PLAGUE-STRICKEN PLYMOUTH I
Does a Similar Danger Threaten
JBveryone of Us V
How Public Attention it Directed to Pergonal
Perili.

"Judge," said a young lawyer to a very
successful senior, " tell me the secret of
your uniform success at the bar."
"Ah, j'oung man, that secret is a life
study, but I will give it to you on con
dition that you pay all my bills during
this session of court."
"Agreed, sir," said the junior.
"Evidence, indisputable evidence."
At the end of the month the Judge
reminded the young man f his promise.
"I recall no such promise."
"Ah, bit you made it."
"Your evidence, please."
And the judge, not having any wit
nesses, lost a case for once !
The man who can produce indis
putable evidence wins public favor. I
v had an interview yesterday with the
most successful of American adver
tisers, whose advertising is most suc
cessful because always backed by
evidence.
"Wha styles of advertising do you
use?" I asked II. II. Warner, Esq.
"Display, reading matter and para
graphs of testimonials."
"Have you many testimonials?"
In answer he showed me a large
cabinet chock-full. "We have enough
to fill Boston, New York, Chicago, St.
Louis and Philadelphia morning
papers."
"Do you publish many of them?"
"Xot a tithe. Wonderful as are thos
we do publish, we have thousands like
them which we cannot use. 'Why
net?' Let me tell you. 'Warner's safe
cure' has probably been the most suc
cessful medicine for female disorders
ever discovered. We have testimonials
from ladies of the highest rank, but it
would be indelicate to publish them.
Likewise many statesmen, lawyers,
clergj-men, doctors of world-wide fame
have "been cured, but we can only refer
to such persons in the most guarded
terms, as we do in our reading articles."
"Are these reading articles success
ful?" "When read they make such an im
pression that when the 'evil days' of ill
health draw nigh they are remembered,
and Warner's safe cure is used."
"Xo, sir, it is not necessary now, as
at first, to do such constant and exten
sive advertising. A meritorious medi
cine sells itself after its merits are
known. We present just evidence
enough to disarm skeptics and to im
press the merits of the remedies upon
new consumers. We feel it to be our
duty to do this. Hence, best to accom
plish our mission of healing the sick,
we have to use the reading-article style.
People won't read plain testamonials."
" Yes sir, thousands admit that had
they not learned of Warner's safe cure
through this clever style they would
still be ailing and still impoverishing
themselves in fees to unsuccessful
'practitioners.' It would do your soul
good to read the letters of thanksgiv
ing we get from mothers grateful for
the perfect success which attends War
ner's safe cure when used for children,
and the surprised gratification with
which men and women of older years
and impaired vigor, testify to the
youthful feelings restored to them by
the same means."
" Are these good effects permanent? "
" Of all the cases of kidney, liver uri
nary and female diseases we have cured,
not two per cent of them report a re
turn of their disorders. Who else can
show such a record? "
" What is the secret of Warner's safe
cure permanently reaching so many
serious disorders?"
"I will explain by an illustration :
The little town of Plymouth, Pa., has
been plague-stricken for several months
because its water supply was carelessly
poisoned. The kidney and liver are
the sources of physical well-being. If
polluted by disease, all the blood be
comes poisoned and every organ is
affected and this great danger threatens
every one, who neglects to treat himself
promptly. I was nearly dead myself
of extreme kidney disease, but what is
now Warner's safe cure cured me, and
I know it is the only remedy in the u orld
that can cure such disorders, for I tried
everything else in vain. Cured by it
myself, I bought it and, from a sense
of duty, presented it to the world
Only by restoring the kidneys and
liver can disease leave the blood and
system."
A celebrated sanitarian phvsician
once said to me. "The secret of the
wonderful success of Warner's safe
cure is that it is sovereign over all kid
ney, liver and urinary diseases, which
primarily or secondarily make up the
majority of human ailments. Like
all great discoveries it is remarkably
simple.
The house of II. H. Warner & Co.
stands deservedly high in Rochester,
and it is certainly matter of congratu
lation that merit has been recognized
all over the world, and that this suc
cess has been unqualifiedly deserved.

