THE WAYS 0F DOING THINGS HAVE GREATLY CHANGED. N 0 Branch of Science Has'Made Greater Advancement Than That of Medicineâ€"Thousands of Lives Prolonged by Modern Discover- 1es. -“Fow things have 'developed as rapidly during the past. quarter of a century as the science of medicine," said a, well known practitioner re« cently. “And undoubtedly the most striking phase in its progress is in the treatment of the blood. In the old days it was thought that opening a vein and letting the blood out was a cure for me: fiseases. The utter fallacy of that bllCO-l’y was discovered after a while. Then the symptoms of the disease were treated and the blood disregarded. That also has been shown to be a wrong practice, for, thongh driven away for a time, the symptoms always return if the cause is not removed, and the dis- ease is worse than before. It is the root of the disease that must be at~ tacked, and the most important de- velopments of modern medical science has been in discovering that, in most diseases, this lies in the condition of blood. If the blood is thin and poor, the nerves and vital organs cannot receive their proper nourishk ment, the system becomes run down and in a condition to invite disease. Build up the blood, restore the worn- out nerves and you remove the cause. When the cause is gone the disease will vanish.” An instance of the truth of this is given by Miss A. M. Tuckey, Oxdrift, Ont., who says :â€"-â€"“I do not know what would have become of me had it not been for Dr. Williams' Iâ€"fink I’ills. My blood seemed to have turned to water, and I was troubled with dizlciness, headaches and general prostration. I tried several mediâ€" cines but, instead of getting better I was gradually but surely growing worse. I became so weak I could no longer work, and it was while in, this condition I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using the pills for a few weeks I began to gain strength; my appetite returned, the headaches and dizzineSS vanished, and before long I was enjoying as good health as ever I had done in my life. I cannot thank you enough for the good the pills have done me, and I hope they will long continue to help other sufferers.” Indigestion, neuralgia, heart trouâ€" ble, anaemia, kidney and liver comâ€" plaints, rheumatism, the functional ailments of women, and a host of other troubles are all a disease of the blood, and that is why they are lalways~ cured by the use of Dr. Wil~ liams’ _Pink Pills which actually make new, rich, red blood, thus reaching the root. of the disease and driving it. from the system. The great success of this medicine has inâ€" duced some unscrupulous dealers to offer pink colored imitations. You can protect yourself against these by lseeing that the full name “Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People" is printed on the wrapper around every box. Sold by all medicine dealers or may be had direct from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockv-ille, Ont., at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. frequently, adding water as it. boils away.

A TRULY REMABKABLE RECORD MADE BY pR. Ciâ€"lASE’S OINTMENT There is no disputing the fact that Dr. Chase's Ointment is the only noâ€" tual and positive cure for piles that has ever been-omi'ed for public sales. Day after day there appear state- ments in the newspapers from per- sons who have been cured. Ask your friends and neighbors about this great ointment. “For years I suffered indescribable pain and agony from itching piles, and tried all known remedies with little or (10 relief and many times with increased pain. A friend adâ€" vised the use of Dr. Chase‘s Oint- ment, and I can truthfully say it is superior to anything I ever used, bringing quick l‘elicf without ‘pain or offensive odor, and I can heartily recommend it as the best remedy on earth for itching piles. I write this letter with the object of helping other sufferers who lias'e not been so fortunate an to meet with Dr. Thos. J. Wadell, Beaverton, Ont. “It gives me very great pleasure to rcconnnend Dr. Chase’s Ointment.

There are very few people, We are informed by an exchange, who know how to launder lace curtains pro- perly. When they are first taken down, they should be shaken and brushed free of dust. A little washing soda is then dissolved in some warm water, and the curtains are cleansed by rinsing them about in it. Lace should never be rubbed on a board. Unless the curtains are cream col- ored, the rinsing water should be slightly blued, and they should be thoroughly stirred about in it. A thin starch, in which a tablespoonâ€" ful of powdered borax has been disâ€" solved, should be applied to the lace. Clean sheets are tacked to the floor in some unoccupied or seldom used room, and the curtains are pinned to them, the surface being drawn taut and smooth. Most people now-aâ€"days have s-tretchers, and dry their cur- tains on them. An old quilting- frame may be made to serve inâ€" stead. When a. frame is used, the curtains may be dried in the sun, which helps to bleach them. USES OF COAL OIL. = A few drops on your dusting cloth will brighten your furniture, as well as prevent dust from flying from the cloth. ' One tablespoonful added to each boilerful of water will lessen labor, as well as whiten your clothes when washing. A few drops added to your boiled starch will make ironing easier. A few drops added to the water with which windows are to be wash- ed will save time and labor. Dip the fingers in the oil and rub the throat, to give relief from sore throat. Saturate a cloth in the _oil and rub the rollers, to clean a. clothes wringer quickly. Saturate a cloth with the oil to clean the sink, bathtub or basin which has become discolored from use. . _+_____ BURRO SERVED AS A GUIDE. Experience of Two Prospectors in the Western Desert. The burro, veritable ship, of the Westlern ddsez-t, will liv: longer with- out water and scent it; mirther than any other known animal éx'ceot the camel. As an example of the keen Steal; of the burro for water, Arthur J. B-uird-iok relates the experience of two prospectors named Peterson and Kelley.

