The word Inhalation means simpl u the act OF
aspiring or drawing common air into the lungs

the other Il swallowed or taken into the stomach
This, then, Is what is meant by Med icAted lnhaia

The reader will observe that all medicines inhaled
into the lungs are not alike, any more than those
taken into the stomach, and hence the benefits TO
be derived from inhalation must always depend
upon the experience and skill OF the physician
who prescribes for them.
This explanation might have seemed unnecess-
ary but for the fact that some have received the
erroneous impress sion that inha lation, instead o.

BEING KIND TO A STRANGER.

Among the passengers in Psrlor car
on the Lake Shore Road the other day
was handsome woman, whose husband
shared the sea. with her and who would
have been picked out as quiet, sedate'
absent minded man. The seat opposite
was occupied BY aashily- dressed young
man, with q lady-killing twist to his
moustache, and he was considerably sur
prised when the husband handed him a
daily paper, with the remark:
"Have glance at the news. Plenty
of excitement around the country ] OBJ
serve" q. a..I.ra
The young man was busy with the pa
per for half an hour, and then the hus-
band offered him a popular magazine.
This entertained him for an hour, and he
had scarcely closed the book. when the
good man reached over with:
"Have cigar. These are prime Ha-
vanas, and know you will enjoy one."
The young man accepted with thanks.
and naturally made his way to the smok-
ing-car, where he put in nearly another
hour, but without the others company
When he returned he was greeted with :
Perhaps you'd like to look at the lat
est novel, Very entertaining. | assure
you"
He read until weary, and upon being
offered another cigar replied that he was
to leave the train at the next station, and
added:
81 want to thank you again for your
many courtesies."
"Oh, don't mention it."
"You never saw me before ~
"Never."
Don't know my name
"No."
Then tell me why you were so very
courteous to an entire stranger"
"Young man, will explain. In times
past when loafer sat and stared at my
wife as a steady job | got up at the end
of an hour and broke his neck. This
made me much trouble and expense, and
I changed my programme. ! now carry
books and cigars to bribe them. Had
you been going hundred miles further
/ should have offered you drink Of bra n.
dy, new puzzle, two more dailies and
another cigar, and my wife would have
secured quite rest"
"Sir. T."
"0h, it's all right-all right II was
cheaper than throwing you out Of the
window, and hope you'll get up to the
hotel safely. Good day, sir-glad to
have met you :"
And the young man with the lady-kill-
ing moustache and crockery colored eyes
and hair parted on an even keel pickle d
up his grip and walked out without being
certain wheather he had been mashed in
collision or pulverized under a land
roller.
