MATTE MATHER.

In none of his papers upon "This
Country of ours" has Mr.. Harrison
delivered himself with such vehemence
and emphasis as he has in the one in
the March Ladies' Home Journal, "The
Presidents Duties" Besides commend
ing one of Mr.. Cleveland's acts, and
censuring Ambassadors for making
political speeches, he talks of Presiden.
tial appointments in most feeling and
pathetic way. Upon the latter theme,
in giving endorsement to Civil Service
Reform, he says: SIN spite of all the Diff
ficulties that beset the question of re.
movals and appointments it must be
conceded that much progress in the
direction of a betterment of the service
has been made. The Civil Service Ru les
have removed large number of minor
Offices in the Departments at Washing.
ton, and in the postal and other services,
from the scramble oi politics, and have
given the President, the Cabinet officers
and the Members of Congress great re.
lief; but it still remains true that in the
power of appointment to Office the
President finds the most exacting, un.
relenting and distracting of his duties.
In the nature of things he begins to
make enemies from tho start, and has
no way of escape-it is fate; and to a
sensitive man involves much distress OF
mind. His only support is in the good
opinion Of those who chiefly care that
the public business shall be well done,
and are not disturbed by the considera.
tion whether this man or that man il
doing it; but he hears very little direct.
ly from this class. No President can
conduct successful administration
without the support Of Congress, and
this matter Of appointments, do what
he will, often weakens that support. II
10 for him always sort OF compremiss
between his ideal and the best attain
able thing"

It appears that in olden times the
president used to give his dinner par
ties at o'clock in the afternoon. The
grandfather Of Representative Acheson
Of Pennsylvania once dined with George
Washington, and his family have pre-
served the invitation. 1t is written in Q
business hand on fourth page Of q
sheet of ordinary note paper, with the
lines running lengthwise across the
sheet, and reads as follows:
Mr.. Acheson is requested to dine with the
president on Thursday, the 2sd inst, at I

A BOSTON LAWYER.
What Mr.. John p. Wyman Says Of
Puritana.

The duties of his law practice mako
Mr. Johu p. Wyman an exceedingly busy
man, and yet, when asked by an ac-
quaintance what he knew about Puritana,
he took time briefly TO recount his ex.
perience. Mr. Wyman writes:
81 have long been subject TO severe
headaches and to other symptoms which
seemed to indicate nervous affection OF
the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred
to me that there might be virtue in
Puritana, which was informed was tho
formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby Of Darth-
mouth College. AS it gave evidence OF
being thoroughly good preparation, and
as there was chance that it might bring
me the relief which earnestly desired, /
tried il to the extent of several bottles.
81 am not enough of medical man
technically TO diagnose my own case, or
absolutely TO measure the benefit derived
from the use of Puritana, but know, as
a fact, that after had been using Prsi-
tana, had better appetite, better
nights sleep, and, practically, freedom
from headaches, which had previously
caused me much suffering.
"The result is that feel sure the credit
can fairly be given TO Puritana, and,
while am not licensed to prescribe any
medicine, am willing, on the basis of my
own experience, to express the opinion
that Puritana is an important remedy for
troubles of the stomach and nerves"

A long season of hot weather has used
up the strength and pulled down the
flesh of many people. Their stomachs
have become week and flaccid.
This is noticed especially in the case of
children whose digestions seem TO be par
alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is
also true of grown people, who are sur
prsed that the cool days of approaching
fall make them feel worse, instead of
better. They have increased appetites
perhaps, but their enervated digestive
organs are unable to properly assimilate
their food.
The time is coming for cold nights and
that is needed for the proper protection
of the vital organs in the early morning
becomes burdensome in the middle of the
day 1t Is the season of drafts and sud
den changes, which find the system but
poorly prepared to stand such strains.
Many deaths will result in this season,
but the chief effect will be in the general
loss of public health until the people in
the community have been enabled to adj
just themselves to the new climatic con-
dltions.
All doctors agree that great care Is
needed both in food and clothing. I'm
necessary exposure should be avoided, and
especially should the stomach be given
every possible assistance in its important
functions If the stomach is toned up
and invgorated, If the liver and kidneys
are kept in good working order, the
whole machinery of life is given strength
and renewed energy. The stomach is the
power producer of the human body, and
02 per cent. of all sickness comes from its
failure to do its proper work.
Physicians, chemists and practical
druggists who have administered and in
vestigated Puritana, the prize-formula Of
DIR. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College,
have publicly and privately stated that it
is the one safe and effective stomach rem
