"Coffee chewing is a habit easily contracted," said a physiciaD, "because the taste of the crisp, fresh roasted berries is quite pie?aut. But the exhilaration and stimulus the berries give are quite as marked an fhaf which would be obtained from a glass or two of beer or a drink of whiskey. It is this exhilaration that leads to the formation of the habit and makes it hard to break. Its effects are more injurious than tobacco chewing. I have had occasion to treat several men for the coffee chewing habit. They have to be gradually weaned away from it, just as with other stimulants. It takes three or four months to accomplish results." The Best Doctor. Rev. B. C. Horton, Sulphur Springs, Texas, writes July 19th, 1899: "I have used in my family Ballard's Snow Liniment and Horehound Syrup, and they have proved certainly satisfactory.

Many Mothers of a Like Opinion. Mrs. Pilmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says: "One of my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the giving of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy promptly, always brought relief. Many mothers in this neighborhood think the same as I do about this remedy and want no other kind for their chidren." For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Rough on the Widow. Telephone mistakes may have their serious sides, says the New Yorker. A man who wanted to communicate with another named Jones looked in the directory and then called up a cumber. Presently came through the receiver a short feminine "Hello!1' and he asked, "Who is that!" "This is Mrs! Jones." "Have you any idea where your husband is!" He couldn't understand why she "rang off" so sharply until he looked in the book again and discovered that he had called up, the residence of a widow. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of B lain view, Neb., writes: "My wife suffered from lung trouble for fifteen jears. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope.
