FORCE Of HABIT.-When the Thanks
giving turkey was brought In the host
said to the celebrated surgeon who
was the guest Of honor.
Nov. doctor, on account Of your
surgical skill. I'll ask you to carve.
None but you could do justice to him.
The physician, his mind on other
things, smiled absently, took the head
of the table, raised the knife. and
made a deep incision in the breast Of
the turkey
Then he frowned, rummaged in his
pocket, and brought out some absorb
ent cotton, a roll Of bandages, and a
paper of pins. With these he proceed
ed to dress and bind the wound he
had made. When the doctor had in
serted the last pin. and patted the neat
dressing. he looked up and smiled.
"'And now he said, let -uS hope
that in a week, with rest and care. our
patient will be on his feet again."

WHEN THE POPE PRESCRIBED.
Leo KIN Once Succeeded In Turning
the Tables on His Physician.


the Tables on His Physician.
Among the many stories told Of DR..
Lapponi, who until his death a couple
of weeks ago was chief physician to
the pope, Is one Of an occasion upon
which Leo XIII turned the tables on
him. Lapponi was a strict discipline
rian in medical matters and Leo was
a difficult patient. He often COM
planned Of the restraints Lapponi
placed on him and sometimes insisted
on having his own way.
One day when the pope was suffer-
ing from a very severe cold he insist
ed on holding a prolonged and impor-
tant reception, despite Lapponi's pro-
tests. When 1t became plain that the
pope's determination could not be shak-
en- the doctor as a last resort handed
him a little box with several tablets
in it. imploring him to take one when
ever the symptoms of the cold became
distressing.
The doctor further took up q posi-
ton in the audience chamber. half
hidden behind a tapestry, where he
could watch his patient closely and
Jump to his support is he should show
and signs of collapse.
AS the audience proceeded the pope
forgot all about the box Of tablets-at
least Lapponi failed to see him take
any of them. Presently Lapponi
thought the pope was becoming
hoarser, and he coughed a little
as he spoke. The doctor made
up his mind that he must act. He
coughed rather loudly so as to attract
the pope's attention. and when he
caught his eye made gesture sug-
gestive of taking a tablet from the
box and swallowing it.
The pope instantly turned to one OF
his secretaries standing near by.
Call the doctor to me-" said he.
Lapponi sprang to his side.
Doctor" said the pope, II notice
you have a very severe cough. / am
greatly grieved at it. But I have here
some tablets"-and he produced the
box from a fold in his robes-"which
| am told are splendid for a cold. Let
me prescribe one for you. You will
do me the pleasure Of taking 1t at
once"
What could Lapponi do but take his
medicine. The whole gathering. how
ever. understood the situation, and for
once Il papal audience was interrupt
ed by burst of laughter.-New York

of which he can cure every kind of In
fictitious, loathsome, and incurable dis
ease, even when considered, humanity
speaking, hopeless. He has demon
strated to his own satisfaction that
hospitals for infectious diseases are
quite unnecessary, and that surgical
operations except on the battlefield or
in railway or other accidents, are total
ly uncalled for. No operation is need
ed, according to him, for appendicitis,
for example, as it can be perfectly
well cured by the germicide. The dis
covere. OF the germicide has published
a list OF the names of so patients, with
their addresses, whom he says he has

While the cough or cold may not bring
consumption, it is better to be on the
safe side and take no chances.
Here is simple remedy that will
break up cold in twenty-four hours,
and cure any cough that is durable:
Glycerine, two ounces; Virgin OIL Of
Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; good
Whisky, a half pint Shake we'll and
use in teaspoonful doses every four

from any good prescription druggist at

the desired results. For this reason it
is always best to purchase the ingredi-

ture at home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) should be
purchased only in the original half

dispense. Each vial is enclosed in a
