THE FAT MEMS coNvENT1oN.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason.
10 the conyening of baby show. but we
could never see the slightest cause, rea
sonable or otherwise, for fat mans con-
veution. unless it be the fact that misery
loves company. For fifty or hundred
men, whose several weights range from
two hundred to three hundred pounds, to
hold a convention simply because of SO
much surplus avoirdupois. is absurd to cay
the least. Ii becomes doubly SO when we
reflect that obesity is a disease. What
would we think Of as many persons enact
ated by consumption holding convention
to compare their relative weights. There
is but one ground upon which we would
advocate another fat mems convention. and
that is that they will meet to discuss the
merits of Allan's Anti.Fat, the only known
remedy for obesity. 1t is safe and reliable.

came to light not long since, which is
thus related: Going into neighoor's
house. one day last week, found one
of the children suffering from severe
cough, and expressed my opinion that
it was case in which medical assis
lance should be obtained. The moth
er of the boy agreed that it was very
bad, but before calling i'll a docter
she intended to try a cure that she had
long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to
communicate the prescription. she
gravely informed me that the charm
consisted in Hale's Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar, and that it could be
obtained of all the druggists, Price
