a year I was a viectim of rheumatism in a most painful form. The trouble was located in my legs, and for a long time was so bad that I could â€"not walk. ’The suffering which I endured can only be imagined by those who have beenâ€" similarly afflicted. _ Dostors‘ treatment did not help me, ard then I began trying other remedies, but with no better results. Finally I was adâ€" vised to try Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, and although I had begun to, lose faith in medicine, I finally decided to egive the pills a trial. I am very grateful now that I did so, for after taking eight boxes of the pills the trouble completely disappeared, I was free from pain and could walk as well as ever I did in my life. I have since taken the pills occasionally as a preâ€" cautionary measure, and I cannot * speak too highly in their favor. ‘The Disease is in the Blood and Must Be Treated Through ~$. the Blood. There are almost as many ways of ‘treating rheumatism as there are docâ€" tors. Most of these treatments are directed at the symptoms and are conâ€" gidered successful if they relieve the _pain and the stiffness. But the pain Fand the stiffness return particularly if the patient has been exposed to dampness. This shows that the poiâ€" son was not driven from the system by the treatment employed. Rheumaâ€" tism can be relieved in a number of ways, but there is only one way to cure it, and that is through the blood, â€" expelling the poisonous acid that _ causes the aches and pains and stiffâ€" ~ness. To renew and enrich the blood there is no medicine can equal Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, which go right to the root of the trouble and cure rheumatism to stay cured. The folâ€" lowing is an example of what Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills can do in cases of this kind. Mr. Henry Smith, St. Jerome, Que., says:â€""For upwards of "This is written after an experience of more than 20 years treating all manner of chronic and acute diseases, and the letter is voluntary on my part without any request for it." "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grapeâ€"Nuts and cream; and I think it is necessary not to overload the stomâ€" ach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grapeâ€"Nuts when the stomach is too weak to digest other food. "It is my experience that no physiâ€" cal condition forbids ‘the use of Grapeâ€" Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach especially at breakfast to start the machinery of the human system on the day‘s work. A Physician on Food. A Western physician has views about food. He says: Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Ever read the above letter ? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Interest. "With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying, that, in my own experience and also from personal observation, I have found no food to equal Grapeâ€"Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence. HOW TO CURE "I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health especially by hygienic and dietetic laws. "The cricket ball works by a time fuse. The removal of a certain pin releasesâ€"a spring which lights an internal fuse timed to explode the bomb in five seconds. You take the bomb in your right hand, remove the pin and cast the thing madly from from you. The jam tin variety apâ€" peals more particularly to the sportsâ€" man, as the element of chance enters largely into its successful use. It is timed to explode about ten seconds after the lighting of the fuse." "The hair brush is very like thei ordinary hair brush except that the: bristles are replaced by a solid blockf of high explosive. The policeman‘s truncheon has gay streamers of tape tied to its tail to insure that it falls to the ground nose downward. Both these bombs explode on impact, andl‘ it is inadvisable to knock them against anything, say the back of the’ trench, when throwing them. | You can get Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Magazine Describes the Hair Brush _ _ _ _ and Others. There are no other articles on the subject of the war that can compare with those to be found month by month in _ Blackwood‘s Magazine. Even the censor has been unable. to take the life and spirit out of them, and perhaps because they see. the light so long after the events they deâ€" scribe have occurred they contain valuable and interesting information not to be found elsewhere. A writer in the current numâ€" ber gives an interesting account of the various bombs that are being used in the trenches. He‘says: FEINDS FOUR KINDS OF BOMBS. WISE WORDS RHEUMATISM [ The Literary Digest, September 18, ©1915, has an article, the first sentence of which reads, "The impulse to drunkenness is disease." After pointâ€" |ing out that men drink for various |reasons, it says that those who "drink to get drunk are abnormal; they are diseased." This fact has _been brought out distinetly in the psyâ€" chopathic laboratory of the Chicago Municipal Court. Judge Olson of the Court says, "We have yet to find the first case of the kind where there is not a tendency to epilepsy, dementia | praecox, manic depressive insanity, or feeble mindedness." All this means that the man who frequently gets drunk is of unsound mind and should be so treated. In Kansas they ‘send | chronic drunkards to an asylum for the insane. In Ohio they have an inâ€" i stitution to whoch the habitual drunkâ€" ard may be sent by the judge on apâ€" plication by the friends until he is ‘considered cured. I knew a clever |young man who went to an asylum and begged the Superintendent to take him in for a year till he would have a chance to break off. There are many such pitiful cases for which there is no provision made, in spite of the revenue from the traffic that causes it. Pigâ€"iron is produced in greater quantity by the United States than by any other country; Germany and Luxemburg rank second for supply, and the United Kingdom third. Think what the Red Cross has saved in that most precious of all commodities â€" human life â€" and be certain when next you put your name on a Red Cross subscription list that you have made a very profitable inâ€" vestmentâ€"to say nothing of performâ€" ing a humane and patriotic act. If you are inclined to believe that the age of miracles is past and wish visible evidence of Red Cross thaumaâ€" turgy, you have only to look at our returned soldiers who are now coming home in steadily increasing numbers. Nearly every returned soldier is a Red Cross miracle, for in the majority of cases a soldier is invalided home only when he is physically incapaciâ€" tated for further service. You may think that some of them are sadly crippled and mutilated, but if you could compare their condition toâ€"day with their condition when they were first placed in the hands of surgeon and nurse, you would be able to estiâ€" mate what the Red Cross has done in the way of patching up and healing shattered bodies. In Canada, however, you can not see the greatest miracles of the Red Cross and Army Service Corpsâ€"the men who have been made sound and whole and as good as new again, and are once more back in the trenches, making one life do double service. Indeed, is is not a miracle that one man having only one life to give should be able to give that life twice and even three times overâ€"thanks to the Red Cross. It is a serious reflection on our civilization that there is no provision made for this class, most of them the victims of the license system. . We see such men going down for years, wasting their substance in drink, begâ€" garing their families and becoming a nuisance and often a menace to soâ€" ciety, and little or nothing is done to help them. They sometimes try desperately to break off, but what hope in the presence of the open barâ€" room and the treating custom? The physician is not allowed to send them to any institution unless he is very rich. There is neither hope nor help for him till he becomes insane or comâ€" mits a crime. But what caused this diseased condition? "The curse causeâ€" less shall not come." Statistics genâ€" erally point to a drinking father or grandfather. He was probably ignorâ€" ant of the fact that his drinking would injure his children and grandâ€" children. Do your eyes give you trouble ?

This expression dates back to feudal days, and refers to the old forest laws, which gave perâ€" mission to poor people to gather wood on condition that they neither cut nor sawed timber. Those branches which they could break, or such sticks as could be carried away were theirs, but this was all they were entitled to. To pull down dead branches, or reâ€" move sticks from the underbrush, certain hooks and crooked poles were brought into use. Those in time came to be called hooks and crooks. By their use the peasants managed to procure all the wood needed. Hence the expression "by hook or by crook."

The story of the "lonely soldier" at the front, published in a London newspaper, describing how he shrank away "shamefaced and empty handed when the postal lorries rumbled in and eager hands shot up for letters and parcels from dear ones at home," has had an amusing sequel. Within three days there arrived ninety huge parcels for the lonely one, six bags of smaller parcels, and 3,000 letters! Again, a Manchester paper printed a letter from a corporal in the Second South Lancashires, saying he was probably unique as a man who had not received a single communication from the home land since the war began.
