BANISH PIMPLES AND ERUPTIONS In the Spring Most People Need a Tonic Medicine. One of the surest signs that the Wood is out of order is the pimples, unsiphtly eruptions and eczema that "ome frequently with the change from A-inter to spring. These prove that :he4ong indoor life of winter has had .its effect upon the blood, and that a lonit medicine is needed to put it right. Indeed, there are few people who do nob need a tonic at this sea- son. Bad blood does not merely show it.self in disfiguring eruption?. To this same condition i.s due attacks of rheu- matism and lumbago; the sharp stab- l)inj< pains of sciatica and neuralgia; poor appetite and a desire to avoid exerl-ion. You cannot cure these trou- bles by the use of purgative medicines â€"you need a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve-restor- ing powers. Every dose of this niedi- rine makes new, rich blood which irives out impurities, stimulat?es every organ and brings a feeling of new health and energy to weak, tired, ail- ing men, women and children. If you are out of sorts give this medicine a trial and see how quickly it will re- store the appetite, revive drooping spirits, and fill your veins with new, health-giving blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a boy or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. NEW Y.AW TO EXTR.VCT BULLETS Electric Bell Rings When Bullet is ! Reached by Instrument. The war has brought into being I many ingenious pieces of apparatus designed to aid the British surgeon in his difficult work. Some of these instruments are much too complicated ! to be described in the pages of a lay j journal, but there are others the value ! of which can be appreciated readily by anyone. .\mong these is the telephone probe, ' of which a good deal has already been heard, and now a bullet extractor has been introduced with the object of facilitating wha6 is often a tedious and difficult operation. This bullet extractor has necessarily been con- structed to meet) definite requirements. In the first place, the operation is per- formed in the dark, the bullet being visible by the shadow thrown by X- rays. In the second place, the bullet must be removed with the least pos- sible danger of injury to important structures. In the third place, the op- eration of removal must be made as easy as practicable. ! The first object has been secured by fitting a fluorescent screen to the ap- paratus in such a manner that, if an X-ray tube be placed under the table and the room darkened, the shadow of the bullet and of the points of the forceps will be visible continuously. But the solution of one difficulty in this case raises another â€" that of the darkened room. Cutting instruments cannot be used unless the surgeon can see what he is doing, and as this in- strument has to work in the dark it is constructed with a blunt point that will work its way down between .structures, separating without doing appreciable damage pressing struc- tares aside rather than through them. .\ very powerful pair of forceps is neccsssary to grip and extract a bul- let, and a great ileal of damage might be done if soms-'thing that was not seen, perhaps an artery or a nerve, was picked up along with the bullet. Accordingly, the blades of the forceps are attached to an electric bell, which onlv rings whe:! both tho blades are ; touching the balleii Therefore, if the ' bell is made to ring while the blades are being opened to grasp the bullet, and if the bell continues to ring when the bullet is seized, nothing else can have been picked up beside the bullet, and there is no danger in pulling it out. The surgeon using this instrument can therefore not only see whnt he is do- ing, but, by means of the bell, he hae a very accurate sense of touch for any piece of metal that he is watching the points of his foreeps attempting to pick up from among the structure deep down below the skin. The instrument has been used with success in a number of cases, but it is still upon its trial; later on it will no doubt be possible to state whether or 'not this beautiful theory will stand the test of actual service conditions. It apears to have given good results in experimental work, but the real test will be when the instrument comes to be used by others than those who have carried out the investi- gations. .> THEN PATTI LAUGHED. It is diificult to realize that that wonderful woman Madame Patti will celebrate her seventy-third birthday this month, but such is the fact, and in spite of her age, her voice still re- tains its remarkable powers. Madame Patti has told a good story about a little "girl who was learning music. The famous singer had ex- plaine<i to her the meaning of the musical signs F and FF. "Now," said Madame Patti, "jf F means forte, what does F mean?" The little girl thought seriously for , a moment, and then her face bright- I ened. "I know," she said at last, '"eighty." | Cure Borders on the Miraculous A c risp, Deli ICIOUS 'Snack' for luncheon or after-the-theatre, or any tfie Government grain elevator at the foot of Salisbury Drive.

He and His Wife, .\fter Years of Doc- toring, Found Quick Relief and Per- manent Cure in Dodd's kidney Pills. Caporal Junction, Ont., April '24th. â€" (Special.) â€" Bordering on the miracu- lous is the cure of Mr. A. Sawyer, of this place. For ten years he was an invalid. Five doctors failed to help him. When he was a complete wreck, and unable to walk across his room, he decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. Six boxes of them made him like a new man. "Y'es, I suffered for ten years," Mr. Sawyer said in speaking of his cure. "The doctors, of whom I tried five al- together, couldn't give me any per- manent relief. Some said I had rheu- matism, others called it lumbago, but I got steadily worse. "I must say I was a complete wreck when I started to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. They made a new man of me. "My wife got the same good re- sults from them. It was after trying several doctors and a specialist from Sault Ste. Marie, who advised her to stay in bed a month, that she decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. She took a dozen boxes in all with splendid re- sults. We both praise Dodd's Kidney Pills. No one can speak too highly of them." Dodd's Kidney Pills have a record of over a quarter of a century in Can- ada, during which time they have earned undying praise in all parts of the Dominion.

The London Telegraph's Rome cor- respondent says that, according to in- direct information from Berlin, Dr. Liebknccht disclosed a fact of consid- erable gravity during the sitting of the Reichestag on April 8 regarding the latest German loan. The President, Ministers and Deputies alike made the most determined efforts to prevent Ur. Liebknecht from speaking, and the censorship prevented the newspapers from publishing anything about it. Persons in Germany do not know, or know only imperfectly, what Dr. Liebknecht said, but great fear pre- vails in Germany that to cover the loan the Government emptied the savings banks and kindred institu- tions. The ten milliard loan is a , colossal mystification, and Liebknecht would seem to have disclosed this in : the Reichstag in tv.o or three sen- ; tciices heard in the tumult. j After the sitting it was made im- possible for Dr. Liebknecht to com- municate with any newspaper. There ; was a demand for his arrest, but the I Government was afraid to take this i step, fearing the indignation of the ! working classes, who.?e savings had ' been commandeered. The conclusion to be drawn from the above is that it will be impossible for Germany to float' any further loan. Echoes of the sc-.indal must have reached .\ustria-Hungary. and will have a pre.iudicial effect on .\us- tro-Hun.u;aiian borrowing. Her DresB. "I dress expensively.

"On Saturday evening the word went around that the Germans were j preparing to attack, and all night I long the big (tuns bchiml us were ; sending the great shells roaring over : our heads towards the Germans. Just j after dawn a delicious fragrance was noticed, wafted along by a gentle i north-west breeze. The perfume of i i lilac! We were all standing up and | i sniffing the beautiful scent when tho : scene changed. The O. C. came rag- ing along and shouting something in- coherently about goggles. The next ^ moment the whole regiment got it. ' and every man was fumbling frenzied- ly for his goggles. When the goggles were ad,iusted relief came gradually but .surely. Then the order came to put on gas helmets, and :i few rain- utvs later a white mist ciiinc towards us. It was about twelve inchis high, but gathering volume from the Ger- man trenches. When it reached us it was a wall of grey-green vapor. But the fateful moments sped by, and now we were breat-hing gaspingly. "Peering through our cyc-picces. we descried perhaps a hundred Germans climbing ihtir parapet and coming stumbling forward, waving their rifles. Our machine guns wore sput- tering bullets at the rate of four hun- dred a minute. Before he had got twenty yards from his trench the last (terman was down.
