Bidding and firewall to the young girl he was engaged to be nurried to, Jim went.
Two years afterwards I met him in town; ho was a hearty as a back, but walked with a limp. He had lost his right leg, below the knee, in a fight with a grizzly bear, and now hobbled around po a wooden one. And its all your fa be end, it hadn't been for your warice I'd hever goes there.

Well, then I was never so taken aback. My advice had saved Jim's lifts and restored his health, yet because he couldn't have two wound lega and a wife besides, he throw me arerboard, I vowed I'd never give anybody a bit of good advies again. I'd lot 'em die first. But that's where I was hasty and wrong. It is a mau's duty to keep on doing good, whether people are grateful or not. Here is Mr. Frank Stanley Longman. His wife gara him a piece of good advičs, and he was sensible enough to set on it. In June, 1892, it was that he fell . Ho falt weak, red, and weary without any outsid ressou for it. His appetite was your, there was! a bitter taste in his month, and a bad pslu' in the cheet and stomach altor asting. Sometimes he would break out into a sweet and feal opto- trated he'd has to be down. It was feared ho had some kind of internal tumour. Once he had an attack at the ratiway station, and people crowded round lim, thinking he was dying.
During another attack he kissed his child, bo- lieving his time had come. A destor examined him for heart disease, bus couldn't fly. E advised Langman to take only milk and brandy, wilk and water, and an eloj. Still he had those frightful periodic attacks. After attending him some time, the doctor said, "I can't änd out what is the matter with you; you had better see West End physician." Mr. Langan did so, and the West Rod doctor said the patient's Liver made too much bile, and ordered medicine and a milk diet.
