A ragged tramp, unknown ;
His face upturned in mute despair.
His helpless arms out-thrown.
The lark above him sang his song

The breeze blew fresh and sweet, and ltli'fld
His hair in wanton play.

They found no claw to home or name.
But tied with ribbon bluo

They found a package, and it hold
A baby’s tiny shoe.

Half worn and old, a button 011',
It seemed a sacred thing;

With reverence they wrapped it close,
And tied the faded string,

And laid it on the peaceful breast
That kept the secret well ;

And God will know and understand
The story it will tell

Of happy times and peaceful home
That dead tramp sometime knew.

Whose only relic left him was
That tiny baby’s shoe.

 

The Gentleman on the Left.

“The gentleman on the left, Kitty.
Do you know him ? He has looked fre-
quently toward you."

“‘ Has he i"

" Who is it i"

“I_ cannot tell. I have not seen him."

" Suppose you look ?"

“I prefer not. I came to see the play.
Is not Helen Faucit superb ?"

“ So, so. I wish you would tell me
who the gentleman is. I am sure he
knows you and he is very handsome."

“At present the stage interests me.
Beside, if men are rude enough to stare
at strangers, there is no occasion for us
to imitate them. ”

“Your ladyship has no curiosity."

"Not any. I have exhausted it some
time ago, "

Her ladyship was not telling the truth;
she waa‘intensely curious, but it pleased
her at the time to pique the HonOrable
Selina Dorset. That strange sympathy
which make us instantly conscious of a.
familiar glance, even in a crowded build?
ing, had solicited her regard just us So-
lina advised her of it. If she had not
been asked to look toward her left she
would probably have done so : as it was
she avoided any movement in that di-
rection. ~

The play was finished in a tumult of
applause.

Lady Kate Talbot forgot everything in
her excitement, and as she stood up
flushed and trembling, she inadvertently
turned toward the left. Instantly she
recognized a presence with which she
ought to have been familiar enough. '

The gentleman. bowed with extreme
respect. Lady Talbot acknowledged the
courtesy in a manner too full of astonish-
ment to be altogether gracious, and the
elaborate politeness of the recognition
was not softened by any glance implying
a more tender intimacy than that of a
mere acquaintance.

My lady was silent all the way home,
and for some reason' Selina was not dis-
posed to interrupt her reverie. It did
not seem to be an unpleasant one.

Kate‘s face had a bright flash on it,
and her eyes held in them a new ligh t—a
light that resembled what Selina would
have called hope and love, if my lady
had not been already married, and her

- destiny apparently settled.

“ Selina, when you have got rid of that
satin and lace, come to my room. I have
something to say to you. ”

Selina nodded pleasantly. She was
sureit concerned the gentleman on the
left. She had no love affairs of her own
on hand at present, and being neither
literary nor charitable, her time went
rather heavily onward.

A little bit of romance—nothing wrong,
of course, but just a little bit of romance,
especially if connected with the cold and
proper Lady Talbot—would be interest-
mg.

. She was speedily unrobed, and with
her long black hair hanging loosely over
her pretty dressing gown, she sought my
lady's room.

Lady Talbot sat in a dreamlike still-
ness, looking into the bright blaze on the
hearth. She scarcely stirred as Selina
took a large chair beside her, and scarce-
ly smiled when she lifted one of her
loosened curls and said,—

"What exquisite hair you have, Kitty.
True golden."

“Yes. it is beautiful. Of course, I
know that." .

“ Pray, of what are you drinking so in-

 

tently?"

"Of the gentleman on our left to-
night.”

"Ah! Whocanhebet He seems to

know you, Kitty."

“He ought to know me much better
than he does. He is my husband, Lord
Ricth Talbo "

“Kitty.”

“It is true.”

“I thought he was in Africa or Asia or
somewhere else at the end of the world."

“ He is now in England. it seems. I
suppose he has just arrived. I have not
seen him before.” '

" Where is be staying, thou-fig
i‘ “I suppose in the leftg‘i'lhg of this
mansion. I notice there'a're mere lights
there than usual tO-niglfhif'v.His apart-
ments are then." - - 4

“Now, Kitty, do tell‘iiié all, dear. You
know I love a romantic lbveafi'air, and I
am sure this is one."

