It is a com- mentary on human misery and the relief of distress. What a variety ol compounds!. What wealth of ingenuity has been expended in making them and in bringing theirV together! e There are medicines to cure disease and there are poisons to kill. There are cosmetics to make the coftplexion, beautiful, and there are pills, and plasters, and potions, and lozenges, ancL pads, and ointments, and pomades, and salves, and sundries, and soaps, z and knick-knacks, and perfumes, and toilet essentials, and, in a word, a! most everything that people need to cure their diseases, and a great many things that cannot cure even a sick cat or a debilitated monkey. My neighbor, the druggist, will not take it as uncomplimentary, if the remark is made that many of the things he sells for the cure of dyspepsia are of no particular account. The fact is that dyspepsia is a very tough disease to wrestle with. It needs tonics and it needs iron. A good many of the articles offered for the cure of this malady have failed in that the tonics they contain are not the right things, and that the iron is introduced in such a way as to do mote harm than good. But my neighbor, the druggist', te : fortunate in having on his shelves, one medicine which is no failure, but, on the contrary, a sure success. Among all the others it stands pre-eminent. It is Brozvn's Iron Bitters. Here I see what my dyspeptic friends need. Many a victim of dyspepsia has been helped by it into liberty and iifc. Let all the other contents of the drug-shop go, but give me Brown's Iron Bitters for mv dvsDeDtic j aouar a rjotue, aia you sayr uertain.'y a reasonable enoueh AT Jl. J 11 . 11 R UBBER S.

The strike of the dress and cloak makers for an in crease of wages ended disastrously to-day for the strikers. Some of them had been paid less than $15 per week and the strike which only three days to have the wages of each of the employees niea at 10 per weeK was inaugurated. The employers failed to respond to the demand and the strikers being: out of funds, ac- kowledged their defeat to-day. They all returned to tneir wore, it is thought probable that in the spring when trade is brisk they will renew their demand when they expect tnat the movement will be successful.
