The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, gets a new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-poOr appetite, disordered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
first-anG so kept doing all alOng-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tolling Of
the bell. Clearly between tine two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it is called some other 'ine' in
place of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with a new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: why not try Humph-
rey'S Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen l tried them. They were sue
cess from the first and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease or drug pOis-
oning."

boys at the Central engine house noticed
the matter early in the evening and soon
came to the conclusion that il was simply
the exhaust steam from the heating appa-
ratus of the hotel, the heavy condition of
the atmosphere causing it to hang over the
house.
They, however, frequently kept their
eyes cast in that direction, ready for any
emergency. Many were the persons who
tried to impress on the tire laddies the I'M
