1.-The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract
Is not unknown to me, as have used 1t
professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results. For mothers
nursing their children and for general
debility from any cause, regard it as
OF especial value, as it combines both
tonic and nutrient properties, which
make 1t truly the Best Tonic"
~ recently prescribed Pabst Malt Ex-
tract The Best" Tonic. to three of nv
patients, all of whom were ladies, and
all of whom were suffering from dyspep-
STA and its consequences, and in all these
cases it acted like charm. Two of
them bought more of the tonic, and
continued to take it, until now they tell
me they can eat anything, and one of
them added everything" without the
slightest Inconvenience. They have GER
tainly improved wonderfully in weight
and strength. l have prescribed your
Best" Tonic great number OF times.
1t is one of the best, if not the very best,
Of its kind"

Famous Dog Actors.

OF all the illustrious dogs which
ever trod the boards the most famous is
Dragon, the property of Captain Mont
didier in the French army. This gentle
man was murdered in the forest of
Bondy by his friend, Lieutenant Ma
caire of the same regiment. After the
crime Dragon showed such a strange
aversion to Macaire that suspicion was
aroused against him. In the end he
confessed his crime, and his aocomplice,
Landry, in trying to escape, was seized
by the faithful animal and bitten to
death.
This story has held the English stage,
on and off, since the year of Waterloo,
and it is only three decades since two
"stars," named Lamb and Emmett,
played in it with their trained dog Carlo
at the Marylebone theater, London,
then directed by Joe Cave. This animal
was also the principal performer in a
canine drama named Poor Dog Tray. :"
Eighty years ago there was theater at
PeCkham where youth named John
Baldwin Blackstone made his debut as
the injured captain.
There is a venerable theatrical legend
which deals with a piece called THE
Caravan Driver and His Dog Que
evening tho leading tragedian was takel,
III an,I the rrmFter rushed I'll L. ,..e
manager to inform him that the play
must be changed. "How you alarmed
