BOWSER GETS A SCARE
His Root Tonic Has a Double Back
Action Kick in 1t.

One of Mr.. Bowser's hobbies is the
family medicine-chest, and the quack
who wants to get his money has only
to go to him with some new spring
tonic, a winter porous plaster, a fall
liver pad, or an every day cure for
rheumatism. There is at this moment
in a closet set apart in the Bowser
mansion for that purpose more sure
cures for coughs, colds, influenza, hay
fever, catarrh, toothache, rheumatism,
torpid liver, neuralgia,
general decline, yellow fe-
yer, smallpox, cholera morbus and
than any New York hos

She was interested in a book and

out wiping off his chin he said:

He half fell out of bed, lighted the
night lamp, and he was almost bent
double as he made his way down
stairs. Mrs. Bowser followed him half
way, knowing what was coming. She
heard him clatter the bottles around
for two or three minutes, and then,
seeming to hold one in either hand,
he muttered:

hour she had him in bed again and
asleep. Next morning he was as
blythe as if nothing had occurred, but
just before breakfast, when she asked
him if he'd forgotten his spring tonic,
he turned on her with:
