The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-12-29

For one l would escape from the city
and live i'll tent for years rather than
yield to compulsory vaccination.
But let us return to Fillay. I arrived
in time to find her alive and still hope
full. She knew me and tried to bite me,
but was too weak.
A neighbor told me that enlargement
of, the tonsils was what was carrying
eff our Fillay dc BifF. I got sympathetic
friends to help me open her clinched
teeth, and then 1 held down her tongue
with fire shovel while 1 peered down
the long vista 1t was come time before
could get her to say "Ah!" SO that
might see her throat, but ut last got
fieoting view of it by candlelight.
You can often relieve this sort of in
flammation by administering powder,
The Cow Physician" says, volume /.
This powder contains potash and other
groceries of searching and purifying
character. 1t cannot be administered,
however, to COW or other dumb brute
III the ordinary way or as gargle, for
COW knows comparatively nothing ut all
about handling gargle that has no
string to it.
So you have to blow the powder into
her throat by means of n hollow tube or
tin horn. / prepared the powder and
then secured the handle of an old tin
dipper about II inches in length. I was
willing to make most any sacrifice rath-
CT than sec our fuvorite pass on to spirit
life.
Loving hands pried open the set Jaws
of Fillay, ard | stood near with inflat-
ed lungs and a dipper handle full of
powdered bcrax, alum, lime, cement,
potash, snuff, saleratus and ''roZzum. ("
shcr jaws stood ajar for a brief moment
L improved the opportunity and blew
down her throat about nine ounces of
stuff, but I did not dream that she
would retaliatc before I could remove
tho tin dipper handle.
The powder ticklcd her pharynx, or
whatever it is, and also irritated the
opiglottis SO that instantly 1 heard Il
cough like that of a geyser, and before 1
could calculate the remark "Scat =" my
chest measurement was 1873 inches, and
every air cell under my vest contained
some of that powder. never felt more
chaSrincd perhaps in my life Fillay dc
BIZ began ut once to mend, but have
tonsilitis enough for n foundling asylum,
ard my l:'gs have been stretched SO
that when IN indoors no one else can
get air enough to breathe have to
spend the day ont of doors, and at night
sleep i'll hammock on tho porch,
whittier people often como from dis
lance to sec mo breathe.
When COW who has never reduced
her chest measurement by lacing or in
any way changed her natural figure by
artificial means suddenly decides to
cough, the wise and thoughtful husband
nun will do we'll to step aside till the
danger is past. A COW does not cough
merely to Kill time, or to give herself a
chance to think of reply, or to attract
attention. She coughs because it is alb
solutely unavoidable and spontaneous.
She does hot do it to excite sympathy
and get summer at tho seaside. She
does it from the bottom of her heart and
according TO her lights. If the reader
should wish to administer powder to
tho swollen throat of n full chcsted COW,
l would suggest blowing it in by means
OF pair IF hand bellows that will not
be required afterward.
Another little brochure from tho pcn
