fiOW TO OBTAIN : GOOD DIGESTION fie Stomach Must lie Toned and ; Strengthened Through the Blood , The victim of indigestion who wants to eat a good meal, but who knows that suffering will follow, fends but poor consolation in pick- 4 ing and choosing a diet. As a mat- -Jer of fact you cannot get relief, by cutting down your food to a starva- tion basis. The stomach must be Strengthened until you can eat good, nourishing food. The only- Fay to strengthen the stomach is to enrich the blood, tone up the nerves and give strength to the stomach that will enable it to di- Jgest any kind of food, is through *a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink *Pitls. The one mission of these %)ills is to make rich, red blood that reaches every organ and every 4 nerve in the body, bringing renewed health and activity. The following 'case illustrates the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in curing in- .digestio,n. Mrs. T. Reid, Orange- ,viJle, On*., says: "I have much pleasure in testifying to the relia- "bility of V* Williams' Pink-PiUs. For several years I had suffered .greatly from stomach trouble. Sev- ^eral doctors prescribed 1 for me but 'their medicine did not help me. Af- ter every meal I would suffer great .pain, and would often be attacked .with nausea. I grew weak and had almost lost all hope of recovery. *At this juncture I decided to try .Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which were recommended to me. In these ^pills I at last found the right medi- cine, and I am once more in good .health. I have much pleasure in sending you my testimonial in the *hope that it will encourage some suffering persons to try this sure remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will bo sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. AMSTERDAM'S DIAMOND MEN Ten Thousand Earn From $120 to $6 Weekly. The diamond trade of Amsterdam is in the hands of seventy firms, employing more than 10,000 work- men. About 1,700 are cleavers and cutters, and 4,700 polishers, etc., the rest being engaged about the offices and in other work. These workmen are composed of 5ve classes, in the following order, as to the amount of wages receiv- ed : Cleavers, polishers, turners, cutters and sawyers. Polishers and turners receive about the same wages. Certain cleavers get as much as $120 a week. From this maximum wages grade downwards througn the other classes to $6 and 8 a week for sawers. It is the task of the cleaver to ' split diamonds. Cutters take off the rough sharp edges and corners ^and determine the general shape *of the stone. Polishers polish the stones and make their facets. Turn- ers turn the diamonds around in 'the apparatus that holds them so Hhat the facets may be made, each ,fine diamond having from fifty-eight to sixty-four which cannot be clov- en, or which it is more profitable ^to saw. Sometimes a stone is cleft and the parts then sawed, but very Binall stones cannot be sawed. The Amsterdam diamond work- ers maintain a compact organiza- tion for their protection. No one ran learn the trade without the consent of this organization, and only children of workers or of jew- piers are eligible to become pupils. The waiting list always contains thousands of names. As a general thing pupils pay for instruction, sometimes as much as $2,000 for cleaving, payable in in- stalments. In the case of polish- ers and turners there is a special school, the instruction fee being from $120 to $150. REMARKABLE 1 FEAT OF SURGERY In every country there are count- less thousands of persons going through life crippled, simply be- cause a fractured bone has been badly set. Whenever there has been a con- siderable displacement of the brok- en bones, the oid-fashioiied splint treatment is useless to restore the ) proper shape of the limb and its functions. Dr. Ernest W. Hey Groves, pro- ! fessor in the Royal College %E Sur- , geons of England, has perfected a system of mending bad fractures by | means of screws passed through the bones with plates or nuts at the ends to hold the screws in position and hasten union of the bone by pressing the fragments together. "The old-fashioned method of setting a broken limb by splints or plaster goes back to prehistoric times," says Professor Groves. "It is almost everything that is bad. It does nothing to reduce the deform- ity, it al'lows enough movement be- tween the fragments to cause great callus excess, it keeps the patient in bed or inactive for the longest possible time, it does everything that can be done to make the mus- cles waste, the tendons adhere to their sheaths and the joints to be- come fixed. And it conceals the prospect of all those evil results be- neath the covering of the elegant bandaging, so that they are not apparent Until Too Late For Beinedy. "One good feature the method has, which, unfortunately, with many outweighs its evils. It is easy for both patient and practi- tioner at the time. Perhaps one hour is given to fixing the arm on any angular splint or to putting the leg into plaster, and then noth- ing more has to be done for a month or two, except for the pa- tient to enjoy his convalescence and the surgeon to come and chat to him abouWhe weather from time to time. Hence, it is that the me- thod which goes back to the Pha- raoahs seems likely to flourish for many a generation to come, so long, in fact, as watchful waiting is the most popular motto of the day.

"I use plates of soft steel, nicfcle- plated, which vary in length from two to 4% inches, in thickness from one thirty-second to one eighth inch, and width from five sixteenths to one half inch. Sometimes, espe- cially in the case of a thigh bone, a flat plate is more convenient, but usually a curved plate not only lies more snugly, but gives greater strength. In some cases in the hu- snerus (arm bone), at the lower end of the hin bone it is most conveni- ent to make two incisions, one at each side of the limb, but else- where the whole operation is done through a single incision, must be of ample length." which CHINESE TELEGRAMS.

It's the grandest liniment, the "There may be some who think my words a gross exaggeration, for they say that many a case has done well by the splint and plaster treat- ment. This is quite true, and it is this that makes the whole difficulty. If every case treated by a splint became maimed or lame for life no argument would be needed to con- demn the method. Possibly the majority of patients treated by it get a finally good result. But this good result is not because of the treatment, but rather in spite of it that is to^say, splint treatment is not treatment at all, except in a negative sense of the word. It is treatment only in the sense that the bed is treatment for enteric fever. Every broken bone, the fragments of which are not much dispaced, will, if protected from further injury, heal, but when the fragments are displaced the spint or plaster will do nothing to re- store the proper form to the bone, and they also increase the function- al loss due to adhesion of muscles and joints. "The only fractures that do well with the splint treatment are those in which the displacement of the fragments is trivial, and in such cases prolonged splinting is quite unnecessary, except in the form of A Movable Splint, only to be used during exercise and taken off when in bed and for massage." Professor Groves pointed out that all methods of healing bones by screws and bolts should provide for holding the connecting link firmly in the original position. *'No metal nail or screw dtiven into a bone," he said, " can re- main tightly in position and resist a displacing force for very long un- less it hokls the bone by a broad flange. The most simple way of providing this broad grip is by us- ing a bolt and is secured by a nut and washer on the opposite side. "Such a device has for a long time been advocated by Professor Delage of Brussels, who has de- signed a very useful set of appara- tus for carrying it out, and has published many clases illustrating its use. No doubt this method is exceedingly efficient, particularly in the fixation of fragments at the articular ends of the long bones and in certain very oblique frac- tures of their shafts. Bwt its ef- | should be made of soft iron, so as to make this latter proceeding easy. Then the other ends of the plate are bolted to the shaft of the bone after an accurate reduction of this part of the fracture. The plates are only one-sixteenth inch tiick and being of soft iron they become bent to fit the contour of the bone. The application of the second bolt so as to pass through the holes ready made for it in the plates must be done by means of a special drill guide. "In the elbow this operation is somewhat difficult because of the close neighborhood of the ulnar and musculospiral nerves, and be- cause there is only one spot where the articular end of the humerus can be transfixed without entering the coronoid or olecranon fossae (depressions in the bone that must be kept free). In the ends of the femur and tibia which form tho knee joint the method is easy be- sary. The sender of the telegram writes his message in the ordinary man- ner.
