of its resulting in pneumonia. If rca-

all danger will be avoided. Among

this remedy for In grippe we have to
learn of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia which shows cOnclu-
sively that this remedy is n certain
preventive of that dangerous disease.

Fell in the Square.

A young man who lives in the
Sixth ward, while escOrting his best
girl through Spencer square last
night, slipped on the ice. His pedal
extremities shot skyward and he
aiighted flat on his back on the walk
A bottle of rock and rye that he had
purchased for medicinal purposes. and
which he carried in his trousers
pocket, of course, was broken. One
of the first promises that his lady
friend-for she is dead set against
liquor-eXacted from him before ac-
cepting his attentions was that he
should forever abstain from intoXi-
cants. When he had arisen from his
tumb BILE in the square his compan-
ion sympathized with him and asked
him if he was hurt. She also scented
whisky. 1t must be very near, too,
she argued. He shifted several times.
He got it. He was of the opinion
that the aroma emanated from one of
the saloons in the neighborhoOd. As
they continued on their journey to-
ward the lady's home at different
intervals she would complain of the
presence of that odOr of strong liquor.
He persisted in working the saloon
ruse until thew reached locality
where there were no saloons within
Il distance of several blocks.
Then she stopped and demanded an
explanation. He broke the news, and
he broke it Dramatically, told how
he had been suffering from the grip,
then he took her hand, and asked if
she could blame him for drinking the
awful stuff if his doctor said that he
must if he wanted to he cured. Nat
urally under such circumstances she
could not scoid him.
