f 4 i \ SEVERE NEURALGIA tough the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill8 , There is an excellent reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have eured the most severe cases of neuralgia, sciatica and other complaints in the group known as disorders of the nerves. This gr<Jup also includes St. Vitus dance, partial paralysis and the common state of extreme nervousness and excitability. Each of these complaints exists because there is something the matter with the nervous system. If the nerves have tone and are strong and heal- thy you will not have any of these complaints. The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure nervous disorders is, that they restore weak, run down nerves to their proper state of tone. They act both directly upon the blood Bup- ply and the nerves. The highest medical authorities have noted that nervous troubles generally attack people who are bloodless and that the nerves are toned when the blood is renewed. It is thus seen that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure nerv- ous disorders by curing the cause of the trouble. The following <a an instance. Miss Annie Jones, Lon- don, Ont., says: "For over a year I was an intense sufferer from neu- ralgia, which located in my face and head. The pain at times was so intense that I could scarcely keep from screaming, and nothing I was doing for the trouble seemed to help me. As time went on my whole nervous system was affected. At last when I felt that my case was almost hopeless I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The result of this treatment was that I am now enjoying such comfort as I had not known for years, and only those who have suffered from neu- ralgic pains can realize what a blessing the Pills have been to me." If you are suffering from any blood or nervous disorder begin to cure yourself to-day with Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which you can get from any medicine dealer or by mail at fiO cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willfams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. NEW DISCOVERY IN AVIATION French Military Believe They Can Preveut Many Accidents. What promises to be a scientific discovery of the highest importance in aviation is now being investigat- ed by the French military authori- ties. It will be remembered that Lieut. Seville lost his life while fly- ing at Pan a few weeks ago. Exam- ination of the wrecked machine, proved 5;hat the wing of Seville's monoplane broke downward in- stead of upward, showing that the pressure of air came from above in- stead of from underneath, as has been hitherto supposed was the case in fatal accidents. Experi- ments have nnw corroborated the theory that a downward dip of a monoplane throws a greatly in- creased air pressure upou the sur- face of the wing. Heretofore the main strength of the wire stays has been devoted to preventing the wing buckling from pressure on the un- der surface, while no stays have been thought necessary to counter- act pressure from, above. The* offi- cial commission, believes many acci- dents have been due to insuffi-cienit protections from air pressure on the upper surface of the wings, and this is now being remedied in all French army aeroplanes.

"Now here is a book," exclaim- ed the seedy man as he dashed into the banker's private office. "Don't want any books," grunted the banker. "But this one you can't help being interested in." ''Haven't time to read books, and : "But I am sure you will take this book," persisted the seedy man.

The first days I didn't care, but seeing that it gained in size, I tried i Ointment and Ointment, but both without success. It was always burning and itching. Having seen in the newspaper the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies, I tried. litflO, and seeing thaj it jnjnroved. I bought a Sox of" the c'jul.TurS Ointment; After having used one box, my eczema com- pletely disappeared. The Cuticura Ointment hould be kept In every home." (Signed) N.

Campaign Started Now in Hope of Preventing Plague. War, determined and grim, is be- ing waged in England against the house fly. This is the time of year, it is said, that war, if it is to be successful at all, may prevent a plague in the autumn. The house fly, it has been urged by "experts," carries more disease from house to house thaii any other living thing in existence. The fly, they say, serves no useful purpose whatever ; it is a pest, and nothing more. Its breeding powers are enormous. The fly to-day may yield millions by the autumn, and so everybody is asked to help in its extermination. In schools the pupils are being taught all about the clangers of the fly and how to kill it, and house- holders are warned by the sanitary authorities that no labor expended upon it* extermination will be thrown away. AN EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR LITTLE ONES Mrs. John C. Lepage, Rimouski, Quo., writes: "Your Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent remedy for little ones and I always keep them in the house." Thousands of other mothers say the same thing. The Tablets always do good they can- not possibly do harm. They are the only medicine for children sold un- der the absolute guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst to contain no opi- ates or harmful drugs. They sweet- en the stomach ; regulate the bow- els ; break up colds ; expel worms ; cure indigestion and promote healthful sleep. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE CIVILIZING RAILWAY. In Senegal and Southern Nigeria, and the other French and English colonies of West Africa that lie be- tween them, there are now 11 rail- ways either running or building. Nearly all lead into the hinterland from some port on the coast. In every instance the introduction of the railway has not only increased the trade of the colony, but has ex- 1 ercised a beneficial effect upon the West African natives. Those who! formerly were often engaged in in-j bertribal warfare have become I peaceful traders or farmers, and many of the natives are filling sub- ordinate positions upon the various lines. The railways have accom- plished the complete pacification of; colonies that were once warlike and quarrelsome. A GREAT WAR SHIP. Britain's Fastest, Largest and Costliest Named The Lion. Great Britain's largest, fastest and costliest armored v/ar ship has juet been placed in commission. The monster battle cruiser has been named the Lion. Her length is 660 feet, her displacement 26,350 tons, her speed, designed for twenty- eight knots, is likely to reach thirty-two knots. Her turbines a-re of 70,000 horse power. As for her cost it reaches the enormous sum of $10,000,000. For such a sum twenty years ago could have been built a first-dass battleship, four good-sized cruisers and a dozen torpedo craft. For such a sum to-d.ay could be built some 2,000 aeroplanes, any one of which could with impunity drop bombs upon the Lion an<l put her out of action. ZAM-BUK AND OUTDOOR LlFE. Every tennis or ball player, every swimmer, every canoeist, every man or woman who loves outdoor life and exercise, should keep a box of Zam-Buk handy. Zam-Buk is a purely herbal pre- paration, which, as soon as applied to cuts, bruises, burns, sprains, blisters, etc., sets up highly bene- ficial operations.

