He says: "Somcthing over a year ago I was a gasoline salesman when I was taken gick. I felt very miserable and lost twelve pounds in weight. I did not sleep well and could not eat as I could scarcely rotain anything in my stomâ€" ach. I went to a local doctor who told me the fumes of the gas had got into my system. He gave me some medicine and told me I had better go to the country for a change of air. I did so, but 1 still felt restless and grogsy, ard had no ambition. On the advice of a friend I decided to try Dr. Williafs‘ Pink Pills. I had not been taking the pills long before I was beâ€" ginniug to rest better, and to eat fairly well. I kept on taking the pills until at the end of the seventh box I knew I did not need any more, as I had gained the ‘sht I had lost, slept well and could eat anything.

The Zermatt valley, as we may see it in August, has little charm of its own. 1 was puzzled, when at last I ventured to visit this innermost Through the evenings we sat by log fires, the women laceâ€"making and talking, the men carving or idling, andâ€"oftenâ€"all singing.

Operations along this line are becoming more pronounced from year to year. A country that can show vast railway and steamship serâ€" vices, aeroplanes for commercial purâ€" poses, great hydroâ€"electric industries, motion picture enterprises, coal minâ€" ing paternalism, wholesale and retail liquor control, etc., all under the aegis of Federal and Provincial Governments â€"such a country is surely on the road to State control of certain industries, whether it knows it or not. But this progress must not be confounded with socialism as we understand it in European countries. There is no room at all for Socialism of that kind in any part o fthe North American Conâ€" tinent, while Communism has scarceâ€" ly any supporters at all in Canada. The state control I have indicated is merely the operation of certain utiliâ€" ties which the Federal and Provincial Governments of the Dominion are undertaking for the general welfare. â€"Extract from "The Economist," Lonâ€" don, 11/6/27, Hlawatha From Vermont.

The Tablets are praised by thousands of mothers throughout the country. These mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for her children she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles Hutt, Tancook Island, N.S., writes: "I have ten children, the baby being just six months old I have used Baby‘s Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years, and can truthfully say that I know of no better medicine for little ones.
