Jonathan jenkins was cured of an fnforma-
ton Of the bowels in the same way. Then
Mrs. Thisilesifter, who you know is very
skilfnl in roots and arbs, and so forth, says
there is nothing in the world so good for
fever as split fowl"
"a split fool was going to say and
indeed if all the fools were so, who meddle
with that which they nothing about, the
world would be better of. Did you give
Mr.. Tozey the medicine / left him p
"No, Doctor; Mrs. Phistlesifter come
in here just after you went away, and
couldn't do no less than to insult her in so
impotent crisis /; and we come to the
conclusion between US, that it was best not
to give the medicine you left; but to
put the split fowl on his feet, poor man,
and drench him we'll with peppergrass tea,
and little ll-go-over-ground and smart
weed with it."
So you didn't give the medicine / left
then p
"No, Doctor; Mrs. Thistlesifter and
thought in such an impotent case, that the
split fowl was the principal thing to be re-
lied relied on. Besides, to tell the truth,
Doctor, we was afeared there was MARCH,
ry in the medicine, as we noticed white
powder init
Indeed and so because you and Mrs.
Thistlesif;er noticed white powder in
the medicine,' you threw it aside, and split
open live fowl!'
yes, Doctor; do think that marcury
is very bad thing. 1t saves peoples
lives, to be sure but then it gets into the
bones, rs Mrs. Thistlesifter says, and
there's no getting it out again as long as
you live. Oh wouldn't had Mr.. To-
zer, poor man, to take it for any thing =
And so, by following your own and
Mrs. Thistlesifter's foolish notions, you've
lost your husband
Lost him did you say, Doctor-lost
my dear Mr.. Tozer!'
| 'Ay, I grieve to tell you that he won't
live forty eight hours.
mot forty-eight hours, Doctor! not
live forty ght hours! And I've only
been married to him year,
'l'm sorry to say there's no hope for
him.
'And I laid out SO much money for my
wedding clothes only year ago I! And
the dunghill fowl gone too! the latest
rooster in the barnyard Oh, miserable
me, that should be widow again so soonj5'
Saying this, the good woman wrung her
hands and took on bitterly.
The next day Mr.. Tozer died. Mrs.
Tozer, as in duty bound, wept profusely
for his death; but finally comforted her.

A man in prosperity forgets every one {;
and in adversely every one fcrgets him. In
prosperity he appears to have lost his SEN

with all the world and when hurled TO
the bottom of the wheel of fortune, all the
world are discontinued with him.
