The Work of an Editor.

The duties of the genuine dyed-in-the-wool, simon-pure editor are multifarious and multitudinous. His work is not only to “do a little writing.'' as is sometimes supposed, but to cull, to glean, to select, to discriminate, to decide, to forsee, to observe, to grasp, to explain, to elucidate, to inflate, to boil down, “to be, to do and to suffer,” and several hundred other verbs, with a large number of districts yet to hear from. A PHysiciAN writes: “I have found Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is a perfect and complete cure for sexual weaknesses the most stubborn of all debilitating diseases. The fact should be generally known. It will save many from the clutches of that vile class of medical pretenders who call themselves specialists, but whose specialty consists mostly of prolonging the suffering of their victim and emptying his purse.
