FROM CORPUS CHRISTI
A Pretty Town Situated on the Golf OF
nexiCO.

A short time since I. A. Edwards,
the cotton buyer at Waxahachie,
who made a trip last summer and
this one, too, to Liverpool and Lon
don, England, said to ME If you call
that frame of yours delicate any
more / want you to stop my paper.
He and great many others in this
world do not seem to understand
that a frame can be large ana Cell
cate at the same time, Therefore,
we six-footers and above IN length
and large, fat people get no sympa-
thy whatever when we are sick.
When we of this class of sick people
finally pass in our checks, turn our
toes to the daisies, then the world
will say of some of us may be they
were sick and moderately good peo-
pie while sojourning here on this
mundane sphere.
While cool Colorado was the finest
natural summer climate | ever
struck yet it failed to relieve the fear
full catarrh and a sore, hoarse-
throat the hard attacks of grip
left me with, and DR.. l.. Keplinger,
the specialist on eyes, ears and
throat troubles, who has been treat
ing me for a long while and by the
way do believe he is as competent
and well equipped as any man in
Texas advised me to come here and
try shifting salt air and bathing in
the gulf They do say bathing is
good for oua's health anywhere on
the earth and the first day here !
