“Nkvbr borrow trouble,” said a husband 
to his wife. “Oh, let her borrow it if she 
can,” exclaimed the next door neighbor; 
** she never returns anything, yon know.” 
“ Do y iu pretend to have as good judgment 
as I Lave?’’ exdrimed an enraged wife to her 
husband. “ Well, no,” he replied slowly, 
“our choice of partners for life shows that my 
judgment is not to be compared with yours.” 
‘•When I goes a-shopping,” said an old 
lady, 'T allers ask for what I wants; and if 
th<yhaveit, and it is suitable, aud I feel in¬ 
clined to buy it, and it is cheap, and can’t be 
got for less, I most allers takes it without 
clappering all day about it, as some people 
do.” 
PUysIclans Have Found Out

and aggregating as a calcareous, chalky deposit 
which produces all Guess and distortion of the 
Joluta. No ficr, which experience has demon¬ 
strated In regard to Hostetler s Stomach Hitters 
has stronger evidence tosupport it thau this, name¬

checks the formidable and atrocious disease, nor 
is it less positively establLstied that It Is prefera¬ 
ble io the pohons often used to arrest It, since the
