n: REVOLUTION BROUGHT fIRST FiSH i RETAIN YOUR VIGOR r j ' They Came Into Exbtence With the Swift-Flowing Stream*. Evolution isn't something that happened in the past and then stopped. It's still going on to-day. The Australian frilled lizard, shown in the sketch here, Is evolving into a two-l«gg«d animal. He geU up on his hind legs and runs for a short distance. this. Organisms accustomed to fresh water would And life disagreeable and tor the most part Impossible In salt water. It now became neceesary to combat the swift current in the streams or be evicted from them. There is a form of eel to-day, known as the Btream-borne lamprey, which clings to the stream bottom by Its mouth and lets its body be whipped about by the stream In the same way that a flag is whipped about by the breeze. Biologists believe that creatures of this sort were the first to learn to maintain their places In the swift streams. This eel. in awimlng, merely repro- duces the motions which are to it by the stream when it passively clings to the stream bottom by Its mouth. In this way, it is believed, the first lish learned to swim. Now the act of swimming requires a certain play of muscles. This i.ctfon Is such as to be facilitated by a stlffeniag along the axis of the body of the fish. As a result of this, flsh were first evolved with a pliant cellular mem- brane along their axis. In time this developed into a supple rod of carti- lage. i'Je:xt this was supplanted by a bony axis. When this took place, the true fish â€" the lirst back-boned animal â€"had been evolved. Secrets of Science. By David Dietz. The next step in the evolution of life tipon this earth was the development of the flsh â€" the first backboned animal. Previous forms of lite, as we have •een, from the one-celled anima'.s to the sponger and jellyflsh and moUusea were all extremely sluggish forms of life. The flsh Is the flrst form to show that characteristic activity which we commonly think of as the chief attri- bute of animal lifer" The geologist fluds the flrst records of simple types of flsh not in rocks formed from sediment laid down in the ocean, but in fresh water. Therefore it is evident that the fresh-water fishes were evolved flrst and that ocean fishes descended from fresh-water flshes which were carried into the ocean by the s^;reams and learned to live in salt water. This important tact gives us a clew to bow flsh evolved. It was the result of one of those "re- volutions" or upheavals of the land which brought great mountain ranges Into existence. As a result of this upheaval of the land,' placcid, sluggish streams were turned into swiftly flowing ones. The sluggish forms of marine lite were swept into the sea as a result. There were great disadvantages to This Can Only be Done by Keep- ing the Hlood Rich and Hed. If you wouid regain your vigor and anibitroB. Ic«£p your btoud and uervea 111 good rondition. Anaemia, or thin blood, lowers the vitality, sturvts the ntTves and cnubes a gdueral run-down condition. V/hen the blood is thin the skin loses its color, the shoulders droop and weight is lost. The vietim of anaeuiia loses appetite, suffers from in- digestion, tieadaches and sleeplessness, and is nervous and exhausted after slight e.tertion. If you have any of these symptoms do not delay but be- gin tre«tment now with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will be gratified with the prompt improvement in your condition. Among the thousands who have found new health through the use of this medicine Is Mrs. Herbert Nagle, UiJlow, N.B., who nays: â€" "I had not been feeling well for some time and was gradually growing weak- er. I wouid take dizzy spells and of- ten faint. I was subject to severe headaches and found it hard to do my work. I took doctor's medicine for some time, but it did me no good, and I was still growing weaker. In this condition I began the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink puis and in a short time found they were helping me. I con- tinued the use of the pills tor a while longer, and found that the trouble that had bothered me was gone and I was once more a well woman." i Get Dr. Wiliiama' Pink Pills at your I druggist's .Br write The Dr. Williams' I Medicine Co., BrockvUle, Ont.. and the pills will be sent post paid at 50 cents ' a box.

It has been found that Hay Fever is seasonal and caused chiefly by pollenating grasses ' in June, rose pollen in July, ragweed ! pollen In August. Nine out of every ten people suffering from Fall Hay Fever in Ontario can blame ragweed. This plant begins to pollenate August 15th. The pollen, being as light as down. Is blown by the wind to a dis- tance of 11)0 miles In all directions. Cause: Some people can breathe the pollen of certain plants and the lining qt the nose treats it as ordinary dust; but others suffer extremely after breathing air laden with po'.len, due to Inflammation of the nose and eyes be- cause the lymph In their blood (for some unknown reason) tries to digest the pollen as it touches the lining of the nose. Once a person becomes bus eeptible to this Irritation, be will suffer from it for the rest of his life. Helpful Hints: Prevent the attack by avoiding the pollen ; during the pol- lenating seaeon of the particular plant which irritates you, go to a district where the air is free from that poilen. Three days in such air will see a com- plete cure. Treatment: No inhalation or other treatment for the nose is of any use; no patent medicine will cure hay fever. The only helpftil treatment found as 'yet Is Injections of an extract of the particular pollen causing the individ- uat case. It Is effective and many peo- ple who have been victims for years have found the tfeatment reduced their suffering to about ou'.y one-twentieth of the ustial time; it must, however, be repeated eoch year. The treatment is rather costly and can only be ob- tained from the few physicians who have given it special study. Useful Discovery.