Desert on foot with a burro to carry their supplies. ' In passing from oasis to oasis they lost their way, and the supply of water became exhausted. To be lost in the desert is a terrible thing, and anxiety, coupled with torturing thirst and the intense heat, drove Peterson insane. He left his com- panion and fled, shrieking, across the plain. Kelley picketed the burro and Went after Peterson to bring him back, but was unable to overtake him. He returned to the trail to 11nd that his bufrro had broken his teth.\r qaosop om ssoao‘c humour sun put: at a leisurely pace. He folloWed, but. the. animal was so far in the lead and he was so exhausted from his efforts to overtake Peterson that he could not come up to the burro. Night came upon him. and it soon became so dark that he could not distinguish the burro. He had to follow it by the footprints in the sand. When it became too dark to distinguish the footâ€"prints, Kelley still staggered on in sheer desperaâ€"i tion. . By and by his heart gave a great throb. Before him, outlined against the sky and seemingly suspended in the air, was a form which he knew to be either his b'urro or an appariâ€" tion. He hurried forward, and 10! standing upon a sharp rise of ground and facing him was his lost burro, HEALTHY 13 ABIE 8,, Healthy babies are always happy babies.

Kelley gave a shout of joy plunged bodily into the spring. Afâ€" ter he had soaked his- parclhed skin and moistened his lips and throat, he. crawled out and went to his burro, which was browsing upon the green herbs growing about the place. Throwing his arms about the neck of the animal, he gave the creature a hearty hug and a kiss. If [his mark of affection surprised or touched the burro, it made no sign. lWhen Kelley had taken a fresh supâ€" ply of water he retraced his steps. to the point where the burro had brok- en away. It. was 'fully ten miles. There is no doubt but the animal had: scented the water 'all that distance, and eagerness to get to it had led the burro to strain at its fasténings till they broke. ‘ Poor Peterson 'did not sui'v1ve. Kelley folle his body the next. msornâ€" ing four or five miles from the point where he had left the trail. â€"â€"â€"â€"+ ,PRE CIOUS METALS . â€"a-- World’s Stock of Gold and Silver Doubled Since 1873. ‘ The supply of precious metals seems to keep up with the demand. Since 1873 the world’s stock of gold and silver has nearly doubled. The entire amount of silver at present is supposed to be about S3,63-’1-,000,Uf.l0, against $1,817,0f)0,000 in 1873; of gold, about $5,882,000,000 against $3,045,000,000 in 1873. There are many undeveloped regions yet which will be able to supply the needs of the future. The mineral wealth of Central and Eastern Asia, of Central Africa, South and Central America, Mexico and Alaska still remains unâ€" der ground, while even old worked fields have not. lost their producti- vity. The mines of Spain have been in operation for thou-sands of years. Nevertheless last year they yielded $351,740,000, a great part of which was gold and silver bearing lead. In 1903 the world's entire output of the yellow metal was 15,963,750 cents a box by writing The Brockâ€" a nil Sold in the same form as packets only. 25c and 45¢ per 1b._ fine ounces, worth $330,000,000, against $96,200,000 in 1873. Of silâ€" ver the output was 170,000,000 fine ounces, worth $91,800,000, but of a soâ€"callcd "coinage value" of $219,- 791,900. The world’s coinage of gold in 1902 was $220,405,125, against $466,110,614 in 1899 and $257,630,802 in 1873. In the Unitâ€" ed States the gold output was about l$74,428,000: of silver, $30,520,700 ,‘worth, of a “coinage value” of $73,- l676,100. In 1902 the United States produced $80,000,000 worth of gold; Australasia, $81,578,000; Canada, $20,741, 200; Mexico, 000; British Indies, $9,588,100, and Russia, $22,533,400. South Africa. at presentis producing gold at the, rate of $63,000,000 a year, the Transvaal and Rhodesia bothhaving greatly increased their output. The stock of gold in the United States at. the end of 1902 is put at $1,248,000,000, or $15.64 per capita, the per capita of silver bein 3.44 and paper $5.71; total, 829.7). The- per capita. of gold in Great Britain is put. at $13.18; in Australasia, $23.38; in the Transvaal, $21-33; in France, $24.36; in Germany, $13.54. The entire stock of the white metal in the United States at the end of 1902 was $673,300,000 worth at pre- sent ratio about $282,660,000. The amount of silver certificates outâ€" standing in July last was $162,578,â€" 715; of silver dollars $71,561,684. The gold standard is now established in all countries except certain of the Central. American states, China, Mex- ico and”t.he Straits Settlements. Mexico and some of the states of Central America are contemplating the adoption of the gold standard. As a result the constant varying ra- tio between gold and silver _has ceased to have any disturbing effect upon the money markets or in the business world. ,According to the present price of silver our soâ€"called standard silver dollar is worth only about 42 cents.
