PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but 1t was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t
was SO painful that I had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammatlons resulted in the
loss of the nail. l had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later l began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from a doctor of
friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders Of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at meeting Of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon Doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one OF the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only 8 per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

Four implements suffice, and in fact

If the nails have been neglected, it
will take time and patience to get

not trim it off, but push 1t carefully

If necessary, lift the skin from the

polishing powder may be used once or

the chamois polisher every day gives
the finishing touch to manicuring.

According to the text, many and
varied accounts have been published
OF the life Of Mother Shipton. She
was the child of an orphan girl named
Agatha Sontheil. who lived near
the dropping well. Agatha was
born about 1872. or 20 years before
the discovery of America. Her child
was misshapen. The date of her birth
is set at July, 1888. After the child's

Her mental powers were first no
ticed by her ability as youthful
scholar. She was said also to have
had peculiar power over her school
fellows, and ability to pull their hair,
pinch them and throw them to the
ground without being near them.
Ursula was neither so ugly in per-
son nor SO uncanny in mind that she
could not find husband, and when

the nation, and finally of the entire

the nobility and high church digni-

Through frequent repetition in tho
prints of the present time, her prophe-

lated to things that were to happen in
England. and did happen. such as the
accession of Queen Elizabeth and her
reign; the death of Mary queen of
Scots; the great plague of London,
and the great fire; the various wars

the Spanish armada; the reign of
James 1; the gunpowder plot; the
union in marriage Of the royal houses
of England with those of German
