Indebtedness in Pittsburg.

A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. It wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
and dependency. They cannot, as a
rule, get rid of this continual strain"
but they can remedy it's health destroy
ing effects by taking frequent doses Of
Green's August Flower. 1t tones upthe
liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim and
spirit to ones whole being, and event

tress caused by that continual strain"

The Expression "Great scottw

Correspondents Of the London Acade-
my have been discussing the origin of
the American expression "Great Scott"
One thought it arose in some obscure
way from the name Of General Winfield
Scott. Another writes: "Surely the con-
nection of this with General Winfield
Scott, mentioned by your correspond
ent, is doubtfulprobably a mere volks-
~etomologie or story invented to account
for a word not otherwise understood.
RusselT's Current Americanisms' mere
ly defines it as a 'euphemistic oath of
no great force and very uncertain orr.
GIN He must have been acquainted
with the Winfield Scott story and (as
he is elsewhere very hospitable to fan
cy %der1vations) must have had reasons
for rejecting this one, but it is odd that
he did not record the fairly obvious cor
ruption of the German 'Gruss Gott""
