i â-  Si I A TERRIBLE SUFFERER FOR THREE YEARS Bnt Eiialtli Was Completely Restor- ed by Dr. Williams' Pini Pills. Extreme anguish ; pains in the Jointsthat all but drive one crazy â€" thus may inflammatory rheumatism be described. The victims are to be pitiedâ€" to them life is one long fcorUij* ; they suffer by day and cannot sleep by night. Such was the condition of Miss A. Mercier of: Ottawa, Ont. For three years she; was a victim of this trouble andl found no relief till she began us-j ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She eays: â€" "For three years I was a' sufferer from .inflammatory' rheu-1 matism. During that time I con- sulted and was treated by some of the best doctors in our city, but I lound no relief in their treat.ment. I J began to despair of ever being! well again, when one day a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink PiHs. I procured three boxes and by the time these were used there was enough improvement in my condition to encourage me to continue their use. Three more boxes completely cured me and to-' day I am as well as ever I was. I always keep a supply of Dr. Willi-; ams' Pink Fills in the hous-' and would recommend all who suffer as 1 did to give them a trial." It was the new blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually made that restored Miss Mercier to health and strength. There is no medicine to equal them in making Eew blood and in this way they cure anaemia, rheumatism, heart palpitation, indigestion, neuralgia, i St. Vitus dance and many other, troubles. Sold by all dealers in; medicine or direct at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. SHORTSIOHTED WOMAN. Do what he would, the landlord could never get the rent from his tenant, who, when asked to pay up. went into a long rigmarole about hard times, and made many promises, which always remained unfulfilled. Sick at heart with hope deferred, he palled again the other day, and listened to the same old tale from the lady of the house. It was a trying interview, but the landlord, a very good soul, said that rather than make a fuss about such a small matter, he would make her a present of the hou.se ; an offer which was gladly accepted. When her husband returned from work, she told him what had trans- pired. His indignation knew no bounds. "I should think you had more sense than to take it!" he veiled. '•Take it! Of cturse, I took it!" replied his wife, surprisedly. "Why not?" "Why, you daft idiot, we'll have taxes to pay now!'

If you would flatter a woman, keep quiet and listen. Man's chief wisdom consists in knowing his follies. It's difiScult to please yourself and others at the same time. A spinster's face is sure to light up if she strikes a match. If you would retain a man's friendship, don't try to show him that he isn't half as smart as he thinks he is. The trouble in the world is near- ly all due to the fact that one-half of the people are men and the other half women. MOfEERS FBEL SAFE WITH BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mothers who have used Baby's Oavp Tablets say they feel safe when they have this medicine in the house, as the Tablets are a never-failing cure for the ills of babyhood and childhood. And the MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE. Fond Motherâ€" "Now, look here, George ! I want you to break off with that girl. She is very pretty, and all that, but I know her too well to want you to risk your life a!!ti happiness by marrying her. Why, she knows no more about housekeeping than I do about Greekâ€" not a bit!" George â€" "Perhaps not; but she can learn." Mother â€" "After marriage is ra- ther late for that, George." George â€" "But you said yourself that you did not know a thing about housekeeping until after you were married." Mother â€" "Vei7 true, George, and your poor father died of dyspepsia twenty years ago." A GOOD COIGH MIXTUBE. Simple Homo-made Kemrdy That is Free From Opiates and Harmful Drugs. An effective remedy, that will usually break up a cold in twenty- four hours, is easily made by mi.x- iug together in a large bottle two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. This mixture vrill cure any cough that is curable, and is not exi)en- sive, as it makes enough to last the avera4?e family an entire year. Vir- gin Oil of Pine compound pure is prepared only in ^the laboratories of the Leach Chemical Co., Cincin- nati, Ohio. proof that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Bright's Disease. For Ellie J. Mirk, well known here, had Bright's Disease, and Dodd's Kid- ney Pills cured her. "I suffered for over four years from Kidr.ey Disease which de.e'.op" ed into Bright's Disease," Miss Mirk states. "I had pains in head and back, and stiffness of the joints. I lost my appetite and suf- fered from di.'.ziness and shortness of breath. I was weak and lan- guid all the time. "I was always nervous and could not keep my thoughts from wander- ing Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. To-day I have not one of these dis- tressing symptoms." Neglected Kidney Complaint de- velops into Bright's Disease, Heart Disease or Diabetes. Dodd's Kid- ney Pills cure any and all of these.

They wanted tickets for both nights, but alas ! those for the second evening were all gone. Tliis was the more popular enter- tainment of the two. "I'm so sorry, my dear!" pat- tered one of the old ladies to the other. "We did want to go, didn't we, and we wanted to go both nights." "You couldn't give us two tickets for each night?" inquired the other of the clerk. "Xo, ma'am." "You haven't two seats anywhere fur the second night " "No, ma'am. Couldn't give you nose-room." A great resolution beamed upon her gentle face, "Then," said she firmly, "give me four tickets for the first night. We will make them do." "Why, sister," quavered the otJier, "you goiffg to invite some- body (' ' "No," said she, "but if we can't go both nightsâ€"" She paused, be- wildered, quite out of her calcula- tion.

How Zam-Buk- Ilealcd It. You can't equal Zam-Buk for sores of all kinds, whether recent t.r of long standing. That is the' oninion of Mrs. Wilson, of 110 i Wickinson Ave., Toronto. She says:! "About four years ago a sore I spot appeared on the right side of! my face, just about the angle of the j jaw This spot increased in size \ ui.til it became about half an inch in diameter, and very troublesome. I went to a doctor, from whom at different times during fifteen years I had received treatment, but the ointment I got did not have any good effect on the sore. I had it cauterized, tried poultices and all kinds of salves, but it was no good, and this continued for four years. A sample of Zam-Buk was one day left at our house, and I used it. "Although the quantity was so s.mall, it seemed to do me some j good, so I purchased from Mr. j Bauld, Druggist, Scollard and I Y'f. ngp Streets, a supply of Zam- 1 Buk. Each box did me more and j more good, and to my delight, be- j fore I had been using Zam-Buk three weeks, I saw that it was go-; ing to heal the sore.' In less than | a month it whs healed I It has now | been healed for almost a year.

The man who is willing to bet his bottom dollar seldom has to dig down very far. A Safe Pill for Sufferers.â€" There are pills that violently purge and | fill the stomach and intestines with i pain. Parmclee's Vegetable Pills are mild and effective. They are purely vegetable, no mineral pur- gative entering into their composi- tion and their effect is soothing and beneficial. Try them and be con- vinced. Thousands can attest their great curative qualities because thtjusands owe their health and strength to timely use of this most excellent medicine. A LET UP. "Do they quarrel all the time?" "No, they entertain company now and then." Sleeplessness.â€" Sleep is the great restorer and to be deprived of it is vital loss. Whatever may be the cause of it, indigestion, nervcus derangement or mental worry, try a course of Parmelee's- Vegetable Pills. By regulating the action of the stomach, where the trouble lies, they will restore normal conditions and healthful sleep will follow. They exert a sedative force upon the nerves and where there is un- rest they bring rest. Many a man is proud of his past â€" because it is past. •hnM t* tka â- ena T A teaapooornl of rata. killer in a cup ol bot water eweetened will wasm *oa aod arert a cold.
