Co ncerninR BOilsr

Boils come from humor in the blood,
and are sort of practical joke that
very few people enjoy. The carbun-
Gle is perfect jewel of boil.
But for the matter Of that consider
ed in a humorous point of view, there
is more of the cell about it than the
common kind. Boils are generally ac-
compained by rising, especially when
a fellow sits on one.
They are contagious, and il you
touch one when a fellow is in bad
humor you are apt to catch it. Con-
cernining their rise and progress CO.
Temporary remarks as followsi
"A boil is generally very small at
first, and fellow hardly notices it, but
in few days it gets to be the biggest
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 mysteriously upon vsri-
GUS portions of the human body, coming
when and where they darn please, and
often in very inconvenient places. Some
times boil is the sum total of the af-
Fiction, frequently there is a 'rubishin'
lot of 'em to help the first one. If a
boil comes anywhere on a person, that
person always wishes it had come some
whsre else, although it would puzzle
him to say just where.
If a chap has boil he generally gets
a good deal of sympathy from others
in horn Whoever asks him what
ails him laughs at him for his pains TO
answer, while many unfeelng persons
make game of him, orof his misfortune,
or boil. 1t is very wicked to make
sport of persons with boils, they can not
help it, and often feel very badly about
IT. Physicians don't give boil patients
much satisfaction as a general thing, al
though young physicians who are just
beginning to practice are fond of trying
their lancets on them. Boils are said to
be healthy and Judging from the way
they take holt, and hang on, and grow,
and raise Cain generally, there is no
doubt that they are healthy and have
good constitutions. They are general
ly very lively and playful at night, and
it is very funny to see chap with q
good large one, prospecting around his
couch for place where his boil will
fit without hurting Boils tend to
purify the blood strengthen the
system, calm the nerves, improve the
temper, and beautify the appearance.
They are good things for married men
who spend their evenings away from
home, as they give them an opportuni-
ty to rest their night-keys and get ac-
qua:nted with their families. 1t is said
that boils save the patient "a fit of sick
ness but if the sickness is not the best
to have, it must be an ALFRED mean
thing. 1t is also said that a person is
better after he has had them, and there
is no doubt that one feels much better
after having got nj of them. Many
distinguished persons have enjoyed
these hnbingers of health. Job took
the first premium at the County Fair
for having more achers under cultiva-
lion than any other person. Shak-
speare had them, and meant boils when
he said; 'One woe doth tread upon an
others heel, so fast they follow
There are great many remedies for
boils, most of which is well worth try
ng, because if they don't do any good,
hey don't hurt the boil. If a chap
yoss down street with boil, every man
ne meets will tell him of "a good thing
or it, among which are Shoemaker's
