THE QUAKER AND THE BIKE

1t was a quiet Quaker who, lured
by wiles of sin,
Looked on the shining wheel until
the siren roped him in.
He parted with his gold TO get the
thing Of perfect grace,
But. oh. he fell from 1t and pushed
the pavement out Of place.
1t turned his nerves all inside out,
It twisted all his bones,
1t slammed him on the earth until
il cracked the cobblestones.
Full oft. alas! it knocked him down
and danced upon his neck
Until the pious Quaker was a weep
sy wopsy wreck
oh, patience is a goodly thing, but
twas q sorry test
When he beheld his leg was through
the aTmhole OF his vest.
OF what he said you ask us why
we do not give a hint
Because he never spoke a word we
dare to put i'm print.

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling OF the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen In Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, 1t is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes. its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerC is very
poisonous and soon impregnates. the
whole mucous surface OF the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically y cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
mature that will accomplish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff solu-

HER SKULL FRACTURED.
South Side Woman Fell Fourteen
Feet and will Die.

Mrs. Michael Mendlowich, of 43O En-
INST street Bellevue, will not recover,
her physicians say, from the effects of
fall yesterday afternoon. She was
stringing a clothes line from the porch
of her house to q pole in the back yard
and, losing her balance. the woman fell
a space Of fourteen feet, her head
striking the ground with terrific force.
She was carried into the house I'M
conscious. A deep cash on her fore
head showed where she had struck the
ground. Dr. j. =. Walker was called
in to attend the woman. After an ex-
animation Dr. Walker decided that the
frontal bone was fractured.
Later in the day DR.. Walker, assisted
by DR.. l.. NJ. Gates and DR.. S. p Long
street, performed an operation on the
fracture. The operation was success
ful, but it is not probable that Mrs.
Mendlowich will survive the shock. She
was thought to be dying at midnight.
