The Appetite
May be increased, the Digestive organs
strengthened, and the bowels regulated,
by taking Ayer's Pills. These Pills aro
purely vegetable In their composition.
They contain neither calomel nor any
other dangerous drug, and maybe taken
with perfect safety by persons of all ages.
I was a (Treat sufferer from Dvsrwnsla
and Constipation. I had no appetite,
and was constantly afflicted with Head
ache and Dizziness. I consulted our
family doctor, who prescribed for me, at
various times, without affording more
than temporary relief. I finally com
menced taking Ayer's Pills. In a short
time my digestion and appetito
IMPROVED
my bowels were regulated, and, by the
time I finished two boxes of these Pills
my tendency to headaches had disap-
eared, and I became strong and well.
arius M. Logan, Wilmington, Del.
I was troubled, for over a vcar. with
Loss of Appetito, and General Debility.
I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, and,
before finishing half a box of this medi
cine, my appetito and strength were re
stored. C. O. Clark, Daabury, Conn.
Aver's Pills aro the best medicino
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases cau3edby a disordered
Stomach and Liver. I suffered for over
threo years with Headache, Indigestion,
and Constipation. I had no appetite, and
was wean ana nervous most or me uino.
BY USINQ
three boxes of Ayer's Pills, and at tho
same time dieting myself, I was com
pletely cured. My digestive organs are
now in good order, and I am in perfect
health. P. Lockwood, Topeka, Kans.
Aver's Pills have benefited me wonder
fully. For months I suffered from Indi
gestion and Headache, was restless at
night, and had a bad taste in my mouth
every morning. After taking one box
of Ayer's Pills, all these troubles dis
appeared, my food digested well, and
my sleep was refreshing. Henry C.
Hemmenway, Rockport, Mas3.
I was cured of the Piles by the use ol
Ayer's Pills. They not only relieved mo
o! that painful disorder, but give me in
creased vigor, and restored my health.

The Democratic Convention.
San Francisco, June 1. A
morning paper prints the follow
ing, Washington special: The St.
Louis convention is expected to
be the shortest on record. No
one expects it will last more than
two days. The programme has
all been outlined, and the only
thing fpr the convention to do is
to endorse it. The chairman will
be congressman Collins, of Boston.
The chairman of the commiteo on
resolutions will be "William R.
Morrison of Illinois. The name
of the president will be presented
to the convention by Samuel
Lockwood of Buffalo, who nomi
nated him for sheriff, for governor,
and for president. There will be
four candidates presented lor the
vice-presidency; namely: Allen
G. Thurman, John C. Black, Isaak
P. Gray and Roger Q. Mills.
"William L. Scott will be chairman
of the national convention. Mr.
Scott will carry to St. Louis with
him several type-written copies of
the platform to bo adopted, which
have been prepared in consulta
tion with the president by leading
democrats here. It is not ex
pected that the platform will be
altered in auy essential fact after
its arrival in St. Louis. The plat
form is an echo of the president's
message. For the first time the
Democrats come out squarely in
favor of revision of tho tariff, re
duction of revenues, and entire re
moval of the duties from the
necessaries of life. Free wool,
cheap iron and cheap wood is the
pronunciamento. It is the Mills
bill in a few paragraphs.
When the enterprising man
gets up to the gates of eternity,
the keeper will probably ask:
"Where arc you from, and what
did you do to advance your neigh
borhood and your neighbors?
And if the candidate has done
well, he will be shown into a beau-tifurarkwbrebeair-is-Mjdor-ous
with the perpetually bloom
ing flowers, sonorous with the
songs of maidens who never get
to be over sixteen years of age,
gladdened by the music of falling
waters and singing birds, and
there all the conditions are the
quintessence of harmony. "When
the man who has not been enter
prising presents himself, he "ill
be assigned to a high hill around
which sweep the blizzards of
winter and the sirroccos of sum
mer. The vegetation will consist
of greasebush, chaparrel and cac
tus; the living thing ind creeping
things will be horned toads, coyo
tes, devil-fish, vultures and tooth
less old women. Tho water will
be alkaline; and all nature will be
a monstrosity. From that hilltop,
he must eternally look over into
paradise.
Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria

At an agricultural meeting the
other day "The Best way to Keep
Girls on the Farm" was discussed.
No conclusion was reached, but
we think a barbed wire fence six;
feet high, minus gates, surround
ing the farm would solve tho nrnh-
lem. A'boy takes his life in Ins
hands when he attempts to crawl
over or under or throueh a barbed
wire fence, and he doesn't wear a
bustle, either.

Cherry Pectoral heads the list of
remedies for diseases of the throat
and lungs.
Charles A. Spofford, Henry
Villard's secretary, denies that
there is any truth in the dispatch
from Berlin, stating that Villard
is interested in fitting out a Ger
man expedition to the south pole.
He said Villard was not in Berlin,
but at Carlsbad for his health, and
further that all his interests center
in this country. He is not inter
ested in any German undertaking,
let alone such a scheme as stated
in the dispatch.

Presidential Possibilities.
"Washington June 1. The
president will iave the news di
rect from the national democratic
convention. Arrangements are
being perfected for a special wire
connection frow the White house
to St. Louis. Col. Lamont says
the president has no preference as
to who will bojpiaced on the tick
et with him, and will be entirely
satisfied with! "the convention's
action.
It is stated tnat president Cleve
land's cabinet, Should ho be so for
tunate as to stfeceed himself, will
receive considerable recasting after
the 4th of Marph next. Secretary
"Whitney and attorney-general
Garland makejno secret of the
fact, that uporLthat date it is their
intention to retire to private life.
Both men arelawyers, and both
retire to pratice their profession.
So far as "Whitney is concerned,
this step is rendered necessary by
the condition or his health. Gar
land gives no other reason for his
retirement from the cabinet than
a surfeit of official honors. He
will open a law office at Little
Rock, Arkansas.
