PLAGUE-STRICKEN PLYMOUTH!

Does a Similar Danger Threaten Every One of UsT How Public Attention la Directed to Personal Perils. [Rochester (N. Y.) correspondence Indianapolis Sen tinal. J “Judge,” said a young lawyer to a very successful senior, “tell me tho secret of your uniform success atthe bar.” “Ah, young man. that secret is a life study, but I will give it to you on condition that you pay all my bills during this session of oourt.” “Agreed, sir,” said the junior. “Evidence, indisputable evidence.” At the end of the month the Judge reminded the young man of his promise. “I recall no such promise.” “Ah, but you made it.” “Your evidence, please?” And the Judge, not having any witnesses, lost a case for once I The man who can produce Indisputable evidence wins public favor. I had an interview yesterday with the most successful of American ad vertisers, whose advertising Is most successful because always backed by evidence. “What styles of advertising do you use?” I asked H. H. Warner, Esq. “Display, reading matter, and paragraphs of testimonials.” “ Have you many testimonials?” In answer he showed me a large cabinet chock-full. “We have enough to fill Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Philadelphia morning papers.” * “Do you publish many of them?” “Not a tithe. Wonderful as are those we do publish, we have thousands like them which we cannot use. ‘Why not'? Let me tell you. ‘ Warner’s safe cure' has probably been the most successful medicine for female disorders ever discovered. We have testimonials from lad es of the highest rank, but it would be indelicate to publish them. Likewise many statesmen, lawyers, clergymen, doctors of world-wide fame have been cured, but wo can only refer to such persons in the most guarded terms, as we do in our reading articles.” “Are these reading articles successful?” “When, read they make such an impression that when the ‘evil days’ of ill-health draw nigh they are remembered, and Warner’s safe cure Is used.” “No, sir, it is not necessary now, as at first, to do such constant and extensive advertising. A meritorious medicine sells Itself after its merits are known. We present just such evidence enough to disarm skeptics and to impress the merits of the remedies upon new consumers. We feel it to be our duty to do this. Hence, best to accomplish our mission of healing the sick, we have to use the reading article style. People won't read plain testimonials.” “Yes, sir; thousands admit that had they not learned of Warner’s safe cure through this clever style they would still be ailing and still impoverishing themselves in fees to unsuccessful ‘practitioners.’ It would do your soul good to read the letters o,f thanksgiving ,we get from mothers grateful for the perfect success which attends Warner’s safe cure when used for children, and the surprised gratification with which men and women of older years and impaired vigor testify to the youthful feelings restored to them by the same means., ’ “Are these good effects permanent?” “Of all the cases of kidney, liver, urinary and female diseases we have cured, not two per cent, of them report a return of their disorders. Who else can show such a record?” “What is the secret of Warner's safe cure permanently reaching so many serious disorders?” “I will explain by an illustration; The little town of Plymouth, Pa., has been plaguestricken lor several months because its water supply was carelessly poisoned. The kidneys and liver are sources of physical well-being. If polluted by disease, all the blood becom.es poisoned and every- organ is affected, andAhfe great' danger threatens every one. Who neglects ■to treat himself promptly. I was nearly dead myself of extreme kidney disease, but what is how Warner's safe cure cured me, and I know it is the only remedy in the world that can cure such disorders, for I tried everything else in vain- Cured by it myself, I bought it, and, from a sense of duty, presented it to the world. Only by restoring the kidneys and liver can disease leave the blood and the system.” A celebrated sanitarian physician once said to me: “The secret of the wonderful success of Warner’s safe cure is that it is sovereign over all kidney, liver and urinary diseases, which primarily or secondarily make up the majority of human ailments. Like all great discoveries, it is remarkably simple.” The house of H. H. Warner & Co. stands deservedly high in Rochester, and it is certainly matter of congratulation that merit has been recognized all over the world, and that this success has been unqualifiedly deserved. Pen Point.

Clipping and Slurring Language. There seems no room for doubting that the h disease had its origin in London. Walker speaks of it as specially prevalent in London in his day, and even now it is more common in the pure cockney dialect (the most hateful form of the English dialect in existence) than anywhere in England. Moreover, its prevalence in other places than London is greater or less according as such places are nearer to or farther from the metropolis. This being the case, we are justified in assuming that the disease had at first that form which is characteristic of the faults of language found at great centers of and especially in the chief city of the nation. If you wish to hear French clipped and slurred you should go to Paris, arid German suffers like treatment in Vienna and Berlin. It is the same with English in London. In a great and busy city men shorten their words and as much as possible, being assured that what they say will be understood, because all speak the same language and adopt the same convenient abbreviations. Thus, just as in, Paris cette femme becomes c’te f’me, and Voila ce que e’est becomes Via c’ q’ e’est, so in London City Bank becomes C’ty Ba’k; hali'nenny is abridged first to ha’penny and then to hapny or ’apny. Omnibus is shortened into ’bus; every one in it addresses the conductor as ’ductor; the conductor shortens the cry of all right into ry, announces the threepenny fare as thrippus, and so forth. In fact, it may be laid down as a general proposition that, although a language becomes modified in provincial plages and in colonies, it is only in busy cities, and chiefly in capital cities, that language is modified by clipping and slurring.— Atlantic Monthly.

Resenting an Insult { “You say he called you a donkev ?” “Yes.” ' “What did you do about it?” “Nothing.” ’ - . ' SWell, if a man should call me a donkey I’d kick him with both feet. ” “Certainly, any donkey would naturally do that’” Diluted Venom. Pride, like laudanum arid other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, , though injurious in large, quantities. No man who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can easily please others.— Luling {Tex.) Wasp.
