fj! ------ ST. VITUS DANCE SUFFIRER MADE WELL Nerves Strengthened Through the Use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Time after time cas.s are brought 'to the notice of the public where suf- ferers from nervous troubles have been relieved by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills--where victims of St. Vitus Dance have been made well through the use of these pills after other medicines have failed to be of bene- fit. The reason for this is that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly upon the blood--they make new, rich red blood and in thus banishing all im: purities from the blood strengthen the nerves and make St. Vitus Dance im- possible. Mrs. P. Donnelly, Montreal, Que., is one more grateful mother who wish- es to add her testimony to those al- ready published. She says:--"My little girl, aged eleven, was a great sufferer from St. Vitus Dance. Sev- eral doctors prescribed for her with- out benefit. She was in the hospital for two weeks--still no benefit. I then saw an advertisement recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for St. Vitus Dance, so decided to try them. My little girl had only taken a couple of boxes when I noticed some improve- ment so I continued with the treat- ment till now she is completely free from the trouble and can enjoy her- self as other children do. I can high- ly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ic anyone suffering from St. Vitus Dance or any other form of .nervous trouble, for what these pills 'have done for my daughter I am sure they will do for others." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, ®e " Requested Roads are so dusty, dear, Days are so long; My feet grow rusty, dear, Just from wandering on; All the worlds a mockery,.

How Petroleum Is Obtained By Sir John Cadman How petroleum originated and how it eventually found its way deep down into the bowels of the earth is a specu- lative problem. Coal and oil, unlike thiugh they ap- pear, may be regarded almost as first cousins, since there is much that. is common in their origin and history. Coal, of course, owes its origin to vegetable matter once living on the surface of the earth. It is held by some that oil was formed from simi- lar vegetable deposits, subjected, how- ever, to different underground treat- ment. Others trace the origin of oil to deposits of animal matter which, like coal, were deeply buried under layers of sediment. Let us imagine that we are back in the remote past, visiting what might have been a typical breeding ground of oil, a vast lagoon or shalow sea. We should find it teeming with minute animal life, the remains of which fell to the bottom and became mixed in slime and ooze. Here, as in the for- ests, it was possible for vast quanti- ties of matter to have been accumu- lated and buried. You will have no difficulty in realiz- ing the great scale on which nature can work if you have ever visited the South Downs, where you will have seen. immense masses of chalk, hun- dreds of feet thick. All this chalk consists of the minute shells of small marine animals. None of the organic matter originally contained in these small shells has survived. There was no great lagoon here similar to the one I have described, and here the conditions were different; the oil forming material has escaped, perhaps eaten up by other animal life. We can make a guess, then, of how oil began. A vast space of time separ- ates us from these early beginnings. During it, all the dead matter gradual- ly sark lower and lower, as rivers and floods laid layers of clay and other matter above it. As this raw magerial sank it became subjected to greater and greater pressure, so also did the mud and clay and sand above it. In process of time many of these éarthly substances became hard rocks. Pressure, heat, and other physical and chemical "causes, gradually changed the organic material into oil. If the rock above and below that oil became hard and non-porous, the oil could not escape. Now let us go a step further. We have followed this matter deep down into the earth, where we may assume for a time it lay in great sheets, con- tained between layers of non-porous rocks. We can now imagine great earth movements which tended to bend and crumple these rock layers into crests and troughs, leaving the oil still imprisoned between the upper and lower rocks in a kind of natural reservoir. You must not imagine oil as it lies in the ground as being a great pool of liquid. On the contrary, it is usual- ly contained in porous rocks such as sands and limestones, just as water is contained in a sponge; and there is much water associated with it. Oil is lighter than water; and if the reser- voir became disturbed by earth move- ments, the oil would accumulate in the raised parts of the reservoir and the water would collect beneath. Another process which occurs in the reservoir would be the generation of gas. Our oil reservoir would then con- tain gas at the top, oil below and water at the bottom, the whole being under pressure, with any amount of gas mixed or dissolved in the oil and water, Before going any further, let me existing in the world may possibly re- present no very great proportion of those which Dame Nature started to develop millions of years ago. The earth has undergone so many violent convulsions that many promising oil- fields have been destroyed. Their con- tents have wandered away through shattered rocks and crevices, and have been lost to man. There are many parts of the world where traces of destroyed oilfields ean still be seen and where countless thousands of tons have gone to waste. In many parts, however, the conditions remain favor- able, the rocks are still unbroken, and | the oil is safely stored, awaiting the time when it will be brought into use. Having said this, let me return to the reservoir conditions which I have described. We have followed 'the oil now to a positiofi deep in the ground, where it remains to be discovered and brought to the- surface. The condi- tions under which it is lying are rot unlike those in which soda water lies in a siphon. 'If one could drill deep down into the earth and pierce the rock immediately above the oil réser- ! voir--the 'cap' rock, that is--the pro- i cess would be similar to opening the { valve of the siphon. There would be +a great rush of oil or gas seeking to i escape from the reservoir. Sometimes the pressure would beso great as to make it clear to you that oilfields now force the oil through the hole made by ithe drill and high into the air. Such a well is known as a 'gusher.' In other | cases the pressure is not sufficient to | 1igt the oil much above the porous i storage, and it is necessary, by pump- ing of other methods, to bring it to the top. Quite a large number of geologists have devoted their lives to the prob- lems of petroleum geology. Many of them are at this moment wandering about the world, seeking on the sur- face for indications os to where the deeply-buried, oil-soaked rocks are likely to exist. Thispyou will realize, is very often a difficult job. Actual oil indications do not always exist on the surface. . The task of the geologist is to examine the character of the vis- ible rocks, the nature of the fossils contained in them, and many other data. From that examination it has to be decided whether it is reasonable to suppose that the underground con- ditions have been favorable for the accumulation and preservation of petroleum in large quantities. The geologist has to do this work under very trying conditions, and very often the problems presented to him are extremely puzzling. It is seldom, indeed, that, with all his science, he can come to any abgolute conclusion. Indeed, his conclusions must frequent- ly be uncertain and conjectural. In recent years the work of the geologist has been much aided by the application of physical science, and by the development of delicate instru- ments which. measure the character and density of buried rocks. By these means the geologist is helped to de- cide whether it is Iikely that struc- tures cxist below, which are favorable for the accumulation of oil. 'When a geologist has come to the conclusion 'that oil conditions do exist, his main task is finished. The next man to appear on the scene is the driller, whose job it is to bore a hole deep down from the surface in the hope of reaching a 'cap' rock and piercing into an oil reservoir. These holes are only a foot or so in diameter. They are generally lined or cased with steel tubing in order that the hole may not fall in or be blocked by fragments of the rock through which the drill passes. The lining also serves to. ex- clude water from the springs which exist underground in certain parts ot the earth, If the driller has been successful, and one or other of his test wells proves that oil does exist, the rest may be regarded as a relatively easy mat- ter. All that is now needed is to de- termine the extent of the oil field by sinking new wells. In this manner oil- fields have been proved and brought inte production in y parts of the world. Others undoubtedly exist which have yet to be discovered.-- Listener, London.
