Your correspondent learns from
Rob Champlin that his father in law,
DR.. o. H. McMicheal of Minneapolis,
has not been enjoying his usual good
health for the past few weeks, hav-
ing an attack of stomach trouble
Vernon Center friends cannot imagine
their genial doctor as ailing, for no
one, even the old timers, can ever
remember the doctor as having a
sick day, during his forty years pract-
ice in this place, and it is believed

result of having too much ease and
leisure, having thus diagnosed the
case. The correspondent sends the
following prescription gratis: Come
back to the old camping ground and
resume some of your former stunts,
such as a sprint out to Lewisville,
Granada or Sterling, behind faithful
old Dobbin, doubling the dose every
other day, keep this up for two weeks
and we warrant the same splendid
health as you did in the days of
Aud Lang Syne. ~
