BITS OF ADVICE.

her heart would like to break, over,
of all queer things IN this queer world,

Louie's great trouble in life is the
fact that she happens to have a long

fancy that, between them, her man.

for her foot, which she wants to look
like Mamie DeLancy's. But mamma
always insists that her little daugh-

trife longer than the foot Gin Louie's
opinion already too long). that the
heel shall be low and broad, and that
the shoe shall fit very nicely, but not
cramp any part of the foot so tightly
that the blood shall not have full
flow.
The shoemaker takes great pains to
carry out instructions. Louie's idea
is that very short, very tight little
shoe, with very high heels, would
make her look stylish. She would mo-

GRACIE'S FIRST SORROW.

think that little boys and girls
are usually fond of hearing true
stories, so if you will be very quiet
and listen l will give you one very
much as it was told me.
Many weeks since, before the grass
was green or the roses had commenc-
ed to bloom, there flew into tree,
very near our neighbours house,
bright bird. Little Grace, who was
looking out of the window exclaimed:
ooh, there's robin it's NINE, it's
mine !''
Soon the bird alighted near the
house, so near that Gracie's nurse
caught it. 1t was little green par
rot; and as they had no cage, where
do you suppose they put it? Under
the colander! Was not that a funny
home for bird?
Nobody inquired for the stranger
or seemed to care for it, SO Gracle
and her little brother had it for theil
own. When the days were fine the
cage was hung out of doors. think
none of you could say that the par
rot's voice was sweet, but that was
his way of singing.
After awhile a friend was Wis
iting Gracie's mother, and the chill
dren, too. 1t was just commencing
to talk, to say "Mamma," "Prett.

My cough was almost without cessation. raised
matter from my lungs in large quantities, and 1
had all the other well-known symptoms of the
disease. I took many remedies without benefit.
In September went to see DR.. Schenck, and soon
after began to use his full course of medicines.

Dear Sir II wish to tell you what your medi-
cines have done for me, because believe that
many lives may be saved by my doing SO.
slready know of one who has been Influenced by
me to use them, after having been told by several
physicians that her case was hopeless.
But to my own case. In the year 1875 was at
tackled with Inflammation of the Lungs, the result
of heavy cold. 1t was severe attack, and
grew worse very fast. Among my friends it was
reported that had quick Consumption. had
continual cough from the first, and soon began to
raise large quantities of phlegm and matter from
my lungs. lost my appetite, and, of course, soon
grew very weak-so weak that was obliged to go
to bed. Weakness brought ON night-sweats, and
lack of nourishment great loss of flesh. In six
weeks lost over thirty pounds. All this time l
was taking the medicines of two of Albanys best
physicians. do not wish to blame them, but
do not think that they had made such study
of lung diseases is necessary to treat so serious
a case as mine was. At the end of these six weeks
lost faith in everything; was satisfied that my
time had come, and so told my doctors.
Then, as is usual, after all else had been tried,
some one suggested your medicines, and l, neither
expecting or hoping for relief, began TO use them
the PuImonic Syrup and Seaweed Ionic. In two
weeks was so mucn Delter lndG got up iioll Deu
and went down town; and in four weeks felt
well. In the next three months 1 gained over
thirty pounds of flesh, and am very happy TO
saw that 1 have been well man ever since my
recovery, which consider is entirely due to you.
I shall be pleased to see any one who may be
interested in my case or Will gladly answer letters

Dear Sir:-In the month Of December, 1880,
took heavy cold, which finally terminated
in Pneumonia. My lungs were soon very much
weakened by the strain of my cough, which was
almost without cessation. 1 had severe pain in
my side and back and between my shoulders; my
breathing was quick and there was great oppres-
sion on my chest. 1 could not lie down without
coughing. at this time my physician told me that
l had Consumption. 1 raised large quantities of
matter and had several severe hemorrhages. /

coughing spells. My breathing at all times was
easier. had no more hemorrhageS and after I
had taken the medicines for some time, 1 got so
much better that could walk a few rods from the
door. j am now well, but yet my lungs are weak,
and am told by the physicians who first attended
me, that part of one lung is gone, but that the
cavities are now healed. They also say that your
medicines have wrought wonders for me. Doctor,

if any one who is afflicted will call on me, will

The teeth should be cleaned just

If this is not done regularly particles
of food will lodge IN them and thus
cause decay, and the breath will not