President Eliot says that, without
special extravagance or fast living in
any way, a Harvard student can easily
spend 800 a year, and some get r'.d of
much more. A calculat'on of the
average expense at twenty-five of the
principal colleges, according to the
statements of their respective catalogues
as to price of board, tuition, and gen
eral expenses, shows that it is a trifle
over .."00. An average college educa
tion, then, costs .$.r00 a year, or $2,000.
Ofeour.se, the thing can be done for
less than this. Tuition may be re
mitted by the gaining of a scholarship,
and a young man who is determined to
support himself may do so in whole or
in part by teaching and other work.

his experience in tight corners, and by
some unaccountable freak of conduct
he took his wife along with him. He
is a man of reasonable veracity, and
whenever he swears to a thing you can
put it down as coming sufficiently near
the truth to answer an orainary pur
poses. On returning home, with con
siderable more exicrience and a good
deal less money, he appeared before

to care a button-hook for anything

Time and again, he affirms, did he lift

j What Men Fall in Love With.
Men fall in love,- they say, with
beauty, with goodness, with gentleness,
with intellectual qualities, with a sweet
voice, with a smile, with an agreeablt
manner, with a lovable disposition,
with many ascertainable and measurable
things, and yet we find them continually
falling in l-ve with women who are no't
beautiful, nor good, nor wise, noi
gentle, nor possessing anv ascertainable
or measurable thing. You'll find a
hundred reasons
for falling in
love, or being in love, and rarely the
right reason which is commonly
simply because a man can not help it.
He is in love because a mysterious
force in nature has touched him. The
woman may be unbeautiful, heartless,
selfish, cruel, untrue, coarse, frivolous,
empty, but if the magic of nature
something of the magic, I suspect, that
Puck used on the eyes of Titania
touches him he sees not one of these
things in their true aspect. Yes, the
Titanias that have fallen in love with
men crowned with donkey heads, and
the men that have fallen, in love with
serpents, thinking them doves, are
many and all because of a diabolism, oi
a mystic fury in nature that delights in
bringing incongruous elements togethei
for the sake of a dance of delirium.

SMELLING AN EARTHQUAKE.
Abnormal Development of a Sea Captain's
Olfactories.
"We was anchored in the harbor o:
Manilla," sa:d a bronzed and weather
beaten sailor, as he stretched his legs
under the table and looked meditatively
at a glass of beer which had just been
placed before him. "It were in the
ship Albert, as I shipped into fur the
voyage and our old man s name was
Cole, The old man was the best I ever
see at scentin' a blow. Why, bless ye,
that nose of his were better than any
barometer that ever was made. Many
a time I've seen him a-walking up and
down the poop with the sky as hlue and
wind as fair as anything. Suddenly
he'd stop, cock up his nose and give a
sort of gnuft like, lhen he d snuu all
'rouud the compass and sing out for to
shorten sail and get ready for a blow.
And the blow came, too. The old man
used to pay he sometimes bed, but he
never made a mistake.
"Well, as I was a saving; we was
anchored in the harbor of Manilla. It
was the most Leautifullest day you ever
sd. Not enough wind to ripple tho
water, and not a cloud in the sky. The
ol-l man was ashore. Bineby he came
aboard. As he stepped over the side he
stopped and gave a great snuff. Then
he suufled harder and harder all roun
the compass. Then he looked scared
like and rushed below to look' at his
barometer. He brought the barometer
up on deck and placed it where he could
keep his eye on it, arid began to- get the
ship ready lor a typhoon, tor that was
what ho thought were a-comin. The
barometer didn't go down a bit, but that
didn t fool the old man. lie sent down
the sky sail and royal yards, bent on
purventer backstays, put double gas
kets on all tho sails cepting the fore
and main tawps'ls, and did every thing
he could think of to get the ship in
condition io: a typhoon. e overhauled
the sheets, halyards, buntlins, clewlins
and braces of the fore and main tawps'ls.

Et urn oil in about two shakes of a
lib's ia:l, fur you see we wanted to be
able to get sail on to her quick to keep
her off shore if so be as she would drag
her anchors. We put out both anchors
and all the chain we had, and It was
powerful lot I can tell you.
"Well, that night there want any
sign of a blow just as calm and pleas
ant as it had been, and there was the
old man a-walkin' up and down the
deck purty much all night a-lookin at
that barometer, which never moved an
inch. The next morning the barometer
did go down a little, and. the old man
looked actu lay pleased, fur you pc
he d rather be in the biggest blow that
ever was than ba caught at a mistake
in smellin' bad weather. Well, about
noon that day, while we were at din
ner, there come a dull rumblin sound.
and the ship began to tremble all over
like as if he had struck a rock, lhen
she began to go up, up, and we rushed
out of the foc'tle to see a great tidal
wave sweeping into tho harbor 'and on
sho e the dust and bricks and trees was
a-tlyin' round in great shape. We was
all pretty well scared, but fortunately
we had out so much chain that we rod
the wave in safety. In the midst of the
confusion I saw the old man clinging
for dear life to the liferail and heard
him shout: A earthquake, by thunder;

