tied with the possession of a very con-
sidera BILE quantity of reasoning power.
1t was the custom for the students at
the medical institution at which pur
sued my studies to wear small badge
upon their coats to distinguish them
from others at the college. A horse
belonging to the establishment was
used great deal about the medical de-
partmeIx, and the animal seemed to
have a special preference for the en-
bryo doctors more than for any other
people about the establishment. One
day, when a number of us were gath
cred in a little knot upon small cam
pus in the rear of the college, the ami
NAL in question, which used to nip the
grass in the location, came toward the
group limping very badly. He came
to stop dozen or more feet from
the crowd, and, carefully surveying the
lot of us, finally made up his mind to
do what he wanted to do, and, with
out any hesitation, limped directly to
my side, whinnied, stuck his nose
against my body and held up his left
foreleg. Looking down, discovered
large nail imbedded in the frog of his
hoof. This had evidently caused the
lameness. I then realized the interest
ing fact that the animal desired at
tendance. l extracted the nail with
some difficulty, and the horse whim-
pered with relief and walked away.
Rather curious as to why the beast
had picked me out to attend to his
wound, glanced at the boys and found
the solution to the problem. Not one
of the group had his medical badge
upon his coat but myself. The horse
had recognized the insignia and acted
accordingly"

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. MY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottfes OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
