From ne Memphis appeal.

The teacher asked his class to tell him
the names OF the precious stones.
birthstone" answered one bright boy.
AS this was not one OF the precious
stones the teacher was thinking Of, the
boy was sent to the tail end Of the class.
"YOung man." said the pedagogue, ad-
dressing himself TO the next lad in Turn,
''now tell me the name of the most pre-
cious stones you know OFF,
''Grindetone," replied the boy, whose
/ father is a well-known carpenter.
The boys laughed but the teacher was
crosse, and whacked the poor fellow over
| the shoulders.
Whatever we may think Of the boy with
! the birthstone, be who thought the
gTndstOne precious was not far out of the
way. 1t is not only the looks of an arti-
Gle, but its actual worth, that makes it
valuable.
Gold Is popularity considered the best
known of the precious metals, and yet
there is a plain-looking metal which for
certain very important purposes is vastly
more precious than gold. It's money value
is only few cents a pound, while that of
gold is about SIG an ounce. That plain
looking metal is IRON.
Every medical man knows that there is
iron in the blood, and that there must be
a certain proportion of that precious
and It's owner is pale and weak and Ian
guild, and subject to the attack Of every
disease IN the catalogue. Now, how to
get II, there Is the question. Well, it was
a long, long while after medical science
discovered the existence and the need Of
iron in the blood, that chemical science
found out how to make a preparation
which would carry it into the oircula-
ton in such a way as to do good and 10 do

and much was the mischief that followed.
AT last complete success was attained,
and the preparation was produced which
is the basis OF the worlds most popular
tonic, Browns Iron Bitters."
1t Is pleasant to follow up the work of
such a beneiicent compound as this
| Browns Iron Bitters, and to see what it Is
doing in enriching the blood of the peO-
| pie, and driving out disease. With this
intent, one of our correspondents recent
ly went on a tour Of inquiry among some
of our best citizens.
He visited the store of Messrs. Berry,
Jack a. Co., on Main street, Memphis
This house is one OF the largest in the
wholesale clothing business. Mr.. W. ii.
Berry, the head Of the house, thus replied
10 an inquiry as to matter of personal
health:
"Both my wife and myself were suffer-
l ing from debility. We were run down by
the effects OF the hot weather, which in
this climate Is sometimes very prostrat-
| Ing. We found great comfort and relief
in the use Of Browns Iron Bitters. There
is something very inyigOrating In this
| preparation OF iron. 1t confers such
\ strength as l have never received from
any other tonic. | regard this Bitters as
a very superior tonic. l have heard il
very highly spoken OF among our people,
| and am glad 10 know that 10 is In as gen.
eral use as IL Is. You are at liberty 10 say
that heartily indorse it,"
From Mr.. Berry's, our correspondent
went 10 the store Of Messrs. John NJ. Hill
n Co., boot and shoe dealers, 33S Main
street, Memphis.
Two years ago" said Mr.. Hin, in an.
swer 10 an inquiry, 81 had typhoid oatar-
rhal fever, very severe attack, IL was

a tonic, which no ordinary prescriptions
seemed able to give me. Ard as you may
suppose, tried quite variety OF mix

came 90 Browns Iron Bitters, which
seemed TO possess restorative power

thing else. The FIRST bottle produced on

These are instances among the many, OF
people right here In our midst. and who
are known TO everybody. They have
found the value Of Browns Iron Btsers,
and for the good OF their ftllow-beings
have no hesitation In speaking about It.
