Dodge, of Bloomsbury. "The heat had made me listless and the distaste for food reduced me to a condition of semiâ€"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 suggesâ€" 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 they cleansed the system, inâ€" 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 right to the liver, and in a very brief time not only did all source of nausea disappear, but I began to crave food and I digested it reasonably well. Then I began to put on weight until within three ; months I was brought to a condiâ€" tion of good health. I urge Dr. Hamilton‘s Pills for all who are in poor health."‘ Gaincd in Weight, Digestion Restored, Health Renewed Here Is More Proof of Quick Cure For All Folks That Are Weak, Ailing, Necvous.

A despatch from Athens says : A Greek torpedo boat entered the harbor of Aivala on Sunday and at tacked a Turkish gunboat there.

The Bquare is worth probably & million dollars now, though it was originally purchased by the Govâ€" ernment for a few thousand. The arguâ€" ment that the increase should be handed over to the city because it was the city‘s growth that gave it the increased value Is knoclgad into a cocked hat by the Preâ€" 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." _ _ e There is little doubt but that the book will have influence on future generaâ€" tions. Sir Richard had undoubted abilâ€" ity, and a turn of the wheel of fortune might at more than one stage in his caâ€" reer have made him Premier of Canada. Doubtless he would have made a judiciâ€" ous Prime Minister, but in that case he would have scarcely left us his delightâ€" ful reminiscences. His views on public questions were made known pretty thoroughly during his lifeâ€" time, but he leaves m succinct account of them for fulure generations. The depoâ€" pulation of Ontario and the issue of proâ€" tection receive the fullest consideration. Of Sir John A. Macdonald he speaks vehemently, but with some mellowness. Repeatedly he declares that Sir John‘s Pacific deal and his subsequent reâ€"endorâ€" sation by the country did more to deâ€" grade the public life of Canada than will be overcome for generations. Of Laurler. Of Laurier he speaks e‘{srdially. but withâ€" out any apparent enthusiasm. No douht he will have more to say on this subject in a second volume, whic@@the publishers promise. later, the present one stopping short at the year 1896. Alexander Macâ€" kenzie is praised for his personal qualiâ€" ties, and fiis weaknesses as a politician goinbed out. McGreevy is described as an onest man, but & seapegoat. Of course, Sir Richard, during a long life, came in contact with all the prominent men of an interesting era, and he gives his estiâ€" mate of most of them. : Perhaps the most surprising thing about SBir Richard‘s book is his criticism of Edâ€" 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 deâ€" scribed as "treacherous" to Laurier and Cartwright, the Dominion and Ontario leaders respectively in the House of Comâ€" mons. _ Hi@ resignation of the Liberal leadership in 1887, one is led to infer, was the act of a quitter, wher victory was within sight. . 4 One of the most serious charges against Blake is that he deliberately and needâ€" lessly estranged the Orange Order from the Liberal party, particularly by his atâ€" titude on Riel and by his direct attack on the Order in Parliament. This, Sir Richâ€" ard afirmp, will take generations to counteract. "Of conrse the percentage of such men would vary in different ridings But taking the farm populations of Outario as a whole you would bave found in most cons‘iituenciee a considerable number of just such men as I have describedâ€"earâ€" nest, thoughtful,. intelligent and wellâ€" read men, at least as far as the political history of Canada was concerned. They had their limitations, no doubt, but as & whole they stood for honest governmens. If they had a fault, it lay in their stavnch devotions to their respective parties, which sometimes made them condore conâ€" duct which at the bot:om 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 SBeotch colony. At any rate they were a claes of whom any country might be prond, and the men from whom most of our leading public and profesâ€" sional men have sprung. Lney would study our blue books, and even such a formidable document as the Auditorâ€"Genâ€" eral‘s report, with a zeal which very few of our members of Parliament ever beâ€" stow upon them." . A particularly significant chapter is one in which he rays a tribute to the intelliâ€" %ence and ability of the Ontario farmer. n part he says: "No one thing has been made more, clear to me during my poliâ€" tical experience than the extreme ignorâ€" ance of a vass number of otherwise inâ€" telligent and wellâ€"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 politicai parâ€" ties, among the be:ter class of farmers thar among the soâ€"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 altention 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 tâ€"ld them. Many a time, and sometimes after the lapse of twouty years, I have been reâ€" minded of statements made by myself in times past and called on for explanations if they thought there was any discrepâ€" ancy between my then and former posiâ€" tion.
