Talking of patent medicines

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some OF
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lievc in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
egc,ytAang and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments OF patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money IN the
"stuH," you lose faith in e1e'y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
SO, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DIR. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favoritc Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sagc's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

the battle field of Balaklava while de-
voting yourself to the care of the
wounded. at Magenta you were
again wounded in the front line of
battle. After that you nursed our
warriors in Syria, in China and in
Mexico. At the battle of Reichshofen
you were carried from the field amid q
heap of slain cuirassiers. Later on a
bombshell fellin the midst of the ambu-
lance committed to your care. You
Immediately seized it and carried it
some eighty yardsawaySrom the ambu-
lance, where it fell to the ground and
by its explosion wounded you serious

Baron Stoclxmar relates that the pal
ace was in the charge of three sepa-
rate departments, each of which moved
along its own predestined track with
out any sort of unity or prearrange-
ment. 1t was not decided which parts
of the palace belonged respectively to
their control. In the time OF George
LII the lord stewart had tbs custody
of the whole palace excepting the roy
al apartments, drawing rooms, etc.
In the next two reigns it was held
that the whole of the ground floor,
including halls and dining rooms,
was in his charge At the beginning
of the present reign, the lord stewart
surrendered to the lord chamberlain
the grand hall and other rooms on the
ground floor, but il was a question
quite in the clouds to whom the juris-
diction of the kitchen, sculleries and
pantries belonged. The outside of the
palace pertained to the department of
the woods and forests.
One result of this arrangement was
that, while the lord chamberlain
could clean the inside of the windows,
he could not clean the outside, and
negotiations had to be carried on to
secure that the operations within and
without should be conducted at the
same time. The housekeepers, pages
and housemaids were under the au-
thority of the lord chamberlain |; the
footmen, livery porters and under but
lers under that of the master of the
horse, while the clerk of the kitchen,
the cooks and the porters were under
the jurisdiction of the lord stewart
1t was the duty of the lord stewart
to lay the fires and the lord chamber
lain to light them. The lord cham
berlain had to provide the lamps and
the lord stewart to keep them in or
der If pane of glass in the scullery
wanted mending requisition had to
be written and signed by the chief
cook; it was then countersigned by
the clerk of the kitchen, then taken to
be signed by the master of the house
hold, thence taken to the lord cham.
berlain, by whom it was authorized.
and finally laid before the clerk of
the works in the department of the
woods and forests. The authority of
the master of the household was en-
tirely unrecognized. The servants
went off duty whenever they liked,
while the dormitories, where ten or a
dozen footmen slept in the same room,
were the scene of smoking. drinking
and other irregularities. = Contempt
