The annual meeting of the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance will be hold in the Elm Street Methodist Church, Toronto, commenoing at 9 a, m., on Wednesday, March 3, 1909. It will be in session two days. . Every church congregation in Onta- rio, and every temperance society, is earnestly requested to appoint dele- gates to the annual meet ing of the On- tario branoh of the Dominion Alliance, to be held at the time and plaoe above stated. The convention of 1909 promises :o be not only one of the largest, but one of the most important ever held in the Province of Oatario. "'Among the important matters around which the interest of this convent ion will centre will be a demand for the abolition of the three-fifths require- ment, the question of a proviaoial pro- hibitory law, and the laying of plane for another local option campaign. One of the distinguished visitors who will take part in the convention will be Hoo, Seaborn Wright, of Georgia. Hon. Mr. Wright has been a oouspicu- ous figure among the statesmen of the south for a long term of years, during whioh he has been a leader in the Georgia Legislature He is a strong, wise, progressive politician, a broad- minded philanthropist, and a forcible and eloquent speaker. SKIN • DISEASES These troublesome afflictions are caused wholly by bad blood and an unhealthy state of the system, and can be easily cured by the wonderful blood cleansing proper- ties of Burdock Blood Bitters Many remarkable cures have been made by this remedy, and not only have the un- sightly akin diseases been removed, and a bright clear complexion been produced, but the entire system has been renovated and invigorated at the same same time. SALT RHEUM CURED. Mrs. John O'Connor, Burlington, N.S., writes :—" For years I suffered with Salt Rheum. I tried a dozen different medi- cines, but most of them only made it worse. I was advised to try Burdock Blood Bit- ters. I got a bottle and before I had taken half a dozen doses I could see a change so I continued its use and now I am completely cured. I cannot say too much for your wonderful medicine." STOMACH COMFORT. When the Stomach Rebels, Headache, Indigestion and Nerve Pain Fol- Tows—Mi-o-na Brings Relief. Just as soon as yon are done eating the healthy stomach commences to churn the food around and mixes it thoroughly with the juices of the stomach. If the food is not ohurned, it lays heavily on your stomaoh, turns sour and causes all kinds of distressing symptoms, such as headache, indiges- tion, stomach pain and dyspepsia. Mi•o-na helps the stomaoh' to properly mix the food. John S. May, of Isabella Street, Belleville, Ont., says: "For over seven months I was in constant agony with a ease of nervous dyspepsia and indiges- tion that medical skill could not re- lieve, I was weak and bad loot mnoh weignt through loss of appetite and suffering. My meals would fill me with gas and a feeling of oppression morose the stomaoh and all up the left side, left me in a miserable condition. I was restless at night and as tired and un - refreshed in the morning as on going to bed. A choking sensation in my throat was always constant when lying down, and my heart seemed to flutter and pound as though ,11 were doming out through my side. I was benefitted, from the first two days' nee of Mi•o•na. I began *0 feel like myself again, my appetite returned and the depressive feeling left me. I oan enjoy my meals without the least worry of after euf- Tering. I have gained in weight and OEM Sleep the night through in comfort.

Since t a marked change has taken place—there has been a steady contraction n the trade of the country, and the demand for banking accommodation as been limited, although we now find an improvement in this r spect, can confidently look for a gradual expari'sion in business. A c p so- ewhat above the average was harvested, and the proceeds distributed hr..gh the country, which has tended largely to increase deposits. From t causes just mentioned the Cash Reserves of the Bank have been particularly strong for some months, and the percentage of liquid assets Is exceptionally high. In January, 1908, we took over Branches of the Sovereign Bank at Ba- den, Linwood, Marmora, Mount Albert, New Dundee and Pefferlaw. The Pei- ferlaw office was subsequently closed. Branches have also been established at the corner of King and Went-. worth Streets, Hamilton, on Upper Sherbourne Street, Toronto, and at Wawota, Sask. It is our intention to shortly erect an office at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and Vaughan Road, Toronto, where a site has recently been purchased. Further expenditures have been made at Avenue Road Branch. Toronto, at Fort William and Windsor, Ont., at the North End Branch, Winnipeg, at Selkirk and Deloraine, Man., and at Grenfell and Regina, Sask., to an extent fully warranted by the importance of the Bank's interests at' these points. In connection with the issue of $1,000,000 of new Capital Stock in 1907, it is worthy of note that the amount subscribed for has now been paid in full. A Special Committee of. your Directors has completed the customary veri- fication of the General Balance Sheet of the Bank as on 31st December, 1908, including the certification of oar funds in the hands of Foreign Agents. They have also examined and found correct the Cash Reserves, Investments and Securities as shown on the Statement presented. All Branches of the Bank have been thoroughly inspected during the , year. E. 13. OSLER, President. The Report was adopted. The thanks of the shareholders were tendered to the President, Vice -Pre- sident and Directors for their services during the year, and to the General Manager and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respective duties. The following gentlemen were duly elected Directors for the ensuing year: Messrs. A. W. Austin, W. R. Brock, James Carruthers. R. J. Christie, J. C. Eaton, J. J. Foy, ICC., M,L.A., W. D. Matthews, A. M. Nanton and E. B. Osler, M.P. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors Mr. E. B. Osler, M.P., was elect- ed President, and Mr. W. D. Matthews Vice -President for the ensuing term.