D A I RY PRODUCTS.
The Spiling' or Thru on Time a Wry
t'nnlie Proceeding: For the Producer.
Farm ts are wont to complain of
small profits when they get the full
market price of the'r products in hand
But a very unwise custom prevails in
many da'ry districts of selling butter
and cheese on time, or of selling
through commission houses, and the
latter is a st:ii more vicious prac-
t'ce than time sales at a stipulated
price. Why should farmers furnish
these middlemen with capital to do
business on gratuitously? It is the
merest pretense that there is
not cap'tal enough to handle
these goods for cash. The grain
crop is not purchased on credit or
sold for farmers on comm ss:on, nor is
the great commerce in live stock car
ried on in this way.
Every season brings reports of dis
tress among dairy farmers in certa:n
districts by the failure of commission
men. It is. the fault of farmers that
there are so few middlemen of any safe
capital to do business on. The ease
of obta'ning consignments has
led hundreds of men without
capital to set up as commission mer
chants, lbese merchants have noth
mg to lose, and they seem to enjoy
handling the capital intrusted to them
by these confid;ng farmers, and live on
the top shelf till the difference between
their real income and their expendi
tures brings them to the inevitable
fa'lure, involving hundreds of dairy
farmers in the loss of a large share of
the year's product of their herds. All
sorts of excuses are made for the un
fortunate commisson merchant, who
has lost i.othmg of his own except the
unmerited confluence of the deluded
da rymen. But. astonishing as it may
seem, these dairymen go right on the
next year, and furn sh capital for some
other adventurer to repeat the game.
Occasionally a shrewd and economical
bus ness man uses th:s capital intrust
ed to hm fairly, and thus succeeds in
establishing a safe bus ness. and budd
ing up a safe capital, liut this result
is rare.
All farm products are belter than an
uncertain promise to pay. Let farmers

What Consols Are.
In speaking of consols, most people
think they include the entire National
debt of England. This is a mistake,
for there is only a little more than half
a debt, strictly speaking, included
under that head. The name consols is,
as nearly every one is aware, merely a
contraction or term that has got into
use in the brief way of speaking used
on the Stock Exchange. The full
official title of the portion of the publie
debt called consols is "The consolidated

A DEEPLY XHTEEESTDTQ KABBA1TVE.
The name of Rev. John H. Chandler is
an honored one in the literature and labor
of the Baptist Church; especially In con
nection with his forty years' devotion to
missionary work in Burmah and Siam ; a
work in which his accomplished wife
shared during the whole of this long
period. For most of this time his resi
dence was at Bangkok, in Siam, the capi
tal .of the kingdom. Here he rendered
himself valuable to the king aild his court,
as translator of important documents. In
1859 he was appointed U. S. Consul at
Bangkok. He was also tutor to the pres
ent king of Siam.
One of the almost inevitable results of
missionary labor is the breaking down of
health, and neither Mr. nor Mrs. Chandler
ewaped. In 1872 their condition became
Boserious that they returned to this coun
try for medical treatment. They went
back to Siam in 1872, intending to stay for
six years, but both soon grew worse, and
had to come to the United States at the
end of three. What Mr. Chandler's con
dition was at the time is given in his own
words, as related to a gentleman who
called upon him recently at his home, in
Camden, New Jersey:
"I was a complete wreck. My lung
weakness was so great that for months at
a time I could not write or read. The
nerves of my stomach were totally demor
alized. My food would not digest. I had
to lay aside all my teaching and literary
labor. I was unable to do either physical
or mental unrk. I was also troubled with
palpitationof the heart and with an obsti
nate catarrh of ten years' standing; alto
gether I was a very, very sick man. While .
thus suffering, the Rev. Dr. MacFarland,
a Presbyterian missionary, at Bangkok,
called my attention to Compound Oxygen.
He had tried it for indigestion and general
deHlity and had found it very beneficial.
"While I was on my way home I found
myself in a very critical condition. I
almost gave up hope. On reaching Phila
delphia I consulted Drs. Starkey & Palen.
I soon began the use of Compound Oxygen.
It acted like a charm. Very soon I felt
signs oT returning strength. In the mat
ter of diabetes the relief was particularly
noticeable. Improvement went on grad
ually but surely. I became so that I could
eat with regularity and really enjoy my
food. In time my old symptoms of wretch
edness and weariness passed away and I
was myself again.
. "You may judge of my health and
strength when I tell you that I was with
the Siamese embassy in New York and
Washington a few months ago, traveling
with them and going about as freely and
energetically as any of them. Compeund
Oxygen had so recruited my system that
the unusual exercise or travel had no un
pleasant effect upon me. nor was I in any
respect the worse for my journey.

