The following simple remedies are

to give these remedies a fair trial;

do some harm:
To Cure Toothache-When tooth
begins to jump tie same down by
means of stout rope, so that jumping
is impossible. II tooth continues to
ache 60 to some dentist who has a
pull.
To Cure Insomnia-Shut your eyes
and count gray sheep, which you must
imagine you see jumping over a pair
of bars. Count from sheep No. 1 up
to sheep No. 57,432. BY that time it
will be daylight and you will be
obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove Wart-Try filing It
off and if the wart does not succumb
to this use stump puller. II this
fails try saying words over it, but
don't swear so hard that the neigh.
bors will hear you.-Ohio State Jour
nal.
