She told him that if any disease that

and was to be chronic. she felt AS though
he would be II burden to himself if he
lived long. She got his clothes of,
soaked his feet in mustard water, and
he slept. The hat was lying on the
center table, and the children would
come IN and get smell of it and look
at each other with reproachful glances
and go out and play. The man slept
and dreamed that smallpox flag was
hung in front of his house, ana that he
was riding in u butcher wagon to the

hat was picked before it was ripe. The
doctor and the wife held n post-mortem

to be made, the doctor asked him if his
worldly affairs were arranged in sat

said they were. The doctor asked hlm
if he had made his will. He said that
he had not, but he wanted lawyer

had always tried to lead "A different life,
and had tried to be done by the same

might have made mistake some way,
and that he would like to have minis

Then the doctor brought to the bed
side the hat, opened up the sweat leath-
er and showed the dying man what it
was that smelled SO, and told him he
was as well as any man in the city. The
patient pinched himself to see if he
was alive, and jumped out OF bed and
called for his revolver, and the doctor
couldn't keep up with him on TIE way
down town. The last we saw of the
odoriferous citizen he was trying to
bride the bartender to tell him which

CUT THIS OUT AND SAVE IT.-A cor.
respondent writes to an exchange as
follows, about the leaves of we'll known
plant:
Il have discovered remedy for con.
1t has cured number of
cases after they commenced bleeding
at the lungs and the hectic flash was
already on the cheek. After trying
this remedy to my own satisfaction,
have thought philanthropy required
that | should let it be known to the
Aorld. 1t is the common mullen,
stepped strongly and sweetenea with
coffee sugar, and drank freely. Young
or old plants are good, dried in the
shade and kept in clean bags. The
medicine must be continued from three
to six months, according to the nature
of the disease. 1t is very good for the |
blood vessels, also. 1t builds up and !
strengthens the system, instead OF tax
ing away the strength. 1t makes good
blood, and takes Inflammation away
from the lungs"
1t Ia the wish of the writer that every
periodical in the Uulted States, Canada
and Europe, should publish this recipe
for the benefit of tho human family.
