The First Sign
Of "ailing health, whether in the form oi
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss oi
Appetite, should suggest tlio use oi
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to tha enfeebled system, pro.
rcoting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, Tnt
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friend3 recommended me to try Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, which I did, and I am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn.
I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, hi my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, and must say that I honestly
bclievo it to be tho best blood medicino
ever compounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D.,
D. D. S., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would bo impossible for me to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
tho care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla
for a short time, my headache disap-
S "cared, and my stomach performed its
uties more perfectly. To-doy my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu
lates the action of tho digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.

HOW TO KILL A TOWN.
Pose as a philosopher. Find
the soft side of a dry-goods box
and sit and look wise and criticise
every effort of energetic public
spirited citizens for the promotion
of the general good; impugn their
motives, claim war. a -swinuie is
contemplated by the promoters, or
tnat tne enterprise is luiuruuuuaum
and sure to fail. People will then
thick that you are a man of deep
penetration, and should there hap
nen to be a failure, be sure to say
"I told you so:" but should a grand
success be the result, your propne-
sies will be forgotten in the general
rejoicings, so that your reputation
as a prophet win not suuer.
When a stranger comes to town
and proposes to establish a manu
factory of some kind, as soon as
you hear of it slip around quietly
and whisper in the ears 01 tnose
who may listen to you that the
party is a fraud, that he has no
money of his own, that he con
templates a swindle on the people,
and, being a wise man, that it is
your duty to warn against ap
proaching danger. But should
some of the wide-awake citizens
see the benefits to be derived by
encouraging the enterprise, and
start a movement in that direction,
then kick, kick vigorously, and as
like attracts like, you may soon
surround yourself with a whole
army of kickers, and be instru
mental in creating and crystalizing
a sentiment strong enough to
choke tho life out of the enterprise,
and thereby drivotho stranger to a
more public-spirited locality.
Should you be remonstrated with
on your opposition to public enter
prises, and your attention called
to tho rapid advancement of othei
towns no better situated naturally
than your own, reply that there is
nothing there to build up a town;
that there is nothing substantial
about it; that the town is forced
up by artifical means, and that a
reaction will soon take place.
'Tis true that by so doing you
make an assertion that only the
future cau disprove if ever, and so,
from your standpoint, you are in
possession oi the field. Should a
number of your citizens unite in
an effort to develop the natural
resources of your locality, be on
hand with a fund of advice as t
how the company should be in n
aged. It is true you may hav- n
paucity of ideas on the subject,
but give them a redundancy of
words,an article tho kicker always
has on hand. Be very careful jiot
to take stock in the enterprise,
then people will think that all your
suggestions are purely disin
terested. After the enterprise is
on its feet begin to find fault with
the managers; should an mistakes
occur, magnify them, darkly hint
to the smaller stockholders that
the big fish will soon eat up the
little ones, that the whole thing
is a fraud badly managed and
run by a few in their own private
interests. You may know nothing
of the truth of what you say, but
that makes no difference, just ham
mer away at your assertions
and in time you may have
the satisfaclio of seeing .your opin
ions crystalizing into facts in lite
minds of your hearers. By persist
ently pursuing- this course you
may succeed in crippling, if not
destroying, an' enterprise that
would have been of incalculable
benefit to j'our town. The kicker
may be in good circumstances aud
and perfectly satisfied with things
as thoy are, may be apprehensive
should a boom strike the town of
having a too strong competition to
contend with, fir the "town may be
as big a one as he wants to live in,
or he may ieel that a little more
tax will lessen tho value of his
property, failing entirely of seeing
that public prosperity, or he may
have none or little pecuniary in
terest in the town, and only kicks
for the pleasure that it gives him.
But whatever his motives may be,
by following suggestions " aud
many others that may occur to
him, and persistently find fault
with everything said or done for
tho public good, find fault with the
churches, the preacher?, lawyers,
doctors, schools', courts, business
men, city government, newspapers,
water works, gas company, manu-
factories, ami m tact everything
connected with the town, and 1,1
and his co-workers will soon have
the pleasure of seeing the natrual
result of their.labors.
Another way td kill a town is
lo sympathize and co-operate with
those who, having no interest at
stake and nothing to lose, are do
ing all in their power to stir up
strife, create dissention, breed dis
cord and engender factional bitter
nesses, whieh tend to distroy the
peace and prosperity of the community.
An Assurance of Health.
Among the assurances of health afforded
us by,the regular discharge of the bodily
functions, none Is more Important and reli
able than that which regularity of the bowels
gives us. If there Is any even a temporary
Interruption of this the liver and the stom
ach suffer conjointly with inactive organs,
and still greater mischief ensues If relief Is
not speedily obtained. A laxative, above all
cavil on the score of mineral composition or
violent effect, is llostetter's Stomach Bitters
approved by the medical profession and a
most Important Item of the family materia
medica of American households. It is bo
tanic, painless In action, and If persisted in,
effectual. The stomach and liver, In no less
degree and no less promptly and thorouzhly
than the bowels, are regulated and toned by
It, and It is an admirable delense against ma
larial and rheumatic ailments, and a benign
remedy for kidney complaints, nervousness
and debility.
John Searles Jr., who performs
the duties of the secretary to the
sugar trust at a salary of $25,000

number of other gentlemen inter
ested in sugar, and they are be
ginning to lobby for tho Mills bill.
They fear that sugar may be put
on the free list in an exposition

No other preparation so meets
the wants of a debilitated system
