We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon. N. Y.
These good people have been STUDY
ing the subject Of digestion for more
than a hundred years, and that they
understand it pretty thoroughly, is
evidenced in the foregoing fact.
Their Digestive Cordial is the safest
and best remedy in cases of indiges-
ton that we know of. A trial bot
tie can be had through your drug
gists for the trifling sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already
digeste.l, and at the same time aids
the digestion of other foods. 1t will
almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no
sufferer needs to be told what these
are.

The aggregate number of copies

liors. No idea Of what this means
can be conveyed by the bald state
ment, and comparison AID illustra-
ton must be resorted to. These
papers. if spread out upon the
ground, would cover lO.45O square
miles, or an area ten times as large
as the state of Rhode Island. If
piled one upon another. allowing
one-hundred papers to make only
one inch in thickness, the height
would be almost nineteen hundred
miles. If a man were to handle one
copy each second, working ten hours

at a crush" in London amongst Il
great mass of people, including several

corner, but presently, feeling a little
faint, ana observing refreshments in
the distance, he turned to an elderly
parsonage standing near, who he sup
posed to he a butler or something of
that kind, and asked for a harmless
beverage. The supposed servant
brought this with great hlacrity. and
remarked, II am glad to meet you, Dr..
Holmes" The Autocrat of the Break
fast Table was little taken back. and
the stranger added, II am Prince Chris

to the joke, Il have not had much ac-
