THE BLUES CURE.
What tho Great Golden Remedy
Did for the Patients.

There was Water cure n Rest cule,
and Mind cure in the same town; but
all three together did not do half the
business of the Blues cure In fact,
those three establishments complained
bitterly that the Blues cure took away
many Of their patients. They did all
they could to crush 1t out; they de-
clared it to be a humbug, n mere quack
concern, with its mysterious 'Great
Golden Remedy"
In truth, there was mystery con-
nected with the Blues cure. 1t was in
one respect something like the Loisette
Memory system, for every patient had
to sign a bond that he would never re-
veal to anyone the secret of the "Great
Golden Remedy" But, in spite of this,
and the enmity of the other establish
ments, the Blues cure prospered ex-
traordinnrily, and people thronged to
it from far and near. The Blues cure
reer q case had never been lost.
The Blues cure office was q small,
sunshiny room opening from a large,
cheerful waiting room.
One fine October afternoon the clock
was just striking three as the doctor,
accompanied by patient, entered the
Office and closed the door behind him.
The doctor was jolly little man
with a bald head, and beaming smile
SO much like sunshine that on rainy
days his great black cat would stretch
herself out before him, as though she
were really warming herself in it's
beams.
The patient was tall, thin theo-
logue, with n lugubrious expression of
countenance, suitable for chronic at
tender of funerals.
The doctors style was laconic.
Whats the matter?" said he.

deep sigh that reused the black cat
from it's slunibers.
when do these attacks come on?'
said the doctor, looking at him with
half closed eyes, as an artist surveys
picture.

logue. II can't use my eyes then, and

"Oh, the most importa Mt and inter

animation that the black cat again
