SLAVES OF QUiNlNE.

who strolled in.
Just watch this customer" he said.
The man was very thin and cadaver-
GUS looking. Without saying a word
he walked up to the soda fountain. and
the boy drew out a pill box. poured
three pills into the palm of the custom

in front of him, and turned to the next
customer. The tall man swallowed the
pills. drank the water, turned On his

pleasant nod to the proprietor.

land before long it will kill him. He
started to take one five-grain pill every
night about six months ago; he now
takes fifteen grains night before he
goes home, so that it will brace
him up for his dinner. Within u
month he will be taking twenty grains
a night. OF course he takes it at home
besides what he gets here. I've gone
out OF my way three or four times to
explain to him that he had a good deal
better drink rum. even If he is deacon
in church, but his answer ia q simple

well, to be accurate, we have only
three men who come in every day and
pay at the end of the week, but there
are many others who take their quinine
as regularly as most drinking folks
take their whisky. 1t is certainly a
great temptation to weakly organized
and frail people. All they have to do
i to swallow pill or two, and they
feel robust. wide awake and cheerful.
The practice grows on them continu-
ally, and it seems to be spreading, for
our sales of quinine are constantly
growing. A good proportion of the
custom comes from women who grow
or weary while shopping. and
who. instead ofbuying nutritious lunch
