to a friend the following anecdote of
his childhood:

war" said he. land Georgia was flood
ed with circulars of wildcat lottery
companies. l was then about fourteen
years old. and walking in home late
one afternoon l saw on the center-table
in the drawing room one of those ster-
eOtyped lottery circulars addressed to
my mother. 1t came from lottery
company in the north. purporting to be
operated in the interest of confederate
widows. notifying my mother that they
had been informed of the death of her
husband in the war and holding out to
her the fattering offer of a $1,000 prize.
provided she would buy a ticket at n
cost Of 81 and give the lottery a cer-
tificate that she had drawn a prize of
$1,000
Il asked my mother If ! could reply
to that circular" said Grady. and she
cheerfully gave her consent. ! at once
indited a communication as follows:

Epidemics Of Cholera, Yellow Fever and
other diseases of similar character, SO ter
riblc in their results, occasion wide spread
alarm and receive the most careful consid-
Grafton for their prevention and cure, while
consumption receives scarcely thought,
yet the number of their victims sinks into
insignifcanCe when compared with those of
consumption. Comparatively few people
know what to do for their loved ones when
they see them gradually lose strength, lose
color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia-
tion, or develop cough, with difficult
breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for long time given in all such cases,
but the poor success attending its use
coupled with its na,,seating taste has led
many practitioners, as we'll as the public at
