Epilepsy is one of the most seri- ous troubles that afflicts the hu- man race. This trouble is also known as “falling sickness” or “fits.” The patient suddenly loses consciousness and falls. The muscles become rigid and there is a twitching of the face and limbs, sometimes accompanied by frothing of the mouth. followed by a deep sleep varying in duration. In the early stages the attack may only occur at inter- vals of several months, but as the disease progresses they become more and more frequent, the pati- ent becomes debilitated and the mind weakened. Epilepsy is gen- erally regarded as incurable, but taken in its earliest- stages has in many cases been cured by Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills, which enrich the blood, strengthen the system, thus enabling it to resist the progress of the disease. The following case will be of interest to any who suf- fer from this terrible malady. Mrs. John Mather, Bancroft, Ont., says: “My little son, Clive, at the age of five was stricken with spasms or fits and despite all we did for him, for the next five years was afflicted with them, apparently growing worse.‘ He was under the care, at various times, of five different docâ€" tors, but they did him no good. He was growing worse all the time, until he got so bad he would some- times have twelve of these spasms in twentyâ€"four hours. I sent him to the Sick Children’s Hospital, where they pronounced the trouble epilepsy, but did not help him. Later he was treated by a special- ist, but to no avail. I was alInOst in despair when my mother advised me to give him Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I got the pills and gave them to him, strictly following the direc- tions as to the diet. He continued taking the pills for several months, the spasms gradually coming less frequently, and with-less severity, and finally they ceased altogether. It is now about two years since he took the last of the pills, and he has not had a fit in that time, and is now as well and strong as other boys of his age. I have great rea- son to be grateful for what the pills have dohe for him, and hope this maybe of value to some othel suf~ ferer.” These pills are sold by all mediâ€" cine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. __»x<__ CROP OF 1911. A Good Average Year According to Official Hungarian Figures. The Hungarian Department of Agriculture, whose crop reports are generally accepted as final, last week issued its annual statement giving the world’s harvests for the year 1911-12. They are as follows, in millions of centals: Wheat 960.60 Rye 4.54.42 Barley ..... 354.64 Oats.....................568.88 Maize 902.46 This is a total of 3,241,000,000 cen- tals, compared with centals in the previous year. It ex- ceeds by 248,250,000 centals the low total production of 1908, and the lperiod under review may therefore be described as a, good average year The greatest decline is shown in the. Russian crop, which was only 619, 500, 000 centals, compared with 706 380, 000 ceutals and 737, 89.0, 000 centals in the two previous years.

Tho Impartial and reliable character ottho Information may be relied upon Tho writer of these articles and the pnbllnhar of this paper have no interests to oer" In commotion with this matter other than those of the render (By “Investor.") It is evident from what was said last week that equipment bonds differ in two important respects from all other classes of railroad issues. First. the title to the property which secures the bonds does not vest in the railroad (but with a trus- tee): and secondly. the property is mov- able and not fixed in any one locality. As a result of these two points, the hold- ers of equipment bonds are in a decided- ly moreiadvantageous position than the holders of the mortgage bonds in the event of the railroad becoming bank- rupt. "If a railroad is unable to meet its in- terest charges," writes an authority, “the mortgage bondholders can rarely do bet- ter than have a receiver appointed who will operate the railroad in their inter- est; but if. with honest and efficient. man- agement. the railroad cannot be made to earn its interest charges. the mortgage bondholders usually have to consent to the sealing of their bonds to a. point where the railroad can operate upon a paying basis.’ With the holders of equipment bonds the case is quite different. If the receiv- er defaults upon their bands they have only to direct the trustee to enter upon possession of the equipment and sell it or lease it to some other railroad. (It will be remembered that the equipment is held by a trustee and leased to the railroad until such time as it has been 'fully paid for. i..e, until the last equip- 3,566,870,000 ' l i mcnt bond secured on that particular lot of equipment has been redeemed. Then the railroad owns it outright and not un- til thcn does it own any part thereof. The knowledge that the bondholders have this power has made the instances where it became necessary to use it very few indeed. The 'rensons are almost obvious. ' The'equipment of, a railroad is essen- tial to its operation. Rails and termin- als are merely the shop as it were. the equipment constitutes the supply of tools. If. therefore, the receiver were deprived of the equipmentlt would be utterly im~ possible to satisfy the road's creditors, as the road couldn't be operated. The result of this has been that in the States (there has so far been no occa- sion in Canada to adjudicate on this matter) the courts, both State and Fed- eral. have ruled that the necessary equip- ment of a bankrupt railroad must be preserved. They have moreover “placed the charges for principal and inter- est of equipment obligations." writes Mr. Henry, of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, "upon an equality with charges for wages, materials. and other operating expenses and in priority to in- terest of even first mortgage bonds.” . As a result. equipment bonds have made a remarkable record during times of m u ...vn ' l‘ f .. fake 21 Pleasant Thought ‘of an old friendâ€"â€" Post - '3 Toasties with cream.

Between the years 1888 and 1905 took place the prin- cipal railroad troubles in the States. A careful search has been made of all rc- organizations'during that period and it .â€"Many people was discovered that “sixteen different. railroads. aggregating nearly one hun- dred thousand miles. and located in wide. 1y different parts of the country had out- standing equipment honds at the time of default.

Two of these railroads, it is said. offered to the holders of equipment bonds the option of an advantageous exchange'of securities, which amounted to more than payment in full. In security, therefore, the facts herein set forth. justify the conclusion that equipment bonds possess security equal or superior to that of any other form at railroad bonds.
