From maturity to middle life the health and happiness of every woman depends upon her blood, its richness and its regu- larity. If her blood rs poor and watery she is weak and languid. pale and nerv- ous. If her blood is irregular she suffers untold torture from headaches, back- aches and sideaches, and other unspeak- able diseases which only women know. Some women have grown to expect this suffering at regular intervals, and bear it in hopeless silence. But they would escape the greater part of it if they took a box or two of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills each time to help them over the critical period. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They help a woman just when nature makes the greatest demand upon her blood sup- ply. They have done this for thousands, of women throughout Canada - why; shouldn’t they do that much for youll Mrs. James Candy. 25 Edith avenue. Toronto, says: "I think Dr. Wiliami Pink Pills a medicine that should be taken regularly by every woman in the land. I suffered greatly from those ail- ments that only a woman knows. I had baekaehes and headaches, and a weary "searing down pain. I was very irregular, and was often forced to go to bed for two or three days at a time. I tried many medicines, but pot nothing to help me until I began taking Dr. William’ Pink Pills, and they have given me new health and relief from pain, and made me regular. I cannot saw how thankful I am for what the medicine has done for me, and I would urge all women who suffer as I did to try Dr. Witliams' Pink Pills.” --- - --.. /, A Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the great- est cure in all the wide world for ell the weakness and backeches of anaemia, all the heaviness and distress of indigestion, all the sharp stabbing pains of neural- h WOMAN’S HEALTH I'll DUI: claw-'1 ..‘__v_,," I gin, rheumatism, lumbago nnd sciatica.‘ and all the other ills that come from poor, weak, watery blood.

Again "the beGrisr went through the same procedure, only this time coming back with a bigger load of weeds. Then too, went away quickly, like the rest. Then the wing little animal surveyed the hole and decided on another plan of work. Agaih he swam away, but soon re- turned with two huge branches of a tree which he bod cut off with his sharp teeth. One of them he allowed to float crosswise to the hole in the dam, being certain that it was big enough not to float through while in that position. The othe; he calmly took and pushed deep into the mud at one side of the well. When that had been sent to it: proper position, he took the other from the centre of the break and did the some thing at the other side, allowing the ends to lap over, but being assured that the end in the mud had been made secure enough not to be washed away by Lthe water.

In this way the beaver made a foundation for further operatlgn, Never once did he tire of his work, but oeeatsiontdly would sit upright and survey what he had done with evident satisfaction. When the crouwork had all been formed with the pieces of wood, the animal then began to carry loads of mud and deposit it in front of the new breturtwork. At least a dozen tri s of this kind had to be made before the flow of water had been stopped to any grog. extent. - . When the water had been partially shut off he again started to bring straw end weeds, which were carefully stuck Into mull openings and cracks.

Sleeplessness in little ones comes from teething troubles or derange- ments of the stomach or bowels, that can be speedin eured by Baby’s Own Tablets. An.d the mother should remem- ber that this is the only medicine for children that gives a solemn guaran- tee that there is not a particle of opiate or harmful drug in its com- position. Mm. A.

We are told an excellent 'nuthority that he used two ounces for his hrenkl'net end two for his tee, with men, And that for this tea-2the finest Sooehong--he paid at first 14 shillings and afterward 12 shillings per pound. Perhaps this extra. vagance and excessive consumption of tea may account for some of the csup- ;ist’e quarrelsomeness.

" Wu", ...- w..- .__ - _-"-" - Another man of letters of a very dit. ferent type, Nathaniel Hawthorne, who might have equalled the doctor. curbed his tea-drinking propensities early When he was a very young man Haw. theme was in the habit of visiting at a house where the hostess made excellent tea. and one evening when the visitor's cup was passed to be refilled she said: "Now, Mr. Hawthorne, I am going to play Mrs. Thrale to your Johnson. I know you are a slave to my tea." The young man made no reply, but he had no inclination to play the role assigned to him, and for five years from that night Hawthorne did not touch a cup of tea--a protest which seems as etc cessive in its way as the inclination which his hostess had attributedtr him. There hare been other heroes of the teapot not a few. Hartley Coleridge may fairly claim a place among to. itopers. Someone is said to have asked (him once how many cups he usually {drank and to have received the soomid [reply]: "Cttpst I don't count by cups. I count by pots!" Then there have - others whom it would be hardly fair to rank as tea topers, but who have shown marked devotion to the teapot. In re. cent days Mr. Gladstone and Dean Star ley would appear in this class. but.
