IN THE SHADOW OF POOR HEALTH In This Condition Relief Comes Through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills When the shadow ot poor health | rails upon you; when hope fades and ; life Itself aeems scarcely worth living, j then is the time you should remember j that thousands Just as hopelesa as you fel. have been restored to the sun- Khir.e of health through the use of Dr. Williams 1 Pink Pilis. The rich red blood wb-ich these pills actually make, strengthens the whole system. The nerves are strengthened, headaches vanish, the appetite improves, and ^nce again there Is joy In life. Among j e thousands benefited by the use of j 'Is medicine is Mrs. Jos. Robinson. | ,hawa, who says: "Some time ago'j as In an anaemic condition and so j ak I would faint away at times. I ; 1 no appetite, could not do my j '.sework; in fact life seemed scarce- 1 worth living. I was exceedingly Je and tried doctor's medicine with good result. Then one day I saw r. Williams' Pink Pills recommended or a similar condition, and I got a suppjy. I continued taking the pills until I had used about a dozen boxes, and they have made me a well woman. I can now do a good day's work about Ithe house, have no more fainting spells and cau go about more actively than I did before. I believe these pills lust the thing for pale, weak girls and women, and if given a fair trial will do for them what ttey have done for me."

Old Theories That Have Been Killed fay Modern Thought Ignorance often develops into a be- lief, and belief In turn becomes a cus- tom. One of the best examples of this Is the placing of the engagement-ring on the third finger. This is the result of an old belief, still widely taken for fact, that there is a nerve in the third flnger in direct communication with the heart. Tibs gave rise to the Idea of placing the ring on the third flnger. Of course, ttere Is not a shred of truth In this belief. . The third finger is no different from any of the others; but, all the same, It has developed in- to a custom. Another equally curious belief Is that, should a person cut himself in the space between the first flnger and thumb, he ia more than likely to get yock-jaw. It is a belief absolutely without foundation, except, perhaps, that a wound in that part of tbe hand, owing to its free movement, takes a long time to heal, and is therefore more likely to get dirt into It, which- might cause lock-Jaw. A common belief exists that our bodies undergo complete change once in seven years. As to why seven years nobody knows, but many people have that firm conviction. Actually the human body la under- going change the whole time. In mov- ing an eyelid, even, some of the tissue or muscle Is literally being burnt up, and is renewed from the blood. The very process of seeing or thinking des- troys some of the brain. A boxer wiU lose as much as nine pounds in weight In a single fight, which means that that much muscle has been decom- posed. In ttis way it will be seen, that dif- ferent peoples bodies are completely renewed in different periods of time, those in hot countries, or leading a strenuous life, being completely re- newed in the shortest time. o Ask for Minard's and take no other.

Rheumatism And Dyspepsia Are Soon Ended Victims of stomach trouble and rheumatism often find that when their stomach Is sat In order, the rheuma- tism disappears. Thousands of people everywhere have testified that Tanlac has freed them of both troubles simul- taneously. T. G. Maitland, 147 A^- laide St., London, Ont.. says: "My digestion got so bad I would bloat all up and I suffered from con- stipation and biliousness, splitting headaches and dizzy spells. I had rheumatUm in my Joints and often just ached all over. I never have an ache or pain of any kind since taking Tanlac and neve.- felt better my life." Badly digested food fills the whole system with poisons. Rheumatism and many other complaints not gener- ally recognized as having their origin in the stomach quickly respond to the riglut treatment.

Fox, ch," Seeny, Reynard and Ray- son are all really variations of ame name, some of them being .Icized variations of the Irish pro- Delation of the name, and some of em being Anglicized variations of a meaning. It came about this way. There are vo noteworthy tiguree in Irish hia- 1 ory who were founders of clans or ' septs from which many bearing the I foregoing names take t:-ir ancestry. One of these was "Flanu-." the 169th > nrtmnrch of Ireland. 876 A.D., who was : known as "the Fox." The other was a certain "Teige," who lived about 100 years later, also known as "the Fox" "Telge an Slonnaolk" From these two surnames- came the family or clan names "MacSlonnalghe." According to sound it has become Anglicized to the forms Sinnoch and Siunock. Ac- cording to meaning It has become Fox, Reynard and Reynardson. MAY Variations Wave, Melth. Racial Origin Irish.

The Gaelic form of this family name, which Is quite old, is '"O'Mheith." It fcad, of course, gradually become a family name in our modern sense, trough many centuries of use as a clan name. It is a name which, dates back considerably farther than the oldest of the English family names, or titoee of any other country in fact. As nearly as can be estimated from the ancient Irish records, the Clan O'Mheith came Into being about 350 A. D., in the days when the Irish were still pagan, and th power of their em- pire wsu- felt in raids and invasions clear down into Italy.
