NOT A SUCCESS.

A Dose That Disagreed a* Soon a* ' It Was Taken. This story was told by an old physician who had practiced for nearly fifty years In % small country town. One day hie was summoned to a farmhouse where hq, found a woman In a hglh fever and evidently exceedingly 111. He said to her husband, wbc was th* only other person In the house: N - "Tour wife Is very sick and must have nothing to eat except milk and beef tea, bat I want yon to -give a cup of one or the other every two hours.” When he came the next morning and asked about bis patient the hoeband said: “That beef tea don't agree with her, doctor. It oertalnly don’t. She began to feel bad as soon as she took it.” "That’s.odd,” said the doctor. “You didn't give Her any little bits of the meat in it, did you?" “No, sir, I strained it first on aocount of the grounds.” “Groundsl" roared the doctor. “What did you make that beef tea out of?” “Corn beef and the best green tea. I boiled ’em together all yesterday afternoon to get the strength out. But It don't agree with her, doctor. It certainly don’t."-—Youth’s Companion.
