A Daily Defalcation.

The Hon. John Keliy, the head and front of Tammany Hall, a man of strict integrity, an indefatigable worker, early at his office, lat? to leave, so burdened with business that regular meals were seldom known by him, with mind in constant tension and energies stead ily trained, finally broke down! The wonder is that he did net sooner give way. An honest man in all things else, he acted unfairly with his physical resources. He was ever drawing upon this bank without ever depositing a collateral. The account overdrawn, the bank suspends and both are now in the hands of medical receivers. It is not work that kills men. It is irregularity of habits and mental worry. No man in good health frets at his work. Bye and bye when the bank of vigor suspends, these men will wonder how it all happened, and they will keep wondering until their dying day unless, perchance, some candid physician or interested friend will point out to them how by irregularity, by excessive mental effort, by constant worry and fret, by plunging in deeper than they had a right to go. they have produced that loss of nervous energy which almost invariably expresses itself in a deranged condition of the kidneys and liver, for it is a well-known fact that the poison which the kidneys and liver should remove from the blood, if lett therein, soon knocks the life out of the strongest and most vigorous man or woman. Daily building up of these vital organs by so wonderful and highly reputed a specific as Warner’s safe cure, is the only guarantee that our business men can have that their strength will be equal to the labors daily put upon them. Mr. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, w’e leurn, indicating, as we have said, a break-down of nerve force. His case should be a warning to others who, pursuing a like course, will certainly reach a like result.—Sunday Herald.
