RHEUMATISH CURED TO STAY CURED Liniments of no Avail--The Trouble Must be Treated Through the Blood. This article is intended as a talk to the man or woman with rheuma- tism who wants to be cured. Net merely relieved, not half cured, but actually cured. piston something on the swollen g joints is a little relief. A air tt the while the trouble is becom- ing more firmly seated. Medical guthorities now know that rheuma- tism is rooted in the blood ,and that while rubbing on liniments or hot fomentations may give tempor- ary relief, they cannot possibly cure--you must go to the root of the trouble in the blood. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills -- the rheumatism Stee pears. There are thousands of ormer rheumatic sufferers in Ca- nada, now well and strong, who thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that they are now free from the aches and pains and tortures of thig flreaded trouble. Mr. Joseph Lud- fington. New Harbor, N. §., says: "Some three years ago my wife was stricken with rheumatism, and suf- fered 80 much tha. we dispaired of ler ever getting well again. At first she was able to go about, but In spite of all we did for her she hee s0 bad that we had to lift her n and out of bed, and finally the pains grew so excruciating that we could only move her little by little, with the sheet under her. Finally we were induced to get Dr. Wil- Jiams' Pink Pills for her. I do not remember just how many boxes she took, but I do know that they were the first medicine that reached the isease, and that she continued to mprove until she was again as well ps-ever, and cou o her house- hold work. To us it is simply marvellous what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for her, and we are glad to give this testimonial in the hope that it will benefit some other poor sufferer.' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or pix boxes for $2.50 by writing The Pr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville. Ont. a PATTERING RAINDROPS. Varying Sound Effects on Umbrel- las of Different Fabrics. "The patter of the raindrops on e roof, as the poet puts it," said Mr. MacGlinckinton, "has one sound on a shingle roof, another on a tin roof and quite another still on a roof of oorrugated iron; and there's as much variety in the sound of raindrops falling on um- brellas. 'You raise a cotton umbrella, for instance, and the rain falling on it bas no resonance. On a cotton um- brella, the fabric thick and soft and comparatively loosely woven, the raindrops fall with a soft, almost noiseless sort of dull thud; 'the rain and the sound are absorbed in the The most a rheumatic sufferer can hope for in LOVERS CONVEY MICROBES dating from the immortal past that province.

When baby's bowels fre not working regularly illness is. sure to appear, but when the bowels are regular the little one is usually sright, active and happy. No other uedicine for babies bas such g¢: offect on the bowels as has Baby's '}wn Tablets. They make their uction regular, sweeten the sto- -nach and promote good health. Concerning them Mrs. Freeman spongier fabric. No liveliness in the patter of raindrops on a cotton umbrella. "But now you take what they call mw union umbrella, made of a cloth! fe port cotton and part silk, or part inen and part silk. Here we do et a patter of raindrops; the fabric E closely woven enough and tight- ly enough stretched to give some re- jonance. It is a distant patter that we get when the raindrops strike a anion umbrella; but on umbrellas we get the full effect of pattering raindrops on silk umbrellas only. "The silk umbrella is made of a fine fabric, closely and uniformly proven and as tightly stretched be- tween its ribs as a drumhead. It is pn the silk umbrella only that we get the full effect of pattering rain- Brops, sharp, ringing and resonant. If romantically inclined, we have no place where we can go to listen to the patter of the raindrops. on the roof, we can get somewhere near to that effect by walking abroad in the rain carrying a silk umbrella.' ----------_ tr "How bright and happy May looks since her engagement."

My baby girl was troubled with her bowels and was so small and puny I thought we would lose her. I saw Baby's Own Tablets ad- vertised and began giving them to her and now she is a big, healthy happy baby. For this I thank the Tablets, and I always keep them in the house." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. a GERMAN BUREAUCRACY. A good story is going the rounds of the French newspapers illustrat- ing the beauties of bureaucratic government in Germany, says the London Globe. We are told that in the Post Office Department, if a clerk wishes a new pencil, he has to hand in the stump of the one with. In the particular instance cited a clerk received his new pen- cil without returning the end. Be- fore the omission was discovered the clerk was transferred to an- other office. Just after he had com- menced his duties at. his new post he received an official intimation that he had neglected to hand in-his pencil end. By this time it had disappeared, but to prevent bother the clerk purchased a new pencil, cut off a piece about the length of the missing bit, and despatched it to the stationery department. ------k---____..
