Origin Of Customs and Phrases.

When a knight of old entered a
company of ladies he removed his
helmet to indicate that he considere d
himself among friends, and that there
was no need to protect himself. This
practice has survived in the custom
of raising the hat when saluting lady.
In the days of knighthood every
man carried sword and was ready
to slash his neighbor on the slightest
pretext. When friends met they
grasped one another by the right
hand. thereby indicating peaceable
intentions, as each one thus gave up
his fighting arm. That is why we
shake with the right hand.
In olden times when person died
it was customary to toll the church
bell certain number of times to indi-
cate whether it was man, woman, or
child. For a woman it was tolled
three times and for man thrice three
times. The stroke of bell was call
ed teller and hence it was nine
tellers for a man or, as folks said in
those days, "Nine tellers mark man.
This saying WHICH was continued
long after the tolling custom was
abolished, finally became converted
into the present saying, s'Nine tailors
make man. which is devoid of
both sense and reason.
In old English times when each
family was obliged to sift It's flour, it
sometimes happened that a energetic
man would turn his sieve SO rapidly
as to cause it to catch fire. The
style of the sieve used in. those days
WAS called q s'temse, and 1t became
a customary saying that lazy man
would never set the tense on fire.
Now it happens that the name Of the
river Thames is pronounced like the
name Of this old hour sieve, and after
many years, when the old-fashioned
tense was forgotten, it was thought
that setting the tense on fire meant
setting the river on fire, and that is
why today we say that q stupid person
will never set the river on ire

Yes August Flower still has the larg
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis Nerv-
GUS Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation Of
andigested food. regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
