When the warmer weather comes
these impurities are liable to manifest

lead to serius illness. Unless the blood
is rich and pure that tired feeling will
affiict you, your appetite will fail and
you will find yourself "all run down."

EARLY DOCTORS.

During the last century in Amerina
the medical education of a young stu
dent was generally what he picked up
by serving as an apprentice to some
noted practitioner, which combined
the. duties of student with many me-
NAL affairs, says the american Maga-
zine. He ground the powders, mixed
the pills, rode with the doctor on his
rounds, held the basin when the pa
tient was bled, helped to adjust the
plasters, sew wounds, and run with
vials of medicine from one end of town
to the other. 1t was white day when
such a young man enjoyed the rare
good fortune of dissecting half putrid
arm. So great, indeed, was the diff
Guilty of obtaining anatomical subjects
that the medical school of Harvard
College made single body do duty
for whole year.
Under such circumstances, the doc
tors knowledge was practical, and de-
rived from personal experience rather
than from books. The advantages of
study were sparingly enjoyed. Few
physicians boasted of library of fifty
volumes.
His apprenticeship ended, the stu
dent returned to his native town to as
sumo the practice ofmedicine. At that
period, with the exception of the mill
lister and the judge, the doctor was the
most important parsonage in his COM
munity. His genial face, his engaging
manners, the sincerity with which he
inquired after the carpenters daughter,
and the interest he took in the family
of the poorest laborer, made him the
favorite for miles around. He knew
the names and personal history of the
occupants of every house he passed.
The farmers lads pulled off their hats
to him, and the girls dropped courte-
sizes as he passed. Sunshine and rain,
daylight and darkness were alike to him.
He would ride ten miles in the darkest
night, over the worst of roads, in
pelting storm, to administer a dose of
calomel to an old woman or attend
child in fit.
The drugs were slowed away on the
shelves of the village store, among
heaps of shoes, Rohan hats, packages
of seeds and fitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to CON-
pound his own drugs, make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip-
tions. His saddle bag was the only
drug store within forty miles. Each
spring the blood must be purified, the
kidneys excited, and the damsel who
tainted profusely bled. Large doses
of SIENNA and mama, and rhubarb and
molasses taken daily. 1t was safe to
say that more medicine was taken
every year by the well than is now
taken by the sick in the same time.
Water was denied the patient tor
mented with fever. In it's stead was
given small quantity of clam juice.
Mercury was taken until the lips turn
ed blue and the gums fell away from
the teeth.
The writer has a vivid recollection,
when about years old, in raging
fever, pleading for water, the nurse
handed the pitcher and the child satis-
fed her burning thirst. Her brother.
overhearing what was going on, rush
ed into the room, exclaiming: "1ou
will kill her!'' But it was too late.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.
There is many rest in the road of life,
If we would only stop to take it,
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
Aud whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted,
For the sweet, blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are lifted.
There never was night without day.
Or an evening without a morning,
Ard the da kest hour, as the proverh goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jew, led crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may he the love of little ch It,,
Or mothers prayer to heaven.
Or only beggar's grateful thar k'
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, slender threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve. and wonder.

A Swedish servent maid, finding
that her mistress was troubled with
sleeplessness, told her of a practice Of
the people Of her country who are
similarly afflicted. 1t was to take a
napkin, dip it into ice-cold water, wiring
it slightly, and lay it across her eyes.
The plan was followed, and it worked
like charm. The first night the lady
slept four hours without awaking-
something she had not done for several
months. At the end of that time the nap
kins had become dry. By wetting it
again she at once went to sleep, and it
required considerable force to rouse her
in the morning.

THAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN.

The saddest marriages-that-might-
have-been are those disappointments
which come from merely worldly obsta-
cles-those obstacles which are so
abundant and gigantic in older coun-
tries and so much more easily evaded
here. In countries where every place
seems filled, where selfsupport is so
difficult as to seem impossible, it may
be needful to wait for middle life and
a comfortable income before marriage.
But here, where the openings are so
much greater, the standards so much
simpler, it is different. Instead of a
gospel of worldly prudence as regards
marriage, we need rather a gospel of
brave imprudence that young people
who have health and love and energy
should take them as their capital,
should marry on faith and hope and
not on a certain supply of bank stock
and railway shares. Who has not seen
the happiness that comes from the need
of mutual sacrifices, the joy of little
success achieved together, the gradual
building of home? The happiest
marriages, surely. are those which be-
gin in this way, and not those which
are postponed till the freshness of
youth is Disadvantages which, in
0 dr. to have something to live upon,
forego the actual joy ofliving. That poet
of the people, Riley, touched cord
we'll nigh universal when he sang:
"Let's 90 a v,stin' back to Grigsby's Station,
There where we used to be so happy and so poor"
The young man in love with the
rich girl waits for years until he can
Support her in the manner to which
she is accustomed" and finds too late
that she would have flung away all and
lived with him in jubilant poverty, had
he trusted her and himself a little
more. Yes, the saddest of the mar
riages-t -that-might-have-been are those
which ought to have been and could
have been and were not,
