Durham. Ont.,â€"â€"Everyone in Durham, and hundreds of people who visit the lorwn periodically, know C. H. Bauman, the genial clerk at the Knapp Home. All will be surprised to hear that he has had a narrow escape. from a re- lentlessenemy. Thanks to the assistâ€" ance rendered by a. good friend, how- ever, he escaped safely. :He tells the story in this style: ' "I suffered for a bong time with terâ€" ribly severe backache. caused by Kid- ney Disease. It was with the most ag- onizing pain, that I could sit down, and thepainI endured in getting up again was equally as severe. My life was be- ing made miserable, for ‘these pains were present during the greater porâ€" tiotn of the time. - "Other medicines having failed to help me ltried Dodd's Kidney Pills, and got relief from the first: dose. 'l‘wo boxes cured me completely, and l il-ZlVâ€"~ en’t been troubled since. There's no medicine like Dodd's Kidney Pills for any and all Kidney Diseases." "Good.

Queen Maryâ€"popularly known as "Bloody Blary”â€"has n-tt teen pleas- antly drawn, for us by history, but certain records of the time when she was a young princess, occupying the dangerous pesition of doubtful heir to the throne of England. indicate that she was not without human kindness. Mr. Richard Davey, in his history of Mary 'l‘udor, quotes from the princess 8 "Privy Purse Expenses," Mary had been forbidden to call the ,Princess Elizabeth by any title, but. it is pleas- ant to note that she refers to her affec- tionately as " my little sister." She sends her brother, afterward Ed- ward VI.. a frock which she hadcm- broidered for him. and gave her sister Elizabeth a cramoiste satin kirtle. Again, she sends a box with silver nee- dle-work in it for her “Sister Eliza- beth." and also worked a cap for her baby brother, and made his nurse, " Mother Jackson," a present of abon- net and frontlets which cost twenty shillings. t Most singular amongst the gifts of the period, however, is that presented by Lady Lisle to Duke Philip of Bav- aria, after the Duke had visited Lord Lisle at Calais. " My lord," she writes to her spouse from Calais after Lisle and Duke Philip had segt out for England, “ I send you my toothpicker. I thought to have givâ€" en it to the duke whilst he was here. but it was not then at my hand. I send it to him because when he was here‘I did see him wear a. pin to pick his teeth witbal. And I pray you to show him that it has been mine these seven years.” A pr0prietorship in a toothpick of seven years’ date would hardly be a recommendation nowadays. _â€"_. ’â€" SIMPLE AT FIRST. It Is Foolish to Neglect any 'Klnd of Pilesâ€"Cure Them at the Beginning. Piles are simple in the beginning and easily cured. They can 'be cured even in the worst stages without pain or less of blood. quickly, surely,_amd com- pletely. There is only one remedy that will do itâ€""Trask’s Magnetic Oint- ment.” 1t allays the inflammation immedi- ately, heals the irritated surface, and, with continued treatment, reduces the swelling and puts the membranes, in good. sound, healthy condition. The cure is thorough and permanent. Here are some voluntary and uns‘o- iicitcd testimonials we have lately: re- ceivedzâ€" ( _ ( Judge Henry D. Barron, St. Croix Falls, says:â€""‘ I have suffered severe- l.y from piles, and found no remedy until i. applied Trask’s Magnetic Oint- ment.’ it relieved me at once, and per- manently, to the present time.” Daniel John. of Liberty. says:-â€"”My wife was afflicted with the piles for ten years or more. and ‘have tried many eminent physicians, but receiv- ed no benefit. until I was induced by your agent here, Dr. Beaver, to use “l‘rask's Magnetic Ointment,”and I can now say she is entirely cured with three bottles." C. L. Root. Monroeville, says:â€"â€""I have been using your 'Trask's Magnet- ic Ointment for bleeding piles. and find it helps me more than anything else I have tried.” All druggists Sell Trask's Magnetic Ointment. It is 25 and 40 cents for. full-sized packages. and is put up only] by Francis U. liable, 1‘37 Bay street; Toronto. JUST THE OTHERl \VAY. The man who had built up the new town and was showing a prospective settler about the place. pointed with pride to a pretty little church, just completed. 1 Do you belong *to the church? asked the visitor. \ t ' I should say not. replied the head man of the burg, with an air of injur- ed pride, the church belongs to me. _â€" Remember \Ve don’t advertise for more effect. but for business. \Ve know that, if you are subject to cramps, that you should have a prompt, efficient: rem- edy on hand. Nervilineâ€"nerve-pain cure‘yâ€"has a wonderful and immedi- ate curative power. It relieves in one minute: it cures in five. Pleasant to the taste and the best known remedy for pain.
