I cannot praise his medi- cines too highly, and Dr. Chase's name is a household word in our home. Well, quite a number of years ago I sent'to you for a sample box of Dr. Chase's Ointment for protruding Ipiles, and, having used the sample iand found relief, I sent to a neigh- {boring town for four boxes, and I am 'completely eured. --_ *T have also used Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills for constipation, and, ,after using them, I am completely cured of this dreadful disease. I am the mother of ten children, of whom nine are living, and when seven of my children were ail very bad with whooping cough, caught in the mid- of & severe winter, 'I used Dr. 's Syrup of Linseed ' and Tur- i ne, and they were all cured be- ore the winter was over, and now are never without Dr to Napanee yesterday to visit Mrs. 1 ! The 'city, frequently ealled "the Damascus of the North," spreads over a narrow valley closed on the east by .a semi-circle of hillé. Though still half oriental, it was largely re- built after 1878 in western fashion The castle and barracks, - occupied by an Austrian garrison, stands on a cliff overlooking the city. The sale of embroideries, rugs, embossed firearms, gold and silver filagree work and other native wares, and the manufacture of . pottery, beer, silk and tobacco comprise the indus fries. The neighborhood is rich in pre- historic remains. During the wars between Turkey and Austria its ow- nership was frequently contested. It was burned in 1480, 164%, 1656, 1687 and 1789, In 1878 it was seiz- €d by the Austrians. Death of Inverary Lady.

The forts, built on the plans of the French engineer De Riviere, were good enough until dynaniite-telinite and other high ex- plosives were produced. Then they became useless. The fort of Malmaison, near Ani- zyle Chateau, in the Vert district, of the present fighting, was well test- ed by the French army and in a few hours it was blown to bits. The principal forts of Verdun, Toule, Belford, and, last of all, Mauberge, were then as quickly as possible cov- ered with reinforced concrete and steel cupolas. The only protection of any value against modern ex- plosives. The lesser fortifications, which could not be so Protectgd, should, the 'writer thinks, have been forth- with abandoned but those respon- sible were afraid of public oninion. So Lille before the invasion had to he declared an open town and its forts dismantled; so with . Rheims, Laon, and Ta Ferts--they could not be defended and it would have been better to abandon them before the war. for the sights are mow being used by German gunners. ees KITCHENER DELIGHTED With the Showing Made By the A) lied Armies, London, Sept. 23.--Lord Kitchener is delighted withthe 'showing made and {the positions occupied by the allied jarmies, and this confidence he sha» Iwith Géneral Jolire, the great French { soldier, who has shown to the how a retreat may lead to an vance and an ultimate triumph.
