“that developed a cough that stuck to
rne, in spite of all remedies, for years.
My weight ran down to 180 jiounds.
Then I began to use Dr. King’s New
Diecovery, which restored my health
completely. I now weigh 178 pounds.”

Hemorrhages, Asthma, and to prevent

Apologists for the liquor trallic arc
fond of saying that the drinking na
tions of the world have been the stiong
and progressive nations. In a recent
magazine article a writer said:
“Now, as ever, it is the drinking peo
ples that lead the progress of human
ity. The Jews drank and gave up mo
notheism. The Greeks drank and gave
us art and literature. The Romans
drank and gave us law. The Teutons
drank and gave us liberty. Britain lias
drank, not always wisely, and estab
lished commerce. What have the tee
total races done for the betterment of
the world?”
Statements IiUo that often go unchal
lenged just because nobody happens to
take the trouble to look the matter up
or to give the subject a f e\v moments’
serious thought.
But in this case somebody has taken
the trouble, and here is the answer giv
en:
“The Jews drank, of course, but
where are the Jews now? They arc
scattered ovei the earth without any
national home.
“Greeks drank, of course, but where
are the Greeks now? The Greek civili
zation is a matter of history and their

His Sign Down-
A disheveled man, much the worse
lor liquor, staggered out of n Main
“speak-easy” and laboriously propped
himself against the door. For awhile
he owishly surveyed the passers-by.
Suddenly his foot f lipped and he col
lapsed in a heap on the sidewalk. A
moment later he was snoring.
A hurrying pedestrian paused, re
flectively surveyed the fallen man for a
few seconds, and then poked his head
in the door.
“Oil, Frank he called. Frank. Lome
out here a minute.”
Presently the proprietor of the joint,
smoking a fat cigar, emerged. He
blinked in the bright sunlight,
“Hello, Hud,” lie said pleasantly.
“What’s up?”
Hud jerked his thumb toward the
slumberer on the sidewalk.
“Yer sign has fell down,” lie ex
plained, and briskly resumed his walk
uptown.—Evekyuody’s Magazine.
descendants are now peddling peanuts
to abstainers on the street conn;,is of
American cities.
“The Romans drank, of course, but
where is the Roman empire today? It
is a matter of ancient history, and the
descendants of these drinking Romans
arc now prowling around American
cities with monkeys und hand organs,
using oil' the pennies tossed them by
abstaining Americans.
“The Teutons drank, of course, but
what ‘lioerly 1 did we get fioin the Teu
tons? The Teutons for years have been
running away from the tyranny and
oppression of the Teutonic government
to find liberty under the prohibition
laws »f America.
I “The Britons drank, of course. But
, it requires 800,000 of these drinking
British trained troops to subdue 25,000
abstaining Dutch farmers.
“Greece and Rome both died drunk.
“Wise men are now writing articles
on the decay of France, another drink
ing nation.
“Russia has the delirium tremens,'
and will soon die or reform. Japan, a
temperance nation, with the oldest dy
nasty on earth, chased the vodka-soak
ed Russians all over Euslern Asia.”

A Cure for Cholera.
A little flock of chickens, for nearly a
year their owner’s pride and delight,
enjoyed apparently perfect health at
night, but the next morning nearly a
liftli of the flock lay dead. While
these were being properly interred, a
sixth of the remaining fowls followed
their sisters, and the heart of the owner
grew very heavy. J ust at this time a
neighbor came to the rescue, talked
learnedly of cholera and prescribed
Venetian Red mixed with their food.
The remedy wus procured and mixed
not only with their food but scattered
in the drinking vessels ; and now, after
two weeks, there nave been no more
deaths.
From February Fakm Jouknal.
