very appropriate and very
joyable.

“A doctor here has sued me for $ 12.50
which I claimed was excessive for a case
0 f cholera morbus, says R. White of Coa
chella, Cal. Aa the trial he praised his
medical skill and medicine. I asked him
if it was not Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy he used as I
had good reason to believe it was, and he
would not say under oath that it was not.”
No doctor could use a better remedy than
this in a case of cholera morbus, it never

The Kangaroo Rat.
One of the queerest little ani
mals of the antipodean wilds of
the parodoxical continent of
Australia is a little zoological
oditv which the naturalists have
called the kangaroo rat. It av
erages no'larger than the com
mon-rodent of the Norway va
riety, but is a miniature kanga
roo in every respect. Its mode
of locomotion is precisely the
same as that of the Micropus
giganteus. Besides this, the
female carries their young in
pouches which nature has pro
vided for the purpose and in
many other respects imitates
the habits and characteristics of
its gigantic relative.—Way cross
