The Result of Merit.

When anything stands a test of fifty years among a 1 discriminating people, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have met with such'’ continued success and popularity as has marked the progress of Bbandreth’s Pills, which, after a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and alterative ever introduced to the public. That is the result of merit, and that Brandretii’s Pills perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who ’have used them the longest. Brasdrkth’s Pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated.'

Sometimes the shrewdest men miss fortune. Here is an example. Charley Snider, a newspaper Bohemian, who lives most of his time abroad; told the story a night or two ago: Some years since he saw in the tap-room of an English hotel the first syphon bottle used in ' Great,.Britain. He thought it a good thing, and proposed to a friend to buy the sole right for its manufacture and sale in the United States. He judged it was was just the thing to captivate the j American taste. His friend laughed him out of the idea and he reluctantly let the matter slip. In a year afterward the new syphon bottles were in every decent bar-room in the land, and Melville Durfee, the smart New Englander who had secured the right and the patent here, made more than a million out of the venture. The right for this country was bought for $5,000.

The future of this great country depends largely upon the good health of our women folks. How sad that they should share an excess of suffering. Let it not be so. By the use of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla the female system can be strengthened. It is a certain cure for periodic pains, bearing down sensations, menstrual irregularities and general female weakness. Yonkers Statesman: As a rule tailors and shoemakers do a promising businsss.
