The Appeiite
May be increased, the Digestive, organs
strengthened, and the bowels regulated,
by taking Ayer's Pills. These Pills arc.
purely vegetable in their composition.
They contain neither calomel nor any
other dangerous drug, and may be taken
with perfect safety by persons of aU ages.
I was a great sufferer from Dyspepsia
and Constipation. I liad 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
peared, and I became strong and well.
Darius M. Logan, Wilmington, Del.
I was troubled, for over a year, with
Loss of Appetite, and General Debility.
I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, and,
before linishinc half a box of this medi
cine, my appetito and strength were re
stored. C. O. Clark, Danbury, Conn.
Ayer's Pills aro tho best medicino
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a disordered
Stomach and Liver. I suffered for over
three years with Headache, Indigestion,
and Constipation. I had no appetite, and
vt as weak and nervous most of the time.
BY USING
three boxes of Ayer's Pills, and at the
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.
Ayer's Pills have benefited me wonder
fully. For months I suffered from Indi
gestion and Headache, wa3 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.
xiemmenway, uocKport, jiiass.
I was cured of the Piles bv the use of
Ayer's Pills. They not only relieved mo
of that painful disorder, but give me in
creased vigf r, and restored my health.

WINE TO OEDEE.
How an English Landlord Satisfied His
Guests.
London Table.
In Poole's tales the reader gets
an insight into how wines are made
at some hotels.
The author, meeting a stranger
in a country churchyard, recog
nizes Burley, the former landlord
of an inn he used to frequent near
Cambridge, now, it appears, re tired
to enjoy the fruits of his indus
try. Falling into a confidential
discourse about the way in which
this worthy conducted his busi
ness, the author receives from him
a most luminous and satisfactory
account of his wines.
"You can't deny it, your wines
were detestable port, Maderia,
claret, champagne "
"There, now, sir; to prove how
much gentlemen may be mistaken,
I assure you, sir, as I'm an honest
man, I never had but two sorts of
wine in my cellar port and
si erry."
"How? when I myself have
tried your claret, your "
"Yes sir, my claret, sir. Gen
tlemen who pay their money, sir,
have a right to be served with
whatever they may please to order
sir. I never would have any wines
in tny house, sir, but port and
sherry. But to explain the thing
at once, sir. This was my plan,
sir. If any one ordered Maderia:
From one bottle of sherry take
two glasses of wine, which re
place by two glasses of brandy,
and add thereto a slight squeeze
of lemon, and this I found to give
general satisfaction. As to the
pale anu Drown snerry, sir, a
couple of tjlasses of nice, pure
water, in place of the same quan
tity of wine, made what I used to
call my delicate pale (by-the-by,
a squeeze of lemon added to that
made a very fair Bucellas), and for
my old brown sherry, a Iettle
brown sugar was the thing. It
looked very much like sherry that
had been twice to the East Indies
sir, and, indeed, to ray customers,
who were very particular about
their wines, I used to serve it as
such."
'But my port was the wine
which gave me the most trouble.
One gentleman would say, 'Bur
ley, I don't like this wine; it is
too heavy!' 'Is it, sir? I think 1
can find you a lighter.' Out went
a glass of wine and in went a glass
of water. ' Well, sir,' I'd say, 'how
do you approve of that?' 'Why
um no; I can't say ' 'I un
derstand, sir: you like an older
wine softer. I think I can please
you, sir.' Pump again, sir. 'Now,
sir,' says I, (wiping the decanter
with a napkin and triumphantly
holding it up to the light,) 'try
this, if you please.' 'That's it,
Burley that's the very wine,
bring another bottle of the same.'
But one can't please every body
the same way, sir. Some gentle
men would complain of my port
as being poor without body. In
went one glass of brandy. If that
didn't answer. 'Aye, gentlemen,
says I, 'I know what will please
you; you like a fuller-bodied,
rougher wine.' Out went two
glasses of wine, and in went two
or three glasses of brandy. This
used to be a very favorite wine."
"And your claret?"
"My good wholesome port again,
sir. Three wines out, three waters
in, one pinch of tartaric acid, two
ditto orris powder, for a fuller
claret, a little brandy; for a lighter
claret, more water."
"But how do you contrive about
Burgundy?"
"That was my claret, sir, with
from three to six drops of berga
mot, according as gentlemen liked
a full flavor or a delicate flavor.
As for champagne, sir, that I
make myself, of course."
"How do you mean 'of course"
Burley?"
"Ob, sir," he said, with an inno
cent, yet waggish look, "surely
everybody makes his own cham
pagne, else what can become of
all the gooseberries?"
Ladies will find relief from lieadaclie,
costiveness, swimming in the head,

despondency by taking Simmons Liver

Peters, the colored pugilist, took
a little trip into the country last
month for a vacation, and, as has
oftcned happened to white men
under the same circumstances, he
got dead broke ififty miles from
home and starred back by the
king's highway. One day, when
he had reached the thirtieth mile
post west of Detroit, he met a
wagon load of people going to a
picnic. There was a smart Aleck
on the wagon, and he ordered a
halt and said:
"I've got to lick this nigger or
we won't catch any fish to-day."
Several of the people protested
and argued, but the young man
was bound to show off, and he
jumped down, pulled off his coat
and replied:
"Nigger, can you fight?"
"No, sah," replied Peters, as he
backed away.
"I'm sorry for you, but I've got
to do it. I'll be as easy as I can,
though."
He put up his dukes and made
a rush. Then the heavens and the
earth seemed to come together,
and all the powder mills in the
country exploded at once.
"You've killed him!" shouted
the occupants of the wagon in a
chorus.
"No, I hevcni. I jist

opened his eyes after a bit, sat up,
rubbed his jaw, and then suddenly
dashed for the wagon and climbed
in.
"How about de fish, sah?" asked
Peters, as the wagon was about to
go on.
"Fish! fish!" shouted Aleck, :ib
he got a fresh brace on his jaw.
