A Few Reasons Why All Should
Consult Reputable Physicians.

A Few Reasons Why All Should
Consult Reputable Physicians.
III, when a person feels in, he should
go at once 10 a physician. instead OF
poisoning his system with the hundred
and one remedies which friends are
only too eager TO recommend, he would
save lot Of money and run no risk Of
endangering his health"
This bit Of good advice was given to
a New York Mail and Express reporter
the other day by well known medical
man. He instanced case Of friend
who suffered unspeakable agony for
weeks with carbuncle on his hand
before he sought skilled advice. There
were so many things recommended 20
him that he had difficulty 10 make a
choice between them. One oiiicious
friend told him 20 take the heart OF an
onion and make poultice Of il. After
using up nearly n bushel Of onions he
found no relief. when another friend
suggested to him that IL he tried u
plaster OF soft soap and salt mixed it
would cure him in one night. He tried
Il and thought he would die before
morning. At the break OF the next
day he thought his hand would be burn
cd of from bathing the member in
boiling milk, the remedy presented by
some one else. Another told him TO
try n poulticc Of witch hazel, but he
found no relief. The last ''home rem
edy" he tried was recommended by an
old lady whose husband, she said, had
a carbuncle just like his, and this cured
him. II was to place the inside skin OF
an egg on the carbuncle and hold il in
place until dry. He tried it, but it
nearly unbalanced his mind. AT last
he sought doctor, who, upon close
examination, said Il ought to have been
lanced a week before, and suiting the
action of the word cut it open. He
felt immediate relief. and that night he
enjoyed sound sleep for the first time
In nearly three weeks.

A Kentucky Apology.

When man makes an apology there
is no use in doing it halfway. A citi-
zen of Breckenridge county, Ky, wrote
an article and published it in the Brock
inridge News. He was waited upon by
some of the persons to whom he had
made allusion, and in subsequent is
sue of the same paper he made the fol-
lowing retraction, which appears to
cover the whole ground: "Iu that arti-
clio made charges which are false and
malicious. OF this 1 am satisfied after
due reflection and examination. Said
article retract in toto, collectively and
individually, as premeditated. mali
cious falsehood. Also all former
charges made, verbal or written, derog-
atory to the character of the above
named gentlemen are withdrawn as
false and without any foundation. The
article was prompted by envy, malice
and selfishness to injure the good name
OF the above-named parties"
