BoILs-A Boys Competitions "A
boil is generally very small at first
and a fellow hardly notices it, but
in few days it gets to be the big
gest Of the two, and the chap that
has it is of very little account in
comparison with his boil, which then
"has him" Boils appear mysteri.
ously upon various portions of the
human body, coming, when and
where "they darn pleases," and often
in very inconvepient places. Sonss.
times solitarJ boil is the sum total
of the affection, but frequently there
is "rubishen" lot of 'em to help the
first one.a If a. boil comes anywhere
on a person, that person always
wishes that it had come somewhere
else, although it would puzzle him
to say just where.
Some persons call them 'sdamboils, y
but such are addicted to profanity
the proper name is boil. If a chap
has a BOIL be gets a good deal Of
sympathy from others Tin horn
Who ever asks him what ails him
laughs at him for his pains to an
swer, while many unfeeling persons
make game Of him, or of his misfor-
tune or boil. 1t is very wicked to
make sport Of persons with boils !;
they cannot help it and often feel
very badly about it Physicians
don't give boil patients much salts

young physicians who are just be-
ginning to practice are fond of try
ing their lancets on them. Boils are
said to be healthy and judging from

and ache, and burn, and grow, and
raise, Cain generally, there is no

good constitutions. They are gen
orally very lively and playful at
night, and it, is very funny to see
a chap with good large one pros
pecting around his couch for a place
where his boil will fit in without
hurting" Boils tend to ''purify the
Blood strengthen the system, calm
the nerves, restrain the profanity,
tranquilize the spirit, improve the
temper, and beauty the appearance.
They are good things for married
men who spend their evenings away
from home, as they give them an op-
portunity to rest their night keys,
and get acquainted with their fami-
lies. 1t is said that boils save the
patient "a fit Of Sickness" but if the
sickness is not the best to have, it
must be an alfred mean thing. It
is also said that a. person is better
after he has had them; and there is
no doubt that one feels much better
after he has got rid of them. Many
distinguished persons have enjoyed
these harbingers of health. Job took
the first premium at the country fair
for having more achers under culti-
walton than any other person. Shaks-
peare had them, and meant boils
when he said, zone who doth tread
upon another's heels, SO fast they
follow"

for boils, most of which are we'll
