(ETIQUETTE of .the DESEEBT. ;
Social etiquette among the Arabs is a factor-in
life to be considered seriously if you
wish to five tonong them without friction.

preeunaatoly '.horoughly , au fait with all
things 'Mohamedanj the harmony of the 'pe
caslon has been eeriousiy endangered ' by
some thouightlessiess or Ignorance on their
part, which! ltd the Moslem could appear
only, as a contemptuous iwant of considera
uon Thus, no greater insult couild .be, of

I nearly made a" eknfiar y blunder. ; I was

to see him, and was m .the point of riding
uip to Ms tent door and dismouniting there.
Fortunaitely, however, I recollected In.tDme
that etlquetl.e demanded that I should halt
flflty yards off, and' call in a lo'iid . voice :
"Have 1 your.permissSon , to approach?'

' Gentlemen: In 1872 a small pimple
broke out on my leg. It began eating and
in four months I was treated by a phys

lived eighteen years. He relived it for a
short , while. In six weeks it broke . out
again ' in both legs, also on my shoulder.
Two small bones were taken out. It con
tinued until 1876. In this time I had twelve
different, physicians. They told me the on
ly remedy . was amputation ;Nthat It could
never! be cured. - For sir months I could
not walk a step. I went to Mineral Wells,

that B.. B. B. would cure me, and, I could
get the medicine from Nabors 4b: Morrow,
