works are turning
out exceptionally large lAthes. Textile
machinery manufacturers are working al
one-third capacity. The boot and shoe
makers are in a general way busy.
)t was generally believed last fall that
on the opening of spring there would be
a very general resumption at probably
better wages. The Harmony mills al
Cohoes, New York, reduced wages
10 ger cent Last Monday. In
the Lawrence, Massachusetts, mills
8, 900 men have teen discharged. In the
west several agricultural works will re
main at present capacity. On the othel
