Then my hus- band, who had been cured of Scroll ula by the use of 6. s. S., said he believed it would cure me. I began taking it and eight bottles cured me; my foot healed up nicely. be- lieve would have been a cripple for life but for s. s. s.

misrule, the lord of misrule, the mas

was the person who used to superln-
tend the saturnalia, which were COM
mon in different parts Of Europe from
the fifth to the sixteenth century. The
feast of fools was an imitation of the
heather saturnalia and. like this, was
celebrated in December; hence the con.
fusion of ideas which has arisen in
mixing this feast with the ordinary
Christmas revels. The chief celebra.

west, comes from Italy, Sicily, Ma
jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo-
rocco and Algiers. The highly priced
Jordan almonds come from Malaga,
Spain, and not from the Jordan river,
as many people suppose. The common
almond is the most indigestibe of all
the nuts and contains very little nour-
ishment. There are many ways, how
ever, in which it is advantageously
used as Il desert or as a tavoring.
One popularity about the almond tree
is that its leaves contain prussic acid
and are therefore poisonous, while the
fruit may be eaten with impunity.
