A pathetic example of the kind of Many | assistance rendered by the adjust- ment services bureau of the Tuber- culous Veterans' Association of Can- ada on behalf of disabled comrades, and for whom appeal is being made for funds to enable the bureau to carry on until the Canadian Legion is in a position to take it over, is afforded by the following case. An ex-service man had been a charity patient in sanatoria for years. He had tried every way to obtain recognition of his service dis- ability, but had failed. He became a far advanced case of T.B. The asso- ciation helped him in every way pos- sible, and finally, when his case had been appealed, and lost, the asso- ciation found money to bring him to Ottawa, in order that the adjustment services bureau could make a last desperate effort on his behalf. The | man arrived jn the city without money, and almost without hope, and in a very serious cbndition. Shelter was found for him by the bureau, which also . supplied him with food. He was again refused hospitalization, and so the associa- ranto to be examined by an inde- pendent chest specialist who report- ed that he needed hospiid] trediment in the worst way, and that the man's condition was, in his judgment, due to war service. Much further effort was put in on behalf of the man and ultimately a check for thousands of dollars for back pa t of pension was receiv- ed by him The man was awarded a pension for life. But the tragedy of his case is that after being denied necessary cole forts for years, when his pension was secured he only lived a few months to benefit by it. UTTERLY DISCOURAGED This Was the Condition of a P. E. I. Woman Before Taking Dr. Wil. liams' Pink Pills. "My illness began," says Mrs, M. J. Ahern, R. R. No. 2, Alberton, P.BE.L, when my husband went overseas and I was left with the care of a farm and stock, with no help but that of a young boy. My health broke down and for the first time in my lifé I became utterly discouraged. I lost my appetite, had no strength, and was ready to have a crying spell any moment of the day, as the work loom- ed up ahead of me. A friend happen ed to speak one day of the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done her and urged me fo try them. I had not energy enough, or perhaps confidence enough, to try thém; but she would not be denied and sent me three boxes, and by the time 1 had taken them I knew they were helping me and was anxious for more. I contin ued taking the pills for nearly six months and by that time I had safe- ly passed a critical period in my life, and regained my usual good health. To all overworked, nerve-racked women--and there are a great many of them--I still say, and at all times, take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I know you will regain your encrgy." _There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood easily overcome by a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this medicine is to purify and enrich the blood, and when that is done all the varied symptoms of anaemia disap- pear and good health returns.

DOMINION BOTANIST ~ DELIVERS LECTURE Before Horticultural Society Wednesday Evening--His Subject Was "My Garden." Common plant diseases and reme- dial measures were dealt with quite fon botanist, in the third lecture of the series which is being conducted fety, held on Wednesday night in the Dairy School. Dr. Gusson's lécture was entitled periences which the lecturer had bad in his own garden. He was a very witty speaker and efitertained the very large audience with many aneéo- dotes out of his own garlening ex- perience. The lecturer advised everyone planting potatoes to demand certi- fied seed potatoes and he predicted that the time would come when no one would buy seeds of vegetables or flowers unless they were certi- fied. The eradication of the currant bush except in the Niagara penin- sula where black currants are grown very extensively, was recom- mended by Dr. Gusson. The reason of coursd being at it {is only through black curfent bushes that the pine Diister, which is destroying the white pine, can be germinated. In the Niagara district the white pine is very scarce so that if all the currant bushes were grown there they would do very little harm. Prof. W.. T. MacClement of Queen's University also spoke brief- ly on the eradication of the currant bushes, The president of the society, Prof. J. Macgillivray presided and intro- duced the speaker. At the conclus- ion of the lecture many questions were dealt with by Dr. Gusson.
