CINCHONISM
THE SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR QUI-
NINE POISONING.

Nearly every other person you meet is
affected more or less with cinchonism.
Brown floating specks before the eyes,
deafness, ringing in the ears, periodical
headaches, dizziness, tendency to bilious
ness-these are some of the symptoms of
duinine poisoning. For years people have
taken quinine or some of its compounds,
thinking it would cure a cold, but II
won't. Don't take it any more-it will
do you harm. Just how people got this
notion into their heads it is hard to
fathom, except probably from the fact
that colds are usually ushered in with a
chilly sensation, the chilly sensation sug-
costing malaria, and malaria suggesting
quinine.
Malaria is about the only disease quiz
nine was ever good for, and the United
States Dispensatory says: "Ouinine was
used to poison the blood against mala-
ria;' don't take it any more-it won't
cure your cold, but will produce Gin
chonism.
This is the season of colds; If you get
one try the new and scientific remedy -
Bromo-Lax, the safe remedy. 1t will
cure your cold in a few hours. 1t won't
make your head ache; 1t will clear the
head. 1t contains no quinine or injurious
quinine compounds. II contains a mild
and soothing laxative to help work Off
the cold. All druggists recommend it and
sell 1t. See that the label reads Bromo-
Lax Contains no Quinine).

Terror, had not passed without leav-

roundness had not returned to her
cheeks, or the girlish delicacy of color
to her complexion, her eyes had recov-

expression all of it's old winning

ITO BE CoNTINUED.I
THE PEDDLER.
Antiquity of His Calling Obscured by a

Antiquity of His Calling Obscured by
Name.
The antiquity and universally of
the peddler's calling has been obscured
by a name given him in days when
that calling had lost much of its i'm
portance, a name whose etymology,
though still uncertain, unduly specifies
or belittles it, says Macmillan's Maya
zine Modern philology dismisses with
a smile Johnsons explanation of con-
traction from petty dealer" or the
mere picturesque derivation from pied
pouldreaux," and observes that the
word came probably with Danes or
Norsemen into England and had it's
origin in the bed or panier in which
fish were brought to market in Nor
folk, while the peddir (peodler) of Low
land Scotch is equally of Scandinavian
origin. Peddar Spelled peoddare) is
found in the general sense of small
hawker in the Ancren Riwie, that is,
before 1897, and pedler, or pedlar, is
probably formed from peddle, an I'M

point to observe is that all these deri-
vations, right or wrong, either unduly
narrow his calling or emphasize its
hardship and insignificance. He is
lowered with name that unfairly
depreciates him at the outset. Nor has
the historian been more kind to him.
AS historian, indeed, it was generally
out of his power. History has not been
slow to recognize the Importance of
trade in the development of nations
and to show how the peaceful opera
items of commerce are often the pre-
cursors of military conquest or at least
of political dominion. But history does
not go back far enough. When the his
tcrian speaks of trade he conceives of
it on a large scale, as an affair of ships
and caravans, and neglects it's humble
origin in the periodic fair and the itin-
Grant peddler.

Playing From a Treetop-BaII That
Bounded Back to Starting Point.
An odd incident occurred on Satur.
day during a match at the Golf Club
de Paris, near Versailles, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Two players in the open
amateur championship were at the
fourteenth tee, when one sent his
drive up a tree. The ball remained
fixed between two branches; a caddie,
climbing up, discovered it's presence
there.
A great consultation arose as to
what should be done. The committee
was hastily summoned and stood be,
meath the spreading branches Of the
tree, much in the fashion in which St
Louis dispensed justice in a primitive
France. Evidently the ball was not
out of bounds. Finally the judges de.

dropped on the tee, counting two, or
the ball should be played from the
spot. To save the point, the golfer
bravely Skinned up the tree and play.
ed his ball from the embracing fork.
making, indeed, quite good stroke.
Later in the afternoon from the
same tee 1 witnessed another curious
incident. The player had driven, and
his ball, striking the sand box of the
ladies' tee, fifty yards ahead, bounded
back to its starting place. The player
then drove into the bunker with his
second shot, which is also something
of a performance.

Origin of Windfall.

The origin of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to streak of good luck, dates
back to the time Of William the Con-
queror. At that time it was criminal
offense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other pur-
poses was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to the
ground. On this account the peasants
hailed a. windstorm as q blessing, be-
cause it was apt to cast enough OF
'.windfalls'' for winter firewood From
this old-time forestry custom comes the
modern application of the expression.
