$Ints and Helps foL' the Sick Roofl
The ebild, as a child, ie very sympa-
thetic and receptive, exid should be
studied es such an individual. When
we have, a Spoiled e;atld to deal with,
says the Doctor, we must memo that
one from certain .whims and fannies,
We must nut only rescue him but, in
doing so, take caro that we do not resort
to any means which may prove disast-
rous to us as individuals capable of
oxeroleing control over our fellow be -

has had considerable experionee an
this
direction, Every physician cannot make
friends' with the child any more
than every individualcan make
friends with his fellow -men; eo that
sometimes disappointments meet us.
When we think we are accomplishing
INE
the object in view the child suddenly
becomes rebellious, takes a dislike to us,
and then we might as well, give up,tbe
task and try to alleviate hs sufferings
in some other way. A great deal de-
pends upon the manner in which the
child is approached.
1.1 you approach a sick cbild in the
manner in which you approach an adult,
in nine cases out of ten you will fail.
On the other hand, if you resort to
some device, some system that you may
plan for yourself, you can in a very
few moments subue the most rebel-
Hous abild, and he not only will not be
afraid of you, but be will very soon en-
ter into conversation and fall into the
trap you have set for him, when you
will have no further trouble. If you go
into the sick -room and immediately ap-
proach the bed with a spoon to, give a
dose of medicine, you will fail in nine
cages out of ten; bat if you resort to a
little policy in attempting to overcome,
the child's prejudices, to make him ac-
quainted with you, then you can do al-
most anything you. desire. This is sicu-
pie enough. Every child, no matter how
poor its parents may be. has a toy in
the room, grobably occupying the most
conspicuous place; with a girl it is, per-
haps, a doll; with a boy, a horse, cow,.
or wagon. It should be our object to
interest yourself in the toy, and with
Cabo. this interest comes the child's interest
server.'
There is scarcely any change and lit -
of special interest in the trade sit-
uation throughout the 'United States,
as reported bythe two leading com-
mercial agenolee from New York. In
most lines stocks are spoken of as be-
ingunusually, large, and prices diffi-
cult tomaintain or lower, and no change
of consequence will occur now until
after the Christmas vacation. Still,
factories are kept going wholly or in
part better than was expected would
be the case a few weeks bask. The
opening of Congress has had no percep-
tible effect on business. Makers of
woollen goods are not very active, and
dress goods are in lighter demand. Iron
and its products are lower. Copperand
tin are also weaker. Anthracite coal is
quoted lower. The shipments of boots
and shoes have considerably increased,
and orders are plentiful, but prices low.
Leather and hides have both declined
somewhat during the week.

Gentlemen: I received a letter
from you May 27th, stating that you
had heard of my wonderful recov-
ery from a spell of sickness of six
years duration, through the use of
Sours Akisnlo4s 1 issvnns, and asking
for my testimonial. 1 was near
thirty-five years old when I took
crown with nervous prostration. Our
family physician treated me) but with-
out benefitting ins in the least. My
nervous system seemed to be entirely
shattered, and I constantly had very
severe shading spells. In addition
to this I would have vomiting spells.
During the years I lay sick; my folks
had an eminent physician from Day-
ton, Ohio, and two from Columbus,
Ohio, to come and examine me.
They all said I could not live. I
got to having spells like spasms, and
Mould lie cold and stiff for a time
after each. At last I lost the use of
my body—could net rise from my bed
or walk a step, and had to be Ufteli
like a child. Part' of the time I
could read a little, and. one day saw
an advertisement of your medicine•
and concluded to try one bottle. By
the time I bad taken one and or-,
half bottles I could rise up and tiigo
a step or two by being helped, and
after I bad taken five bottles in at 3
felt real well. The shaking wee)
away gradually, and I could eat and
sleep good, and ivy friends could
scarcely believe it was I. I am sore
this medicine is the best in the world.
I belive it saved my life. I give my
name and address, so that if anyone
doubts my statement they oan write
me, or our postmaster or'any citizen; ,
as all are acquainted with my case..
I am now forty-one years of age.
and expect to live as long as this
Lord has use for me and do all the
good I .can in helping the suffering.
