LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

A very considerable share of sick
ness is derived from needless apprehen
sions. Persons become frightened abou
themselves, fall into morbid, nervon
condition, plague the doctors iuto dos
ing them, or if they won't give then
anything, set them down for bad advis
ers, and then take the rounds of quac
remedies till at last they become reall,
eased. A hals-way knowledge O
medical matters is more likely to Pre-
mote such folly than absolute Ignorance.
The reading Of medical work is, 70,

They can readily have every disease a
they go along, particularly if they Sc
ab out to examine themselves, and cross
question symptoms before the looking
glass at the end of each chapter.
will take very strong minded man t,
avoid making fool of himself unde.
such circumstances. Some otherwise
excellent and sensible people take /.
morbid pleasure in learning all the par
ticulars of every case of sickness in the
neighborhood, especially if it has bee,
aggravated, or fatal, or peculiar, and
then scare themselves into night sweats,
with presentimen's that they will suff;t,
the same. A few palpitatlons, or fain,
ing turns, a cough, or getting out o,
breath going up stairs, or sharp pair
across the chest, will put one in miser,
for years. Probably half the com,
munity are secretly persuaded that they
are labenng under fatal disease. The
cheapest way of settling the mind is t..
go to an insurance Office where medi
cal opinion is given gratis. The best
way is to let well enough alone. Hav,
nothing to do with medical science ex
cept that part which relates to the rules
OF life. Keep a good conscience, be at
peace with all men and with God
Then, If sudden death come. you are
ready, or if disease seem to threaten, a
Judlcious physicians advice is better to
trust In than your own whims or pre-
Sc ntiments, which, nine cases out Of

A*cAasFUL GIRL.

yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of
