Three Doctors in Consultation.

From Benjamin Franklin
when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in
the first place: what experience tells you
is best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason Ii. e., Theory says is best
to be chosen in the last place. But If
YOU can set DR.. Inclination, DIR. Expe-
r1ence ard DIR. Reason to hold a consul
tation together, they will give you the
h, st advice that can be taken.''
When you have bad cold DR.. Incli-
nation would recommend Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy because it is plea SAINT
and safe to take. DR.. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to

robed minister who delivers an extempore
address fairly bristling with personali-
ties: in the meantime, relatives sob, until
finally everyone who can prove the re-
motest connection with the bride, kisses
her. Next follows an elaborate break
fast in French style, where plenty Of
wine and beer are served, but the beer
is not at par with Heurich's famous bev-
erage which sets the heart throbbing
with joy. Then comes a quaint post
script to this very extraordinary cere-
monial, in which ladies and gentlemen
must alike arise from their seats and
solemnly filing up to the persons toasted.
touch his glass with their own. After a
score of speeches the thing gets monot-
onous, hut it is carried out to the bitter
