1 NERVOUS DISEASES I From the Ocean Shore IN THE SPRING Cured by Toning the Blood and Strengthening the Nerves. It ir. the opinion of the best medical authorities, after long observation, that nervous diseases are more com- mon and more serious in the spring than at any other time of t>he year. Vital changes in the system, after lonff winter months, may cause much more trouble than the familiar spring weakness and weariness from which most people suffer as the result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerve troubles are at their worst, and that then, more than any other time, a blood- making, nerve-restoring tonic is needed. The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for the system really needs strengrth- ening, while purgatives only gallop through the bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medicine, for they actually make the new, rich, red blood that feeds the starved nerves, and thus cure the many forms of nervous dis- orders. They cure also such ot)her forms of spring troubles as head- aches, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples and eruptions. In fact they unfailingly bring new health and strength to weak, tired and depressed men, women and children. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Onfr. RUSSIA'S STRENGTH GROWS. New Prime Minister Says She Is "Bound to Win." "Instead of diminishing, our strength is growing greater day by day. Our armament; is now equal to that of the enemy, while we possess more fighting men than Germany, Turkey and Austria. The inevitable conclusion is that we are bound to win." The foregoing is an extract taken from an interview given by Premier Sturmer of Russia to the Petrograd correspondent of the Paris Journal. The balance of the interview follows: "The Czar's policy toward Poland is based on honor. His intentions re- garding Poland have twice been mani- fested, once by Grand Duke Nicholas in his manifesto at the opening of hostilities; again through the declar- ation of my predecessor. Premier Goremykin, on July 19, 1915. The programme so categorically laid down by the Grand Duke and M. Goremykin will be applied to Poland with abso- lute integrity. We are aware of Po- land's sincere loyalty to our cause, and the high courage of the Polish sol- diers who have fought in our ranks since the war began. "We have the utmost confidence in the future. Thanks to veritable pro- digies in improvization and organiza- tion which would have been consider- ed impossible two years ago, we have been able to build up our industries and national resources, until from having almost nothing with which to carry on the struggle we are now pro- ducing everything we need. As for combatants, we have more trained men now than ever before." The pledges to Poland mentioned by Premier Sturmer guarantee Polish Jews civic liberties which they have not enjoyed heretofore.

CRIPPLES AGAIN CAI'TUHED. Men British Had Freed in German ' Ranks. Among a batch of German prison- ers who have just arrived in England are two soldiers who only a few months ago were sent back from England to Germany as unfit for fur- ther service. Both men on their aiTival in Eng- land were recognized by the military authorities as having l)eei» badly wounded and brought to England as prisoners last summer. One of them had actually lost an arm. In course of time the two men were, with others, sent back to Germany in exchange for British prisoners incapacitated for further service, and it was of course never imagined that they would be seen again. Evidently, however, the , Germans are hard pressed for men, for the one armed soldier and his "incapacitated" comrade were once more sent to the trenches, where for the second time they fell into British hands. Both men, when challenged by the military authorities at the camp to which they were sent, frankly admit- ted that they had been captured twice. •» Nova Scotia Man Has Good News FINDS IN DODD'S KIDNKV PILLS A CURE FOR HLS RHEl MATISM.

