Epilepsy JONES'"

Ibid you ever hear Of Epilepsy,
Jones? said an old-timer advertising
schemer. He was celebrated eharac-
ter in the business years ago, but |
guess he's pretty well forgotten now.
The way be got his name was pecnlis
ar. He was hired to boom a patent
medicine that was guaranteed to cure
every brand of fits, but somehow or
other he couldn't make it 60, One
day he got desperate and determined
to try new scheme. He walked out
and when he reached the mostcrowd-
ed section of town he suddenly keeled
over in frightful commissions. / am
told BY those who saw it, that it was
the most realistic performance on
record. Anyhow, it drew an enorm-
ous mob Of people and, OF course,
everybody had some suggestion TO
make. While they were all jabbering
at once Jones spluttered out Gimme
some Of Smiths Excelsior Specific, or
whatever the name was, and dozen
men sprinted for the nearest pharma-
cy, When they returned Jones was
writhing and gnashing his teeth and
was beyond doubt a hOrrifying spec
tacle, but the moment they poured a
few drops Of the SPECIFIC into his
mouth his COntortions ceased as if by
magic. Leaping to his feet he threw
his arms around the man with the
medicine and wept copiously on his
neck. You are my savlorn he de-
clared, and then he proceeded to tell
all hands how Smiths Specific never
failed to give him instantaneous re-
lief. need hardly say that it was a
gorgeous 'ad' for the fit mixture.
Well Jones continued to work the
scheme in different towns for several
years, and might be doing it yet if it
hadn't been for a rival medicine
boomer, who played him alow-down
trick. He watched his chance and
one day when Jones had a magnii-
cent fit inDetroit he rushed up, ahead
of anybody, with a bottle in his hand
Supposing it was alright, Jones made
his usual recovery and had just start
ed his little eulogv Of Smiths Specific
when the other fellow stopped him
Excuse me, he said, but you're mis-
taken. my friend I his isn't Smiths
Specific, but Enright's Epilepsy Era
dicator. a much superior article al
exactly half the price With that b,
launched into an eloquent address
citing the remarkable cure just pei
formed as an illustration Of the pre-
paratiOn. Poor Jones couldn't con
tradict him without admitting that
he was a fraud himself, and be wa.
forced to indorse the other chap,
remedy. After that he never dared
to throw another fit for fear the same
would be worked on him, so he re
formed and went into the lightning
rod business. Yes, it's true story,
Have something, fellows?"-By-th