“You were never more mistaken, Se-
lina. There isno love at all in the affair.
That is the secret of the whole position.
I thought as you were staying here this
week. and might see or meet my lord.
it was better to make all clear to you.
People are so apt to associate wrong with
what they do not understand. "

"To be sure, dear. I suppose Lord
Richard and you have had a little dis-
agreement. Now, if I could only do
something for a reconciliation, I should
be so happy, you know."

"No, Selina, there has been no quar-
rel, and you can do nothing at all be-
tween us. I don't want you to try. Just
be kind enough to ignore the whole cir-
cumstance. Lord Richard and I under-
stood emh other nearly four years ago. "

“ When were you marridd 1’"

"Just four years ago yesterday.”

"And my lord has been away—"

" Three years, eig ht months and eigh-
teen days. " -

“Well, this is a most extraordinary
thing, and very, sad I may say. "

“It might easily have been much sad-
der. I am going to tell you the exact
truth, and I rely upon your honor tokeep
the secret inviolable. "

"My dear, I Would not name it for
worlds." .

“Listen. then. One night, when I
was scarcely seventeen years old, my
father sent for me to come to his study.
I had known for months that he was dy-
ing. He was the only creature I had to
love, and I loved him very tenderly. I
must add also, for it partially explains
my conduct, that the idea of disobeying
him in anything had never presented it-
self to me as a possibility. That night I
found with him his life-long friend, the
late Lord Talbot. and, also, the present
lord, my husband. I was a shy, shrink-
ing girl, without any knowledge of dress
or society, and very timid and embar-

' teased in my manners. Then my father
told me' that it was necessary for the

friends in our private chapel at seven
o’clock in the morning a week afterward
Of course, these things were told to me
in a very gentle and considerate manner,
and my dear father, with many loving
kisses, begged me as a last favor to him
to make no objections. ”

“And what did Lord Richard say i"

“ I glanced up at him. He stood near
a window looking out over the park, and
when he felt my glance be colored deep-
ly and bowed. Lord Talbot said,—

“ ‘ Richard, Miss Kitty is waiting for
you to speak to her.‘

"Then Lord Richard turned toward
me and said something, but in such a low
voice thatI did not catch its meaning:

“ ‘ My son says you .do him a great
honor and pleasure,’~ explained Lord Tal-
bot, and he kissed me and led me forward
to the unwilling bridegroom.

“ Of course, I should have hated him,
Selina, but I did not. On the contrary,
I fell desperately in love with him. Per.
haps it would have been better for me if
I had not. Richard read my heart in my
face, and despised its conquest. As for
me, I suffered in that week all the tortur-
ing suspense of a timid school-girl in
love. I dressed myself in the best of my
plain, unbecoming childish toilets, and
watched wearily every day for a visit
from my promised husband; but I saw
no more of him until our wedding morn-
ing. By this time some very rich cloth-
ing had arrived for me, and also 9. Lon-
don maid, and I think, even then, my
appearance was fair enough to have some-
what conciliated Richard Talbot. But
he scarcely seemed to notice me.

“ The ceremony was scrupulously and
coldly performed, my father and gover-
ncss being present on my side, and on
Richard's side was his father and his
three maiden sisters. I never saw my

' father alive again; he died the following

week, and the mockery of our wedding
festivities at Talbot Castle was suspended
at once in deference to my grief.

“Then we came to London, and my
lord selected for his own use the left
wing of this house, and placed. at my dis-
posal all the remaining apartments. I
considered this an intimation that I was
not expected to intrude upon his quar-
ters, and I scrupulously avoided every
approach to them. I knew from the
first that all attempts to win him would
be useless. and. indeed, I felt too humil-
iated to try. During the few weeks that
we remained under the same roof we sel-
dom met, and I am afraid that I did not
make those rare intervals at all pleasant.
I felt wronged and miserable, and my
wan face and heavy eyes were only a re-
proach to him. ‘

“ Oh, what a monster, Kitty?”

“Not quite that, Selina. There were
many excuses for him. One day I saw a
paragraph in the newspaper saying that
Lord Richard Talbot intended to accom-
pany a scientific exploring party whose
destination was Central Asia. I instant-
ly sent and asked my husband for an in-
terview.

