It’s about as hard to break some people of bad habits as it is to break Malarial Fever when it once gets a firm hold upon one. Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio, says, “Simmons Liver Regulator broke a case of Malarial Fever of three years’ standing for me, and less than one bottle did the business. I shall use it when in need of any medicine, and I recommend it.” A man who driv^aa _horse—at full tgsnopTKTo^Btreet crowded with bicycles and other vehicles is a fool arid a j hoodlum in possession of one means of exhibiting hituself, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A man who scorches a bicycle through a street equally crowded, or over crossings thronged with pedestrians, is exactly the same kind of fool and hoodlum, mounted on another kind of vehicle. Both should be sternly suppressed by exemplary pun- । ! ishment. It happens to be the misfor- j I tune of the new vehicle that the bicycling idiot is most numerous at present, and owing, perhaps, to his greater facilities for getting away, has not been suppressed.
