A Ribbon

In one of the London hospitals, about a
year ago, an assistant surgeon became in
terested in one of the patients, poor child
of ten, suffering from hip disease. She lay
day after day in her little white cot with
nothing to occupy her thoughts but her pain
The young surgeon saw her one day irving
to make a doll of her finger, playing with it,
and at last, giving 1t up with weary sigh,
turning to watch the sunlight creeping over
her bed, as she had done for months That
afternoon the doctor, passing a shop. bought
long, soft ribbon, of an exquisite rose-color,
and gave it to little katey, She was breath
less with pleasure, smoothed it out and tied
ii up. soft and shining, in the sun, and looked
at her friend speechless with tears of
ecstacv. From that time she was rich. The
nurse told the doctor, week later, that the
child PLAYED with the ribbon all day, twisted
it about her head, playing that she was a
bride, princess, a fairy held it in her hand
while she slept, and laid it, folded in paper,
under her pillow at night.
1t was found necessary after two months
to perform capital operation on the child,
one which if uncessful is fatal. 1t was done
by two of the foremost surgeons in London.
When the poor little sufferer was laid upon
the table, she cried for DIR S.. Gle is all
the friend have" she sobbed.
''Send for him." said the surgeon, and the
young assistant, bushing furousy, was
brought in. He held one of Katey's hands
the other was clerched tightly over a pink
roll which dropped from her grasp during
the operation. When the effect of the ether
passed, she opened her eyes and looked al
DR.. s..
INV ribbon" she whispered. He gave il
TO her, while the surgeons and nurses stood
gravely silent, The operation had been un.
successful. But little Katev smiled happily
into the face of her friend. and hugging the
faded bit of silk fell asleep forever. 1t was
but trifing gift, yet it Frightened the
child's last days with thoughts of beauty and
pleasure and loving kindness.-From tn.

Eczema!

For the benefit of suffering humanity. and in heart.
felt gratitude at the wonderful result. deem 1t only
my duty to give this unsolicited testimony in favor
of Swift's Specific. Ny wife has been afflicted with
hereditary Eczema salt Rheum from her infancy.
II has increased in intensity with each succeeding
spring. and being somewhat skilled in medicine my
self ! tried every remedy could think of for years
-Sarsaparila comb ned with every form of Poassi9,
and hundreds of other remedies. lotions and alkali
washes OF every known kind, but they all gave only
temporary relief During the spring of 1884 her lower
extremiii,s became intiamed and that she
obliged to Keep them c. instantly coated with
ering OF "Fuiltrs Earth, mixed wet and allowed to
dry on. Among other things, she was afflicted with
periodical nervous heaache occurring regularly every
seven VS. sometimes followed by an intermittent
fever tor weeks at timc. so that her lite became
burden to her
and follow strictly the directions in regard to do
diet, etc. This WAS about seven weeks ago. After
taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to
increase; the burning itching and inflammation be-
came unb. arabic she, however persevered in the
use OF the medicine. After taking the second bottle
the Inflammation began to subside After the third
bottle the inflammation disappeared, and sore spots
dried up and turned white and scay, and finally she
brushed them off in an impapable white powder re-
@mbling pure salt. She Is now taking the sixth
bottle, three tablespoonful four times daily. Every
appearance OF the disease has gone, and her flesh
becoming soft. white and smooth again; and what
IL more her periodical headaches have disappeared
and she ia SO years of age ENJOYING the only
good health she has known for upwards of 10 years.
No wonder she declares with emphasis that every
bottle of s. :. =. is worth thousand times its weight
in gold.
