5 Sores
In combination, proportion and
process Hood's Sarsaparilla is pt culiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed so
touch curative power, or reached such
■enormous sales, or made such won
derful cures, as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
It is undoubtedly the best medicine
ever made to purify, vitalize and en
rich the blood.
That is the secret of its success.
Read this statement:
“ When my son was 7 years of age, ho
had Rheumatic fever and acute rheuma
tism, which settled in his left hip. Ho
Was so sick that no one thought there was
* any help tor him. Five sores broke out
on his thigh, which the doctor said ware
Scrofula
sores. We had three different doctors.
Pieces of bone came out of the sores. The
last doctor said the leg would have to be
cut open and the bone scraped, before he
could get well. Howard became so low
that he would eat nothing, and one doc
tor said there was no ehance for him.
“ One day, a newspaper recommending
Hood's Sarsaparilla was left at our door.
We decided to try this medicine. Howard
commenced taking it the last of February,
after having been sick for a year and a
Cured
half. He hadn’t taken it a week before I
aaw that his appetite began to improve,
and then he gained rapidly. I gave him
five bottles, when the sores were all healed
and they never broke out again. The
crutches he had used for four years were
laid aside, as he had no further use sot
them. I give all the credit to Hood’s Sar
saparilla.” Mrs. Ada L. Moody, Fay

t HEBE’S GRATITUDE.
HQW SHE REMEMBERED THE MAN
WHO CURED HER FOOT.
The Story Told by a Veterinary Surgeon
Who Early In His Career Had One of
1 Barnum’s Elephants For a Patient—A
A Trying Ordeal.
I was a flull fledged M. D. once and
never should have thought of adopting
> my present profession if it hadn’t been
for a queer accident which occurred
yhen I first hjing out my shingle.
1 had a rich neighbor, a man I was
bound to propitiate, and the very first
call I had, after days of waiting for pa
tients who didn’t come, was to his barn
to see what was the matter with his sick
mare. I cured the mare and took in my
shingle, for from that day to this I’ve
never prescribed for a human being. I
had won a reputation as a veterinary
surgeon and had to stick to it. But
that’s neither here nor there, only if
you think animals can’t show gratitudfe
and affection perhaps you’ll change
your mind.
When I had been in practice a year or
two, I sent for my brother Dick. He was
a wonderful chap with all kinds of ani
mals, and I thought perhaps I could
work out of my part of it and leave that
for him. I never did, for Dick’s a cot
ton broker in New York now, and I
should have to begin all over again to
make a first rate physician. But that’s
what I meant to be then.
The next day after Dick came I got a
telegram from P. T. Barnum. I’d been
down there once or twice to his own
stable, and he had a good deal of faith
in me. The dispatch was:
“Hebe has hurt her foot. Come at
once.”
’ Hebe Was a favorite elephant—a
splendid creature, and worth a small
fortune.
Well, I confess I hesitated. I dis
trusted my own ability and dreaded the
result. But Dick was determined to go,
and go we did. When we got out of the
cars, Barnum himself was there with a
splendid pair of matched grays. He eyed
me very dubiously.
‘‘l’d forgotten you were such a little
fellow, ’ ’ he said in a discouraged tone.
“I’m afraid you can’t help her. ”
His distrust put me on my mettle.
“Mr. Barnum,” said I, getting into
the carriage, “if it comes to a hand to
hand fight between Hebe and me I don't
believe an extra foot or two of height
would help me any. ’ ’
, He laughed outright, and began tell
ing how the elephant was hurt. She
had stepped on a small bit of iron and
it had penetrated the tender part of the
foot. She was in intense agony and al
most wild with pain.
Long before we reached the inclosure
in which she was we could hear her
piteous trumpeting, and when we en
tered we found her on three legs, swing
ing the hurt foot slowly backward and
forward and uttering long cries of an
guish. Such dumb misery in her looks
—poor thing!
Even Dick quailed now.
"You can never get near her,” he
whispered. “She’ll kill you, sure.”
Her keeper divined what he said.
“Don’t you be afraid, sir,” he called
out to me. “Hebe’s got sense. ”
I took my instruments from Mr. Bar
num.
•*‘l like your pluck, my boy,” he said
heartily, but I own that 1 tcit rather
queer and shaky as I went up to the
huge beast.
The men employed about the show
came around us curiously, but at a re
spectful and eminently safe distance, as
I bent down to examine the foot.
While I was doing so as gently as I
could I felt, to my horror, a light touch
on my hair. It was as light as a wom
an’s, but as I turned and saw the great
trunk behind me it had an awful sug
gestiveness.
“She’s only curling your hair,” sang
out the keeper. “Don’t mind her.”
“I shall have to cut, and cut deep, ”
said I byway of reply.
