The case of Mrs. Henry Britton, 1284 Alexander Avenue, Winnipeg, Man., adds another striking proof to the truth of this assertion. Mr. Britten Writes as follows concerning h1s wife’s long ' illness and ultimate cure through the use of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. “It is a. simple thing to recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and yet it is difficult to I iexpress fully one’s heartfelt grati- tude for such a marvellous remedy, ias they have restored my-wife to ;health and strength after the best efforts of the medical fraternity had failed. For years prior to our coming to Canada, and since that time up to about three years ago, my wife had been subject to severe illnesses from what the doctors said was chronic anaemia. She was ut- terly and entirely helpless, and so weak that she had to be lifted in and out of bed for weeks at a lstretch. The trouble was aggra- vated by recurrent rheumatism and heart trouble. She had no appetite or strength for anything. I em- ployed the best medical attendance and nurses procurable. The doc- tor gave her tonics and ordered .beef tea and wine. The tonics and Imedicine would relieve her for a time, and then she would slip back lonce more into the old stateâ€"~but {worse if anything. Then we began v‘givmg her advertised remedies, but all seemed of no avail. One even- Iing while reading a newspaper I :happened to see an advertisement of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It told the case of a young woman ,who had been a great sufferer from anaemia, and who testified to hav- ing been cured through the use of these Pills. The case seemed to describe very closely the symptoms !:of my wife, and although I had [pretty nearly lost all hope of her ,‘ever being well again, I decided to ’get a. supply of the Pills and urgled ,her to use them. My wife was lthoroughly disheartened, and said she expected it was only another case of money thrown away. How- iever, she began taking the Pills, land I thank God she did, for after lshe had used them for a time, she :felt they were helping her. From that time on her appetite came back, her color began to return, and she who had been looked upon as a helpless invalid began to take a new inter-est'in life. She con- tinued taking the Pills, and through them her health continued to improve, until at last we were Iable to heartily congratulate her [upon her complete restoration to health. Some three years have since passed, and in that time she has never been bothered in the slightest degree with the old trouâ€" hie. Her cure has astonished ev- rryone who knew how ill she had been, and we acknowledge with heartfelt thanks our gratitude to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which lit- erally brought her back to health from the brink of the grave.” ,Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure such cases as this in just one way -â€"they actually make new blood, which fills the depleted veins and brings new strength to every nerve and every organ in the body. Nearâ€" ly all the everyday ailments of life come from poor or watery blood, - and it is because Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new blood that they cure anaemia, indigestion, headâ€" aches, sideaches and : backaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, general weakness and the ailments that growing girls and women do not like to talk about, even to their octors. If you are weak, sick or ailing, no other medicine will cure ~ on so quickly as Dr. Williams’ Iink Pills.

Lessoii INTERNATIONAL LESSON, SEPT. 11. - 4 â€"â€"_â€" Lesson XI. The King’s Marriage Feast, Matt. 22. 1-14. Golden Text, Matt. 22. 14. Verse 1. Jesus answeredâ€"His re- sponse to their attempt to lay hold on him was to give the third of the parables on judgment. 2. A certain kingâ€"God. Other passages may be compared with profit (Matt. 8. 11; 25. 10; 2 Cor. 11. 2; Rev. 19. 7; 21. 2). The mar- riage feast was the most import- ant social event in the life of a family, and where wealth permit- ted was a most elaborate affair. According to New Testament sym- bolism, this would be the marriage of Christ and the church, though the bride is not mentioned, and the son is introduced apparently only to emphasize the lavish splen- dor of the feast. 3. Them that were hiddenâ€"The Jews would not come to the feast, even though participation in its generous bounty was the sum of all good. This is the amazing feature of the parable, that men should reâ€" fuse what God has graciously done for their highest wen-being. There is a climax in their refusal. First, they are unwilling; then, they treat the invitation disdainfully; finally, some stoop to abuse and murder. 4. Other servantsâ€"The first group (3), possibly representing the prophets, simply summoned those who were already invited. These later servants 'are, perhaps, the apostles. The patience and gener- osity of the king are in' keeplng with the character of God as re- vealed in his dealings with Israel. Until men have finally and deliber- ately spurned his favors, he con- tinues to seek them out, say1ng, Come. . All things are readyâ€"There is no human need for which God has not made rich and fitting provision. . 5. They made light of it -â€" The tragedy of human life is, that it can become so absorbed ‘in the farm and merchandise as to become un- concerned with matters of~higher value. 6. Treated them shamefullyâ€"It is characteristic of the man who be- gins by ignoring with an air of su- perior indifference the claims of re- ligion that he ends by treating the messenger of religion with sullen anger. Having refused God’s grace, it hurts his pride and stirs his will int-o rebellion to have the invitation pressed. 7. The king was wrothâ€"An evi- dence that in the love of God is a fire which blazes forth at last against persistent, unchangeable refusal to have the gracious bene- fits of that love. The armiesâ€"It may be the Romans who burned their city, are called his because provid-entially used by 111m to bring an end to the murderous rulers of Jerusalem. ’ 8. His servantsâ€"Th? first Chrisâ€" tian preachers, who went forth to the partings of the highways (9), where the roads from the Gentile country led into the city, and there found both bad and good (10), sig~ nifying that, in the matter of invit~ ing, there is to be no discrimina- tion. 11. The king came in to behold the guestsâ€"This is a scene of solemn judgment. It is not enough to have been invited and to have made formal acceptance. There still remains the inescapable scru- tiny of the King. The question of fitness is not finally settled by mem- bership in the visible church. A man who had not on a wed- ding garmentâ€"This was a violation of the regulations of the feast, and was a serious offense. To be in un- seemly attire at a festive occasion of such importance was disrespect to the king. The man was speech- less (12) inasmuch as there was no excuse for coming unprepared. As in the parable of the virgins, time was allowed to provide oil, so here there must have been ample oppor- tunity to dress properly. The garment, then, refers to the char- acter which a man bears, whether good or bad. To be disobedient to the King’s will in this matter is to put oneself on the side of those who lightly or violently refused the in~ vitation. _ 13. There shall be the weepingâ€"- This is send, not by the king to the servants (in this case the angels), but by Christ to his hearers by way of explanation; in the outer dark- ness there will be remorse marked by gnashing of teeth, an evidence of the rebelliousness which makes the doom fitting. 14.

