Goat lymph has long been Known as
a great revitalizer. but as no means
had been discovered for keeping the
cells in active condition no great use
could be made of it. DIR. Roberts has
been able 10 do away with this defect
in the remedy and great hopes are en-

the leading physicians of New York.
Boston, Chicago and other American
cities are enthusiastic o n ~rning the
results they have been able to achieve
by means of it. 1t has been found a
great aid in treating cases of epilepsy,
apopleNy. locomotor ~ataNia, %atrophy,
paralysis, nervous prostration and
consumption in its early stages.
1t is said to cure rheumatism and has
been found very useful in the case of
children whose mental growth has

patients. Some of the most prominent

HIS MISTAKE
An American Girl Gives an Enxll1h-
man q Little Light ON
Ladies'.

A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met a young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girls of this country. who, in the
minds of the untravelec foreigner. are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner one day, in the early &C,
quaintance of the couple. the officer offered
the Louisville girl a cigarette, and, upon her
refusing it. he said:
why, | thought all the girls in the
United States smoked"
so we do replied the girl, but never
cigarettes; only pipes. Ii You will get that
| pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room
shall be charmed to smoke with YOU"
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
on him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he saw the WY
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa,
ton. He was continually telling the Ameri,
ran in a tone of surprise that she was jus,
like the girls at home in England, and her
