IJUUIIIITI There is no doubt at all of the old squire's gondifaith in the matter; he believed in` the tonic and felt certain that `it would do good. The terms-of the partnership. as I under- stood it. were that the old squire was to gather, cure and furnish the dried` thor-' oughwart in sufficient quantities and that Dr. Califf should make and bottle the con-' motion. The doctor was also to undertake the advertising and sale of it. In fact, he ' was to carry the business end of the enter- prise and to have general control of it, paying the old squire a royalty offifteen cents a bottle"on allsalee. Av-Hula- - .....4.......L2_ _.--- -L-~- - t 5-car puuuu uem.-wcwr: . He talked in that strain for some time and found the old squire measurably ready to agree with him. He was in truth a very . fluent talker, and the upshot of the con- versation was an agreement to make the tonic in considerable quantities and to put it on the market at a reasonable price a bottle. T "___V_ a I 1 . ,r.-u- urea` U1 uer neuu. _ - ' Thevstory of the tonic really begins with `the appearance of Dr`. Orrington Califf. a man who styled himself a physician and .perl'Iap8 was. For several years he had edited a medical journal. but at that time he was travelling through Maine and New Hampshire. lecturing at. district school- houses on medical topics. Dr. Califf came to our house and was with us three days. One morning he chanced to see the old squire taking his matina! two swallows from the bottle and was curious to know what tues of that tonic. ' .' Dr. Califf `listened with quiet attention and seemed thoughtful. I have long held the medicinal qualities of Eupatorium in > high esteem, he said at last. "It be- comes almost a duty to make them known. Others ought to share the benefits of your tonic. Thousands of people might be the better for taking it. You might become a great public benefactor! 11.. o..ll....l :.. 41...; .4....:_ g._ --_-- L2- the liquid. was. V The old squire told him ` and praised it highly.

But thoroughwart, camomile and paouthernwood have clean. wholesome. aro- matic lives.

He thought highly of it. But Grandmother Ruth did not like it; it was too bitter; the young folks liked it no better than she did. But as the years passed the squire grew very fond `of it. I look forward to taking it," he said to us one time. As spring comes on I reallv long for it. I sometimes think it corrects and counteracts, many faults and failings of my ph_vsical.and moral nature." Atthat Grandmother Ruth gave a peculiar and in- j describable sniff of -incredulity.

The thoroughwart that the old` squire used grew wild in a "beaver meadow" 'where. one `of our forest lots bordered Lurvey s Stream. There was a great deal of it there; the stalks were from three to four feet high; and in our latitude the pale, pinkish blossoms began to show ' during the first. week of August. That was : the time the mold squire and Grandmother a trip to the meadow annually and fetch home two big bundles of the leaf-stalks. which they hung up to dry in the attic of the farmhouse.

Throughout August and early September I the old squire had t-he apple house" hung \ fulliof bundles drying on poles; as fast as : they dried he compressed them into sacks. In Octohr Dr. Califf sent a team of horses across country to our place to get what the old squire hadgathered and cured. There waava pile of sacks as large as a load of` hay on the rack cart; the old squire said there was a` half ton of - the dried herb. : Grandmother Ruth came out and viewed 1 it with wonder.

It ' was then `March, and they were not to make r a start until September, since the thor-3 i oughwart had yet to grow. All summer the old squire was making enquiries about_new_ localities. where thoroughwart was to he found. I remember that in July my cousin Addison and I made a trip up` Lurvey's Stream as far as the Hay Meadows in quest of the herb. Later on the old` squire issued a standing offer of five cents a pound to the local herb gatherers for green thorough- `wart. Our youthful neighbors, Kate and [Tom Edwards, enriched themselves to the lextent of sixteen dollars by bringing in as much as could be piled on a light driving wagon. They had discovered the herb growing abundantly in a meadow beside Bog Brook, where the stream wound its. devious way through a great swamp local-- . ly known `as Quoghoggar."
