How to Clean a Plaster Cast.

A correspondent of leading scientific
journal states that bust or statute can
be most thoroughly cleaned, provided it
has not been painted, oiled or waxed, by
inverting it and filing Z. with water free
from iron. The water is then allowed to
filter through the plaster. After the
filtering has been kept up for sufficient
time, and the outside surface occasionally
washed with water and soft brush, the
plaster is allowed to dry. 1t Is then
found that all the dust has been washed
out of the pores of the cast, which is
thus restored to its original whiteness.-

PAYING oFF THE aRooEr.

Doctor Barrowby was canvassing for
the post of one of the physicians to
Bartholomew Hospital. With view
to obtaining the vote of certain influ-
ential grocer, he called upon him, and
found him bursting with Importance as
he strutted up and down his shop. With
a mixture of insolent patronage and in
sulting familiarity, he slowly approached
the Doctor, and said;
swell, my friend, what is your busi-
ness2"
Barrowby paused, looked him straight
in the face, and said:
81 want pound of plums."
Greatly confused, the grocer put up
the plums, whereupon the Doctor put
them in his pocket and marched off
without asking him for his vote.-IId

ed boys. Life is an interrogation

tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduce
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR p AS easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia 1t is special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this! The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. y

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
.ional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
Eustachan Tube When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
