If you do, you will buy Zam-Buk, for this herbal balm has been proved by thousands to be the most reliable ointment on the market. It not only cures when other ointments fail, but its cures are permanent. Mr. Isaac L. Phinney, of Lower Five Islands, N.S., writes: “Zam-Buk is, without doubt. the most reliable ointment on the market. For two years I suffered with an ulcer on my 1e”. which defied all treatments â€"although I tried many and spent no end of money. Finally I tried Zam-Buk and the results were most encouraging. The ulcer soon showed signs of healing, and per- severance with Zam-Buk worked a complete cure.” Zam-Buk is equally good for ec- zema, rlngworm, abscesses, run- ning sores, blood-poisoning, scalp sores, boils, pimples, piles, cuts, burns. scalds, and all skin injuries.

The Allied Nations Began to Exert 1 Their Strength After Months of Preparation and the Evidence Started to Accumulate That the Teutonic Powers 'Were Sure to Go Down to Defeat in the End. HE year 1916 will be reâ€" membered in history as the year in which the tide changed in the Great War and the Allies secured the advantage over the Central Powers. During 1915 the Teutons scored heavily, while the Allies had to content them- i selves with holding fast and prepar- ing to smash their way to final vic- tory. Last January opened with very, few encouraging signs on the hori- 1 zon. The Gallipoli campaign had? just proved a failure; Serbia was added to the list of martyred nations; General Townshend’s force had been cut off in Kut-el-Amara, and Russia still seemed prostrated from the de- feats of the previous spring. The Allies began slowly to show signs of growing power, and in a few months the initiative commenced to pass from the hands of the Teutons. Be- fore the end of the summer the Allies had taken the offensive on every front. Now the Germans and their friends are on the defensive on every front with the single exception of Roumania, where the end is not yet. Final victory for the cause of civilization is assured. JANUARY. 1. Sir Robert Borden announced in his New Year's message that the Canadian objective will be an overseas army of 500,000 men.

It BRIEF REVIEW OF YEAR CATARBHAL DEAFNESS CAIN- not be cured ‘by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the \ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf- ness and that is by a constitution- a1 remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is. caused by an inflamed condition of? the mucous lining .of the Eustach- ian tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflamma- tion can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing Will be destroyed for ever. Manycases‘ of deafness are caused by Catarrh, which is an in- flamed condition of «the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mu- cous surfaces of the system.

Henry James gave up his American citizenship and he- came a naturalized British sub- ject in 1914 to show his admira- tion of the British stand in the iwar. " During the last week of February one of the greatest military struggles of history commenced, known as the i l g i s l l l _- Battle of Verdun. Experts. now‘ agree that Germany had two objec- tives in launching the offensive against the Verdun fortress. They hoped to capture the stronghold, break through the French line and open the road to Paris. Failing to l i do that, they expected at least to: make the Allied offensive on the West an impossibility. They knew the British would not be ready ~intil midsummer, and believed that Genâ€" eral Haig would have to ston his preâ€" parations to aid the hard-pressed French. All their calculations went wrong. The British took over a portion of the French line to give Joffre more men for the defence of v’erdun. but the preparations for the Allied offensive continued. The French thought seriously for a while of giving up Verdun, as it had little military value, but they feared the effect on the national morale. At Verdun the now famous French watchword was coined ”They shall not pass.” For over five months the vain German effort to break through continued, but gradually came to an end through sheer exhaustion after the launching of the Somme offensive ? by the Allies. By a brilliant stroke in October, the French took back in ten days what the Germans had spent nearly six months in winning. Near- ly half a million Teutonst and the last shreds of the Crown Prince’s re- putation were buried at Verdun. MARCH. 2. Carmen Sylva, Queen Mother of Roumania, died of pneumonia. 3. Russians captured Bitlis in Armenia. 7.
