ONLY ONE CURE FOR A BAD STOMACH Indige tioii and Similar TrouWes Must 1)8 Trsiited llirough ih Blood. Indigestion can be trcatcxl in many ways, but it can be cuivd in [only one wayâ€" through the blood. Purgatives cannot euro indigi'stion. :By main force Uiey move the food on still r.ndigesttHl. That weakens •the wholso system, uses up the na- 'tural juices of tho body and leaves the stomach and bowels parched land sore. It is a cause of indigcs- ition â€" not a cure. Others try pre- digested foods and peptonized drugs. But drugs whicli digest tlio food for the stomach really \vcaken its power. The digestive organs can never do the work properly un- til thoy are strong enough to do it for th«mselvcs. Nothing can give the stomach that power but the new, rich, red blood so abundantly sup- plied by Dr. AVilliams' Pink Tills. So the reason fur their success is plain. Tho health of the stomach depends upon the blo<^)d in its deli- cate veins. Jf that blood is weak and watery the gastric glands haven't the strength to secrete the jnices which alone can digest th*? food. If the blood is loaded with iiflpurities it cannot absorb the good from tho food when it is dig<'sted. Ijothing can stimulate the glands, and nothing can absorb the nour- ishment but pure, red blood. And nothing can give that pure, red blood but Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills. (Mrs. Alfred Gallant, Mill Kiver, P. IE. I. says:â€" "For several years, Iprevious up to two years ago, 1 suf fered continually from indigestion. I could not eat enough to kwp my strength, and what little I did eat, no matter what kind of food, caused great pains, so that I became much reduced in flesh, strength and energy. 1 consulted several doctors and took medicine from them but without any benefit whatever. On the arlvice of a friend I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and Boon good results were noticed, I | could filightly increase the amount i of food day after day, and suffered i no inconvenience, until after tak- ! ing ten bo.xes I could eat any kind j of food and in a short time got back to my normal state of health and ! feci that Dr. Williams' Pink PilLs I have surely cured me of a most •tuhhorn case of indigestion." Ydu can get these Pills fr<;m any dealer in medicine or they will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or iiix boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brocks ille, Ont.

The I'^nglish soldier who s«!nt his people the tunic he had worn in a battle at the beginning of the South African War, and wrote from hos- pital, "You will see that there are eleven bullet-holes in it, hut I was awfully lucky; only six of them hit me," has a rival in an English scho(ilboy of ten, whose cheerful ac- ceptance of the "bludgeonings of chance" a writer in St. James lindgcl has made public. "My lifo has been a very lucky one," wrote tho ten-year-old. "Wiicn I was three years old I fell downstairs and cut my head. When I was five years old I was looking at some hens, and a dog bit my leg. "When I was eight I went with my brother in the trap, and the horic fell and threw us out of the trap ; my brother lit on his feet and 1 lit on the horse's back. "Last .year I was playing, and ran into a lurry anfl cut my eye- brow, and it has left a mark. "One day I went into the slaught- er-house, and a big sheep ran after me and knocked me down, and broke my arm. "I have had a happy life." He is anything but a good barber who cuts an acquaintance. REDOUBTABLE OLD SHIP NKLSON'S FLAGSHIP VU'TOUY 18 144 YEARH OLD. She Had K.siubliHlieil a Uloriuiis Koeord Long Before Trafal- gar Wa.s Fought. Tho Victory was 1-14 years old last month. The rcHloubtabh: old stiip was put alloat at Cliatliani J)ock- yard on May 7, 17U5, and her age at Trafalgar, therefore, was more than forty years, or double the effective lifo of a modern warship. The first Victory of which any re- cord appears in the annals of the hritish Navy bore the Hag of Admir- al Sir John Hawkins, in tho con- ' diet with the Spanish Armada. Tho ' immediate predecessor of the exist- ent ship was a lirst-rate of the line I of one hundred guns. During a , violent tempest on Oct. 8, 174-4, she j was caugitt in tho itace of Alderney I and lost. There perished in her j Admiral Ualchen, "one hundred ! gentlemen's sons," an<i her crew of close upon a thousand liands. This IS believed to be the most dis- astrous shipwreck in all history. A GLUKIOL'S KKCUKD. Although popular idea associates the jircscnt Victory with Nelson's iinmorial tnumpn, siie i:au i-»i.^j- libhcd a glorious record long prior to Trafalgar. She carried the Hags of Keppel and D'Orvilliers at Hrest, of Howe at the relief of Uiu- raltar, of Hood at Toulon, of Hot- ham off Hyeres, and of St. Vincent m the famous light of 1707. At the date of her launch she was tho veritable Dreadnought of her ago, her burthen being 2,1G4 tuns. -At the present time she only car- ries twenty-four light guns for sa- luting purposes â€" nearly a hiin<lrcd fewer than formed iier arinanicut at Trafalgar. MUCH CHANGED. The Victory has recently been re- stored more closely to the semb- lance of her original appearance, save that her spars remain much mure dwarfc-d than when she sailed the seas. She was tne lir.>^t ship of war to carry royals and tiij)gal- lant studding sails. Her tojisides are still in a good state of preser.a- tion, albeit showing many signs of wood-Worm. Her Ixittom, however, consists very largely of bricks and mortar. Probably less than one-third of the original woodwork now remains 111 tho hull, which was severely kni)ckc<l -about during tho French wars. It is cuinputed that if all the trophies fashioned out of "genu- ine timber from the Victory" could be collected they would siiflicc to Jiuild at least four such ships as sho.

A I'rcnch specialist has come to insommia. His method is 8om«- wh.t vaguely described as "lulling tiie wide awakes to unconsciousness mii( u as babies are put to slum- ber. " "It is a perfect palace of peace that he has opened in lovely Tour- aine" says the Lady's Pictorial. "Here is never a disturbing sound. The silence is broken only by the absolutely monotonous and soothing tick, took, tick of solid grand- father clocks, and the scarcely per- ceptible drip of unseen fountains. "Everything is seen through a cerulean haze, everybody moves in best slippers, the air is fresh hut full of aint perfume. Before the eyes of very refractory patients slowly revolve colored balls, not the smallest rose leaf is allowed to crumple in any bed, each being so designed that there is no possibility of the body growing wreary. Here, in fact, the wooing of sleep has been made a positive science, and it is said no one can keep awake here, however hard he may try." AN INTERMITTENT MEMORY. A small customer appeared at the grocery-store, and the smiling grocer asked him what he wanted.

The ailing should remember this. Simple in their composition, they can be assimilated by the weakest stomach and arc certain to have a healthful and agreeable effect on the sluggish digestive organs.
