American Depurating Bath

viii be found superior 10 anything ever Of
| fered for the cure of all diseases of the blood,

| AS a remedy in dropsy 1t is unequaled in eff

other agents known to science, and diseases OF

A woman writes to The Philadelphia Press
from Long Branch: "One of the saddest
sights in the world next to real poverty or
distress is the sight of a man who has ac-
quired boundless wealth and lost his hap
piness and his capacity to enjoy what money
secures. Such cases are by no means rare
They are very common. | saw a man today
whose income is believed to be about 81 900 a
week, whose whole day was spoiled because a
cabman ovecharged him 81 for a short ride
OF course the millionaire knew that he could
not possibly spend his income, but, neverthe
less, the idea of losing a dollar, or being de-
frauded out of it, of getting nothing in return
for it, was almost agony to him. Many a
man in making a great fortune completely
loses the power Of enjoying it. This is one of
the worlds compensations The happiness Of
a sound sleep and good digestion is often en-
joyed by a man with an empty purse, while
the millionaire epicure has neither painless
digestion by day nor healthy rest by night"

notes to different parties. Judgments were
entered on all these notes on the day of the

This is the season when, il even, bargains
can be had in all lines Of dry goods for sum-
mer use. "Sales" are numerous, of course;
but one running through an entire house,
covering every line of goods in the least to
be classed as Summer stock" is not so
usual
Yet this is the character Of the sale begun
today at II. J. Gillen's. 1t includes not only
all summer dress goods, white goods and
special dress fabrics for this season, but also
silks and all dress goods that can possibly be
classed as summer lines. The sale also
includes notions, boots and shoes,-in fact,
goods in all the departments of the house.
The sale will be started on basis to close
out the entire summer lines in the coming 80
days; and as the semi,annual invoice is also
at hand, a further inducement is created to
reduce stock to the lowest possible figure.
In substantial bargains, in desirable goods
-sessonable goods-goods useful for months
to come, this sale, it is believed, offers at
fractions to buyers that cannot be duplicated
in this county; for the stock is still complete
in every way; and the sale will therefore be
not one of the flag ends" Of broken lines,
but of complete stock of goods in which
there is room for choice of goods and not a
selection from the remnants of sold-out
lines.
All invited to call and make examination
of the stock
