A physician in the out of-the-Way
corners of Ireland has many oppor-
tunities to laugh, though his amuse-
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith in the
doctor, a superstitious faith in his
drugs and appliances, but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr.
Michael MacDonagh, in his Irish Life
and Character" gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for sick laborer, which h.
sent by the mans wife in a small
box, bearing the direction: The
whole to be taken Immediately"
On visiting the patient little later,
the doctor was surprised to find that
,ne pills had not helped him. He
asked the mans wife if she had given
him the medicine.
81 did, doctor" replied she, "but
maybe the lid hasn't come off yet ="
The sick man had swallowed box and
all.

An Irishman, who had sent for the
doctor for the first time in his life
watched with astouishment while the
physician took his clinical thermome
ter from its case, slipped it under the
patients armpit, and told him 10
keep ii there a second or two.

FEATURE OF CAMP LIFE.

Bivouac.

Ten or u years ago, when New
Workers first began TO camp on Upper
Saranac lake, they were content with
simple little cabins in a small clear
ing on the lake shore. They really
camped and enjoyed the rough life,
says the New York Tribune.
Gradually the cabins have been dis
appearing. and in their places have
come substantial houses of two or
more stories each. Hardwood floors
took the place of rough boards, and
enameled bathtubs, with hot and cold
water and shower attachments. made
their appearance.
The camps began to have an average
of one servant for every, guest; the
dinners were served in many courses
on fine linen, with silver and cut glass
The camps" were camps in name

The advent of electric launches
made dynamos necessary, and it was
little trouble to wire the camps" and
put in electric lights. They replaced
the camp lantern and brought the
places almost to the same level OF
comfort as a city house.

said the wife of one camp owner. a
woman with some sense of the artistic

Whats the matter with them?'
ased the husband, who was proud of
his electric plant.
1T does not seem like camp" she
said. ignoring the fact that she was
dressed for dinner in most expensive
evening gown.
After much thought the husband hit
upon a scheme of pleasing his wife's
sense of the artistic and at the same
time keeping the electric lights.
He had the lanterns cleaned up and
in them the electric lights were strung
The wife was satisfied and camp
seemed more like camp

to say which will be of interest to

He has cured himself and so claims per-

Mr.. Colson says:
s'I had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that I could badly
walk. I tried several things but got
no relief till I began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and had taken but a
few of these pills till the pain left me
entirely.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots of good and consider them a
great medicine"
The remedy that cured Mr.. Colson is
the same that has been making such
sensational cures of Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Dropsy and Rheumatism all
over the country. The name of the
medicine is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
