WORKED WONDERS IN THIS CASE : RHEUMATISM AND WEAK HEART CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. The Doctor Helped Mrs. Stephen Roy, but there was no complete cure til she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rock Mills, Grey Co., Ont. (special) --"I must say Dodd's Kidney Pills worked wonders in my case," says Mrs. Stephen Roy of this place. "1 suffered with Inflammatory Rheuma- tism in my right arm, and though I tried several remedies the swelling increased. and was very painful. My hands and limbs were also badly swollen. "I 'got a doctor and he helped me, but the swelling never entirely left. He said it was because my heart was weak. Then I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and, as I said before, they worked wonders." Rheumatism of any kind is caused by disordered Kidneys failing to strain the uric acid out of the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it-by cur- ing the Kidneys. They also cure the i weak heart by making pure blood and | lessening that organ's work of pro- 1 pelling the blood through the bedy. Dodd's Kidney Pills only cure the Kidneys, but they always do that. And with healthy Kidneye you can't have Rheumatism, Lumbago, Heart | Disease, Dropsy or Bright's Disease.

It is common because the blood so the same time most dangerous dis- eeses with which growing girls su"er. often becomes impoverished during development, when girls are too ire- quently allowed to over-study, over- work and suffer from a lock of exer cise. It is dangerous because of t'e stealthiness of its approach, often being well developed before its pres- ence is recognized, and because of ifs tendency to grow so steadily worse, if not prompty checked, that it m y run into consumption. The value of the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should known to every mother in the land. These Pills make new, rich blood, tone the organs and nerves, bring a glow of health to pale, sal- low cheeks, and drive away the weakness, headaches, faintness, heart palpitation and loss of energy so no- ticeable in young girls who are suf- fering from anaemia. To all such Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ac- tual life saver. Miss Mabel McTav- ish, Prince Albert, Sask., says: "In my case I can only say that life had lost its magic; all work was a trial, and even pleasure only a task. When I went up a flight of wi Wak ready to drop irom. sheer weakness, and I had begun to think life would be a continued burden. But all this is now changed, thanks to Dr. Wil- liams® Pink Pills.. These were re- commended to me, and after taking them for about a month I found my health renewed. I could sleep bet- ter, my appetite returned, and I was so strong and well that housework was no longer a burden to me. My sister seemed to be going the same way last' summer and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were at once sent for and two boxes made her as well as ever.

A Few Things about Horses. Tie those colts up with a good strong halter when you start keeping them in nights. A good halter pro- perly tied, not too long, will give a colt a respoet for rope and leather that will prevent him from becoming a halter breaker, Don't allow them too much rope or they may be come suicides--a not infrequent happening. Before horses are put on dry feed it is a mighty good plan to have the teeth gone over and floated wherever nec:ssary. This is especially true of old horses and the colts getting their permanent teeth. The cause of lack of thrift can in many cases be traced indirectly to ulcerated teeth or rough edges that lacerate the mouth. Tt will save you money to have a veter- inarian go over your horses' teeth at last once a year. The small amount of oats and clea. hay that a wealing colt will eat the finst winter does not cost much money but will pay more interest on the in- vestment than the same amount of feed given to almost any other animal on the farm. The reason is that the gains made the first winter are per- manent and decide, the fnture scale and weight of that colt when matur- ed. The way to grow big horses is to keep the colt growing every day of its life, especially the first winter. A long toe or a broken hoof is very often the cause of "sprains or limb trouble in colts. Try walking in a lop-sided or run-over shoe for a while and see what it means. Then get a chisel, mallet and paring knife and trim up the feet of those colts that have been running out all sum- mer. It only takes a little while and may save you money. The handling will do the colts good anyw ay. Shiloh Cure quickly steps coughs, eures colds heals the throat and lungs. - 3 cents, At this season of the year shen most" of the fall work is done, the temptation is to overfeed and under- exercise the work team. While it pays to tone up the horses that have worked hard all summer fhere 1s danger in overfeedig unless abundant exercise goes with it. A man 'finds this out when he takes out a fat idle horse and starts for a drive to find he has a sick horse on his hands after a: few miles and possibly a dead horse if he goes far enough. It is simply the old trouble of azoturia or black water due to rich feeding, unusual exercise bringing on kidney trouble. There are remedies often mentioned in these columns, but the best rem- edy is a prevention in the way of ra- tional feeding. - Yet nearly every horse owner seems to have to under- go the loss of one of his best horses before he heeds the lesson. A bottle of Bickle's Anti-Consumptive Syrup, taken according to directions. will subdue a cough in a short time. This as- sertion can he verified by hundreds who have tried it and are pleased to bear tes- timony to its merits, so that all may know what a splendid medicine it is.

