GOT 4 PINK EYE?"
The Latest Name for BAD
Habits That Are
Fashionable.
PERHAPS YOU HAVE RED EYE
That Is Quite Different From
the Fashionable Thing
It's Serious.

From time to time there appears a diff
ferent fad which is elevated to the name
of disease by those who have nothing
better to amuse themselves with than
making excuses for their somewhat
ragged appearance, caused by late
hours, looking at the wine when they are
sober enough to see it (the color that it is
when it is in the cup is not a matter of
moment), and doing other naughty-very
naughty-and foolish things. But then
as long as there is temptation so long will
some people give way to it, and then
why, of course they have got to find an
excuse for the result of what the cattle
man calls Nose Paint and other things.
Just now pink Eye" is the proper thing
to have, and if you haven't got 1t you are
not in fashion. Watch the clubman with
his eye on his matutinal cocktail as the
knight of the white apron and the curved
spoon is trying to make it to exactly TICKLE
his palate. He evidently needs it-aEd
he's absolutely impatient to get al u.
Down it goes with a HAL" A chlNm
drops in and remarks that he looks "a
trihe under the weather." and your inno-
cent clubman will remark as sageiy as
possible, Eyes I've got just touch OF
Pink Eve. I think" And then he Will
add seriously enough, "Quite prevalent,
you know, just now-very nasty thing"
And so it Is. The amount of Pink Eye
that there was in town for two or three
DAYS after election was simply appalling!
However, it is, perhaps, not we'll to treat
this matter with too much ieylty, Tor
there is time when another kind OF pink,
or rather red, eye is matter for very
serious consideration. This has been as
serted by large mum Der OF eminent med
ical practitioners, and indeed the learned
physician who treats more severe cases OF
Au,ti
one else in the city said with reference to
the matter a couple of days ago, "There
are occasions when red eyes. as most
people call them, accompanied with
feeling of prostitution, desire to do nc
work, and melancholia and night sweats,
may surely indicate very dangerous con-
dition of the bodily forces which has ended
in complete collapse" Thisswas no less
gentleman than the Chief Consulting
Physician OF the famous Hudson Medical
Institute, and in their great white estaD-
ishment at the junction OF Market, Stock
ton and Ellis streets they have had an
immense amount OF experience with both
"Pink Eye" and the serious Kind. Asked
what was good for the fashionable disease,
the great specialist said: '"To ind out
what class OF disease causes it. II 1t IS
mere social cups simple remedies are APP
piled, but have found many people who,
on the verge OF most complicated nervous
diseases, go on imagining that there is
little, if anything, the matter with them
because they have managed 10 get their
systems stimulated for a little while. But
evei in the worst of these-yes, may say
in the very worst-our Temedio-treatment
'Hudyan,' which is vegetable and purely
harmless, rapidly stops the weakening pro-
cess ana stops the farther spread OF disease.
Although blood poisoning of some kinds
is clearly shown at times by the peculiar
color of the eyes, l have seen 'Hudyan'
make wonderful cures in even 80 dsXSssJ
If you will ask them in the Office, EW
continued, ''they will. I am sure give yoI
someprinted matter which will give you fun
particulars as to what have been talking
about" The request for further informa-
ton in the large front office was promptly
acce ded to, and an immense number of
most positive testimonials as to the value
of this remarkable remedy in liver and
kidney troubles, as well as nervous debil-
itation was exhibited with much cordial
ity. MAY take one OF these ?" queried
the reporter. Certainly, take whatever
you want; we are glad to send circulars
and testim onials of 'Hudyan' to any one
who cares TO call or write to US for them"
was the kind reply, and with that the in
terview ended,
