Z. I'd L"
PoLTTENEss UNDER DIFFICULTIEs.--Agen-
tleman, resident of small town, not thous-
and miles from New York, had the exuberant
fortune of five successive wives. He had
buried them, one after another, as death made
its demands upon them, and three or four of
them happened to be in different towns. To
reconcile his sense of sacredness with his
sense OF order and numerical unity, he started
one day on tour of collection to bury them
all In one place. He mounted the wagon him
self and drove around till he got them all to-
gether IN one , load; and then, as fate would

whom he had offered himself, was sittins At
the open window. Seeing her sitting at the
window, he bowed to her, as any gentleman
would, as he drove by with his precious load
of five coffins with their contents. 1t was too
much for the lady to stand; and she declared
she never would have him, and has to this day

Notice to the Public!


In the year 1916, the writer embarked in the Drug
Business in the city of Philadelphia and while thus
engaged, made several experiments in regard to the
most desirable mode Of preparing Fluid Extracts
My efforts being successful articles being approx
ed aud used by the Medical Faculty--I was DESTROYS
OF placing them before the public but hestaed for
some time before concluding to resort to newspaper
adverts ng, knowing the preudices that existed in
the minds Of many against using advertised Medi-
cfes or Nostu,s, but through the advice of friends
and those who had used them this objection was
overcome.
After Is years oxertions, commencing in a small
way, the popularity OF my articles has extended to all
parts OF the United States, and widely throughout
foreign countries-and this in the face of much oppo-
sItion. Every means has been resorted to by I'M
pricpled dealers since their merit and success have
been knownsuch as advertising larger bottles at less
price, censuring all other preparations, and even
copying my advertisemcnts-but am happy to state
that out of the many who have resorted to this none
have been successful. -
MY OBJECT
in this notice is to make facts known to the public
and respectable dealers, believing, after 30 many
years exertons, that the Druggists viii dscounte-
nance such proceedings and that the reputation of
my articles may not be damaged by use of inferior or
spurious ones. a...I -..r-... d e.. ..-.4

unacquainted with me, append few remarks from,

Hints to 5katers.-How to do 1t, and how
not to do it.

|s
The preservation of health is an art of great
er Importance than the restoration to health !:
yet few take the necessary precautions in keep
ing well. As the season of skates is near at
hand we will give the counsel of wise physi-
clan, whose rules are generally found worth
attention: ilylt emf s3's 81. -lef1-ls ll .H.5s
Skating Is one of the most exhilarating of
all pastimes, whether on the ice, or over our
parior or hall floors, with roller-skates. As
lives have been lost in connection with skating,
the following suggestions are made
l. Avoid skates which are strapped on the
feet, as they prevent the circulation, and the
feet become frozen before the skater is aware
OF it, because the tight strapping benumbs the
foot and deprives it of feeling. A young LADY,
in Boston lost foot in this way; another in
New York her life, by endeavoring to thaw
her feet in warm water, after taking off her
skates. The safest kind are those which re-
ceive the fore part of the foot in a kind of toe.
and stout leather around the heal buckling in
'front.' OF the ankle only, thus keeping the heels
in place without spikes or screws, and aiding
greatly in supporting the ankle. s'ia -
2. 1t is not the object so much to skate fast
as to skate gracefully; and this is sooner and
more easily learned by skating with delibera-
ton, white it prevents overheating, and dimin-
isnes the chance of cold by cooling off too
soon afterward.
8. If the wind is blowing, veil should be
worn over the face, at least of ladies and chill
dren; otherwise, fatal inflammation of the lungs.
pneumonia may take place. .. n r., I,
4. Do not sit down to rest single half
minute; nor stand still if there is any wind.
nor stop moment after the skates are taken
Oil; but walk about, so as to restore the circu-
iation about the feet and toes, and prevent be-
ing chilled. .. =. %
8. 1t Is safer to walk home than to ride !:
the latter is almost certain to give cold.
6. Never carry anything in the mouth while
skating, nor any hard substance in the hand,
nor throw anything on the ice none but
careless, reckless fellow would thus endanger
a fellow skater fall.
8. Ii the thermometer is below thirty. and
the wind is blowing, no lady or child should
be skating.
8. Always keep your eyes about you, look
ing ahead and upward, not on the ice, that
you may not run against some lady, child or
learner. esr axe s.,.-..-..,
8. Arrange to have an extra garment, thick
and heavy, to throw over your shoulders the
moment you cease skating, and walk home, or
at least half mile, with your mouth closed, SO
that the lungs may not be quickly chilled
by the cold air dashing upon them through
the open mouth if it passes through the nose
and head, 1t is warmed before it gets to the
lungs. dgs lle1r -.f5rteqt - ~.
IL. 1t would be safer rule for no child or
lady to be on skates longer than an hour at a
time."-Halls Journal of Health.