“ I had intended dressing myself with
care for that meeting, and making one
last effort to win the kindly regard at
least, of one whom I could not help lov-
ing. But some unfortunate fatality al-
ways attended our meetings, and I could
never do myself justice in his presence.
He answered my request at once. I sup-
pose he did so out of kindness and re-
spect ; but the consequence was he found
me in an unbecoming dishabille. and
with my face and eyes red and swollen
with weeping. I felt mortified at a
prompt attention so mlapropos, and my
manner instead of being winning and
conciliating. was cool and and unprepos-
ceasing. I did not rise from the sofa on
which I had been sobbing, and he made
no attempt to sit down beside me or to
.omfort me. I pointed to the paragraph
and asked if it was true.

"‘Yes, Lady Talbot, I shall relieve
you of my, presence in a few day's. I in-
tended to call upon you to-day with a
draft of the provisions I have made for
your comfort.’

“ This he said a little sadly and proud-
ly. I could make no answer. I had
thought of many kind things to say, but
now in his presence I was fretful and
dumb. He looked at me almost in pity,
and said in a low voice,—

" lKitty, we have both been sacrificed
to a necessity involving many beside
ourselves. I am trying to make what
reparation is possible. I shall leave you
unrestricted the use of three‘fourths of
my income. I desire you to make your
life as gay and pleasant as you possibly
can. I have no fear for the honor of our
name in your hands; I trust it to you
without doubt. If you would try to learn
to make some excuse for my hard posi-
tion, I shall be grateful ; perhaps, when
you are not in constant fear of meeting
me this lesson may not be so hard.’

“ I could not say a word in reply. I
lay sobbing like a child among the cush-
ions. Then he lifted my hand and kissed
it; then he was gone. "

“And now that you have become the
most brilliant woman in England, Kitty,
what do you intend to do ?" '

“Who-knows, Selina? I have a con-
tmry‘streuk in my nature. I always do
the very thing I do not want to do.”

, Certainly it seemed likg it ; for in spite
of her confession, when Lord Talbot sent
the next morning to request an interview,
she regretted that she had a prior en-
gagement, but hoped to meet Lord Tal-
bOt at the Duchess of 'Clifiord's that
night. '

My lord bit his lipsrangrily, but never-
theless he had been so struck with her
beauty that be determined to keep the
engagement.

She did not meet him with sobs this
time. The centre of an admiring throng,
she spoke to him with an case and non-
chalance that would have indicated to a
stranger the most usual and common-
place of acquaintanceships.

He tried to draw her into a confiden-
tial mood, but she replied smilingly,—

“My lord, the world supposes us to
have congratulated each other; we need
not undeoeive it. ” ,

He was gently piqued, and the pique
kept the cause of it continually in his
mind. Indeed, unless he left London
he could hardly avoid constant meetings,
which were constant aggravations.

My lad went everywhere. Her beauty,
her wit, her splendid toilets, her fine
manners, were the universal theme. He
had to endure comments on them.
Friends told them that y Talbot had
never been so brilliant nd bewitching as
since his return. He was congratulated
on his influence over her.

Inthe meantime she kept strictly at
the distance he‘had arranged four years
ago. It was evident that if he would ap-
proach any nearer, to__his. beautiful but

«long-neglected wif a must humble
hitnself. Why sh‘o'hldhc not?

In Lord Talbot’s inind the reasons
against it dwindled down to, one. But it
was a formidable one. It was his valet.

This man had known all his master's
matrimonial troubles, and in his own
way sympathized with them. The man
was bitter, however, against Lord Tal-
bot’s makingany concessions to my lady.
One night he received a profound shock.

“Simmons," said Lord Talbot, very
decidedly, "go and ask Lady Talbot if
shewilldo me the honor to receive a

 

good of both houses that Richard Talbot
and I should use"! that Richard had

visit from me. "

was in an exquisite costume, and conde-
scended to exhibit for his pleasure all
her most bewildering moods.

It was with great reluctance he left her
after a two hours’ visit. The next night
he staid still longer. My lady had no
other engagement, and he quite forgot
the one he had made to be present at the
Marquis of Stair’s party.

The following week my lady received
every morning a basket Of flowers and -a
little note with them containing a hope
that she was in good healh.

