RESORTS.

Puck says "Tbe white man who drives .
coal cart has to resort to soap and water, just
as does negro who has spent the day in white
Washing"
But the most strange things Of all are usually
resorted TO when man gets sick,
or course he doesn't want doctor-at least
not ut first He usually goes to the so.called
saloon and gets drink, which makes him feel
rather duzed, 50 he takes another, and comes
home temporarily elated, supposiDg himself
cured.
When i,c wakes next morning, with . head
ache twice ~ bad as ever, and feeling feverish
and cross, lie concludes he will have to try
something else.
He takes dose Of whatever he happens to
have in the louse-some liver renovator, kidney
evaporator. or heart enlarger-and sets forth
saying IL be isn't better to morrow he will send
for the doctor.
Next morning he is sick in bed the doctor
is called, shakes his head. prescribes two or
three kinds Of -aedecine, according to his med
ical cre.d but always insists upon perfect
quiet, and that the patient must not go to his
Office for two weeks. or the result will be serious.
He does, in truth, lie III bed for u week or
ten days. his recovery retarded by multitude
of remedies, aud the knowledge that his busi-
ness is going To ruin in his absence. When he
does drag out at last, he finds that the family
must deny themselves everything but the COM
mon necef sites Of life for some time to come,
in order that the doctors bill may be paid, and
repairs made in the business
Now the proper thing for this man to have
done was to have bought bottle OF New Style,
Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, the moment
he felt the first headache, aud to have taken
two tablespoonfuls at once. Two or three half
doses. two days apart, after the first dose had
taken effect. would have cured him and pre-
vented his illness, and his consequent hnan-
cial loss.
The man did not know this. or, as Bee cher
would have said, his foresight WAS not so good
as his hindsight Another time. this man will
know Just what to do to save pain, time and
money
