that they asked him to come the next

asked each of the nuns to lend him a
stocking, and he filed the stockings
with sugar plums
In the making Of miice pies, which
form part Of regular Christmas
feast, mutton was the only meat for

a certain chap in Chicago last

First used by doctor who lost his
life in the Civil war.
Next used by doctor who studied

practiccd medicine for a period OF Sc

Old Hickory Tonic to large number
of his patients in all these years. He
died at the ripe old age OF eighty.five
years.
The formula was handed down to his
two sons who also became doctors.
They found the medicine so mcritor-

regular practice. One Of them has
now given 1t to his patients for thirty
years. Scarcely a day passes that he
