“No Physic, Sir, in Mine!”

A good story comes from a boys’ boardingschool in “Jersey.” The diet was monotonous and constipating, and the learned Principal decided to introduce some old-style physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy results. One bright lad, tho smartest in school, discovered the secret mine in his sauce, and pushing back his plate, shouted to the pedagogue, - 8 No : physic, sir, in mine. My dad told me to use nuthin’ hut Dr. Pierce’s ‘Pleasant Purgative Pellets.’and they are doing their duty like a charm!” They are anti-hilious, and purely vegetable. A Haverill woman refused to shoo her hens because her husband, a shoemaker, was on strike. —Lowell Citizen,
