He was a very honest man," continues the same authority; "abhorred any deceit in the art he studied; had a curious fancy in judging of thefts; and was successful in resolving love-questions.

"Do not apply leeches to the chest, for I would rather put blood into a child labouring under hooping-cough than take it out of him hooping-cough is quite weakening enough to the system of itself without robbing him of his life's blood; do not, on any account whatever, administer either emetic tartar or antimonial wine; do not give either paregoric or syrup of white poppies; do not drug him either with calomel or with grey-powder; do not dose him with quack medicine; do not give him stimulants, but rather give him plenty of nourishment, such as milk and farinaceous food, but no stimulants; do not be afraid, after the first week or two, of his having fresh air, and plenty of it for fresh, pure air is the grand remedy, after all that can be said and done, in hooping-cough.

"Why, no! It was only wine that I had bought for the purpose of making antimonial wine." Mr. Jones rose up in bed. "Not antimonial wine?" "No!" "Why the boy said it was." "Then he didn't know any thing about it. It was nothing but some common wine which I had bought." Mr. Jones took a long breath.

Another suggested that it had, no doubt, eaten something that disagreed with it, and that a little antimonial wine would enable it to throw it off; another advised a few grains of calomel, and another a dose of rheubarb. But I said: "No.

The cork was removed, and his nose applied to the mouth of the huge bottle. "Yes, it's wine; but I'll vow it's not much to brag of." And the cork was once more replaced. Just then came a knock at the door. Mrs. Jones opened it, and the store-keeper's lad appeared. "Mr. Smith says, please let me have the jug of antimonial wine he left here."
