"Muqj Is overworked WORD.

The most overworked word in the
Englishman's vocabulary Of slang is
Mug" AS a noun it may mean a
face, a fool, or student who prefers
reading to sport. As verb its mean
ings are still more varied. 1t may
mean to study hard, or to strike in the
face. 1t also means to rob or swindIe.
and among actors to grimace or make
faces. To mug up is also, in theatrical
parlance, TO make up.
Finally, to mug ones self is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being
one of mugginess There is more OBJ
vious sense in this last use of the
word than in some of the others, for
alehouses, in the eighteenth century,
were commonly known as mughouses.
Mug is the English equivalent of the
German Zug, which Mark Twain found
to means everything. a new sense Of
the verb mug in the American slang
is to photograph face.

got pair Of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. 1 cried night and
day. Then 1 decided to try Cuticura

hope as I had gone so long There
was marked change the second day,
and SO on until I was entirely cured.
