MORGAN BROS. Druggists and Op tlcians, Kent-st, - - Lindsay Tailors’ Bad Backs. The cramped up posi- tion in which a tailor works comes hard on his kidneys and hard on his back. Very few escape backache, pain in the side and urinary troubles of one kind and another. Oftentimes theâ€" first warnings of kidney / disease ore neglectedâ€" think it will be all right in a day or twoâ€"but sick lddneys won’t get well without help. Are the best friend of kidneys needing assistance. Read the proof from u tailor who has tried them. Mr. John Robertson, merchant tailor. Durham, Ont, gives his experience 33 follows: “I had been ailing with my kidneys for more than a. year when I commenced taking Dean's 'Kidncy Pills, which I got at Me- Farlane’s drug store. and am sincerely glad that I did so. The wrong action of my kidneys made me sick all over and caused me much inconvenience and pain. That is now a thing of the past, because Doen’s Kidney Pills cured me. I hsve had no trouble or inconvenience with my kidneys or back since I took these remarkable pills. and you may be sure that I gladly racem- mend them to other fisufi'erere."

Alice. is the- adopted daughter of Gaspard Roussillon, the most imâ€" portant, individual in Yincennes, an outpost; of commercial and military importance on the Ohio river, in the revolutionary days of 1776â€"1793. She is a combination of innate reâ€" finement. curious learning and accum- plishinents. rustic ways and most dazzling beauty of face and form. The hero is a young Virginian oiiieer, second in cuuuuand of the {MM when the Amvricans hold the fort, and a‘ prisom-r and then a. fugitive, when the English capture and hold it. He brings about its release and Alice‘s safety by a series of Vcomlerful ad- venturi-s and their reunion is must, graphically portrayed. 11c an ideal ln-ro: she is the ideal hm‘uinv.

In it he apologized for Oh- truding personal matters upon the august body. hut he respectfully asked for a ruise of salary. He was to be married. he said, and he felt that his salary of‘ $2.3130 a year was inadequate to his needs. The usual formula followed. in whieh he spoke of his long and faithful services and ended by requesting tlzat he he raised to $3.500 a year. No action was taken on the letter at the time. It passed into the pile of ‘unfinished busi- ness‘ and was soon forgotten. “.\ week later the directors held anoth~ er iueetin". In the Course of it Mr. Brown begged for :1 hearing and renewed verlmlly his request for an advance of snlury. The directors, some of.’ them erusty old eodgers who had made their ‘ fortunes, did not take kindly to the prop- osilion. “ ‘Why.
