Ist. 1910. “I am well acquainted with a man, known to thousands in Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster, who for nearly a year was practically a cripple from Rheumatism. He was so troubled with the disease that he found it dificult to even turn over in bed. His heart appeared so Weak that he could hardly walk up stairs. Last June, he received a sample of “Fruit-a-tives”. He used them and dates his recovery from that time. To-day, there is no man in Vancouver enjoying better health. .co la. 1 The Light Sicle of the Time Honored Pest of Old London. It was one William Guppyâ€"“the young man of the name of Guppy”~ who called it “London particular.” At least, it was either he or Charles Dickens who put the words into his mouth. And the term has stuck. It is quite possible, of course, that it may have been street slang before Dickens seiz- ed it, but no one seems to know now whether that was actually so or not. ‘ He was building a house this fall and shingled a good part of the roof in a driving rain, without suffering any bad efiects”.

Mills, (assistant postmaster at Knowlton,rQue.,) glso wijitefg: _ 'LIVULLUL Utauv v-W v.-â€" John Evelyn called a fog a “dismal cloud of sea-coal” two hundred and thirty years ago. He had a fog remedy of a somewhat drastic char- acterâ€"nothing less than to banish from the metropolis all factories re- quiring furnaces. and to plant it throughout with sweet-smelling shrubs and trees. . As one would expect. a great many good stories are told of adventures in the fog. Sir Hiram Maxim. “the man behind the. gun," told last year “I honesufb'é'lieéé that “Fruit-a-tives” is the greatest Rheumatism cure in the world".

The guest emerged from the Tube at Trafalgar Square into a fog. The sulphurous air made the eyes smart and the head ache. and it brought on terrific fits of coughing. To use Sir Hiram’s own words, “You could not, literally, see your own hand before your face. " " L1_... 2.. J .\v\r Thpre was a continual crashing in of windows, bells jangled, vehicles and foot-passengers collided, shrieks and oaths arose. and oaths arose. Threading his way in the midst of this pandemonium through the Strandâ€"at least. as he supposedâ€"- from Landseer's lions to the waiting dinner at the Savoy. he soon found himself.. to his great surprise. de- scending a broad stairway. He put out his hand to the balustrade. .Y‘es, LFUl' Ill? “1‘ Ju Lv l a broad «and statelv stairwawyw with a rail of carwd stone. His perplexitv increased. Where on earth could be be? Suddenly. in his descent. he col- lided with someone ascending the stairway. “Hallo!" he said. “Hallo!” a gruff, male voice re- plied. “Can you tell me.” said the other. ’“Q. “where I am going?” “Certainly!” was the reply."1f you keep straight on you will walk into the Thames, for I’ve just come out Probably the most famous of all the funny fog stories is that of an old 1ady-it nearly always is an old lady --who found herself in a West End square. encircled by a fearful black fog. In vain she tried to pierce the blacks. There was no “t‘other side of the way" visible. Kt last a policeman led her across tl-e road. and instructed her to feel h:'-r way along by clinging to the railing. She obeyed his instructions. She wearily trudged on and on for many hours. And then she discover- ed, to her humiliation. that she had been going round and round the rail- ings in the centre of the square! Evelyn‘s scheme is only one of the many plans which have been evolved in he attempt to abolish fogs. One of he quaintest of allovifas that formu- Kegan Paul in his reminiscences speaks in one. case of his bishop as “an astute and insincere man,” giving this instance of his tnsinceriaty: At a meeting of the clergy at Clapham his chaplain told him that old Dr. Blank, who had been many years in the dio- ccse, was vexed at- having been for- gotten. "Yes,” said the bishOp, “I have not the smallest recollection of him, but I will make it all right and will go and speak to him. Which is be?” He was pointed out, and the bishop made his way to him. “My dear Dr. Blank, I have not had a, mo- ment for real conversation with you. I need not ask you how you are after all these years. Do you still ride your gray mare?” “Yes, my lord. How good of you to remember her !" etc. The chaplain, who was within earshot: said! )1hen he again came near UL x-u. late in 1847 by a joint-stock com- pany. The scheme was to send up huge rockets. and these would, When falling. discharge a quantity of chem- ical spray, which would instantly seize upon and decompose the par- ticles of which fog is composed. U‘btgy' ‘J- ---v'- However. as soon as a few sub- scribers had sent in their money, the whole wild scheme vanished into the thinnest. of fogs, finally disappearing altogether. -â€"â€" -- van-bu “995 the bishop, “Then you did remember Dr. Blank, after all?” “Not a. bit 0! it,” said the bishop. “I saw the gray hairfi on his coat, and I chanced the FOG FACTS AND FICTIONS. of it I" Hit It Right. most famous of a}!
