Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young !;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
i, good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tica is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't,
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Lobster Hard On the Stomach.

From Mexico comes a story of
an American wedding in one of
the cities there. Bride and groom,
both Americans, had resided
there some time, and were very
popular with both natives and
foreigners. The wedding was a
grand affair, and among the
bridesmaids were a couple of
very pretty Mexican girls.
One of the dishes at the we'd
ding supper was a delicious lob
ster salad, of which the bride ate
very freely.
Meeting her next day one of
the Mexican bridesmaids accost-
ed the bride with the usual morn
ing salutation in Mexico:
"Como paso usted la noche?"
which, rendered into English, is,
'How did you pass the night"
''Oh, very well, replied the
bride, "but that lobster laid on
my stomach all night

To ail who suffer with rheumatism I will

rheumatism ever published.
No matter what your form of rheumatism is,
whether acute, chronic, muscular, infammato-
~, deformant, sciatic, neuralgia, gout lumbago,
etc-no matter how many doctors have failed in
your case no matter how many so-called
s-sure cures you have tried-I want you to
write TO me and let me tell you how mother was
cured.
/ am neither doctor nor a profeSsor-s1mply
q plain man of business-but have CURE for
Rheumatism and want to tell everyone who
suffers with rheumatism all about it. L wish
to be clearly understood, and trust that all who
arc suffering with this terrible disease, however
apparently beyond the reach of cure will write
TO me this day and 1 viii send yon by return
mail this work OF mine. 1 appeal especially to
the "chronically ill., who are wearied and dis
couraged with doctoring and to those who have
been cast aside as ''incurable." All you have
thought about Rheumatism may be wrong. Let
me tell you our experience. Surely If you have
rheumatism, or have a suffering friend, it will
pay you to investigate my offer. anyway, and
prove for yourself these claims make.

other children. The doll noticed that
he had great blue eyes, which seemed
ever SO large AS he looked wonderingly
at all that was going On. Then there
came a knocking on the wall, and the
children knew that it was a signal for
them to get back to bed and not take
cold, and back they scrambled, laugh
ing and tumbling over one another,
and covered themselves up.
Presently the father and mother
came in and distributed the toys. The
doll was for one of the girls, but the
boy insisted on having it himself. Then
when all were loaded with presents
they carried them down to the break
fast room.
What a day it was! The children
were racing about, playing with their
toys, and people were coming in on
tinually to see the presents, and the
u shone brightly on the snow out
side, and the fire shone brightly with
in on the brass andirons and fender,
and after dinner stories were told the
children till they were all astonished
by the number of wonderful things
that happen. The boy with the light
hair and blue eyes lay in his mothers
arms, hugging the doll with herbreast
pressed against his, SO that she could
