Lord Cromer used quick aud, dar- ing methods in dealing with Egyp- tian risings. At one time Cairo was almost openly disaffected, and the British garrison was sinall. His lordship, however, caused it to be *@ | known that a regiment was on the way from India, but he was careful not to explain that it consisted of sick-leave and time-expired men and bandsmen. All the able-bodied soldiers in' garrison were ordered to parade all over the town in small parties, and the natives did not take in the fact that they were a sort of stage army =the same men over and over again.

Halifax, N.S., Dec. 16.--When inter- viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St., Mrs. Haverstock was quite willing to talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case. "l was always 'blue' and depressed, felt weak, languid and utterly unfit for any work. My stomach was so disordered that I had no appetite. What I did eat disagreed. I suffered greatly from dizziness and sick head- ache and feared a nervous breakdown. Upon my druggist's recommendation 1 used: Dr. Hamilton's Pills. "I felt better at once. Every day I improved. In six weeks I was a well woman, cured completely after differ- ent physicians had failed to help me. It is for this reason that I strongly urge sufferers with stomach or diges- fire [troubles to use Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, strength- en the nerves and restore.debilitated systems to health.