One morning she was compelled to say
that she was not very well, and Lord Tal-
bot thereupon became so much concerned
that he sent Simmons to ask if he might
be permitted to breakfast with her. My
lady was graciously willing, and Lord
Richard was quite excited by the permis-
sion. He changed his morning gown
and cravat several times, quite regardless
of Simmons’s peculiar face, and with
many misgivings as to his appearance,
sat down opposite the lovely little lady
in blue satin and cashmere and locals. '

It was a charming breakfast. and dur-
ing it the infatuated husband could not
help saying a great many flattering
things. Kitty partied them very pret-
tily- . '

"It is well that no one hears us,” she
said. “If we were not married they
would think we were making love. "
“And if we are married, Kitty, why
not make love, dear? We had no Oppor-
tunity before we were married."

“Ah. Richard. in fashionable lifo'wo
should make ourselves ridiculous Every
one says that now our conduct is irre-
proachable. I should have dearly liked
itwhcanhs a shy. awkward, country
girl, but now, my déar lord, we should
surely be laughed at. "

“ Then, let us he laughed at. I for
one am longing for it—dying for it. It
Time shall run back and fetch the age of
gold, why not love? Let us go back
four whole years and a half. Will you
dearest ?"

“We should run away to the country,
Richard And now that I thinkof it, I
have not been to Esther since wo—were
—married——love.” .

When such conversation as this was
prolonged for five hours, it was little
wonder that orders to pack valiscs and
trunks were given, or that the next day
Esther Hall was in a happy tumult of
preparation. K '

Love comes better late than never, and
Lady Talbot always told herself that she
never could have been so happy in the
sweet old gardens with her lover as she
was with her husband. Probably they
were both as perfectly satisfied as it is
possible for human love to be; for,
greatly to the amazement of the fashiona-
ble world, they not only spent the whole
summer alone in their country home,
but actually when they came back to
London, had the couragetoappear in
the very height of the season in the same
box at the opera.

“Really, Kitty," said Miss Selina, “I
never was so astonished The gentle-
men on your left—”

“ Is always at my right now, dear. He
will never be in the opposition again. ”

“ How delightful l "

“For us? Oh. yes. Charming."

Henry Clay, when presented in Feb-
ruary, 1852, with a large and elegantly
executed medal by some of his New
York friends, received it by reading a
written address, and then, in a conversa-
tional manner, expressed a favorable
opinion of the head, as giving hisfeatures
with great truthfulness, but play fully rs-
marked that he did not know before that
his nose was quite so prominent; and then
added, in allusion to the great intrinsic
value of the medal from its material:
“Who can tell but fifty or a hundred
years hence some Goth may get hold of
this and say the nose of this old dead
fellow will serve to buy me a great many
things that I want, and may carry it ofi' ?
However, it is a capital likeness, I think.
The artists," said Mr. Clay, “have not
generally succeeded well in taking my
features, but that has been in a great
measure my own fault; for my face
never retains long the same expression,
and, especially when I am under any ex-
citement, it changes every moment.
John Randolph once paid me a high
compliment, not intentionally, for he
seldom complimented any man; but,
without intending it, he paid me what I
deem one of the highest compliments I
ever received He said that whenever a
debate is coming on, if I can get a sight
at Mr. Clay's face I can always tell which
side he is going to take. " Strange to say,
the medal was soon afterwards stolen be-
tween Washington and New York from
a lady to whose care it had been intrustcd.
and the original donors had a fad-similar
made, at considerable expense.

Owing to the small proportion of
moisture in mountain air and the low
barometric pressure, evaporation is very
rapid; Even after the heaviest rain the
ground dries in 'a few hours. This
quality of the air tends- to make per-
spiration more profuse and the skin dry
faster than is the case at lower elevations.
There is greater thirst, the tissues waste
faster, and a high authority has said that
a man’s tissue is the only thing which it
is his duty to waste, new tissue being out
of all comparison than old.

It is probably this rapid evaporation
at great heights, and the thirst ‘ which it
engenders. that the Swiss have to thank
fer their wonderful drinking powers.
The other Week the marksman of Canton
Vaud held their annual rific meeting at
Payerne, a picturesque village on the
Broye, and the local papers mention

ers and their friendsdrank the place dry.
On Sunday. Aug. 10. which *was the
great day, they consumed 0.000 bottles
of wine and 5,000 litres (4.400 quarts) of
beer, the total consumption for three
days being 10,000 bottles of the one and
7,300 litres of the other. Everybody
who has been in the Highlands of Soot-
laud or any other mountain land, and
tried the experiment, knows that he can
drinkwith impunity much more whiskey,
or whatever the of» do pays may be, than

as well to observe, is mentioned. as a dry

the bucket-shops which are run by
women for the benefit'of their own sex:
Thesc’woman managers are in certain in-.

down-town broker, who really runs the
shop and pay them a salary. The brok-

handsome brown stone front from where
ladies may come and go without sua-

Twenty-fourth street, where the tickers

and in each a score of ladies may be seen
jotting down the quotations, when they
contrive to see through the veils which
conceal their indentity. There is a very
extensive bucket-shim in Thirty-seventh

exchange by a half-dozen wires. a fact
which suggests the extent of the busi-

A CANINE mnsrcax. CRITIC.

