Raymond Ward, M. D.) Lack of strength is about the first symptom of viglation of the laws of heaith. There come nervousness, unsteady hands and limbs, skin eruptions, dlzziness, Secnietanoe heart [2ipitation, and with the feeling that the life lood is being sapped comes complete pros- tration. In this condition the suilerer is indifferent to all things--and looks upon life with a gloomy, melancholic view. It is given as a statistieal fact that seven out of every ten people in the United States nro suffering from nerve exhaustion, and of this number less than half realize ft. They know that they have gloomy thoughts, a depression of mind, an impaired memory dizziness and headache, wakeful nights and spells of extreme exhaustion, but they attribute it to any other cause but the right one. They feel languid, irritable and restless, the why and wherefore of which they cannot explain, They are suffering from nerve exhaustion, a condition which is undoubtedly the means of causing more misery a crushing more hopes than any other trouble that flesh is heir to. Nervous exhaustion will not eure 'itself. The sufferer who thinks that nature slone will bri about a restoration of heaith fs uded by a false hope. He will if the power of realizing is left him), when he becomes a hopeless victim to one of the many diseases which follow in its path.

The ministers who presented the matter to the Imperial Parliament for rati- fication had a diplomatic piece off work to perform and they accom- plished it with much delicacy," The 1867 files of the Daily British Whig have a most interesting record of this all important period in Canadian history. The journal was then a strong Conservative ergan edited by Dr. Edward John Barker and was a staunch supporter of John A. Mac- donald. In the journal speculation is rife on many of the aspects of wnat would be the provisions of the new confederation bill.®Perhaps the most interesting of these was what name should be chosen for the confedera- ted provinces and the issues contain many letters to' the editor suggest- ing names for the new common- wealth. "Canadia" is Meaningless. In the issue of February 7th ap- pears the following editorial com- ment: "The Canadian news tells us that the name of the Confederated Provinces is to be left to the Queen's choice. This of course means to the Queen-in-Council. The same author- ity also says that 'Canadia' is likely to be the name. We hope not, for it is a word of no meaning. Let the choice be made of a name that will mean sometaing,' -- Opposed to "Canadia." Dr. Barker then was opposed to having the name "Canadia" for he felt that it would mean nothings to the future generations.

J, BARKE The Whig proprietcr and editor at] Confederation land he found, and it is his opinion that the northern part of the conti- ment should be named Columpia and that we should be called Columbians, The Kingdom of Canada. The first draft of the bill which was sent to Canada was received by the Toronto Globe and in it the name of the confederation was found to be "The Kingdom of Canada." On this Dr. Barker has to say editori- ally: "The Kingdom of Canada--it sounds big, but why not? The Uni- ted Provinces of British North Am- erica would be too cumbersome--The State of Canada would be too Yan- keefied--nauseous--and the Pro- vince of Canada would be a misnom- er"because the new Kingdom will -be composed of many provinces. So af- ter all Kingdom is the only proper designation. The Queen adds an- other to her many titles--Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Canada and Empress of India. She has only a Governor-General over her im- mense Indian Empire and she is sat- isfled with having a Governor-Gen- eral in Canada." When it was later found that the report of the Globe had been erron- eous in this respect and that the united provinces were likely to be called the Dominion of Canada, Dr. Barker editorially says: "Kingdom or Dominion--that is the question. The first sounds bet- ter'and is more appropriate, but the latter may give less offience to demo- cratic minds, and more particularly to those on the other side of the line. But why should they he mind- ed? What signification is it to them what Canada is, they'll never lay their greedy, unsoncy paws upon a foot of it. At least not while Great Britain protects Canada, Kingdom or Dominion. It is not certain what the future designation will be. The Rheumatism Entirely Gone After twenty-seven years of Suffering ~--Swelling and Pufliness Has Disappeared -- Not a Pain or an Ache Left. Kincardine, Ont., June 28---A most astonishing cure of rheumatism and eczema has been reported here, and Mrs. Ray is enthusiastic in telling her many friends how cure was effected. Rheumatism and eczema frequent- ly go together, and in this case caus- ed the most keen distress imaginable. All the swelling and puffiness result- ing from many years of rheumatism pain or an ache left. Mr. G. H. Ray, R.R. No. 1, Kincar- dine, Ont., writes: "Mrs. Ray has been using your Kidney-Liver Pills. She was very bad with rheumatism and eczema, and had had that fearful itch for twenty-seven years. It was simply terrible what she suffered. I persuaded her to try $1.00 worth of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, she is now on the last box, and let me tell you she scarcely knows herself, she is so free from both these dis- eases. All the swelling and Jue caused by the rheumatism gone away, and she has gome down in weight 183% pounds. She never has an ache nor pain, biliousness nor sick headache all these months. She of- ten says herself 'How glad 1 am that I know what to do instead of paying doctors so much to make me worse."

It must be realized im reading this mment that relations between Can- da and United States were strained : at this time over some events in the Civil War and over the incursions of the Fenians into this country. But that Dr. Barker was not ready for annexation nor that he was will- ing to relinquish Canadian depen- dency to the British Crown can be seen from an editorial under the heading "A King for Canada" which he wrote later: "The New York Al- bion /advocates the consolidation of all British America into a Kingdom with one of Victoria's boys for King. "What rot! Is not her present Majesty Queen enough for us? It will be time enough to have one of Victoria's boys when thé throne be- comes vacant." The Fenian Taunts. At this time, 1867, the outstand- ing questions of the day were the confederation of the provinces and the Irish question. The Fenian raids were turning the Canadians against the Yankees and the following taunt from the New York Sun drew a stirr- ing editorial of some length from the patriot, Dr. Edward John Barker. The editorial in the Sun ran as fol- lows and showed the feeling that existed at the time: ful in the next venture as their con- fidence indicates they will, the Can- adians may be saved the trouble of continual discussion about the name they shall give to their new confed- eration. Instead of 'Kingdom of Canada' the name chosen for them may be 'New Ireland' or the 'Prov- ince of Hibermia'." The Editor Himself, From these few extracts can be seen what were the tendencies and thoughts of the time. From the old editorials and news items of a newspaper can be gleaned the clear- est conception of the public opinion of the day and it is also an interest- ing way of learning history. The Whig of 1867, while only a four "If the Fenians prove as success-| . page journal gives a stirring account of the domestic, national and inter-! national life, and in it can be seen| the guiding hand of the first editor, a dauntless hand clenched for right and justice but always ready to be extended for peace and good will; a patriot's hand ready in the first dave of the Dominion to _stand for prin- ciple above poljti€s.
