A Financial Blow.

The Importance of a letter or two it amusingly illustrated in a story, from the New York Times, of Prpf. E. Ray Lankester and an elderly woman from the country, who called upon him in his office in the natural history department of the British Museum, London. She carried a parcel which she handled with the most exaggerated care. She was In a state of great excitement, and exclaimed: -.. .. 2 "I’ve got two of ’em!” “Two of what?” inquired the professor. “Two ’awk’s eggs,” replied the woman. “I’m told they’re worth a thousand pounds apiece.” The professor, much interested, looked at the eggs. “These are not auk’s eggs,” he said. “They are ’awk’s eggs,” said his visitor. “My son Joe found ’em.” A light dawned on the naturalist “The kind of eggs which are so valuable,”. he remarked, gently, “are the eggs of an extinct bird called the auk—-a-u-k.” “Oh, hauk!” the woman. “I’ll pay out that ’Enry ’Obhouse, as he told me It was 'awk’s eggs you wanted.” And she went away.

There are plenty of people who have become depressed and discouraged, because that dry, hacking cough hangs to them continually. They have taken much medicine, mostly of the advertised quack sort, nothing like Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea. the discovery of a then noted German physician 00 years ago. We do not say that this will cure a case where the lungs are badly diseased, for jt will not, and up to this date there is nothing that will cure under these conditions; but on the other hand, if the lungs are not hard hit, the patient should take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, a cup full every night on going to bed,- have it hot, drink slowly, then- every other night, rub the-throat and top portion of the lungs with St. Jacobs OU, cover with oil silk, let it remain an hour, then remove. Eat good, plain, nourishing food, live in the open air as much as possible. By all means sleep as near out of doors possible, that is, windows wide open, except in very severe weather. Take a cold sponge bath every morning; then immediately rub the body vigorously with', a coarse towel. Take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Drops every other day according tn directions. One can buy the three remedies for $1.25 of any reliable druggist. Begin the treatment at once, and see how much better you will be almost within a week’s time.
