The reader of the morning paper who
sits by his cosy fireside and is informed
OF what is Transporting in every quarter of
the globe, seldom realizes the amount of
actual labor necessary to ascertain, col
lect, write, transmit, and print this won
derful mass OF news. And yet, aside from
the special dispatches, it is largely CEN
tered in one Office, located near the Tele-
graph building in New ork, and presided
over by aquiet gentleman in most mas
terly manner.
Mr.. William Henry Smith, manager
of the Associated Press, is in the prime
of life, and possesses a mind clear as to
the requirements of the public. Toprop-
erly and promptly handle the mass Of
matter that passes through his hands is
an enormous undertaking, and one which
may well test the capacity Of any man.
Mr.. Smith has always been an arduous
worker, and it is by no means surprising
that his health should, in the past, have
suffered more or less thereby. The
mental strain necessary to the perform
ance of his duties caused difficulties of
digestion which are not easily overcome,
and also uremic collie, both painful and
exhausting. All attempts to overcome
these tendencies by force of will power
failed, and he consulted eminent physi-
clans, among them DIR. Barthol of Phila-
delphia. In spite, however, of the care
and skill of these practitioners, he grew
worse constantly. The result can best
be described in his own words. He said:
'My brother, G. w. Smith, manager
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad,
came to visit me, and seeing my condi-
ton, took upon himself to conduct my
case, aid so secured preparation which,
/ have since learned, he had used sue
cessfully himself and in his family. I
began its use, and commenced improv-
ing at once. This improvement con-
tinued, until now am well, and wholly
through the influence OF Warmers Safe
Cure. l have since then used the remedy
with good results in my family, and keep
it on hand constantly. l consider it a
remarkable medicine"
Mr.. George Alfred Townsend, the fam
Gus newspaper correspondent, whose
letters, written over the nom de plume
of Gath" have attracted such wide at
tention, said to the writer: "While in
England I had pleasant visit with ex-
Gov. S. B. Packard, our Consul at Liver
pool. We were remarking on the death
of number of distinguished Americans,
when the Governor said: Townsend, /
can't see why so many of our public men
are passing away, victims Of one dread
} scourge. There is no need of their dying
if they will consent to avail themselves
of what has been provided for them, as
have Gov. Packard went on to de,
scribe his experience, and l found his
symptoms corresponded almost exactly
to my own. soon afterward returned
to America, began the same treatment

The above statements are not iron

! the most exalted stations of trust ant
: responsibility, and the affirmations thev
make are the results OF actual observa
