Messrs. J. l . Case & Co., constituting in

Because the penalties of physiological
laws are not executed speedily, some fancy
they are void. But when the system breaks
down, and almost hopeless complications
arise, which the family physician, by reason
of his limited experience, fails to relieve,
the pertinency of the above inquiry is ap-
parent. Many remedies have been specially
prepared for these cases, and many phys

The next Saturday was oply two DAYS

The next Saturday was only two days
before Christmas, and how beautiful
were all the stores on the village street!
Even the groceries had Christmas toys
and Christmas trees. A good many
boys and girls stood around the store
windows pointing out the things they
most admired, and wondered what Santa
Claus would bring them. Jack had
fifteen quails, which brought him thirty
cents; so he was now the owner of half
dollar, which was more money than
he had ever possessed in all his life be-
fore. But when two dolls we're bought
and they wern't very fine dolls either,
there We're only twenty cents left. Jack
did mean to by something for his
mother too, but he had to give that up,
and after looking over the bright colOred
toy books in the showcase, he selected
two little primers, one with pink cover
and one with a blue one, and with big
ache in his throat, parted with his last
ten cents for candy. How very, very
little he was buying after all, and not
one thing for his dear mother who had
sat up till two o'clock the night before,
mending his ragged clothes for him.
Jacks heart was very heavy as he
walked out Of the gay store with such a
little package, but it sank still lower
when his fathers tall form doomed up
suddenly before him right in front Of
the door.
What are you doing here?" he
asked sternly.
Been buying few things" said
Jack.
Let me see en-" said his father.
Jack tremblingly opened his package.
Where did you get the money"
With quails,' said Jack meekly,
His father fumbled over the things
with his big, mittened hand, and said
quite gently: " For the girls, I s'pose."
eyes, SIR" answered Jack, beginning
to feel relieved.
"Well, run along home"
Jack was only too happy to do so.
There wasn't much sympathy between
him and his father, nor indeed, between
his father and any one Of the family
that is, there didn't seem to be; but l
guess the stream was frozen over, and
only needed few CLEANS of sunshine to
make it bubble on, laughing and gurg-
ling as in the best of hearts.
Jack related his adventures to his
mother in whispers, and hid the Christ
mas articles in the wash-boiler until
such time as they should be wanted
for certain small stockings. He told
his mother how sOrry he WAS not to- have

The Antecedents OF Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease
arc inertness in the circulation Of tho
blood, an unnaturally attcnuated con>
dition OF the physique, indicating that
the life current is deficient in nutri-
tive properties, a wan, haggard look,
inability to digest the food, loss of ap~
petitee, sleep and strength, and q sen
sation Of unnatural langour. All these
may be regarded as among the indi-
cia Of approaching disease, which
will evidently attack the system and
overwhelm it, if it is not built up ard
fortified in advance. In7igorate, then
