TWO OF A TRADE.

TWO OF A TRADE.
That two of a trade seldom agree is
a common saying. Its weakness, how
ever, resides in the TACT tnat 1t is
cayiIing, sneering saying. The idea
sought to be conveyed is that the dis
agreement is the outcome of reciprocal
jealousy. While that is likely, it is not
Il necessary, or even philosophical,
inference. Two Of trade may easily
see reasons for an honest difference oil
opinion to which the OUTSIDER is bnnd.
Again, two OF a trade may agree and
both be wrong-on a pom, OF course,
connected with their own industry.
Some years ago there was high debate
over the question whether painting,
exhibited in Paris, was an original
NeIasquez or a copy. Half the artists
and conHOisScuiS in europe got hot un-
der the collar about II. IL was one or
the other-so they said. Later on the
fact came out. IL was neither an crIgi-
nal nor copy; it was rcpiicd. The
experts were mistaken. And SO runs
speculative judgment in everything.
Here Is the case of Two doctors; both,
doubtless, competent men. II they
were wrong, or if only one was wrong,
but let US have the story first. 1t
comes from reputable source, and Is
well corrObOrated.

witch, November 18th, 1897.
One of Mr.. Jervis' doctors pr0ngunc-
ed his complaint to be pleurisy; the
other said it was heart disease. Were
they both right, or both wrong? Or
was one right and the other wrong?
In the latter Case-which one? Judg-
ing from the symptoms as set forth by
Mr.. Jervis the probability is that both
were rights far as Hcy rent.
| The sac or bag which surrounds the
heart (called the pericardum), and the
sac in which the lungs rest (called the
pleurae), are parts of the Emphatic
system; which Is the especial abiding
place and stamping ground of the kind
of poison, produced by the diseased
digestive system, and the cause OF
rheumatism, govt, pleurlsy, and heart
disease. Now, after Gf not before) his
attack OF influenza Mr.. Jervis suffered
from acute dyspepsia with torpid liver,
which engendered the poison that set
mp a mild form of both pleurlsy and
heart disorder When the real and I'M
DERIVING ailment Of all-the dyspepsia
was cured by Mother Segel's Syrup
these supplementary or consequential
troubles vanished, as might BE- eX-
pected.
So We see that-strange as II may
scem-two Of a trade can differ and
both be right.
