What Your Great Grandmother Did,

wool, and wovo the linen, end spun the tow.
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. Bfce made butter and cheese,
she dittoed tallow candles, to light the house
at nignt, and she cooked all the food for her
household by nn open lire place and A brick
oven. Yes; ami when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady wboee best
days were over. Her shoulder* were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacles and a cap.
Her greet granddaughter, with oil the
modem conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be os charming and attract*
ive at forty-five as at twenty. Especially is
this true if she preserves her health by the
use of Dr. Fiends Favorite Prescription,
which wards oil all female ailments and ir*
s the life current healthful and vigorous,
and enables the woman of middle age to re*
tain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and
Cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and
Its elasticity in her step.

clstott. "That man down in Asbttry

turned his head That’s all there wus
alsuit it Do you remember what

•Why. of course, who doesn’t?’
•Well, it’s <|nite easy to cure a disease

and found a lot of dogs shut up We
asked to be allowed to take them away

with those .logs? After the excitement
was all over they were given back to

A CASK OK IMAGINATION.
Then yon don’t believe in the exist
ence of stteb a disease?" I asked, think
ing Hint, as Mr. Hankinson probably
knows more about animals titan nny
other man in America, be mnst be ge.nl
authority.
" No. I don’t. There may be such n
disease, but I don't believe it. I never
saw a case or knew of one positively."
How al»mt these doctors who cure
it?" I asked
They don’t cure anything I naked a
matt who makes a *i>ec-iulty of treating
hydrophobia, as lie calls it, if lie ever saw
one single case of hydrophobia to which
beootlld swear. He refused to answer, hut
he told me this story ’A man came to
him oue day in temliledistvess. He had
been bitten by a dog; lie feared madness;
he could not sleep at night and was
afraid lie was going to die. He iH-gged
the doctor to treat him The doctor said
it was too late; the period of inocula
tion Imd passed, and it would be no good
now. If he had hydrophobia there was
no way to stop it.’
The man went away, but came back
tile next day nearly frantic. He hadn't
slept a wink and liegg.-d the doctor tb do
something fur hiut So the doctor took
the Hiatt iuto his o|ierating mom and
gave him a hyisideniiic injection of
water—just pure Cr.it.nt water. He
went unity, slept for the first time in
two weeks mid came buck the next day
for more water, and again the next, and
was soon perfectly cured The doctor
told me that himself, and lie professes to
cure hydrophobia.
BUB WAS HAD
'Why,' continued Mr. Hunajntou.
•I've bad a woman in hysterics right in
thst chair yuu're sitting in because a dog
had bitten her. She wanted me to kill
the dug. I wouldn’t .do it. Then she
screamed in h terrible way. When she
stopped I said to her; ‘Madam, yon ought
to be ashamed of yonrself. A woman of
your intelligence! You're interrupted
the business of the office and drawn a
big crowd nnder the window to listen to
yonr yelling, and all for a whim. Some
body told yon you were going to go mad,
and now yon think you ought to go mad
und you'll be mad if yon don’t go mad.
Yon just go home and say nothing about
it and you’ll lie all right.' And she di.l it.
‘Another woman brought Iter boy in.
He had been bitten by a mad dog. Hnd
she wanted it shot, she said The boy
looked perfectly well.
Now, luok here,' said I. 'you've been
talking a good deal to the boy about
this, haven't yon? And the neighbors
have too? And you've been telling him
that lie's likely to have hydrophobia,
haven't you?'
Yes. of course, we've talked about
it.' said she
" ’Exactly,' said I. 'You’ve been tak
ing the precise course likely to drive
hint mad ur make him think himself so.
Yon have been trying to scare aim to
death. If he were to go crazy it would
be your fault. How is it, bub,’ sai.l i.
turning to the little fellow 'Yon don't
aijs-ct to go mail, do you?'
"No, he didn't think lie should, lie
said. He didn't feel any different. He
was a brave little fellow. So I sent
tb nn home. tis>. anil that was the last I

Such complexions ns so many of our
young ladles possess—dull, pimply, and
covered with sores and blackheads, is
enough to cool the ardor of the warmest

smooth, attractive, kissable complexion,
unless your blood Is healthy nnd pure,
for the condition of tho blood decides
the complexion. Dr. Pierce's Golden