In the year 1839, a phenomenon ap-
peared in the musical world which at-
tracted considerable attention in Ger-
many. Agentleman who was well known
as an enthusiastic musical amateur ‘of
Darmstadt, in the grand d'uoh'y of‘Hcss'c‘,
had a female spaniel, called Poodle. ; By
striking the animal whenever musi'd'was
played, and a false note was struckfshe
was made to bowl. At- last the-threat
of the upraised stick was equally effec-
tive; presently a more glance of the
master’s eye produced the same howl,
and at last the false note itself. A Ger
man paper of the period says, “At the
present time-there is not a concert or an
opera at Darmstadt to which Mr. Fred-
erick S. and his wonderful dog are not
invited—or, at least, the dog. The voice
of the prime donna, the instruments of
the baud. whether violin, clarinet, hout-
boy or bugle—all of them must execute
their parts in perfect harmony, otherwise
Poodle looks at its master, crocts its ears,
showes its grinders, and howls outright. ‘
Old or new pieces, known or unknown to
the dog, produce the same efi'ec " It must
not be supposed that the discrimination
of the creature was confined to the more
execution of musical compositions.
Whatever may have been the case at the
outset of its musical career, toward its
close a vicious modulation or a false re.
lation of parts produced the same result.
“ Sometimes to tease the dog, Mr. S. and
his friends take pleasure in annoying
the canine critic, by emitting adsorb of
discordant sounds from instrument and
voice. On such occasions the creature
loses all self command. its eyes shoot
forth fiery flashes, and long and frightful
howls respond to the inharmonious con-

cert of the mischievous bipeds. But the

latter must be careful not to go too far,
because when the dog's patience is much
tried it becomes savage, and endeavors to
bite both its persecutors and their in-
strumcn "

nuns RACE OF LIFE.

After reading the evidence of Dr. Farr,
one has a natural inclination to study the
law of chances as regards human beings.
According to the eminent authority
quoted, if one could see a million babies
start on a journey (all scratch mark of
course) and could follow them through
life, this is about what he would see:
Newly 150,000 of them drop out of the
ranks by the end of the first year, while
twelve months later the numbers wOuld
be further thinned by the deduction of
53,000 more; 28.000 would follow at the
end of the third season, and less than 4,-
000 at the end of the thirteenth year.
They would throw up the sponge by
twos and threes until the end of the
forty-fifth year. when it would be found
that in the intervening period something
like 500,000 had left the track. Sixty
years would sec 370.000 gray-headed men
still cheerfully pegging away. At the
end of eighty years the competitors in
this great “go-as-you-ploase" would

‘ number 97,000, but they would be getting

more shaky and“dotty" each lap. At
the end of ninety-five mans 223 only
would be left in for the final “tics"
while the winner would be led into his
retiring room a solitary wreck at the ago
of 108. There is something grimly
burnorous in this quaint array carefully
compiled. One cannot help wondering
what would be the betting at the start
about any one of those million babies
coming in alone at the 108th lap of the
greaté'indjmystcrious, track upon which

.Many persons immaginc the earth
under their feet to be a rigid immova-
blemass. It is foundby scientific tests

bio and yielding as indis-rubbor, almost.
It is never really still. It quivers and
throbs and warps and bends night and
day, and even in the absence of all merely
local agencies that can be detected. Not
only is this the case on the surface, but
it is the same when a position in a deep
mine is taken. This instability of the
earth or the constancy of its tremors is
attributed to causes directly connected
with the varying intensities of atmos-
pheric and oooanioypremursa. The plac-
ing of a great weight—as a mountain,
for example-eon any" portion of the sur-
face will naturally tend. to produce a do-
prcssion of the surface at that point. and

the country where he herds or drives his
cattle, but the Floridian cow-boy is in-
digenous to the soil. Hard work and
plenty of it, fat times with poor food. a.
debilitating climate and many mosqui-
toes have made them fieshless. Driving
cattle in the West is certainly no child's

