 Carry CharIing was studying medi- cine. so he was naturally intolerant of the old gentreman's evil habit of dos- ing himsen with patent remedies. The old gentleman was his grandfather Beaton. 4
 Grandfather .Beaton was martyr. Hardly an i'll to which the flesh is heir was there that Grandfather Beaton < had not suffered. At the time Garry went down on his vacation he was bat tlfng with an aggravated case of Bright's disease--Lattling with Woot- tng's Catholicona at a dollar the bot tie Garry wanted to know who had diagnosed his case as Brights disease and explained what diagnosis was.
 T jest feel the same way that Doc tor Woofing says I naturally would fel in that there almanac of his," re- piled Grandfather Reaton.
 But when you were taking Carker's Cprine for general debility you felt exactly the same, didn't you--and the Heeluquik for gastritis almanac de- scribed the same symtoms. Grandfath- CT. why didn't you see competent and reputable practitioner and allow him to prescribe for you You'll never get your health meddling with these nos- trums'
 T dessay now that you reckon you know 1t all" said the old gentleman with some Indignation. Young man, doctored for years. I've had half a dozen different doctors. an none of 'em ever did me as much good as the Curine did me. didn't keep it up be- cause Cal Perkins. the druggist. reck- ermended me to try the Heeluquik, an I guess that done me more good than what I'm takin' now. It was more bracing. but Catho1icona hits the spot in my back that none of the oth- CTS teached. You can't tell me nothin' about patent medicines"
 But a doctor"
 Its a doctor who discovered the Cur ine,' said the invalid; Den a studyin' on a way to knock general debility for forty years. I'll tell you, Garry what you ought to do is to study an find out med'ine for yourself that will be boon to sufrerin' humanity. You've got all the chances there is there where you're a workin.' Wooting's a doctor. too. so you needn't turn your i nose up--a reg1ar praeticin' physician. An Jimpison. who got on to the Heel uquik," he give up a large an lucra- tive practice to perfectin' his remedy. The trouble with me though is I'm afraid I've got a gin'ral complication of most all the diseases there is. I'm goin' to keep tryin' though till strike somethin(that touches the spot.
 Chaling was disgusted, of course. There was no use arguing with such obstinacy, so he stopped arguing. It was his private opinion that there was nothing much the matter with the old man. anyway.
 About a month after he returned to Chicago Grandfather Beaton. down in St Clair county, received by freight a box. which when opened was found to contain half dozen bottles of a dark fluid, labeled neatly "Challing's Con- fluxion." letter enclosed in the box and signed Garry Challing, stated that the writer had profited by his grand fathers hint and had bent the ener- gies of his mind to the composition of a panacea for complicated disorders. The success that had attended his ef- forts, he modestly wrote. was the fruit of an inspiration--an accident al- most. but he was confident that if he had experienced for fifty years he could not have found better medic inal remedy for the complication of disease. The confluxion was correct i've. palliative. demulcent salutiferous, ,-- ,sedative, traumatic and several other things and all he, Garry. asked was trial.
 Grandfather Beaton beamed through his spectacles on Grandmother Beaton, after reading the letter, T swan to gimlets" he exclaimed. now wouldn't that beat time! Mother. I always said that boy O Williams had the right stun in him. I allowed he was a con- siderable biggoty an sweli-headed when he was down here. but I knowed he had the stuff in him. He want above admittin' to himself that the old man might know beans when the bag was open an when he reelized he was wrong he started in to do the way I advised him. I like that in young teller.
