The Poisonous Waste Matter Is Removed by The Kidneys, Liv- er and Bowels, When These are Kept Healthy by :Dr. Chase's Kidney - Liver Pills. The kidneys, liver and bowels are known as excretory organs, because it is their mission to cast out of the body the poisonous waste material which would otherwise poison the sys- tem, cause pains and aches and give rise to deadly disease. Because of their direct and specific action on each of these organs, Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are wonder fully successful in overcomil pain and in thoroughly eradicating from the system the very cause of serious-and painful ailments. Once the bowels are regular and the kidneys and liver active in filterin the waste material from the good health and a proper working of the bodily organs are assured. Tt seems useless 'to expefiment with new- fangled medicines, which are only in- tended to afford relief, when you can be thoroughly cured, and the cause of your troubles removed by Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills. John I. Hickey, now caretaker of the public and high #chools, Trenton, Ont., states: "1 have used Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills and have found them the greatest medicine I ever tried. I used them when & the Baars and believe by keeping t i bowels regular and the general uoalth rood that they protect a person in m ching contageous diseases which are so common in the camp. I have seen hundreds of men using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills in the camps. They buy them by the dozen when going in, and to show how much faith they have in them, they buy them when they could get their medi- cine for nothing by going to the hospital camp. Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills keep my liver, kidneys and bowels regular and my health good. I would not think of being without them." : Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, one pill a dose; 25 cents a box, at all deal- ers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., To- ome.

THE SHROUD OF THE NORTH A Vivid Description By a Beaker In what varied manner does the restless deep ever continue to claim its holocausts of victims. Now it is,when lashed into frenzy. by hurricane or tor- nado, it grips some gallant ship and hurls it with all ber living freight down into its abysmal depths; now when, as at Krakatoa, a mighty wave baif submerges am island an carries oli to their watery tomb thousands of men, women and Shildon or now when, a mighty whirlpool, it entra the ai mariner within ry lethal influence, and, whirling his barque round and round the gyrating abyss, at length engulphs her, witha roar, in its surging vortex. But, too, in other moods the great ocean also sometimes lays bands on those who embark upon her heaving surface. A few years ago it was rela ted that a direlict vessel was discov ered far. north amongst the ice-floes, which had been driven to and fro in that iohospitable olime for a number of years, locked tight in the grip of the frozen sea during the long arctic winters, and for a short time in the so-called summer, partially relecsed amidst floating masses of moviag ive. 'The crew had left the vessel, probably adapting their boats to. sleighs, ahd had doubtless all "perished long be fore. The cordage and rigging were in rags, and the vessel presented an extraordinary appearance of neglect and age, battered by the snow storms of wany winters (writing from recol lection, the last entry in the log was dated twelve years previously), and bruised by the ice-shroud which from time to time had hugged her in its gelid embrace. ' But is ons ofthe cabins as the most pathetic piteous spectacle ol all. There, seated at a table, his hesd, in bis: hamddy ad inged in misery , is of a man; but oF nS he has been long dead, the intense cold havi prevent ed decay, the only sign of which is a little green mould upon his temple. And re lying on berth at his side, is his fair young wile, beautiful even in death, and peacefully resting as if in gentle slumber. And doubt Jess, fearful of exposing her to the perils and hardships of a long jour- ney over the ive-floes and hummocks, be had elected to take his chance of rescue, and had allowed his crew to leave them to their fate. And, soon prisoned beneath vast drifts of snow, and hemmed in by grinding floes, soon to be locked tight in the icy shroud, and plunged in the cimmerian dark ness, of that long arctic winter, her young life slowly ebbs away, until at length her throbbing heart has ceased to beat, and all that is left to him is her cold and soulless biting north, alone with the dead form of her whom be had loved so well. And the iron has entered his soul, and distracted with a corroding, gnawing deeds had been ' washed away by the Redeemer, who was p a8 their substitute, that part was but for a few short moments, and with a cry of joy they again clasp hands in the gloiand, The Cold Weather Girls.
