A NAGGING WIFE.
A FACT. A speaker was holding.fortb on woman, and he made out that she was just a little '■angel on earth. In glowing words lie piccufecLhOw patient she was in Buffering, 'how courageous in trouble, and how altogether gentle, loving, and good she was under all circumstances, and closed his peroration by declaring that any man who laid his hand on a woman, save in the act of kindness, was a monster. After the lecture, a pale, haggard, woe-begona looking man shuffled up to the speaker and said, '* Look here, mister, Fve heard what you've been saying about woman; all about how nice and sweet she is, why, one ■would imagine that you believed all women were just blushing full blown roses; I guess you don't know my wife. Weil she haint no blooming rose. She's a daisy, a reg'lar daisy; why, mister, my ■wife is a nagger, and there hain't an hour, ■whoii sne's awake, but what she's nagging someone. If it aiu't mc, it's the children; it it haiu'fc the children, it's the cat. ThereIs nothing thai escapes her nagging tongue, and the only time any of us gets any rest is when she has nagged herself to sleep." How like the nerves o£ a man who drinks; they just nacg?, nagg all the time, giviag no rest until enough liquor has ueen t&keu to deaden all nervous sensibility, and the poor fellow goes off in that sodden, snorin-j, miserable state that la bat the rattling skeleton of a healthy altep. E. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 1 puts bu end to all this nagging of the nerves by destroying all desire tot liquor. . B.T. Booth/s Golden Remedy No. 2 is the, best Brain and Nerve Tonic on this earth. All chemists.
