The perspiration stood out on the merchant's forehead in bends as big it* goose eggs. He called his clerk and Miked him if he had seen ail old shoe that was lyiny in a certain place the night before. He had, for the shoe be­ longed to him. and he had disposed «f ;tt that morning, to a rag picker, in wider to get it out of the way, This Information paraylyzed the merchant iiind the clerk^tlso* when he learned that his old shoe w as the saving bank of the firm. The clerk cxpected to be Wrested on a charge ef defalcation, jwid speculating with depositor's money, and thought some of lighting -Ifttit and registering at some first-ClasSf' ]iOt<*l, in order to evade the detectives, and thus escape punishment. But a «6ber second thought induced him to .limit for the rag-picker, whom he found rwith the old shoe in his sack. Grasp­ ing the shoe with a linn hold, that defied escape, he jumped his fist down into the toe, found the money, and leift the surprised ragman on a dead ran for the store, where he proved his iwin renee of the charge of traud, de­ falcation and speculating with depos- '"Ifoi's money.

Price 25 cents a bottle. manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises Of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cap* Horn, in the early days of-emigration to Cal­ ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of tile vessel had cured himself, during the voy­ age, of an obstinate disease by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Lelaxd has recommended AVer's Sarsataiulla in inany similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail­ ure to effect a radical cure. • Some years ago one of Mr. LEtACTi'S farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad State of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor­ rible itching of the skin, with burning and ^darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor­ mously enlarged, and running ulcere formed, discharging great quantities of extremely Offensive matter, No treatment was of any avail until tlie man, by Mr. Lklakd's direc­ tion, was supplied with AVER'S Sabsapa- EILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation, Lealed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. T.r.i.Axn has personally used Ayers Sarsaparilla for Rlienmattsm, with entire success; and, after careful observation, declares that, in liis belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for tlie cure of Liver Disorders, Gont, the effects of high living. Salt Khcutn, Sores, Eruptions, and all tlie various forms of blood diseases* We have Mr. Lelasd's permission to Invito all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AVer's Sahsaparilla to see him person­ ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 2Sth Streets, New York. Mr. Leland's extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradlcator of bioocl poisons enables him to give inquirers inucli valuable information. PREPARED BY Dr.J.C.Ayer&Co., Lowell, Mass.
