likely an Irish company from Belfast

OIden Times.
Among the superstitions of olden times
was the belief that the touch of king
was a certain cure of all diseases of the
skin.
In these practical days, we look to
nature for remedy, and let good sense
dictate instead of superstition. There is
no greater healer of all eruptions OF the
skin than Lady Poor's Ointment, which
is prepared from pure spruce gum and
other healing forest extracts.
1t is sure remedy for letter, itch, salt
rheun1, cuts, scalds, chapped hands, etc,
and improves and purifies the skin.
To those suffering with itching and
bleeding piles, it merits the highest COM
mendation, as it affords prompt relief
and heals all ulcers and ulcerating sur
faces and removes the tumors.
No one should fail to give Lady Poor's
Ointment trial. 1t is for sale by drug

A SAMSON.

Edward T. Berry has been a piano
mover in this city continuously
through the seventeen years past.
Berry is a big man standing six feet
stocking clad, and weighing 26O
pounds. He is so well proportional
as not to appear so heavy. He is a
native son, having been born forty
two years ago in Del Norte county,
near where Rouge river meets with
the sea. Del Norte was a wilderness
then, and Berry grew up sports
man and an angler, pursuits which
made him strong of limb and sound
of wind. When youth he went in
for athletics somewhat, and was the
premier wrestler of Northern Ca1ifor-
MIA until he was apprenticed to a
tanner and currier That trade did
not suit him, and he tried horse
training, profession in which his
strength first beCa me- noticeable.
leaning followed, and as one of its
most lucrative branches Berry took
up the moving of fine furniture.
His daily work is to move from fif-
teen to twenty pianos up and down
stairs, sometimes several flights.
Berry manages one enc of the piano,
while two men can barely handle the
other. The strong man also takes
the lower end in going up stairways,
often being compelled to sustain the
whole weight OF instruments of the
grand" form, which weigh between
1900 and 1900 pound. He esti-
mates his daily lifts of dead weight
to be fifty, and the weight lifted each
time to average 1000 pounds. AS
the weights must be sustained for a
length of time, the feat becomes the
more remarkable.
That so many years of service at
such tasking labor has not broken
him down Berry believes IS due to
the fact that he has ~ ways been reg
ular in his habits, sleeping long hours
and retaining from drinking. He
claims nothing for himself as to
strength, but along Kearney street
and among eXpressmen generally he
is considered the Samson of the pro-
fessiOn.
Berry had never tested his strength
to the uttermost, but thinks that
with suitable harness he might lift a
ton and half. Without such aids
he would not care to lift more than
1900 pounds, and would avoid such
a lift if posi- be San Francisco Ex-
