Torticollzis, which is deriyed from bwo Latin words, means literally “a twisted neck.” It may be a symp- tom of various conditions, some serious and others of slig‘ht import- ance. It appears, for instance, in spinal caries, and in that case it is the direct result ofthe destruction of the bones of the spinal column. Myosihis is a disease of the muscles that starts with inflammation, and ends in a permanent hardening Olf the muscular fiber. When it. at- backs the muscles of the neck it causes a chronic condition 01f wry- neck. , Fortunately, however, the usual attack of “stifi neck” lasts only two or three days, although is the cause of a good deal of pain. Wo- men and children suffer from it It is said that exposure to a draft will often bring on an attack, and neuralgia in one or more of the nerves of the face frequently accompanies it. At the height of the attack, .the usual uncomfortable accompaniments of a “cold” will be noticedâ€"a feeling of lassitude, with a furred tongue, headache, and sometimes slight fever. It follows that the same remedies that would be adopted for the or- dinary cold will ‘be of use, in addi- A Treat Anytime Crisp. delicately browned Post Toasties Ready to serve without further cookingby adding cream or milk.

The geographical position of the is situated almost midway on the coast line of the English Channel, and within easy access by rail to the Metropolis, but it is blessed with the unusual natural advantage of double tides, which gives it virtual- ly four hours of high water twice a dayâ€"an advantage enjoyed by no {other port in the world. The har- lbor itself is landlocked, but for the east and west entrances, and the very moderate tidal range with a slow flood tide, is a boon that can- not be too highly valued, for it not only makes the port very accepta- ble, but minimizes the cost of dredg- ing.â€"Cassier’s Magazine. is LETTERS FROM MOTHERS. Every day we have letters from thankful mothers telling us what Baby’s Own Tablets have done for their little ones. Some praise them for constipation. others for teeth- ing troubles, and still others for vomiting, indigestion and the many other ills of "babyhood and child- hood. We have received thousands of lettersâ€"all giving praise. Mrs. W. G: Crowe, Midland, Ont., says: “I think very highly of Baby’s Own Tablets. I gave them to my baby when troubled with constipation and they helped her so much I al- ways keep them in the house and now use no other medicine.” The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. '_ 5‘ Hiccup. Hiccup is the spasmodic contract tion of the diaphragm; it may be a symptom of the most trivial import- ance Uhalt yields to the simplest kind of treatment, or of a serious and intractable affection that persists for a long time, and even produces death 'by exhaustion. No one may hope to be entirely free from hic- cup; in its simple form it is exâ€" tremely frequent, but upon the whole it is more common with chil- dren than with adults. Sometimes the attack comes on without any apparent cause; but it may (follow a sudden chill, such as that caused by stepping from a warm bed to a cold room; it may Iaccompany a. violent fit of crying, 'or it may be due to the distension of the stomach 'by food or gas. Se- vere fright or nervous shock have also 'been known to lead to intract~ able attacks of hiccup. , A feeble infant with whom hiccup comes to be of daily occurrence of~ I ten falls into a state of extreme ex- haustion; in such a case great care should be taken to ward off or put an early stop to the attacks. Where there is any serious dis- order o‘f the abdominal organs, per- sistent hiccup is a disquieting symp- tom; and when it occurs as an ac- companiment crf kidney disease, it is almost always of grave'signifi- , cance. | In simple cases, very slight mea- ' Slll‘Ps are sufficient to put an end to g the attack. .-\ng.'thing that causes a l' feeling of sull'ocation will generally 'effect a cure, because that feeling naturally results in a forced con- -tracli<»n of the diaphragm. One old-fashioned remedy is the slow sipping of a glass of water; another is the drawing and holding of deep breaths at regular intervals. In the case of small babies, a mere change of position will some- times stop an attack. When the hiccup does not yield promptly to i simple measures, careful search [should 'be made for the cause. In Ethe case of infants or small chil- dren, this is usually connected with the diet. ' f [port is not only unique, in that it lmnm aluminum INTERESTING BITS 0F GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY. Romlnlsconces of a Polltlolan-Toron'to and Normal School Squareâ€"~Harbor Commlssloners' Plans. The publication of a volume of reminis- especially the case With‘ cences by the late Sir Richard Cart- wright has caused something of a sensu- tion in political circles. Sir Richard deals with the men and events of his time with grca: frankness ahd his book contains more than one surprise. A particularly significant chapter is one In which he Lays a tribute to the intelli- gence and ability of the Ontario farmer. In part he says: “No one thing has been made more clear to me during my p01l~ tical experience than the extreme ignor- ance of a vast number of otherwme In- telligent and well-informed professional and business men of the political doings of the day. There is. curiously enough, in Ontario at least, a very great deal more interest taken. and a very great deal more accurate idea of the aims and proceedings of the several political par- ties. among the be.ter class of farmers than among the so-called more highly educated classes. I am myself a city man. more or less of the public school and university type. but I have always represented agricultural constituencies. and from the very first I was immensely struck with the attention and intelligence with which many of my auditors would listen to and discuss political questions. They were very critical. and by no means given to enthuse on any subject. but they would listen for hours to an analysis of‘ the public expenditure or an explanation of the reasons for adopting a particular line of policy. and. what is more. would consider and remember what you told them. Many a time. and sometimes after the lapse of twenty years, I have been re- minded of statements made by myself in times past and called on for explanations if they thought there was any discrep- ancy between my then and former posi- tion. Ontario of Scotch Orlgln. "Of course the percentage of such men would vary in different ridings But taking the farm populations of Ontario as a whole you would have found in most constituencies a considerable number of just