This is easily done through the use of a blood enriching tonic like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this medicine is to help enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ of the body, bringing with it health, strength and new activity. That is why people who occasionally use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills always feel bright, active and strong. Mrs. E. E. Cook, Simcoe, Ont., gives strong testimony to the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, when the blood j Fauquier, of Ottawa, was re-elected is in an anaemic condition, she says: 1 President, and Mr. W.

Her use of them leads her to believe there is no other medicine to equal them for any of the many minor aliments of childhood. Concerning them Mrs. Eugene Boisvert, East Aidfield, Que., writes: "My baby was terribly constipated, but after the use of Baby's Own Tablets he is entirely well again. I am so well satisfied with the Tablets that I lose no opportunity in recommending them to other mothers." The Tablets are sold by medicino dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville^ Ont. s the lack of ii u j Minard's Liniment Relieves Distempei Surnames and Their Origin JACKSON Variations--Jacks, Jaxon, Jakes, Jake, Racial Origin--English. Source--A given name. Here is a group of family names, the derivation of which seems quite obvious. As a matter of fact, it's only half obvious. You think these names all trace back >o the given name of John. So they do. But they all also trace back to the given name of James in the case Df the Individ uai family it Is impossible to determlnine which, unless the ancestry of the family can be traced back to the person from whom it took the surname; and then the research .wfll fail unless there is enough of the history of that individual available to determine whether his medieval neighbors called him "Jack" because his The nickname of Jack was, if anything, more commonly used for the given name of James than oi John in the middle ages. And really the dis-1 oussion gets more confusing as we go To Study Pain in "Phantom" Limbs. Dr. G. Jefferson, of the Royal Infirmary at Manchester, has just received a grant tor the purpose of studying the after-history of amputation cases, particularly those In which pain is felt in "phantom" limbs, the former members which no longer exist. Dr. George Riddoek, of London, in dis-oussiog "phantom limbs," says: "When, a person has an amputation of a leg or an arm it Is a fact that he often complains of pain In the missing member. He may be wearing a cork leg at the time, but the feeling is that the foot is still there. Sometimes this peculiarity is distressing and, although it may last only a few months, cases are known in which persons who have had only one arm or leg for years have complained of aches and pains in the limba they had Tost."

We have heard of paper suits, and we have all donned paper hats at children's parties, but Germany is putting paper to an even more unique use. Whilst travelling in Germany recently an Englishman was struck by the curious window straps in the German trains. Instead of being the orthodox leather ones they appeared to be made of some very strong twisted fibre. Later he was able to procure a portion of one of these straps, and, on investigating, found that they were simply made of paper. It had been twisted Into tiny strands, and twisted again and again, then probably treated with something to strengthen it, for the straps must needs be very strong to hold up a carriage window, especially as those In the German trains are of a large and heavy type. The seats in many of the trains are also covered with the same substance, while baskets and many other articles are made in the same way. His Hearing Restored. The invisible ear drum Invented by A. O. Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone, fitting Inside the ear entirely out of sight, is restoring the hearing of hundreds of people In- New York City. Mr. Leonard invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and It does this eo lessifully that no one could tell he deaf man. It is effective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated, or wholly destroyed natural drums. A request for information to A. O.

Racial Origin--English. Source--An occupation. Tbe family names ot Packer and Packman come down to us from the expressmen and purchasing agents of the middle ages. They were not, of course, followers of calling strictly parallel to those of the modern expressman and purchasing agent, yet the similarity is close enough to warrant the use of those lerms "with reservations." Their economic reason for existence was the result of poor commutation facilities in the middle ages.
