In COoperstown they tell story of an
English joker who once visited Fenimort
Cooper. Cooper was then the most con
spicious man in the little town. One day,
while Mr.. Cooper was dining with the En-
glishman, he poured out some native wine
- wine from grapes raised in his own gar.
den. Taking up a glass and looking
through it with pride, Cooper remarked
Now, Mr.. Stebbins, call this good, hon
est wine" Yes, Mr.. Cooper, l agree
with you, it is honest wine-''poor, but
honest Mr.. Cooper went on telling his
''lnjun" stories.

Of nudity. Doggeries were visited b.

A WRONG CUSTOM CORRECTED,

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint and both the mineral and vege-
table Kingdoms have been diligently
searched to procare the most drastic and
poisonous purgatives, in order to produce
powerful effect upon the liver, and arouse
the tagging and enfeebled organ. This
system of treatment is on the same princi-
pie as that of giving a weak and debilitated
man large portions of brandy to enable
him to do a certain amount of work
When the stimulant is withheld, the or
gan, like the system, gradually relapses in
to a more torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition than before What then is want
ed? Medicines, that, while they cause
the bile to flow freely from the liver, as
that organ is toned into action, will moi
overwork and thus debilitate it, but will
when their use is discontinued, leave The
liver strengthened and healthy.
