Doctors disagree. They
have to. There are differ
ences of opinion among the
best; there will be so long
as knowledge is incomplete.
But there is one subject
on which all physicians are
completely in accord, and
that is the value of cod-liver
oil in consumption and scro-
fula, and many other condi-
tons in which the loss of fat
is involved. And cod-liver
oil has its greatest usefulness
in SCOTS Emulsion.
There is an interesting

A Dlacksmith's Achievements.

Elihu Burritt's father was a shoe
maker, but the future linguist and re-
former was bound out to learn the black
smiths trade. He had an instructive
attraction for the study of language, and
often watched his forge with one eye
and Greek grammar with the other.
Almost unaided, and in moments stolen
from work or sleep, he learned Greek,
Latin and French in his native town and
attacked Hebrew. Icelandic was mas
tered ere long and some translations made
from the sagas. The modern languages
easily succumbed to his omnivorous lin
guistic appetite, and soon we find him
deep in the mysteries of Sanskrit. APP
pearing before audiences from time to
time, his fame as a lecturer grew. He
voyaged to England and made many adj
dresses, and took his celebrated walks
through the island. His experiences are
interestingly set forth in his books,
"Walk from London to John OGroat's, !"
"Walk from London to Lands End and
Back" etc.

Perfectly Clear.

In Doctor Persons description of life
in the southwest as he saw it many years
ago-"before the war'-he speaks often
of the peculiar turns of speech there
prevalent. He was once present at an
ecclesiastical meeting, where motions
were piled upon each other until mat
tegs were in frightful muddle. Final
y the moderator was appealed to for a
decision.
He rose from his seat, as became pre-
siding officer thus appealed to, and lift
ing his lank form till his head was
among the rafters of the low school
house he hesitated moment and then
said:
Brethren, my decision is that you are
all ahead of the hounds"
Doctor Pierson confesses that he did
not fully comprehend the meaning OF
the words, but he could not help seeing
that the decision was perfectly clear and
satisfactory to the assembly.
