I'm the spring Of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting, which
we had great difficulty in stopping.

"In the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. | was away from home I'LL
ing an appointment at the time, and on
my return I found her very low; She
had literally vomited herself almost to
death, and it took some days TO quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
II had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it each time by resort to
medicine.
but my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared, and during the

Scott and the Simnle Life.

Sir Walter Scott was an out-of.
doors man, as he had been a tramp.
ing boy, says McClure's. II is impos.
sible to think Of him without his
horses and dogs. His duties as sher.
if took him across country contin.
ually, and he always had more months
out of Edinburgh that in it, notwith-
standing his court clerkship. He was
thus in constant contact with Scotch
life and country. and he never lc d.
or relaxed his first impulse to know
and see with his eyes, so far as eyes
could see II, all the local history. He
was also in love with the genius of
Scotland as it was stamped in the
people of all sorts and conditions. HUI
man nature, the rough, hard article
free from its alloy Of the town, was
treasure trovc to him. On those an
nual raids into Liddesdale," and on
many another journey, he made him
self master of this book of truth out
of which came so much of the char
acter, anecdote and phrase that are
most sterling, real and humorsome in
his books.
