My experience with Pulque in chronic diseases

with that dread disease, consumption not much
thought was given to her, except something to re-
lieve her cough, which was very troublesome. Al
ter the mothers death, however, 1t became eyi,
dent that unless something could be done to build
up her failing strength and the disease which was
SO insidiously preyng upon her constitution could
be arrested, she must follow her brother ano sis
ter. Her bowels bloated badly. she had bad
cough, severe night sweats, and diarrhoea. AL.
though the family physician did his best, and
many prescriptions from eminent consulting ply
sicians used she continued to fail, and medicines
disagreeing with her stomach were discontinued
She.was unable to sit up or be dressed, and her
eyes were SO weak she could not bear the light;
This was her condition when physician advised
the use Of Mexican Pulque. We commenced its
use without much faith as to any beneficial re-
suits, However, in a short time she began to i'm
prove, and the improvement continued until now
She Is fat and rosy, sings and plays about and has
a good appetite We know Pulque has produced
the result referred to above, as it was the only
medicine used after she began to take it. Ihave
used Pulque and been benefited by it. We fully
believe in the wonderful curative properties Of
Pulque and recommend it to all suffering from
wasting diseases. Respectfully yours,

Ine sregaIomaniac.

There Is an immensity OF trick in
all that Shakespeare wrote, said Words
worth TO Charles Lamb. why, i
could write as well rs Shakespeare my
self il ! only had the mind 10. ''Yes,"
wittily replied Lamb. "all you lack Is
the mind. Wordsworth was mcgal-
omaniac. II Is said that he believed
his doggerel poem, Peter Bell" was
rs good as his Incompatible lode on
the Intimations Of Immortality" Like
many others he was incapable Of judg-
ing his own work.
Every editor receives countless con-
tributions from contributors who are
megalomaniacs. laboring under the
delusion that they are great. Their
articles are without originality. negli-
gent Of all grammatical restraints. and
radically independent Of the spelling

write; and thousands Of editorp' re-

manuscripts cannot undeceiye them.

Mr.. John March. an intelligent far
mer Of White Oak Springs, Ill. has
discovered plan which he thinks will
do away with the necessity OF dehorn-
ing cattle. He has conceived the idea
that the application of certain
chemical substance to the germ Of the
horn soon after the birth Of the calf will
prevent the growth of the horn. and
that no horn will ever appear. He has
tried the experiment on fourteen
calves this spring. Some Of them are
now over two months old and no horn
