Yes. indeed l am.
Dc you have headache?
Almost daily-and such a feeling of
WEAKNESS. | am almost discouraged.
1 know what is the matter with you,
and | can cure you.
What do you mean? You are not a
doctor!
No: but | have had the same feelings
and l know a remedy have 1t here in my
vest pocket.
What is 1t?
Never mind. Get a glass of water.
Well, now-what next?
Put this thing under your tongue.
Under my tongue! What is that for?
Am not to swallow 1t?
Do as l say. Is 1t under your tongue?
Yes.
Now take a full swallow of water.
Don't drink, but fill your mouth.
Er-er-er.
Now swallow the water.
Well, I've done that. What next?
Let me see the thing l gave you.
It's gone. l must have swallowed 1t.
l never could swallow anything, though.
What was it? l don't see how 1t hap
pened. Why do you put 1t under the
tongue?
You say that you never could swallow
anything. and yet you swallowed that.
Isn't the result a sufficient reason for the
methodP
Perhaps! buJ what is 1t?
Do you feel any effect?
l, feels kind o'warm.
Not unpleasontly so?
Oh. no! Rather good.
You don't feel any better, do you?
| positively believe that my headache
is gone. What is the thing you gave me,
any way?
Have you seen an advertisement in the
papers of something called R-i-p-a-n-s
TABULEs?
l think | have.
Well. that was a R-i-p-a-n-s TABULE.
Where can you get them?
They will get them for you at the drug
store if you insist upon it., or you can
write to the address given in the adver-
tisement and they will send them to you
by mail. | keep them by me all the
time, and mother thinks them wonder
full. The worst thing about them is the
way they are put up. 1t is so conven-
lent to give them away that very soon
the stock is exhausted. You see that
little bottle? There were six In 1t. |

another; now there are four left. You
may keep the bottle. The price was 10
cents, but for 50 you get "a bottles, and
that don't seem so dear, does it?
Just a little more than a cent apiece.
It's cheaper than soda water or cara
mels. They are not exactly cOnfectio-
nary, but they act like a charm, and the
doctor says that they are Gin a new fOrm)
about the same thing that he has been
giving us almost every time he has been
called in since I was born.
He charges two dollars a visit, don't
he?
Two the first visit, one afterwards.
Those things cost less than two cents.
They are cheaper and seem to answer the
same purpose? 52;20-w.

Where the Opposition Comes From.
The opposition to the expenditure Of
money to make better roads does not
come from the cities, which would have
to pay nearly all the expense, but from
the farmers. Both country and city
would be greatly benefited by improved
roads, and each should bear its share Of
thu burden of taxation. - +selected.
