find out how he was going to use it.
Mr.. Speck said Eyes, we got mott

the money was at the Sioux Falls Ma

we put in. That gave us ST. $50 apiece.

A Few Words About the Permanent Re-
moval of the Causes Producing Them.
As is the state of the stomach, so
will be its index, the throat and the
back part of the tongue. If the one
is inflamed, has red and angry
patches, the other will have similar
looks, and, if much canker is pres
ent, we may look for the "straw-
berry tongue" cracked. spotted and
angry, with a thin, white coating, or,
in some eases, the coating removed,
and the whole tongue red and angry
raw. In this case, gargle the throat
with alum-water. borax-water, as
often as convenient, avoiding the use
of the irlitants and improve tie state
of the stomach-the cause-by the
use of plain and simple food, taken
only at meal times. Great relief is
obtained by conducting off the local
heat by the wet cloths worn at night,
and still more by producing an irrita-
ton on the surface-by adding mus
tard, or, still better and more thor
ough and comfortable, cayenne pep
per, thin coat sprinkled on, the
whole well covered by dry fanhes
But remember that the real difficulty
is at the stomach, and that care of
that will remove the disease. The
same irritation at the "pit of the
stomach" will be serviceable.
There is u more putrid form,

reach the lungs. This form Is found
among the scrofulous, or those who
