A special to the Journal of Commerce, says: Secretary Gage will probably not make any announcement as to the con- It isn't much trouble 'or a really healthv man I to be gisiil humored. Jollity and eihiibrrant health are a pro verbinl combination. The hearty man who is alway laughing doesn't have any trouble with his digestion. It has been said that laughing makes people healthy. The truth is tint health makes people laugh. It i impossible to estimate the tre. tnrndous influence of hralth upon human character. A man with a headache will not be in a happy, contented fiamr of mind. A man who sii'fi rs from a vcaic stomach and an impaired digestion wjt ,t and grumble through the best meal ever prepared A bilious man who is not a bore, is deserving of a place in a miisniin A nervous man who is not petulcnt and fault finding is a curiosity. All these con ditions lead to grave diseases, when tile victim becomes not only disagreeable, but dependent as well. A wise wife will rral ize that while the old saying that a "man's heart is in his stomach," is not literally true, it is a fact thai his stomach swertens or sours his character acemding as it is healthy nr unhealthy. I)r. Pierce's ('.olden Medical discovery is the best of medicines for the conditions described. It makes the weak stomach strong, the impaired digestion perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood and tones the nerves It tears down half-dead, inert tissues and replaces them with the firm muscular tissues of health. It build, new and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells. It dissipates nervousness and melancholy and imparts mental elasticity and courage. It is tin- best of all known medicines for tervoii disorders. "Throujrh your skillful treatment I im once more a well man." writes J. N Arnold Km)., ol Candy, l.ogan Co.
