neglected and forgotten, but was rein

stops and symbols being dealgued by
Warnefrled and Alculn.
The present system of punctuation

the hospital the following week.
"Ah. sir," be said. "I begin to recog
nlze why it is that St Bartholomews
hospital has such a great reputation! 1
come from Leicester aud have been to
all the doctors in Leicester. Tour oint
ment has done me more good in one
week than all the ointment of the doc
tors of Leicester in many mouths."
That result added the doctor, wns
owing to the fact that the man came
to St Bartholomews believing that be
could be cured there. London Graphic.