A physician says: "Until last r a'l I used to eat meat for my b-eak- fast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from thcj stomach. "Last fall I bagan the use of' Grape-Nuts for breakfast and very j soon found I could do withoJtj meat, for my body got all the nour- ishment necessary from the Grape- j Nuts and since then I have Mot h;id any indigestion and am feeling bet- ter and have increased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I de- rived from Grape-Nuts I have pre- scribed the food for all my patients suffering from indigestion or over- feeding and also for those recover- ing from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtax the stomach. "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For ethical reasons please omit my name." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. The reason for the wonderful amount of nutriment, and the easy digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to find. In the first place, the starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through various processes of cook- ing, to perfectly change the starch into dextrose or grape-sugar, in which state it is ready to be easily absorbed by the blood. The parts in the wheat and bar- ley which Nature can make use of for rebuilding brain and nerve cen- tres arw retained in this remark- able food, and thus ther human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers, so easily no- ticed after one has eaten Grape- Nuts each day for a week or 10 days. "There's a reason," and it is ex- plained in the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appear from time to tlmt. They are genuine, true, and lull of human Interest BANKS REPLACE SALOONS. We are abolishing publie hou.ses, but we are increasing banks. A writer has put a question as to the number of banks between the Eus- ton Roatl and St. Albans, and on the south side between the Elephant and Croydon. Half a century ago there was not one. It was the Lon- don and Westminster that first set; up a bank for the small man. And now you can hardly pass a street corner without the appeal of the bank. The change of the sitreet corner site is suggestive of other changes. London Chronicle. "You must take exercise," said the physician, "and, by all meajis, worry less. Play golf."

Parme- lee's Vegetable Pills are the result of careful study of the properties of certain roots and herbs, and the ac- tion of such as sedatives and laxa- tives on the digestive apparatus. The success the compounders have met with art-tests the value of their work. These pills have been recog- nized for many years as the best cleansers of the system that can be got. Their excellence was recog- nized from the first and they grow more popular daily. ORIGIN OF CHIMNEYS. Earliest Mention of Their Existence Made in 1347. In the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum no discovery appears to have b.een made of anything ap- proaching the nature of the modern chimney. The earliest mention of the chim- ney seems to be in an ancient Vene- tian inscription over a doorway, where it is written that in 1347 cer- tain chimneys in that location wore demolished by earthquakes. It is by conjecture only that WP are able to say that the chimney was known in ancient Italy. Seneca, who lived during the first century of our era, invented a species of tube which he affixed to the length of the wall, and it seems to have run through floors. Through this the. heat passed from subterranean ovens called "hypo- causts," of which remains were found in buried cellars of houses built on the Bay of Naples. But in this there is no evidence of any chimney in the modern sense or even of any kind of etovp. Boforo the invention of the chimney fires were made in excavations or pits opened beneath the floor of habita- tions in about the centre of the room, as the Eskimos do to-day. The hearth of the ancient Romans was in the porch, but the fires light- ed there were not designed to make houses habitable, seemingly, but were merely an indication of hospi- tality to friends. The houses, which occasion called for heat, were fur- nished with firing-pan and bellows, carried from . room to room by slaves. This was in more or loss constant operation day and night in very cold weather. In the early centuries of the middle ages there seems to have been an attempt made to perfect the very elemcn- tarv fashion of house-warming. Before the seventeenth eentTiry there is no direct evidence available that a satisfactory method had be<?n found to evacuate - ga,ses liberated by combustion. Harper's Weekly. * "My dear," said Mrs. Henpeck, "I'm positive that our George is thinking"seriously of matrimony." "Well, I only hope so," returned Henpeck with unusual spirit. "I wouldn't want any boy of mine to be so unfortunate as to regard it as a joke." THE DREAD OF OBSCURITY. "Do you think it possible to love your enemies'!" "Not exactly," replied Miss Cayenne. "Yet many of us ought to feel rather grateful to our ene- mies as the only people who take a real interest in us." They Cleanse While They Cure. The vegetable compounds of which Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are composed, mainly dandeliofl and mandrake, clear the stomach and intestines of deleterious mjut- ter and restore the deranged organs to healthful action. Hence they are the best remedy for indigestion available to-day. A trial of them will establish the truth of this a&- sertion and do more to convince the ailing than anything that can be written of these pills INDEPENDENT.
