His Great Skill and Experience.
Not only will you be surprised at his
wonderful knowledge of disease, his plain,

which his new. common sense, RATION

far a perfect, absolute and permanent

The Marvellous Cures Made by this Won

Of his treatments without operations

Lincoln and the Bible.

Mr.. Lincoln. as I saw him every morn
ing, in the carpet slippers he wore in the
house and the black clothes no tailor
could make really fit his gaunt, bony
frame, YVES a homely figure. The routine
of his life was simple, too; II would have
seemed a treadmill to most of us. He
was an early riser; when came on duty,
at in the morning, he was often already
dressed and reading in the library. There
was a big table near the centre Of the
room; there ! have seen him reading
many times. And the bookl We have all
heard Of the Presidents fondness for
Shakspere, how he Infatuated Secretary
Stanton by reading Hamlet while they
were waiting for returns from Gettysburg;
we know. too. how he kept cabineJ meet
ings waiting while he read the latest Of
Petroleum V. Nasby's witticisms. II
was the Bible which l saw him reading
while most OF the household still slept.
