mi: WEARY SMILE THAT COVERS PAIN Women are Themselves io Blame for Much of Their Suffering. Women are weak, yet under a mile they will try to hide pain and suffering that any man could not bear patiently. If women would only remember that their frequent failures of health arise from feeble or impure blood their lives would be smoother and they would longer retain their natural charm. When the blood fails then begin those dragging backaches and headaches; unrcfreshing sleep that causes dark linos under the eyes; dizziness ; fits of depression ; palpi- tation or rapid fluttering of the heart; hot rashes and indigestion. Then the cheeks grow pale, the eyes dull and the complexion blem- ished. Women should know that much of this suffering is needless 6 ml can be promptly remedied. Purify and enrich the blood through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and your suffering will vanish. Thuus.-inds of women know that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have brightened their lives by making the new, good blood of health, and so toning up all the vital organs into healthy, vigorous action. Here is an in- etancc from among the many. Miss Cora Cornell, St. Catharines, Ont., savs : ''Kser since the age of fourteen I have suffered terribly with pains in my back, and severe headaches. 1 was also much trou- bled with indigestion and had to be extremely careful as to my diet, and sometimes did not feel like eating at all. Some two years ago the head aches became so bad that 1 had to give up my position, which was clerking in a store, where, of course, I was constantly on my feet. I took a position in an of- fi< <-, where I could be seated most of the time, but even then I suf- fered terribly most of the time. As the medicine I had been taking did not he!]) me I finally decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got a apply, and soon felt they were helping mo and I continued taking the pills for several months until I felt perfectly well. Although my doctor advised me not to go back to my old position, I decided to do o, and have not felt any ill effect. I never have backache now, sel- dom a headache, and all traces of the indigestion have disappeared. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I hope this letter will help someone who suffers as I used to."

Some indignation has been ex- pressed in Great Britain at the sentence of three-and-a-half years' detention in a German fortress which was passed upon Mr. Bert- rand Stewart, a London solicitor, at Leipzig, on February 3, after a four days' trial before the Supremo Court of the-German Empire. When the sentence was pronounced, Mr. Stewart, it is said, protested vigor- ously, saying: "I am innocent, and THIS IS INDEED A SEVERE TEST C. MATTKSEX HAS HAD RHEU- MATISM ALL HIS LIFE.

Where the dread disease is making its first inroads into the system the cure is quick and complete. Where the rheumatism is of longer stand- ing it takes longer treatment, but the result is always the same. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure. Probably the hardest test Dodd's Kidney Pills have ever been given is in the case of Mr. C. Matteseri of this place. It is best stated in his own words : "I have been- troubled with Rheumatism all my life," Mr. Mat- tesen states, "but I am happy to tell you that I have received so much benefit from Dodd's Kidney Pills that I can recommend them to A PORT OFTEN CROWDED. In a seaport town in the north of England there is a wealthy but il- literate man who owns many ves- sels, and follows their course over the seas by aid of a large atlas and a ten-horsc-power magnifytng- glass. "I've just had a letter," he said to a neighbor, "fiom one of my captains, and he tells me he's been in a fearful storm. I'll read you from this letter what puzzles me. He says : " 'The waves rose like mountains. We were driven before the wind to the danger of our lives and put into great jeopardy.'

A startling story of a man con- signed to Nottingham (England) Lunatic Asylum simply because he was deaf and dumb, reported to tho Notts County Council, led to Mr. R. M.

"Recently," he said, "a man was sent to the asylum from a distant pa/t of the country. The medical facts were, so glaringly deficient, simply stating he was deaf and dumb, that when the report was sent to the Lunacy Commissioners in due course they ordered tho man's immediate release..
