W, THE TREASURE OF GOOD HEALTH Easily Maintained Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, * There is 'not.a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, the towns, the villages, on the farms and in the mines and lumber camps, where Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the country to the other they have brought back to bread-winners, their wives and families the splendid treasure of new health and strength. You have only to ask your neighbors, and they can tell you of some rheu- matic or nerve-shattered map, some suffering woman, ailing youth or anaemic girl who owes present. health and strength to Dr. Williams' Bink Pills; For more than a quarter of a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but throughout all the world; as a reliable tonic, blood- making medicine, The wonderful success of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is due the fact thdt they go right to the root of the disease in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every nerve, thus driving out disease and pain, and making weak, despondent people bright, active and strong. Mr. W. T. Johnson, one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Lunen- burg county, N.S, says:--"'l am a Provincial Land Surveyor, and am ex- posed for the greater part of the year to very hard work travelling through the forests by day and camping out by night, and 1 find the only thing that will keep me up to the rhark is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave home for a trip in the woods I am as interested in having my supply of pills 1 take them regularly, The result is I am always fit. I never take cold, and can digest all kinds of food such as we have to put up with hastily cooked in the woods. Having proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never without them, and I lose no op- portunity in recommending them to weak people whom I meet."

Stand By and Be Ready. When your heart is all gay, and all bright is your day, And rose-strewn the pathway before you; When your life is all spring, and the glad songbirds sing, When ne'er one dark cloud settles o'er you; Then find some poor soul who is far from its goal, Though its strivings have been long and steady, And reach forth a hand, as you hear the command-- Stand by at once and be ready. When you never have need to be mournful indeed Over troubles and trials and sorrows; When you rise from your bed and feel never a dread That the days will mean darksome to- mortows; Then find some sad heart who has never a part In the smile of Good Fortune, so steady; And do kind acts of cheer as the order you hear-- Stand by at once and be ready, When good health is your own, and you ne'er make a moan Over pains that make life all hard la- bor; When your work is sheer joy, as your time you employ With happy Content bor; Just look once again for a sufferer in pain, Whose ill-luck has been long steady; Help with heart, mind, and hand, as you hear the command-- Stand by at once and be ready. a .--n Oldest Watch in the World. The oldest watch in existence was made by Peter Henlein, a Nuremburg blacksmith, about the time when Col- umbus was laying his plans for his first western voyage. The watch is about 2%in. in diame- ter, lin. thick, and weighs 7oz. avoir- dupois. The dial is of brass, sunk in the centre, in which cavity is a revolv- Ang disc with a pointer which indicates the hours engraved up to twelve and repeated on the opposite half, making the dial a day and night indicator. Outside the hour numerals are four circles, marked with minutes, fifteen to each circle. The hour indicator makes one revolution in twenty-four hours, and the double-ended. minute hand one revolution in fifteen minutes. The materials of the movement are 'iron and steel throughout, with the ex- 'ception of the brass bushings of the pivot holes. The workmanship is ex- cellent, Henlein was persecuted for. witch- craft when he withdrew from his com- 'panions to work out his invention, and 'was finally put in prison, where his watch was perfected. After some time He retired to the convent of the Car- as your neigh- and manufacture watches on condition that he gave the proceeds to the Or- ler. He died in 15640 at Nuremburg, le scone of his persecutions, where a monument has been erected to him. 1 a 3 mrt 7 i This is to certify that I have used 'MINARD'S LINIMENT in my family r years and consider it the best lini- nt on the market.
