STRANGE ADVICE!

DR.. G. q: Green gives alert personal attention
to his great humanitarian contract
Gin our Almanac for many years past we
have given unusual advice to those afflic-
ted with coughs, colds, throat or lung
troubles or consumption. We have told
them if they did not receive any special
benefit after the use of one 75-cent size
bottle of German Syrup, to consult their
doctor. Owe did not ask them or urge
them to use a large number of bottles, as
is the case in the advertising of manv
other remedies. Our confidence in Ger
man Syrup makes it possible for us to
give such advice. Owe know by the ex-
perence OF over IS years that one 75-cent
bottle OF German Syrup will speedily re-
ieve or cure the worst coughs, colds,
bronchial or lung troub1es-and that,
even in bad cases of consumption, one
large bottle of German Syrup will work
wonders. qNew trial bottles, 25c.; req

tronius tells us in Trimalchio's Dinner
that a boiled calf is brought in followed
by an actor dressed as Ajax Stimulating
madness he suddenly rushes at the calf
with drawn sword. slashes it into slices
and then presents a piece to each one of
the astonished guests. But this is not
more absurd than the dinner of steamed
rhinoccros recently served at the Hotel
Astor, not more absurd than the various
monkey dinners" horseback dinners -
jungle dinners etc. of which we hear
from time to time. nor should we omit
the recent picnic dinner at New
York hotel. where the guests were seated
on banks of imitation grass, with the re-
suit that sundry handsome gowns were
ruined by green paint,

where the desire is not to get the most
possible for the money, but to spend as
much money as possible, so long as the
amount spent be known. For example.
the very best champagne costs $40 a
quart, but most people are quite con-
tent with ordinary brands at half as
much, and many people would be at a
loss to distinguish the one from the
other by the taste alone. Yet ten dollar
champagne is in demand not because
1t is better. but because the guests know
that 1t costs SO And thousand bottles
have been provided for a single nights
entertainment
On the same principle other wines, still
more costly, are offered, say a red Bor-
