FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC.
Men of Mark who Gather News.
Some Personal Sketches and Incidents
and Incidents of Brain Workers in
the Highest Walks of Life.

The reader of the morning paper who
sits by his coy fireside and is informed of
what is transpiring in every quarter of the
globe, seldom realizes the amount of actu-
al labor necessary TO ascertain, write, col
lect, transmit and print this wonderful
mass of news. And yet, aside from the spe-
cIal dispatches, it is largely eentered in
one office, located near the Telegraph
building in New York, and presided over
by a quiet gentleman in most mastery
manner.
MT. 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. To properly
and promptly handle the mass of matter
that passes through his hands is an enOr-
nous underta king, and one which may
well test the capacity of any man. Mr..
Smith has always been an aTduouS worker,
and it is by no means surprising that his
health should, in the past suffered more or
less thereby. The mental strain necessary
to the performance of his duties caused
difficulties of digestion which are not eaSi-
ly overcome, and also uremeic collie, both
painful and eXhauSting All attempts to
overcome these tendencies by force or will
power failed, and he consulted eminent
physicians, among them Dr. BarthOl of
Philadelphia. 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, C. w. Smith. manager of
the Chesapeake 4 Ohio Railroad, came to
visit me, and, seeing my condition, took
upon himself to conduct my case, and so
secured preparation which, have since
learned, he had used successfully himself
and in his family. l began its use, and

The above statements are not from OBJ
Scure sources, but from gentlemen in the
most exalted stations of trust and reSpOn-
sibility, and the affirmatiOns they make
are the results of actual observation. Does
it not stand to reason, therefore, that the