WHAT IS CATARRH 1
Catarrh is a muco purulent discharge caused by the
presence and derelopment of the vegetable parasite
amoeba in the internal lining membrane of the nose.
This parasite is only developed under favorable circum
stances, and these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the
blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ poison of syphi
lis, niercnry, toxiemea, from the retention of the effete
matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven
tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are
germinated in tne Diooa. rnese poisons Keep me internal
lining membrane of the nose in a constant state of irri
tation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds ef these
ferms, which spread up the nostrils and down the
auces or hack of throat, causing ulceration of the
throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness ; bur
rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping
the proper structure oi the bronchial tuDes, ending in
Dulmonary consumDtion and death.
Many attempts have been made to discover a cure for
this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and other
ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do
a'particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed
or removed from the mucous tissue

NOSES.
An Alleged Invention and Some of Its
Weak Point.
Some one has invented a process for
the reduction of large noses. The in
ventor was struck by the alleged fact
that noses on which spectacles are
worn are, aa a rule, small noses. He
thereupon formulated the theory that
the pressure of the spectacles on the
bridge of the nose interferes with the
free circulation of blood, and that this
interference deprives the nose of nour
ishment and prevents its growth. In
accordance with this theory he now
proposes to reduce the size of any giv
en nose by placing a metallic clamp on
the bridge. This clamp, if worn every
night, will, as he believes, reduce the
largest nose to moderate proportions
within a reasonable length of time.
There are two or three weak points
about tins alleged invention. One of
these is that the theory on which it is
founded has no support ! in fact.
Some of our most eminent noses are
those on which spectacles have
been worn for a lifetime, and
among our smallest noses are some on
which spectacles have never rested.
That spectacles of one sort and another
are worn much more generally now
than they were fifty years ago, and
that noses as a general thing have
grown smaller during the same period,
is undoubtedly true, but it does not
follow that there is any connection be
tween the two facts.
The gradual decline of the human
ose is the result of the introduction
and general use of handkerchiefs. The
Romans never used handkerchiefs, and
their noses, as we all know, were of
the largest and finest type, Moreover,
they were less liable to colds in the
head than are people of the present
time, and their noses enjoyed almost. a
inecure. As civilization spread north
ward from Italy the inhabitants of the
cold and variable climate of Northern
Europe found that their noses were
constantly called into" activity, and as
a consequence the average European
nose fell below the Roman standard.
Within modern times the handkerchief
was invented, and a new and potent
factor in the reduction of noses thus
came into existence. Constant friction
will wear away the hardest stone, much
more the soft and cartilaginous nose.
Under the friction of handkerchiefs the
noses of the pre' nt centurv have
steadily diminished, until small noses
are worn almost as much as spectacles.
It is a question whether it is desira
ble ever to reduce the size of a nose.
Greatness of intellect has : in all ages
been closely allied ta greatness of nose,
and the man who, having been gifted
by nature, with a nose of true nobility,
should desire to dwarf it and his intel
lect at the same time, would deserve
no assistance in his foolish purpose.

A Dangerous Case.
Rochester. June 1, 1882. "Ten
Years ao I was attacked with the most
Intense and deadly pains in my back and
KIDNEY.
"Extending to the end of my toes and
to my brain 1
"Which made me delirious 1
"From agony,
ft" It took three men to hold me on my
bed at times!
"The Doctors tried in vain to relieve
me, but to no purpose.
Morphine ana other opiates
"Had no effect!
"After two months I was given up to
die!
"When my wife
heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters
had done for her, she at once got and gave
me some. The first dose eased my brain
and seemed to go hunting through my sys
tem for the pain.
The second dose eased me so much that I
slept two hours, something that I had nt done
for two months. Before I had used live bottles.
I was well and at work as bard as any man
could, for over three weeks; but I worked too
hard for my strength, and taking: a hard cold, I
was taken with the most acute and painful
rheumatism all through my system that ever
was known.
"I called the doctors again and after several
weeks, they left me a cripple on crutches for
life, as they said. I met a friend and told him
my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured him
and would cure me. I poohed at him. but he
was so earnest I was induced to use them again.
In less than four weeks I threw away my
crutches and went to work lightly and kept on
using the bitters for five weeks, until I became
as well as any man living, and have been so for
six years since.
It has also cured my wife, who had been
sick for years; and has kept her and mv
children well and healthy with from two
to threebottles yer year. There l no need
to be sick at all if these bitters are used.
