Many so-called remedies are pressed on the public attention on account of their claimed large sales. But sales cannot determine values. Sales simply argue good salesmen, shrewd puffery, or enormous advertis ing. It's cures that count. It is cures that are counted on by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Its sales might be boasted. It has the world for its market. But sales prove nothing. We point only to the record of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, as proof of its merit: 50 YEARS OF CURES. father some time ago and has de pended on the charity of the county for many months.

There were some diamond jewels in one of the rooms kept with the missing jewelry but these were not molested.

"The fearful loss did not crush spir its, however, and committees were im mediately appointed to look after the interest of the citizens," says the Shipping- and Commercial List of April i:t, recalling- the fire which cost New York twenty-fire million dollars in 1S35. "One committee was to make application to conjrress for an extension of credit on duty bonds, and for a remission of du ties; another to moke application to the city and state governments; and an other on relief to those injured, and several others for other purposes. The business men were not cast down. Many had lost all they possessed, but were ready to begin again. Within a year a multitude of warehouses and shops had been erected and the hum of industry was to be noted everywhere. Real estate was high. Many lots when sold brought more money without build ings that they could hnvo been sold for before the fire with buildings. The enormous rents demanded for dry goods store in Pearl street caused the mer chants to leave that thoroughfare and go into other streets.1 Soon they emerged, separately, but clinched a.s soon as they were on the rofk. and the fltfht waged .- sharper thr.i ever. IJoth minks squealed al most continuously as they snapped and scratched at each other. Turee times they pitched from the sloping rock into the water and crawied out to renew the fight ashore, bet after another such dip only one came up. The other had evidently tired of the figbt and sneaked away under water. The victor crept upon the rock and, not seeing his adversary, bcan to strut and fro as if much pleased with himself. Suddenly he caught sight of Pickering's striped blazer and fled into the bushes. Xatcbal gas is reported to have been discovered in the bed of the Rio Plata, near Huonos Ayres.
