Dyspepsia

and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER. a practical chemist, of
Roxbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"A friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, / was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before / had finished the second box, /
began to experience relief. I continued
taking them, at intervals. until had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it TO say,
that am now a well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which outstrips
mine"
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause OF most of
those distressing headaches, to which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet "A. Marble, OF Poughkeep-
sic, n Y, writes that for years she was
a martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than tenn
porary relief, until she began takirg
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment Of perfect health.

Tiny Pipes fO,' WOEen.

Tho question, do nice women smoke,
brings up very pretty implement with
which they may smoke if they 50 choose.
The latest novelty exhibited in Broad
way jewelry store is tiny pipe that
only woman could carry to her lips.
Its stem is trihe shorter and smaller
in diameter than the average meer-
schaum, and is made of gold, set with
garnets, moonstones and EN- eralds. The
mouthpicce is of yellow and pink-v, incl
ONYX, and the bowl, which might hold
half thimbleful, is heavily set with
small gems. The toy is worth some
thing like 800, and at n eilt-edged fine
affair, when cigars are brought in with
the cofft g, if lady chooses to remain
a. the 81 s. of dinner, it may make a
prett;er combination than beauty and
the cigarette. The jeweler says thai
the first pipe of this sort was made to
Crd for woman of some soci | posi-
ton, an | that he has had four or five
calls for them since. The talk of ladies
smoking is much exaggerated, how
ever. There are numbers of Cubans and
Splniards and some French women of
beauty and position who buy cigarettes
in person, smoke them at dinners, and
offer them to their friends in their bou.

foreign custom, which does not strike