A Washington ibrrospondent, visiting

California, writes:

rived from an artificial lake of five hun-

storing nine hundred and fifty millions
cubic feet of water, retained, by a dam

dollars. I watched this mins’s four moni-
tors work. The water which passes through
these monitors in twenty-four hours is fifty
per cent. more than the total water supply
for the city of San Francisco in the same
length of time. Each monitor throws a
stream of water eight inches in diameter,
supplied by an eighteen-inch pipe under a
four hundred foot pressure. What this
means willbe better understood when I say
that I saw one stream directed againsta
bowldcr weighing between three and four
tons, and the bowldsr was thrown adi‘s.
tancc of thirty feet. I saw rocks weighing
five pounds thrown against the stream and
they were thrown cfi as if they had struck a
fly-wheel in motion. One of these streams
would levels brick building in afew min-
utes, yet they are controlled by aslight
touch of the hand. After having seen half
adozen firemen struggling with a single
fire-hose nozzle, I could not believe that
these monitors could be easily controlled
untilItried it myself. The nozzle is of
ironand isthcsizoofalargc cannon.
The end of the nozzle can be turned up
or down, and to the right or left, by‘a
lever. This turns the entire cannon-like
nozzle on the same principle that a rudder
turns a ship.

can END or m WORLD.

The age of the earth is placed by some
at five hundred millions of years, and
still others, of later time, among them
the Duke of Argyll, places it at ten mil-
lion years, knowing what processes it has
gone through. Other planets go through
the same process. The reason that other
planets differ so much from the earth is
that they are in a much earlier or later
stage of existence.

The earth must become old. Newton
surmised, although he could give no
reason for it, that the earth would at one
time lose at its water and become dry.
Since then it has been found that New-
ton was correct' As the earth keeps
cooling, it will become porous and cavi-
ties will be formed in the interior, which
will take in the water. It is estimawd
this process is now in progress, so far
that the water diminishes at the rate of
about the thickness of a sheet of writing
paper each year.

Atthisrate, insix million years the water
will have sunk a mile, and in fifteen mil-
lion years the water will have dissap.
peard from the face of the globe. The
nitrogen and oxygen in the’atmosphere
are also diminishing all the time. It is
in an inappreciablc degree, but the time
will come when the air-will bcsothin-
that no creatures we know can breathe it
and live; the time will come when the
world cannot support life. That will be
the period old age, and then will come
death.

ANANEGDOTE or non monnsou.
Says a correspondent of the Chicago
Mad: President Clarke, of the Illinois
Central Railroad, told me a good story
about Bob Ingorsoll that has not fit
been in print. A long time agoiit was,-
when many counties in‘tha southern part
of the State were under township organi-
zations, and the supervisors sat as judgm
in certain cases. “Bob" was arguing
a case before one of these tribunals. of
which the judges were evidently more
familiar with crops than law practice.
He brought all his eloquence to bear on
the point, that the case in question was a
great injustice to his, client. and should
be “ thrown out of court." Continually
returning to that argument, he reached
the climax with a burst that, asusual.
carried everybody by storm, ending with
the same appeal to “throw it out of
court. sirsl out of court." It brought
the judges up "all standing," and the
presiding one slowly reached over.
gathered up the papers in the case from
the table in front of him, and as he gave
them an energetic flip out of the window,
turned to Ingcrsoll with a relieved smile »
and said: “ Bob. she's out!”

ALBANY N. Y.
Dr. D. Kennedy, Random, N. Y. : '

Dam Sm: About eight years ago I began to
suffer from a Liver difficulty. Durin the attacks
I experienced severe pain, accompan ed by what
I cannot describe better than by calling it a draw-
ing in sensation. The agony of it was almost be-
yOnd endurance. None of the usual medicines
employed in such cases had any effect upon me.
From time to time I was laid up and unable to at-
tend to any business. This covered a period of a

year.

Finally Mr. Lloyd, a drn t of this cit su -
gested your FAVORITE nfifiny as an exyebllegt
thin for the Liver. I had not taken the whole of
the rst bottle before I found most decided relief '
the pain passed away, and to my delight I regained
the power to enjoy and digest my food without the
former distress. Nature seemed to be set go
