An Old Time ouaek.

Tn the right hands it is a poor root that will not work both ways. An old quack doctor, according to the Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Herald, was once called to see a boy who had chills and fever.
 He proceeded to scratch the bark off root and put some. in one glass of water and some in another glass of water.
 "Give the medicine In this glass for the chills," he then said to the lads mother, "but give this in the other glass when the fever comes on.'
 "But, doctor" the mother protested, ''it is exactly the same in both glass; es."
 "Oh, not at all," declared the quack.
 "But I saw you scrape the bark of the same root and put 1t in each glass;"
 "Yes," admitted the quack smoothly, "but you didn't see how did 1t, my dear lady. This for the chills scrape up on the root, and that makes 1t high cockalorum. This for the fever I scrape down on the root, and that makes 1t low cockahighrum."

Be Cheerful in the
 Sick Room

One of the strangest things we know. and thing that is often done by our best friends, is the going into sick room with anything but joyful news, glad tidings and cheerful subject to talk upon. The idea of going Into a home where a member of family is i'll and telling the sick one of the death of certain persons whose affilc- tions were similar to those suffered by tine invalid, and predicting all kinds of calamatles from insanity to leprosy is the greatest wrong that can be done. Could the visitor know the effect such talk has upon an invalid, especially one who is liable to be left alone for some time after the visitor leaves, we are sure it would not be repeated to the next invalid visited. Bodily weak ness makes the mind more suscepti- able to foreboding thoughts, and when the line of conversation has no words of cheer, the sick one is bound to worry, especially when left alone with no companion but their thoughts. Cases have been known where hus- band, on returning home at night has found sick wife Tn state of hysteria after visit from one of her dearest friends who told the history of all the deaths of people she knew whose cases were similar to the aiment of the
 ady then sick. Have something to laugh about, tell funny stories-any- thing but the dark side, should be shown to an invalid.