He said a few words in some lingo,
which were evidently intended for the
elephant’s understanding only. Then
he shouted with the utmost coolness:
“Cut away!”
The man’s faith inspired me. There
he stood, quite unprotected, directly in
front of the great creature, and quietly
jabbered away to her as if this were an
everyday occurrence.
Well, I made one gash with the knife.
I felt the grasp on my hair tighten per
ceptibly, yet not ungently. Cold drops
of perspiration came out all over me.
“Shall I cut again?” I managed to
call out.
“Cut away.” came again the encour
aging response.
This stroke did the work.- The abscess
was lanced. We sprayed out the foot,
packed it with oakum and bound it
up. The relief must have been immedi
ate, for the grasp on my hair relaxed,
the elephant drew a long, almost human,
sigh, and—well, I don’t know what
happened next, for I fainted dead away.
Dick must have finished the business
and picked up me and my tools. I was
as limp as a rag.
It must have been a year and a half
after this happened that I was called to
western Massachusetts to see some fancy
horses. Barnum’s circus happened to be
there. You may be sure that I called to
inquire for my distinguished patient.
“Hebe’s well and hearty, sir,” the
keeper answered me. “Come in and see
her. She’ll be glad to see you. ”
“Nonsense,” said I, though I confess
I had a keen curiosity to see if she would
know me as I stepped into the tent.
There she stood, the beauty, as well
as ever. For a moment she looked at me
indifferently, then steadily and with in
terest. She next reached out her trunk
and laid it caressingly first on my shoul
der and then on my hair—how vividly
her touch brought back to my mind the
cold shivers I endured at my introduc
tion to her!—and then she slowly lifted
up her foot, now whole and healthy,
and showed it to me. That’s the sober
truth. —Chicago News.
DON QUIXOTE’S BIRTHPLACE
The Village of Argamanllla, a Picturesque
and Primitive Spot.
Before us the village of Argamasilla,
“birthplace of Den Quixote” the guide
book says unblushingly, revealed more
and more distinctly, its white houses
nestled under the trees. The purple
Sierras, dreamy sentinels'of the plains,
stood on the extreme border of the hori
zon. Above it all wonderfully shaped
clouds made against the azure back
ground an exquisite mosaic of translu
cent tones.
We entered the pueblo with crackling
whip. Not a soul was to be seen until
the solitary slouchy figure of the inn
keeper emerged from under the mat
covering the door of the posada—“Al
Parador del Carmen, Casa Gregorio. ’ ’
Gregorio, hardly able to repress his as
tonishment at the unusual sight of a
guest, looked at the horses and said
nothing. But the driver kindly ven
tured an introduction. “He is for you,
Gregorio.” “Yes,” I added, “and for
some time, I hope, Don Gregorio, if I
may have a bed in your house.” A
“don” well placed never fails to please
a Spaniard, even if he be that most in
dependent and despotic of beings, an
innkeeper of low order. “Os course,
senor, and why not?” and upon these
slight preliminaries I followed Gregorio
under the straw curtain.
My first look at the Parador del Car
men did my Quixote self good, for it
was the most picturesque place imagina
ble. Here at last I had plunged from
civilization and nineetenth century to
the condition of ancient days and ap
parently reached bottom. “Apparently’ ’
is said advisedly, for later on I was to
see infinitely more primitive scenes.
However, this first sensation at passing
from the glare to that smelly purplish
interior, comfortless, but plentiful of
dirt, was intense.—August F. Jaccaci
in Scribner’s.
A Barb Wire Boomerang.
“I’ve effectually stopped those blamed
dogs from digging up the lawn,” said
Mr. Baxter as he sighed and dropped
heavily into his chair at the breakfast
table.
“What have you done, dear?” in
quired Mrs. B. as she raised the lid and
peered into the coffeepot.
Mr. Baxter chuckled.
“I got some pieces of barb wire and
buried them in the lawn, sprinkling
enough dirt over them to hide their out
lines. The first neighborhood dog that
goes for that lawn will get a jolly pair
of sore paws. ”
Mrs. Baxter joined in his laughter.
“That’s a very clever idea, my dear, ”
she sweetly said.
Just at that moment a frightful
chorus of yelps and howls came from
the front yard, and in rushed little John
Wesley carrying the family pet dog.
“Oh, mamma,” he cried, “Pippo’s
foot is all bleedin. ”
Mrs. Baxter received the wounded
dog in her matronly arms with a look
of supreme contempt at her liege lord.
“John Wesley Baxter,” she freez
ingly remarked, “of all the fool schemes
I ever heard of, this last one of yours
takes the blue ribbon for unmitigated
idiocy.”
And she swept from the room.—

Bottled Up!
Whether in the form of pill powdei
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription fol
blood diseases is always the same—
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair oi
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones, —a con
dition truly horrible.
