Ayer's Pills. They are invaluable.
For some years I was a victim to Liver
Complaint, an consequence of which I
suffered from General Debility and Indi
gestion. A few boxes of Ayer's Pills
restored me to perfect health. "W. T.
Brightney, Henderson, V. Va,
For years I have relied more upon
Ayer's Pills than anything else, to
Regulate
my bowels. These Pills are mild in ac
tion, and do their work thoroughly. I
have used them, with good effect, in
cases of Rheumatism anu Dyspepsia.

Morris Gates, Downsvillo, N. Y.
I was attacked with Piliou3 Fever,
which was followed by Jaundice, and
was so daneerously ill that my friends
despaired of my recovery. I commenced
taking Ayer's Pills, and soon regained
my customary strength and vigor.
John 0. Pattison, Lowell, Nebraska.
Last spring I suffered greatly from a
troublesome liumor on mvside. In suite
of every effort to cure this eruption, it in
creased until the flesh became entirely
raw. l was troubled, at the same tune,
with Indigestion, and distressing pains in
The Bowels.
By the advice of a friend I began taking
Ayer's Pills. In a short time 1 was free
from pain, my food digested properly, tho
sores on my body commencea healing,
and, in less than one month, I was cured.

DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
The. Perils and Difficulties of Teach
ing Forty Tears Ago.
Not one of the teachers of the
district schools ever fancied that
discipline could be enforced with
out corporal punishment; in fatt,
the people esteemed him in pro
portion to his severity. Generally
the instrument of torture was a flat
"ruler" of hardwood, and was ap
plied to the open palm of the
hand. Some of the brutes who
handled this weapon seemed to de
light in its use and employed it on
the slightest excuse, and not in
frequently without any cause. I
have been feruled scores of times
without the consciousness of hav
ing committed any offense what
ever. The women who taught in the
summer did not use the ferrule,
but generally a switch, the offend
er often being sent out to cut the
instrument with which he was to
be punished. One feminine teach
er was an ingenious torturer, who
constantly invented novel methods
of punishment. One was to put a
closed penknife between the fin
gers of the victim, press the fingers
tight to tho handle, and then twist
the latter till the pupil howled
over the intolerable pain.
While fitting for college I taught
district schools for several winters,
and so abhorrent were the various
punishments I had suffered when
a boy that I determined never to
strike a pupil unless in absolute
self-defense. And I never did. I
taught in some pretty tough local
ities where punishments had been
the rule from time immemorial.
There is, or was, a cross-road
settlement on the Saconda river in
which was a district school that
was famous all through the region
for the barbarism and intractable
character of its scholars. 1 ap
plied for it one winter and was
laughed at by the trustees to whom
I made the application.
"Why, they throwed out tin;
teacher last winter; and that ain't
all either; they mutilated him o
that he'll be a cripple forJife."
After much parleying I suc
ceeded in getting the engagement,
it being understood on the part of
the trustees that if I lasted a week
it would be a miracle.
The pupils who presented them
selves on the opening day 're
not a choice lor. Most of them
were from the hills, and were but
little more advanced than savages
in book learning. There were
some half dozen boys as old as, or
older than, myself, and two or
three hulking chaps who were con
siderably larger than myself in
physical dimensions. They looked
me over with about the same
glance that a bull dog might a
slender terrier, but for several
days were ou their good behavior,
being of the opinion that when the
time came they would throw me
out without any trouble. It was
the case of a half dozen cats play
ing with a feeble mouse.
I soon sized up the crowd, atid
found that the leader was a sullen
brute of some 25 years of age, who
cou'd just barely spell words of
two or three letters, and could not
even write his name. He good
naturedly allowed me to order
him up to repeat his letters with
an air as if saying: "All right for
a week orso, but we'll show you
by and by," A fortnight after the
school opened he was more sullen
than usual one day, and when I
requested him to come out and
recite his letters "guessed he
didn't want to say no lesson." .
"Very well. When recess
comes you'll keep your seat and
not go out with the boys."
His ugly face took on a deeper
scowl than usual, and he glanced
around at the other big boys, with
a glance which said: "Now's the
time! We'll tackle him I" It was
a half hour before recess. Mean
while he" pulled out an immense
pocket knife, opened it, and then,
when he saw me looking toward
J him, he jabbed the blade osten
tatiously into tne aesK. rne
smaller scholars saw that a storm
was brewing and were uneasy;
the larger ones moved about and
evidently thought the crisis was at
hand.
When the hour for the recess
came I picked up a heavy iron
poker and carrying it as if it was
a cane, I opened the door and
said: "The boys may have a re
cess." As I did so I fixed ray
, eyes on the ruffian with the jack
I knife, with a genial smile on my
j lips. The other large boys hesi
tated tor an instant, an n cwpeui
iny him to make a start. He
quailed as he saw my attitude and
kept his seat. The other boys
saw the game was up and went
out; they had no leader and the
combination was broken. I never
had the slightest further trouble.
Even the brute with the jackknife
became, aftor his fashion, my
friend, and actually gave someat
tention to his" books, and by spring
could, both read and write to a
fair extent.
The people of the district pa
tiently waited to see me come
thrugh the windows in sections;
but the event never happened.
I tamed the menagerie and never
struck one of the beasts a blow.