Dr. Geil, the American traveller, who has already crossed China five times, has completed a twelve months’ tour of all the provincial capitals of the Empire, says the London Standard. During a long overland journey to Chengâ€"tu, in Szechuan, he passed through parts of Kwangsi and Kwanchau, where the people had never before seen a white. Here he visited a tribe, whose women wear a dress resemb- ling Scotch kilts. Dr. Geil says :â€" “One of the things that remain uppermost in my mind is the gener- al spirit of revolution which I met with. By this I do not mean an anti-dynastic or antiâ€"foreign feel- I l ing so much as what I would call. an ‘anti-baby’ movement. Particu- larly among the «scnolars and thinking-men the opinion prevails that China is passing through a critical period of her history, and there is a. feeling of resentment that a baby should be on the throne at such a puncture. ' “I have attended provincial par- liaments, I have visited schools and am surprised at the reality of the desire to bring China up to date. In Kwangsi, the great copper cen- tre, I found a large school and a widespread desire on the part of the young men to take the full mod- ern curriculum. There I found the youngest Governor of China him- self attending classes on interna- tional law. His private secretary is a graduate of Cambridge. In the remote province of Kwachau I found that the prefect was erecting a great block of almshouses capabl'e of accommodating hundreds of per- sons, and he had established a school for the study of silkworms.” Referring to the spread of miliâ€" tarism in China, Dr. Geil says that everywhere he saw evidences of .a general plan for the preparation of an enormous army. Not only in the provincial capitals, but in the smalâ€" ler towns, drilling was in constant progress. sisâ€"n... NEW WAR APPLIANCES. Which mHave Recently- Becn Invented. An illuminating shell, which bursts into flame in the air and acts as a temporary searchlight, is amongst the latest ideas of war in-_ ventors. This shell, which has been put to severe tests, would en- able an Admiral, for instance, to see the vessels of an enemy’s fleet at a distance of several miles, the light burning long enough for the gunners to get the range. It is a French invention and not unlike the illuminating shell which has been adopted by the German Gov- ernment. The latter is a projectile, filled with calcium carbide, which breaks into flame as it falls into the sea, where it floats. Another npvelty in war applianc- es has just been secured by the great firm of Krupp. It is an air torpedo, which is reported to be one of the deadliest instruments of warfare yet devised. It is to be introduced into the German army and navy. Other recent inventions are the anti-airship gun, a shrapâ€" nel grenade adapted for use with the service rifle, and a new auto- matic gun mounted on a motor truck, said to be capable of con- veying a supply of ammunition and a crew of ten men twenty-five miles an hour along ordinary roads, and to fire 3l’o. shells a distance of three and a half miles at the rate of 250 shots 3. minute. Novelties I LIONS OF BRITISH NAVY WAR VESSELS THAT IIAVE BORNE THE NAME. â€".__â€". The New Lion Could Defeat Whole Fleets oi the Old Timers. The name of Devon'port’s new cruiser is not one of the happiest in our naval annals, althoughthere are few indeed that canrival it in point of antiquity, says the London Globe. Four hundred years agoâ€"â€" in 1511, to be exactâ€"English ship- ping in the, North Sea suffered much annoyance at the hands of one An- drew Barton, who with Andrew Wood was one of the commanders of the fleet of James IV. .of Scotâ€" land. These men voyaged under letters of marque andwere remar - ably impartial in their attentions. However, the Government of the day took no notice of their depreda- tions and at last the Earl of Sur- rey took matters into his ‘own hands, fitted out two ships at his own expense and set his own sons â€"Lord Edward and Lord Thomas Howardâ€"in cemmand of them. Barton had two ships with him, but they were scattered by a storm. The same thing happened to the Howards’ ships, but in the end Lord Thomas fell in with Barton himself and his brother with the other Scottish ship. Stout fighters as the Scots were the result of the actions was to add two ships to the navy of 1511, one Barton’s own ship, the Lion, of 120 tons, and the other the Jenny Per- win, of seventy tons. Barton him- self was killed and the affair led to war and BATTLE or FLODDEN. lung Henry’s answer to James IV’s complaints of the attack on Barton was to the effect that “punâ€" ishing pirates was never held to be a breach of the peace among princ- es.’ Curiously enough another Lion was taken from the Scots in 1547, but she received such severe pun- ishment at the hands of the Pansy. that she sankoff Harwich before she could be carried into port. The first Lion actually built for the navy dates from 1536. She was a vessel of 140 tons, but carried no fewer than fifty guns; two of brass and forty-eight of iron, but'it is doubtful of any of them fired a shot or more than twelve pounds weight. The heaviest naval gun in use fifty years later fired a shot of only sixtyâ€"six pounds and the Ark Royal, of 800 tons, flagship in the armada campaign, mounted only four of these. During the next two centuries we find all sorts of varieties on the name which Viscountess Clifden gave to Dev- onport’s cruiser. There were “Red Lions,” “White Lions,” “Golden Lions,” “Rose Lions,” “Two Lions” and whole broods of “Lion’s Whelps,”»these last frequently built in batches and numbered, like the torpedo boats of to-day. Among these, however, one particular “Golden Lion” STANDS PRE-EMINENT. She was built in 1582, had a ton- nage of 500 and was manned with a crew of 250 soldiers and 150 marin- ers. Her armament consisted of sixty. pieces of what in those days passed for ordinance. These were four “demi-cannon,” the weight of the gun being 4,000 pounds and of its eight 4,500 shot 301-4 pounds; .I pound “culverins,” firipg a 17 1-4 pound shot; fourteen “d-cmi-cul~ verins,” 3,400 pounds in weight and firing a 9 pound shot, and nine 1,- 400 pound “sakers” with a 5 pound shot. These constituted the “heavy armament.” In addition there were eight “fowlers,” sixteen “fowl-er chambers, and one “falcon.” The longest ranging gun was the demi- culverin, which was effective at twenty score paces. The Golden Lion is often referred to without the gilding adjective, . and when she was rebuilt in 1609 it 4 was officially discarded. She sailed with Drake to Cadiz in 1587 to singe the King of Spain’s beard, much against the inclination of her skip- per, one Willia'n Borough, “a dis- tinguished navigator and hydrograâ€" pher, but no warrior.” Drake’s plans struck him as pure madness and he did little to further the op.- erations. ' The result was that Bor ugh was tried on board the Elizabeth Bona- venture by a primitive court-mar- ‘ tial, and sentenced to “abide the pains of death,” but he outlived both the sentence and his quarrel with Drake and commanded the Bonavolia against the Armada. In that fight the Lion was SECOND FLAGSHIP. having Lord Thomas Howard as her commander. ‘ ‘ It was a new Lion that fought in the battle off the North Foreland in 1653. Twenty years later her captain was,killed in the. first bat- tle of the “Schooneveld.” Under Captain John Torpley she took part in the action with the French off Beachy Head in 1690 which brought so much contumely upon Torring- ton, but the ship had the satisfac» tion of sharing in Russel’s great victory at Barfleur two yars later. It is not until 1745 that we again find a Lion in action. This time, commanded by Capt. Piercy Brett, she endeavored to prevent the flight of the Young Pretender from Scot- land to France, but the Lion came off decidedly second best in the en- counter and retired with 55 kill-ed and 107 wounded, of whom seven died later. In 1759 the Lion was present at the taking of Guadeloupe, where her captain, Willi-am Trelawney. was wounded. .Twenty years later, fighting under Byron off Grenada, she had a narrow escape from capâ€" ture. Byron conducted the battle in anything but a capable manner although the ineptitude of the French prevented it from being the crushing defeat it ought to have been. The Lion and two other ships were cut off from the main body and Byron in his official report exâ€" pressed his “great surprise” that “no ship of the enemy was detach- ed after the Lion.” _.__.._.,*_.__ AN ARMY OF TURKEYS. It is a novel sight to watch the arrival of the turkey sellers in Madrid, Spain. Each one conducts a numerous army of wellâ€"fed tur- keys, and half the town turns out to see the procession. The way one man, with only a long slender rod, can marshal some hundreds of noisy birds through the traffic and. past other troops is astoundâ€" ing. Not only has he to keep his subjects under the closest surveilâ€" lance, but he must be prepared for the attacks of starving vagabonds who wislrto obtain a turkey lunch- eon for nothing.
