Dr. Kdeboh‘s mentions a grain of oat, a fin of a fish, a fruit stone, a chocolate nut, melon #seeds, cherry stones, _ prune stones, _ raspberry seeds, a date seed, orange seeds, toâ€" moto seeds, a bean. A gelatine capâ€" sule is also ircluded in the iist of foreign contents of that magazine. There is a reminder for boarders in the list, too, for, although butter isn‘t mentioned, hair is recorded as having been found there. Huckjeberty and blackberry seeds, a plece of the shell of a hazel nut, peanuts, a piece of chestnut, a bristle, a glazier‘s point of zinc, a gliobule of solder, a piece of bone, a cartridge, a piece of a screw, and a knot of a heavyy silk ligature that bad been used in some abdominal surgery are also in the list. l‘ins, the doctor says, have been the foreign bodies most frequently met, a statement which furnishes a mute approval of the objection _ mothers have to the infantile tendency to gobble pins, and possibly a warning to others who utilize the mouth in lieu of a pinâ€"cushion. It used to be thought that these foreign bodies were the cause of apâ€" pendicitis. But Dr. Edebohls says that the lodgment of these in the appendix is probably the result rather than the cause of the disease. _ Bacâ€" teriological investigation has shown, in practically every case, that appenâ€" dicitis is due to bacterial invasion of the appendix walls. * The first operation for appendicitis, so far as the records show, was in 1759. That was for the purpose of drawing an abscess, not for the reâ€" moval of the appendix. _ The beginâ€" ning of the modern surgical treat~ ment was in 1867. Since 1890, accordâ€" ing to Dr. Edebohis, the large maâ€" jority of surgeons advocate removal of the appendix in acute appendicitis. The ring of nonâ€"tariil fire insurance companies has been _ very much strengthened by the advent in the field of _ the Victoriaâ€"Montreal, a strong company from Montreal, charâ€" tered by special act of the Dominion Parliament. While the companies, outâ€" side the Board of Underwriters were few and had to curtail their lines to small holdings, as their business was spread over a comparatively restrictâ€" ed area, very little headway could be made, but now that a powerful comâ€" pany, doing business all over the Amâ€" eriean continent, has cast its lot with them, tho strength of the Board to dictate rates and conditions will be fully tested.

Barkley, of Hamilton, Finds a Cure for Rheumatism Gentlemen,â€"IL have been for three years troubled with Rheumatism. I have tried several remedies but to no use. I could not get any relief. I heard of Dodd‘s Kidney Pills and the wonderful cures they had made and decided to try them. 1 got one box and after I used half of this box I found I was getting better. I have used six boxes and now I can walk without my cane. I consider 1 am cured. I remain, yours, etc., George Barkley, Hamilton, Ont. Edforts to Secure an Inquiry lnte Certain Allegations. The Minister of Justice has receiveo the report of Chief Justice Killam, of Manitoba, who was the trial Judge when Hilda Blake, of Brandon, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death for the murcer of her mistress, Mrs. Lane, who was the wife of a wellâ€"known merchant of Brandon. He Makes no Secret About itâ€"Everyâ€" body Can Have the Benefit of His Experienceâ€"Dodd‘s Kidncy Pills are Within the Reach of all. At the trial, although the Chief Jusâ€" tice assigned counsel for the prisoner, she declined to discuss her case with the lawyer and insisted on pleading guilty. _ Nince her condemnation the murderess has altered her views reâ€" garding her guilit, and now alleges that she was incited to the deed by a third party, who, of course, cannot be mentioned. It is asserted by Miss Blake that this person wronged her and promised if she killed Mrs. Laue to marry her. Thoe Minister of Justice has asked the Deputy Attorneyâ€"Genetal of Manitoba to have his otficers inâ€" quire into the woman‘s allegations, and until his report shall have been récoived no recommendation will be made to the Cabinet. It is not beâ€" lieved that the murderoess is telling the truth, and if h>r story is found to be false it is probable that the death senâ€" tence will be executed. Hamilton, Dec. 11.â€"George Barkâ€" ley, a moulder, of this city, is satisâ€" fied hbe hbhas found a sure cure for Rheumatism at last. He, as is well known among his friends, has been searching for such a medicine for the last few â€" years and until recently quite vairly. He has since been cured of his own case and he reasonably inâ€" fers that the remedy that cured him will cure uthers. Rheumatism is well known to be a disease resulting from disordered kidâ€" neys. That is nowadays an acknowâ€" ledged fact. VUric acid, which should be filtered out of the blood by .the kidneys, remains in the system when those organs are unhealthy, and lodges in the joints, causing rheumaâ€" tism The reasonable argument reâ€" mains therefore to curs Rheumatisin by curing the kidneys. This is exactly what Mr. Barkley did. He used Doad‘s Kidney â€"Pillsâ€"the best kidâ€" ney medicine in the worlGâ€"and is toâ€" day entirely free from his old comâ€" plaint. He writes as follows: Dodd‘s Medicine Co., C Miller‘s Worm Powders are a won derfaul medicine for ailments of child ren. 5+A CkcEA. THAT TERRIBLE APPENDIX, HILDA BLAKIIWD‘S CASE.

Picton, Out., Dec. 7.â€"Every student of Canadian history is tamuaar with the name and achievements of Colonel Henry Young, the United Empire Loyâ€" alist, who was the first white settler in Prince Edward County, and in whose honor old Fort Henry at Kingâ€" ston is named.
