This belief is probably due to the fact that when the blood is thin and watery there is an" acute sensitiveness sensitiveness to ~ atmospheric conditions and a change to wet weather often means a return of the excruciating pains.

If these deposits are exploited it is believed that a great industry can be built up, and a sub was at this stage that a friend who had been greatly benefitted by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills urged me to try them. I began the use of the Pills and after taking them a few weeks the swelling in the joints began to go down and the pain was relieved. This greatly encouraged me and I cpntin- ued the treatment until in the course of three months the cure was com- plete. I had thrown away the crutch- es, could walk anywhere and do my own housework, and I never felt better better in my life than I do at present time, and all this is due to the use o Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Then, of course, there is the grousing--not bitter, but all as a - part of the day's work. For the eye, all around the muddy trench bank, sun-dried and parched, occasional glimpses of dusty plane trees, old Achi Baba's wicked top. ° And the men, some on lookout duty at periscopes and rifles ready for every offering target; others cleaning their rifles, mending their clothes, reading^books, cooking, smoking, smoking, or eating. A queer, narrow life, but full of quiet interests. The sun blazes overhead, the guns boom, the shells scream and burst, the rifles crackle and the bullets whistle, and the silly drama of war goes on while gffod mén die. Stretcher parties make their way along the narrow path with their sorry burdens, voices are hushed, for a pal is badly hit. Oh! the pity of it all. All but the lookouts asleep, sprawling sprawling in- the dust in attitudes of deep fatigue. Very little smoking, hushed voices, queer shadows, and the red flash of rifles. Such is the night picture.

The romantic marriage of Miss Kathleen Beresford, the daughter of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, took place more than a year ago, but is just becoming generally known. Shortly before the war broke out, Miss Kathleen, married Edward Blacque Blacque Bey, a young Turkish diplomat who was born in the United States, when his father was Turkish Ambassador Ambassador in Washington. He is the brother of Richard Blacque Pasha, blue-grey Councillor of the Turkish Ambassdaor in Vienna, also born ih America, who married in the summer of 1911, Miss Josephine Kahlmann, the daughter of Arnold Kahlmann, a millionaire of St. Paul, Minn. Miss Kathleen Beresford, known among her own circle as "Lady Kitty," Kitty," came over from London to act as Miss Kahlmann's bridesmaid at St. Paul, and she afterwards spent considerable considerable time with Dr. and Mrs. Blacque in Berlin and Vienna. Her own marriage took place very quietly, it is stated, as the war was looming near, and shortly afterward- the bride and bridegroom left England through fear of encountering the misfortunes of the "aliens." Miss Kathleen had, of course, become a subject, of the Sultan upon her marriage, and her husband, an officer in the army of his country, was liable to arrest and detention detention in a concentration camp. They are now in Vienna, and Miss Kathleen is outspoken in her denunciation denunciation of the waf, blaming all the A Perfect Constipation Cure They Cleanse the Liver and Move the Bowels While You Sleep.

A good deal of research research is understood to have taken place more or less on these lines, and the granting of patents for apparently apparently hopeful devices has been mentioned from time to time.
