 stone, should have one of these Tool-Holders.

 grind much faster, easier and with perfect 

 accuracy. Will bold any kind of tool, from 

 the smallest chisel to a draw shave or ax. 

 Extra attachment for sharpening scythe 

 blades included in the above price. The work

 the clothes, aj the water flows from the opera- 

 tor. It can be attached to any size stone for 

 baud or steam power, is always ready for use, 

 nothinif to get out of order, and is absolutely

Not "Wver Trouble." 



That's just where you are mistaken, 

 and I am glad to set you right. Now, 

 Brother Simpson, you simply have your 

 ■wife make you a reasonably strong tea of 

 what you know to be yellow dock — from 

 the root of it, mind you; and drink a hot 

 cup of it Hrst thing on getting up and on 

 going to hei,. and you'll be surprised how 

 nicely, and quickly, that tearing, pulling, 

 and generally bad feeling in your liver will 

 leave you. Nonsense! don't you believe a 

 word of it. It is no more a cancer than 

 that knot on your fence-post! You keep 

 up this suggestion a few weeks, and see if 

 you donf report a well man ! 



Piiiclied Fiiisers. 



Ginger! That's a pretty bad pinch, my 

 boy. Very sorry tor you, Charlie, but 

 we'll keep on those fingers. We'll bind 

 them up separately in linen cloths, then 

 coat them over with shellac varnish, and 

 let the dressing stay on until the crushed 

 fingers are healed. But you had better 

 keep away from those railroad cars after 

 this! Where the flesh is not mangled, the 

 varnish alone would do. 



An Ax Cnt. 



That's just what happened to me, Mr. 

 Stone. In splitting wood, the ax acciden- 

 tally glanced and split my foot badly. But 

 it was nicely dressed and healed in a few 

 weeks. Lockjaw — stuff! Never had a 

 twinge of it, then nor since— some 40 years. 

 There, there, don't think of such foolish- 

 ness. You'll be ready for the nest piece of 

 carelessness in a short time. Yes, witch 

 hazel is a very good application— so is pure, 

 unadulterated manly yrlt. 



Boil Treatment. 



So, Miss Daisy, you have a big boil, eh ? 

 Well, I don't claim they are such great 

 comforters, as some folks tell about, but 

 they do have their usefulness in bringing 

 effete substances in the system to the sur- 

 face. If you really won't have it lanced, 

 then you'd better poultice it so as to make 

 it break. Perhaps the cleanest, most effec- 

 tive and the stickitest thing you can put 

 on, is the skin of an egg — the side that 

 grows next to the shell. My, how it does 

 hang on, and draw !
