A recent medical writer says: ''Sleep
wherever you can; in the cars-anywhere
when you can get chance; the great want
of the age is Sleep" This is not always safe
advice to follow, as a Lawrence gentleman
knows to his sorrow. He was recently affict-
ed with bad cold, and to cure himself Of
it, resorted to the method of bathing his feet
in warm water, and drinking tumbler full
of gin and molasses, prescribed by an aged
and respected friend of the family. Having
got everything in order for carrying out the
prescription, he sat down by the stove, his
pedal extremities immersed in warm water,
a tumbler of smoking gin and molasses by
his side. In this condition sense of enjoy
ment stole over him as he slipped the exhilar-
ating liquid, and be fell asleep. His wife had
gone to bed, and on awakening about three
O'Clock in the morning, wondered why she
was alone. Going down stairs, she was hor-
rified to find her liege lord asleep in his chair,
the fire out, his feet still immersed in the
water over which cake of ice was forming,
and an empty tumbler on the chair beside
him. His cold isn't bit better.

before the Prssbytery, at the stated meeting

it was not practicable before that body owing to
