One morning I went to call on a
Swedish acquaintance and found her
doctor with her. He was merely pay
ing complimentary visit, as his SER
vices was not required. Ilearned that
an arrangement is made with the med
ical man small sum of 95 or 96 a
year contents him, and for that he at
tends the whole family, however often
they may happen to be i'll. The diff
Guilty seems to get hold of him quickly
enough In an urgent case !; for if he has
gone on his rounds he finishes every
visit before he goes to his new patient.
A lady with whose relatives was slight
ly acquainted had husband who had
always very delicate health, and upon
one occasion, when they were staying
with her, ht was seized with a sharp
attack connected with heart COM
plant. They urged her to send at
once for the doctor. but she only used
some simple remedies, because she said
she had just dismissed her usual medi-
cal attendant, and had made no fresh
arrangement with anybody else, so that
she could not ask any one to come to
her assistance. A poor lady while I
was there lost child from water on the
brain, and she sat by it for hours in the
most terrible anxiety, waiting the doc
tors time for coming. To people ae-
customed to command prompt advice
in illness, Stockholm, or, indeed, Sweed-
en-, would not seem to be a desirable
place to be attacked in.-Ien1pte Bar
Feeling is much slower sense than
sight. If a man had an arm long
enough to reach the sun, and were to
touch that body with the tip of his fin
gel, he would never find out whether it
we're hot or cold, as he would be dead
before the sensation arrived at head
quarters, which would require one hun
dred years.

DRows1NEss AFTER EATING. MANY
persons feel more or less drowsiness afte,
eating. A full and hearty, although not
excessive MEALS almost irresistible. This
is caused by the stomach and liver attract
ing to themselves, in order to carry on the
work in hand, an amount of blood which
would otherwise have gone to nourish the
brain, and to maintain its functions-na-
ture, deciding that the business of diges-
ton, when there is food in the stomach to
digest, is more important for the time be
ing than any other business whatever
Nevertheless, for many reasons, the heay-
mess after eating is announcement and unde
sirable. But it may always be relieved by
the use OF pure tonic stimulant, such as
Dr. Gottlieb Fisch's Bitters. This spurs
on the system to do double work, till the
system then repays itself kberally out of
the newly secured fund of nourishment
