She Cured Him, Anyway.

a young wife had ust settled in her
new home. All seemed fair and pr, III.
ising but one night her husband came
home very late and staggered into the
house. His wife, greatly shocked, told
him he was i'll, and to lie down at once.
He did so. His face was reddish Iur-
pie, his breathing heavy, and altogeth-
er he was pitiable looking object.
Mustard plasters were applied to his
hands and feet.
When the doctor came, felt his pull e,
examined him, and found that he was
drunk, he said
"He will be all right in the NOM
ing"
But the wife insisted that he was
very i'll, and severe remedies must he
used
"lou must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, "or shall send for
some one who will"
His head was accordingly shaved
closely and blisters applied. All night
he lay in drunken sleep, notwiih-
standing the blisters.
About daylight he awoke TO a most
uncomfortable Consciousness of blister
ed agony.
"What does this mean?" he said,
putting his hand to his bandaged head.
"Lie still you mustn't STIR" said the
wife ''you have been very i'll.
''I am not ILL.,"
''Oh, yes you are you have brain fe-
yer. We have worked hard with YOU
all night"
II should think you had" grOana d
the victim. whats the matter with
my feet ?''
''They are blistered."
II am better now. Take off the blis-
ters do" he pleaded piteousIy.
He was most uncomfortable; his head
covered with sores and his hands and
feet still worse.
my dear" he said, groaning, "if ]
should get sick in this way again, dc
not be alarmed or send for doctor
and, above all, do not blister me again.
"Oh, indeed, will. All that saved
you was the blisters and il you should
have another spell l should be NOR,
frightened than ever, for the tendency
I am sure, is to apoplexy and from tbs
next attack you will be likely to di,
unless the severest measures are used.
From that day he has never had an
other attack Of drink.

A TERRIER TACKLES THE
WRONG TOM CAT.

A man he owned a terrier dorg.
A bod-tailed ornery cuss-
And that there purp got that there man
Into many an ugly muss.
For the fellow was on his muscle,
And the purp was on his bite;
So to kick that bob-tafled animile
Was sure TO raise fight.
woman owned Thomas cat,
That ut at fifteen pounds:
And other cats got up and got
When that there cat was round.
The man and his dorg came long one day.
Where the woman she did dwell
And the dorg he growled ferociousiy,
And went for the cat like-weil,
lie tried to chaw the neck of the eat,
But the cat wouldn't be chawed;
SO he lit ON the back OF that are dorg,
And bit. and ehewei and claweii
Oh. the hair 1t flew and the purp he yowled
As the claws went into his hide,
And chunks OF flesh were peeled from hts
back;
Then he fiummnxed, and kicked, and died
The man he ripped, and cursed, and swore.
As he gathered big brick-bat,
That he would be burned essentially
II he dn't kin that cat!
The woman allowed she'd be blessed IL he did
And she snatehed upan old shot gun,
Which she fired and peppered his dia phragm
With bird-shot number one.
They toted hin home on window-blind,
And the doctor cured bin up.
And he was never known TO fight again,
OR to own another pup.
Folks may turn up their SHOOTS at this her
rhyme;
don't care a cuss for thatl
All / want to show Is, that fighting dogs
May tackle the wrong tom-cat.

Catarrh ''cures" in liquid form to be
taken internally, usually contain
either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa,
or both, which are injurious if too
long taken. Catarrh is q local, not a
blood disease, caused by sudden change
to cold and damp weather. II starts
in the nasal passages. Cold in the
head causes excessive flow Of mucus,
and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow and often
times an offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles and contains no
| mercury nor any injurious drug.
