Atlanta Journal, 1933 GIVING A DOG AWAY The following is an interesting Georgia story from The Sunny South, Atlanta, Ga.. April 6, 1889. Max and Moritz were the only male youngsters in the family. The first named one day brought a dog home, a horrid ugly creat ure, to the disgust of the female portion of the household. At length the oldest of the sisters persuaded little Max to take the dog back where he found it, or give it away, and gave him threepence for his trouble. Max started off with the cur and returned in half an hour, munching the remains of the last of the nuts he had bought with his sister’s money. “Well, what have you done with that ugly brute?” The lat ter inquired. “Give it to Monitz,” was the reply. Let It Go and Enjoy a Duet Willie was destined to be a great violinist —at least so thought his mother. But one evening, while Willie was practicing on his fiddle, she got a bit of a shock. Her husband stamped in from the garden and glared at his son. “Why didn’t you tell me that Willie was going to practice on his violin tonight?” he demanded “I’ve spent half an hour oiling the gate!” DR. W. B. ROSE ENDORSES SCALF'S WaiW IV. B. ROSS W. B. Rose, highly respected physician of LaFollette, Tenn., writes: "Several years ago I en dorsed Scalf’s Indian River Medicine as of recognized merit in that it is a splendid stomachic medicine and appetizer, offering relief from such symptoms as smothering gas pressure pains after eating which often cause loss of rest and sleep; and from a weak, tired, rundown feeling loss of weight and strength, due to undernourishment when brought on by poor appetite. I am a great believer in herbal medicines and I know that the herbs contained in Scalf’s In dian River Medicine have merit.” If you are suffering the agonizing pains of gaseous stom ach distress, or if you feel weak, tired and rundowm because a poor appetite has robbed you of proper nourishment ,then try Scalf’s Indian River Medicine.