Phantasms of the Night That Have .Caused a Sensation. ; The interest in the general election in the British Isles gave way to the sensation caused by the evidence giv- en by Mr. Claude Sawyer in the Wara- tah case. 'Mr. John Dickinson, who conducted the Board of Trade inquiry into the mysterious disappearance of this liner between Durban and Cape Town last June, said at the close, *'1 Saw- yer, on being alive and being here to give evidence.' Mr. Sawyer told that three or four days before the ill-iated vessel reached Durban, he had 'a dream, which was most unusual." He had booked a first-class passage from Sydney to Cape Town by the Wara- tah, and he seems to have felt anx- iety before leaving Australian waters. Three times he had a dreaming vision of a man in a peculiar dress, who was holding in his right hand a bloody sword. 'The second time it came, I thought, 'I will know it again'; and the third time I looked at it so in- tently that I could almost design it, sword and all, even now. Next day I mentioned the dream to a gentleman, and he said, 'It's warning." Then I began to think why I should be warn- ed, and I was anxious to leave the ship." He left it at Durban. Perhaps the strangest story of a dream at sea is that told by George Burrow in the opening pages of "The Bible in Spain." "I was bound for Lisbon. We passed Cape Finisterre, and, standing farther out to sea, speedily lost sight of land. On the morning of the 11th the sea was very rough, and a remarkable circumstance occurred. I was on the forecastle, discoursing with two of the sailors. One of them, who had but just left his hammock, said: 'I have had a strange dream, which I do not much like, for," continued he, pointing to the mast, 'I dreamt that I fell into the sea from the cross-trees' He was heard to say this by several of the crew besides myself { vessel, perceiving that the squall was increasing, ordered the top-sails to be taken in, whereupon this man, with several others, instantly ran aloft; the yard was in the act of be- ing hauled down, when a sudden gust of wind whirled it round with violence, and a man was struck down from the cross-trees into the sea, which was working like yeast below. In a short time he emerged. [ saw his head on the crest of a billow, and instantly recognized in the unforunate man the sailor who a few moments: before had related his dream. 1 shall never forget the look of agony he cast whilst the steamer hurried past him. . . . The poor fellow who perished in this singular manner was a fine young man of aptut twenty=sptewr, thee only son of a widowed mother. He was the best sailor on board, and was beloved 'by all who rere {acquainted with him." : / May Knight =r ig In olden days they Were not so chary of recognizing feminine ser- vices. The abbesses of great nynner- ies used to be "knighted" and .even now there 'is a charming young French woman, who, though, unmar- ried, is a countess in her own right by reason of being the Chanoinesse of a religious order. At present: in England there is something anomalous in the fact that man takes all the titles, stars, and ribands, as well" gs place, power, and money, and. allows the women folk to toil all their lives at inferior salaries and with no hope even of those orna- mental rewards, such as coronets and orders, to which human nature is so persistently attached. It has been whispered, though, that the two ladies who have been elected Mayors of FEnglish towns, will be knighted during this coronation year, precisely as their masculine com- peers will receive this honor at the hands of King George. The ' idea should be persistently dwelt on, as the circulation of such a rumor may lead to the foundation of some order---with a title attached-- which can be bestowed on eminent women, whether married, single ox widows. Women at Prize Fight.s Should women attend prize fights? The question has been revived by the presence of a number of women at a recent boxing contest held in London.
