About kissing.

1t is not considered q la mode for
a lady to bestow kiss upon one of
the rougher sex, except in leap year,
when, according to theory, if not to
the uses of strict etiquette and pro-
priety, we are told it is excusable.
Our fair friends, however, with one
or two exceptions, are not by any
means without partiality for this
method of salutation, and we have
heard young gentlemen loud in
their complaints of ladies
kissing babies and each other in the
presence of gentlemen, who long
themselves to be so favored. 1t is
Moore, we think, who sings thus:
81 never give a kiss, says Prue,
''To naughty man, for abhor ii"
She will not give kiss, It's true
She'll take one, though, and thank you
for it
The only animal that knows how
to kiss is man. Dogs lick their
masters and bears their ragged cubs,
while donkeys and the Esquimaux
rub noses, COWS and horses fondle
each others necks and heads; love
birds, pigeons and other birds nestle
together and have methods of their
own of showing their affection pc
culiar to each, but none of these
creatures ever kiss. Even low class
savages do not kiss like civilized
men; so that we may take this habit
and function to be an actual evidence
of intellect and civilization, which
is pleasant idea at any rate.

in the blood. I remained great sufferer for sew
eral years, until heard of and consulted physi-
can, who said had the ecrofulous humor, and if
l would allow him TO doctor me he would cure me-

and succeeded in efecting an external cure; but
in 8 short time the disease appeared again in
worse form than ever. as cancerOus humor upon
my lungs, throat and head. l suffered the most
and my friends thought must soon die, when my
attention was called while reading a newspaper
to a VEGETINE testimonial of Mrs. Waterhouse

merly residing in South Boston and being person

feeble health, concluded I would try the Vege-

VEGETTNE.

The range of disorders which yield to the infiu-
ence of this medicine and the number of defined
diseases which it never fails to cure, are greater
than any other single medicine has hitherto been
even recommended for by any other than the pro-
prietors Of some quack nostrum. tThese diseases
are Scrofula and all eruptive diseases and tumors
Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia and Spinal Com
plants and all Infammatory symptoms, Ulcers,
all Syphilitic diseases, Kidney and Bladder dis
eases, pTopsy, the whole train of painful disOr-
ders which so generally affict American women
and which carry annually thousands of them to
premature graves; Dyspepsia, that universal
curse of American manhood; Heartburn, Piles,
Constipation, Nervousness, inability to sleep, and
impure blood.
This is formidable list of human ailments for
any single medicine to successfully attack, and
1t is not probable that any one article, before the
public has the power to cure the quarter of them,
except Vegetine. 1t lays the axe at the root Of
the tree of disease by first eliminating every i'm
purity from the blood, promoting the secrehons,
opening the pores the great escape valves of the

natural action, cleansing the stomach and
Strengthening digestion. This much accomplished,
the speedy and permanent cure Of not only the
diseases we have enumerated, but likewise the
whole train of chronic and constitutional disor-
ders, is certain to follow This is precisely what
Vegetine does, and it does 1t 30 quickly and SO
easily that it is an accomplished fact almost be-
fore the patient is aware of it himself.

the guest; "business is business, and

They appear to enjoy the contact
only when the feet are naked; they
don't attempt to make it when they
are socked or slippered. So the rem.
edy is obvious; keep the baby's feet
covered. Knock-knees the doctor
ascribes to a different childish habit,
that of sleeping on the side, with
one knee tucked under the hollow
behind the other. He has found
that where one leg has been bowed
inward more than the other the pa.
tient has always slept on one side
and the uppermost member has been
the most deformed. Here the pre-
ventive is to pad the inside of the
knees, so as to keep them apart, and
let the limbs grow freely their OWL

to mothers who would have physica