such men as I have describedâ€"ear- nest. thoughtful. intelligent and well- rcad men, at least as farm the olitlcal history of Canada was concerns . They had their limitations. no doubt. but as a whole they stood for honest government. If they had a fault. it lay in their staunch devotions to their respective parties. which sometimes made them condone con- duct which at ths'botfom of their hearts they really condemned. Once they had taken a side it was a matter of extreme difficulty to-induce them to change it. In some respects they answered very nearly to the class of old English yeomen in the days when they owned the lands they cultivated. They were largely of Scotch origin. and as you know Ontario is to a great extent a Scotch colony. At any rate they were a class of whom any country might be proud, and the men from whom most of our leading public and profes- sional men have sprung. They would study our blue books. and even such a formidable'document as the Auditor-Gen- ~errl's report. with a zeal which very few of our members of Parliament ever be‘ stow upon them." Criticism of Blake. Perhaps the most surprising thing about Sir Richard’s book is his criticism of Ed. ward Blake. He rarely mentions Blake except to censure him. He accuses him of disloyalty to Alexander Mackenzie and of repeatedly ruining the prospects of the Liberal party in the House of Commons and in the Province of Ontario by his bungling politics. His conduct in trying to publish his famous West Durham let- ter previous to the election of 1891 is de- scribed as "treacherous" to Laurier and Cartwright, the Dominion and Ontario leaders respectively in the House of Com- mons. Bis resignation of the Liberal leadership in 1887, one is led to infer, was the set of a quitter. v- when victory was within sight. One of the most serious charges against. Blake is that he deliberately and need- lessly entranced the Orange Order from :Gaincd in Weight, Digestion Restored, ' Health chrwcd Here’ Is More Proof of Quick Cure For All Folks That Are Weak, Ailing, Nervous. More Praise for Dr. Hamllton's Pills “For a period last summer the thought of food excited feelings of nausea,” writes Mrs. C. AI'Dodge, of Bloomsbury. “The heat had made me listless and the distaste for food reduced me to a condition of semi-starvation and brought me to the verge of nervous collapse. Tonics were useless to restore an active desire for food. The doctors told me my liver and kidneys were both at fault, but the. medicines they gave me were too severe and reduced my strength so that I had to abandon them. At the sugges~ tion of a friend who had been cured of blood and skin trouble, I began the use of Dr. Hamilton’s Pills. The difference I first noticed was, that while thev cleansed the system, in- stead of feeling weaker I felt better after taking them. Indeed their activity was so mild it was easy to forget I had taken them at all; they seemed to go richt to the liver, 11 in a very brief time not only did a 1 source of nausea disappear, but I began to crave food and I digested it reasonablv well. Then I began to put on weight until within three months I was brought to a condi- tion of good health.

Alexander Mac- kenzie ls graised for his personal quali- ties. and is weaknesses as a politician pointed out. McGreevy is described as an honest man. but a scapegoat. Of course. Sir Richard. during-a long life. came in contact with all the prominent men of an interesting era. and he gives his esti- mate of most of them. His views on public questions were made known pretty thoroughly during his life- time. but he leaves a succinct account of them for future generations. The depo- pulation of Ontario- and the issue of pro; tection receive the fullest consideration. There is little doubt but that the book will have ’ influence on future genera- tions. Sir Richard had undoubted abil- ity. and a turn of the wheel of fortune might at more than one stage in his ca- reer have made him Premier of Canada. Doubtless he would have made a judici- ous Prime Minister. but. in that case he would have scarcely left us his delight- ful reminiscences. No cm for Toronto. Sir James Whitney has replied in char- acteristic fashion to the request of the city of Toronto that. the Normal School grounds should be turned over to the city as a civic park. The Square is worth probably a million dollars now, though it was originally purchased by the Gov- ernment for a few thousand. The argu- ment that the Increase should be handed over to the city because it was the city's growth that. gave it the increased value ls knocked into a-cockcd hat by the Pre- mier. who points out that "the Province as a whole has been unquestionably the chief factor in the increased values of property and of the great increase of wealth in the city." The Premier dictated his reply. but it, was'not delivered until he was on the. ‘ middle of the Atlantic on his way to England. where he and Dr. Pyne are spending a flying visit preparatory to the session. The Minister of Education loans of Sir James' strongmt personal friends. dating from long before Sir James was called to the Premiership. They are both fond of an ocean trip and will no doubt manage to get some enjoyment out of it even during the chill davs of December. Toronto's Harbor Plans. No proposed civic Improvement has ever created more. perhaps not as much. en- thusiasm as has the plane.of the recent- ly appointed. Harbor Commission. They call for a total expenditure of $19,000,000, of which $6,000,000 is to be contributed by the Dominion Government, and most of the rest will be raised by the Commission it- self by the sale of bonds on which the interest will be paid by revenues from docks and rentals. Doubting Thomases smile when members of the Commission declare that the whole expenditure will be made and the scheme carried out within ten years. But the Commission insists that it. means it, The Dominion Government work. consisting chiefly of dredging. will begin at once, and plans for the Commissions‘ own expeudi~ Lure are well under way. The chief effects of the improvement plan will be to make Toronto practically an ocean port. to turn the vast area of Ashbridze Buy. now chiefly waste, into exceptionally desirable industrial sites. and to beautify the city by a ten-mlle waterfront boulevard and driveway. ex- tending from the Humber to the Den. The results of these changes is hard to Whenever you see a well loved hand think of g PERRIN GLOVES Ashbridgc’s district can easily support an industrial population of 100.000. and the establishment of real shipping facilities will give Toronto a stronger grip than ever on the distributing business of Can- ada.
