i- Dr. Theodore Ledyard, of this city,
used to do w. Theodore Jjedyard

About Pies.
The dependence of the American cit
izen upon his pie is quite touching.
The amount consumed, if properly ar
ranged with reference to statistical dys
pepsia, would probably exceed the hor-
ror-in8pmng ngures wnicn reiormers
love to cite in regard to the effect of
tobacco and liquors. 'From 25,000 to
30,000 pies are daily sold in the city of
New York alone. Multiplied by fifty,
the ratio of he population of New York
city to that of the United States, it
would appear that over a million and a
half of pies are eaten every day by the
- . . -w-r . ni 1 ml ' 1
people oi tne umtea otaies. jluib aoes
not include the pies made by private
families and large hotels in New York ;
so that it is safe to say that at least a
third of a pie or a pie every three days
is eaten by every family in the land.
One curious feature is that during times
of publio excitement people do not et
as much as usual. One of the pie man
ufacturers says that during tbe illness
of President Garfield, especially at the
time of his assassination and the day of
his death, including, also, the days of
great suspense, the business of pie
eating and pie-buying fell off very seri
ously. The same is true of election
times. Pumpkin pie is going out of
fashion, being superseded by apple and
custard.
The Chico (Cal.) Eecord tells this
story : A couple of Chinamen, while
fishing in the Sacramento river near
Chico landing, were attacked by a large
snake, which coiled about one of them
The other Chinaman seized a hatchet
and cut the monster to pieces. They
proceeded to measure it, and, placing
together the parts severed, it measured
forty-three feet and seven inches, and
was as large around as a man s leg.
The New York Clipper lately cited the
case of Cantain Jacob Schmidt, of Tomp-
kinsville. Staten Island, N. Y , who had
been a great sufferer with rheumatism for

Whnt the Director Said.
A Boston reporter, while in the office of the
Now York and Boston Despatch Express Com
pany, had a conversation with Mr. B. J?.Larabee,
one of the directors of the company, who gave
the following personal experience: A little over
a year ago I was taken sick. I did not know what
the trouble was, but I continned to grow worse,
and my complaint baffled the skill of my doc
tors. At last my symptoms developed into
that terrible oomplaint, Bright's disease, which
has been pronounced incurable by all physi
cians. My Bufferings at that time were un
speakable. I was bloated from head to foot;
my heart pained me; my pulse was irregular,
and I was unable to breathe except in short
convulsive gasps. While suffering thus I
learned of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and although I had been given up to die
by ;the prominent physicians of Boston, and
they had told my friends I could not live a
week, I resolved to try this remedy as a last re
sort. I am rejoiced to Bay it has effected a per
fect owe in my case, and with many of my
friends, who have been afflicted with kidney
troubles, either of long standing or in their
aoute forms, and who, under my advioe, have
used this most wonderful remedy."
If every person would be half as good as he
expeots his neighbor to be, what a heaven this
world would be.

a nt,.1 Vtrlitnnm mt Health 1
Is a regularly recurring action of the bowels.
With the due performance of this function
are united good digestion, pure and active cir
culation of the blood, and an adequate secre
tion of healthy bile, which seeks the conduits
designed for it by nature. The performance of
these co-operative functions, insuring perma
nent health and vigor, may, if interrupted,
speedily be rendered active and regular with
that finest of modern restoratives of organio
activity and general health, ilostotters Stom
ach Bitters. While it relaxes the bowels effect
ually, it does so without pain, and without
giving rise to the violent, weakening reaction
always to be anticipated from a drastio purga
tive. The drenching effect, associated in 'the
minds of many ill-advised persons with thor
oughness as its essential, is ruinous to the
stomach and intestines, organs that are, on the
contrary, invigorated by the Bitters, wbioh is,
moreover, a supero preventive ana remeay lor
fever and ague, and a proven specifio for rheu
matism, debility and kidney inactivity.
All errors spring up in the neighborhood of
some truth; they grow round about it, and for
tho most part dorive their strength from such
contiguity.
