BOBBIE PEACH. THE CLAM
SAGE. 81 YEARS OLD
Thin Ik Hobble Pfich’i nntal day
Bobble, be It Knltl. Is one of the old
eht. If not the oldest, merchant in ell
New York In active service. Itobbie.
despite hlrt 81 years, will be founJ
at his usual plnce of business today,
nnd his call of ‘'Clams, clams, fresh
clams: n penny apiece," will re
sound forth an it hns on the soutr
crly end of Manhattan Island for
over half a century.
Hobble Peach I* the clam sage cf
South htret. lie has been there so
long that no living man can recoi
led a time when he was not sciVug
clams. Itobbie Is n fixture. He Is
as much a part of the Itattery end
of town as the aquarium.
Bobbie first saw the light of lay
In New York In 1831, ami In ISO.
when a lad of IS, he ventured Into
the clam business, and he has been
at It ever since* That means slxty
thr«e years of *lum salesmanship.
The civil war Interrupted the tran
quility of Hobble's clammy way and
lie devoted four years of his Ilf- to
the service of his country as a mem
ber of the Forth New York regi
ment. After the war Hobble returned
to his old stand nnd took up his cry
of •‘Clams, clums. fresh clams: a pen
ny apiece.” Bobbie has repeated
these words so often that he says
them mechanically, says them ut
work and at play, and mumbles them
o'er nnd o'er again In his sleep.
As far as Hobble Is concerned, the
whole world Is a clnm. so, too. Is the
solar system ami the void that
stretches beyond to eternity. Hobble
eats clams, sells <lams and thinks
clams.
"Yes.*’ Hobble was saying, ‘‘l be
gan business at what Is now Water
street and—clams, clams, fresh clams
—n penny apiece. I have been at It
ever since. When 4 began the busl

J list uh Bobble says, with his clntn
Interruption* Manhattan Islnnd
ended near what is now Water street
when he first went Into business.
The city began filling in the hoy to
the south In 1N45. and Hobble and
his clam* moved south ;ih the Island
grew, lie Ik still at the southern
end, ami says he Intends to remain
on the southern end even If It Ik ex

Bobble Bench has found « lams a
paying venture. He has succeeded In
raising a crop of Peachew—six, to

grand children. Bobble owns his
own home, at No. 2 Forty-first street.

with a married daughter at No. 22b
Wyckoff street. Brooklyn.
Bobble has seen a strange trans
formation In the New York water
front. Ills memory readily skips
hack to the da.VK when the Aquarium
la Battery |ftirk stood on an Island
and was used ns u fort by the gov
ernment. Bobble also recalls the
days of Castle Garden glories, when
the best blood of the city .net at the
old round structure to make rociry.
With his eyes half closed. Hobble
can see wratlh-like figures of the
beaus nnd belle* of yesterday gath- j
• red about the ancient ncquarium. |
Furthermore, Bobble's memory
quickly recalls the days when the
water front looked like a leafless for
est with his maze of masts on the
square rigged ships that sailed the
seven tea-. Many things and many
men have come nnd gone in Hobble's
time, but all Impcrturbed, the oldest
of them all gives voice to the same
old song 'Clams, clams, fresh clams,
a penny apiece."
Hobble has often resolved to quit
bustners and spend his remaining
days in peaceful idleness, but try ns
he may ho can't. He has boon at the
clam business altogether too long.

Read About These Three Girls. How Sick
They Were and How Their Health
Was Restored by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
-Appleton, Wis.— w I take pleasure in writing you
; an account of my sickness. I told a friend of mine
how I felt and she said 1 had female trouble nml
advised me to use Lydia K. Pinkiinn.'s Vegetable
liffl v* jMy Compound, as she had taken it lierself for the same
Jflßpjj trouble with wonclerfui results. I had been sickly*
for t wo years and overworked myself, anti had such
Lad feelings every month that I could hardly walk
Vgmmy' J&m for pain. I was very nervous and easily tired out
C wßrf r and cnnUl not sleep nights. I had dizzy spells, and
nimples came on my face. But 1 have taken your
" fc -r Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has
restored my health. 1 think it is the best medicine in existence.”—
Miss Cecilia 31. Hauer, 1101 Lawrence St., Appleton, Wis.
A SCHOOL TEACHER'S GRATITUDE:
Geneva, lowa.—“l have been teaching school for some years and I
have neglected my health liecause 1 was too busy with niy work to
attend to myself properly. I suffered greatly every month and was
on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“I wrote to you about my condition and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and the Blood Purifier as you recommended.
These remedies have done wonders for me and’ I can highly unci
widely recommend them to every suffering woman.”— Miss Minnie
Shaver, U. F. D. No. 1* Qeneva, lowa, c/o Sam Erickson.
A COLORADO GIRL'S CASES
Montrose, Col.— 44 1 was troubled very much with irregular periods.
Sometimes two months would elapse. 1 suffered severe headache,
was weak and nervous, could eat scarcely anything.
“I took both Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood
Purifier and the result was wonderful. I feel like another person.
“I think your remedies are the best on earth and cannot express
my thankfulness to you for what they have done to me. I help my
neighltors when they are sick, and I shall always recommend your
medicines.”- Miss Ella MgCandless, Montrose, Col.
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will benefit any other girl who is
suffering with the same troubles ?
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? You may be sure that it can do
you no harm, and there are lots of proof that it will do
you much good.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinklmm's Vegetable
Compound lias been tlio standard remedy for f<»- ntvs
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments W{
does justioe to herself who will not try flits fa- S/
■nous medicine, made from roots and herbs, it II II
lias restored so many suffering women to health. 11 \zC± * I
