The Old Silver Spoon.

How fresh in my mind ere the days of my sickness. When I tossed me in pain, ell fevered end sore; The burning, the nausea, the sinking and weakness, And even the old spoon that my medicine bore. The old silver spoon, the family spoon, The sick-chamber spoon that my medioine bore. How loath were my fever-parched lipe to receive it, How nauseous the stuff that It bor# to my tongue, And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught oould relieve it, Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs it wrung. The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon. How awful the stuff that it left on my tongue. Such is the effect of nauseous, griping medicines which make the sick-room a memory of horror. Dr. Pieroe’e Pleasant Purgative Pellets, on the contrary, are small, sugar-coated, easy to take, purely vegetable, and perfectly effective. 25 cents a viaL “Which will you have, chloroform or laughing gas?" inquired the dentist “Ether will answer,” replied the patient. Don’t hawk, hawk, and blow, blow, disgusting everybody, but use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. A past man is very slow when it comes to paying his debts.