Greenfield, Queen's Co., N.S., March 27th, (Special). â€" "To anyone who suf- fers from rheumatism I say: "Take Dodd's Kidney Pills. They will be sure to give you a release from pain." This is the message of Cornelius Hirtle, a well known farmer living near here. Mr. Hirtle suffered from rheumatism for four years and found a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was in bad shape for four years," Mr. Hirtle says in giving his experi- ence. "My back and hips troubled me so much that I was not able to do much without suffering. 1 also had stiffness in the joints, my muscles cramped and I felt heavy and sleepy after mealb. I had a bitter taste in my mouth, especially in the morn- ing. My appetite was (ilful and I was often dizzy. "I suffered from shortness of breath. I was often dizzy and I was depressed and low spirite<l. "I took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they did me so much good that I am recommending them to all my friends. They arc better than any doctor." Every one of Mr. Hirtle's symptoms was a symptom of kidney disease. That's why Doild's Kidney Pills cured him. A SPLENDID FEAT. How British .Motor-Boats Captured a German Gunboat. A thrilling narrative has reached Cape Town of the capture of a Ger- man gunboat on Lake Tanganyika by two British motor-boats. The gunboat was sighted at eight in the morning, whereupon the motor- boats immediately rushed at full- speed to the attack. Fire was open- ed at 2,500 yards, the Germans failing to hit. The Britishers' .second .shot carried away the gunboat's wireless appara- tus, and the third hit her on the wa- ter line. The gunboat then turned and fled, but the motor-boats were much the faster. The fifth shot killed the captain, who belonged to the Kocnigs- berg. The gunboat surrendered in twenty minutes after the action commenced. It was not seriously damaged. The engines and boilers were untouched, and repairs were effected within u week. The gunboat is five times the combined tonnage of the motwr-boats. The capture was due to the splen- did dash and gunnery of the British, who fired fifteen shots while going at full speed in a choppy sea, and hit the gunboat twelve times. The commanding officer had a tre- men<loug reception on landing. Bel- gian officers tried to kiss him, while thousands of natives did a war dance and i-ubbed their heads with san<l. Canadian Woods Only. -Vot very long ago Lord Sliaugh- nessy announced t-hat so far as pos- sible Canadian woods only would be used in connection with the con- struction and interior finish of all I Canailian Pacific buildings, railway j cars, etc., an announcement which ! was hailed with great satisfaction by ' the lumber interests of the Domin- j ion. That such a programme was ; possible was known to the foresti"y ' experts who have supplied to the various Canadian Government ex- hibits in Europe and the United i States magnificent samples of hard- I woods with beautiful grains and at- ti-aetive finish. It would seem that ! these woods are not L;:ing exploited sufficiently, but, no doubt, now that it is known there will be a good de- mand for it, manufacturers will give till- matter greater consideration. * Breaking it Gently. j He had just been accepted.

TURKEY A VERY SICK MAN. The Treasury Is Empty and the Arsenals Likewise. i The malady of the "Sick Man of Turkey" seems to have taken another and very acute form. In the pasb de- cade Turkey has suffered more than any other country from disasters, wars and internal rows. The Y'oung Turks, headed by Enver Pasha, gain- ed a tottering ascendency and went into the war on the side of Germany. Now, they are emphabically between the Devil and the deep sea. The sweeping advance of the Grand Duke in the East and the defeat and de- moralization of the Turkish Army ! opposing him calls for every effort to be made to arrest his advance, and save all that; is left worth while of Turkey, that is, the fruitful region of Asia Minor, or Anatolia. I Consequently, all the Turks in Eu- ropean Turkey must be hurried acro.-ss the Dardanelles, and even then, they will probably not be able to stop the I Grand Duke, Germany, hard pressed as she is, I can send no relief in men, ammuni- I tion or supplies to Turkey. The Bul- I garians will probably break their un- ; welcome alliance with Turkey, and take advantage of the .situation to recover the rich portions of territory which they lost to Turkey in the last war. The hundred different factions which have been held down by Enver Pasha's military power, aided by the presence of the (Jerman Generals and troops, will now a.sscrt themselves, and chaos come again. The Turkish t'l-easuiy is empty, the Turkish ar- senals likewise. Food, clothing and ammunition arc not to be had, and His .Military .Vge. ' The King and Queen recently paid a surprise visit to the National Hos- pital for Paralysis at Queen's S(iuaro, London. Some of t?he men were in bed, too ill to get up to greet their Majesties, but all who could do so lin- ed at the front of their beds and saluted as the Royal visitors ap- proached. The King had a long tsilk with a very young soldier, and laugh- ed heartily at the patient's droll re- plies to some of his questions. Re- plying to a query as to his age the youth replied, "Nineteen, your Ma- jesty." ''But riiat is your military age," said the King with a twinkle. The soldier did not appreciate the suggestion, but gravely replied that he was anxious to get> back again and do his bit as soon as he was well enough. He is suffering from very severe shell shock.
