Last June, Dick Crawford brought
his twelve months old child, suffer-
ing from infantile diarrhoea, to me.
1t had been weaned at four months
old and being sickly everything ran
through it like water through o
sieve. gave it the usual treat
ment in such cases but without ben
eft. The child kept growing thin
ner until it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten
pounds. then started the father
to giving Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Before one bottle of the % cent size
had been used, marked improve
ment was seen and its continued
use cured the child. Its weakness
and puny constitution disappeared
and its father and myself believe
the child's life was saved by this
Remedy. j. L. NARROW, NJ. D.,

The peculiar idea of punishment
held by some parents has never been
better exemplified than in story
told by W. r. LIE Fanu, the Irish
author. Speaking Of the factional
fights which were such a regular
feature Of life in the county he once
lived in, he goes on to say that just
after one of these fights at the fair
Of Abingdon, which he witnessed
from the opposite bank of the river
he saw an elderly man running
after a young fellow of two or three
and twenty, Every time he got
near he struck him on the head with
a blackthorn, and every blow he set
the blood streaming from his head.
At last the youth got beyond his
reach.
Why said Mr.. LIE Fanu to a
man standing near him, 'does that
young fellow let that old man beat
him in that savage way?'
'Ah, sure, your honor said he,
that's only his father that chastis-
ing him for fighting

Unfortunately, statistics are impossible
