How to Give a Cat Medicine

A New York gentleman has II very
fine Angora cat, and so fine specimen
of her kind that she is famous in a large
circle of fashionable folk. She is not
rugged in health, yet she cannot be
persuaded to take physic. II has been
put in her milk, it has been mixed
with her meat, it has been even rudcly
and violently rubbed in her mouth, but
never had she been deluded or forced
into swallowing any of it. Recently n
green Irish girl appeared among the
household servants. She heard about
the failure to treat the cat. "Sure,"
said she, 'give me the medicine and
some lard, and I'll warrant she'll he

powder and the grease, and smeared it
on the cats sides. Pussy at once licked
both sides clean, and swallowed all
the physic. Faith" said the servant

The custom Of giving gifts on Christ