It will be in session two days. . Every church congregation in Onta- rio, and every temperance society, is earnestly requested to appoint dele- gates to the annual meet ing of the On- tario branoh of the Dominion Alliance, to be held at the time and plaoe above stated. The convention of 1909 promises :o be not only one of the largest, but one of the most important ever held in the Province of Oatario. "'Among the important matters around which the interest of this convent ion will centre will be a demand for the abolition of the three-fifths require- ment, the question of a proviaoial pro- hibitory law, and the laying of plane for another local option campaign. One of the distinguished visitors who will take part in the convention will be Hoo, Seaborn Wright, of Georgia. Hon. Mr. Wright has been a oouspicu- ous figure among the statesmen of the south for a long term of years, during whioh he has been a leader in the Georgia Legislature He is a strong, wise, progressive politician, a broad- minded philanthropist, and a forcible and eloquent speaker. SKIN • DISEASES These troublesome afflictions are caused wholly by bad blood and an unhealthy state of the system, and can be easily cured by the wonderful blood cleansing proper- ties of Burdock Blood Bitters Many remarkable cures have been made by this remedy, and not only have the un- sightly akin diseases been removed, and a bright clear complexion been produced, but the entire system has been renovated and invigorated at the same same time. SALT RHEUM CURED. Mrs. John O'Connor, Burlington, N.S., writes :—" For years I suffered with Salt Rheum. I tried a dozen different medi- cines, but most of them only made it worse. I was advised to try Burdock Blood Bit- ters. I got a bottle and before I had taken half a dozen doses I could see a change so I continued its use and now I am completely cured. I cannot say too much for your wonderful medicine." STOMACH COMFORT. When the Stomach Rebels, Headache, Indigestion and Nerve Pain Fol- Tows—Mi-o-na Brings Relief. Just as soon as yon are done eating the healthy stomach commences to churn the food around and mixes it thoroughly with the juices of the stomach. If the food is not ohurned, it lays heavily on your stomaoh, turns sour and causes all kinds of distressing symptoms, such as headache, indiges- tion, stomach pain and dyspepsia. Mi•o-na helps the stomaoh' to properly mix the food. John S. May, of Isabella Street, Belleville, Ont., says: "For over seven months I was in constant agony with a ease of nervous dyspepsia and indiges- tion that medical skill could not re- lieve, I was weak and bad loot mnoh weignt through loss of appetite and suffering. My meals would fill me with gas and a feeling of oppression morose the stomaoh and all up the left side, left me in a miserable condition. I was restless at night and as tired and un - refreshed in the morning as on going to bed. A choking sensation in my throat was always constant when lying down, and my heart seemed to flutter and pound as though ,11 were doming out through my side. I was benefitted, from the first two days' nee of Mi•o•na. I began *0 feel like myself again, my appetite returned and the depressive feeling left me. I oan enjoy my meals without the least worry of after euf- Tering. I have gained in weight and OEM Sleep the night through in comfort.

Since t a marked change has taken place—there has been a steady contraction n the trade of the country, and the demand for banking accommodation as been limited, although we now find an improvement in this r spect, can confidently look for a gradual expari'sion in business. A c p so- ewhat above the average was harvested, and the proceeds distributed hr..gh the country, which has tended largely to increase deposits. From t causes just mentioned the Cash Reserves of the Bank have been particularly strong for some months, and the percentage of liquid assets Is exceptionally high. In January, 1908, we took over Branches of the Sovereign Bank at Ba- den, Linwood, Marmora, Mount Albert, New Dundee and Pefferlaw. The Pei- ferlaw office was subsequently closed. Branches have also been established at the corner of King and Went-. worth Streets, Hamilton, on Upper Sherbourne Street, Toronto, and at Wawota, Sask. It is our intention to shortly erect an office at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and Vaughan Road, Toronto, where a site has recently been purchased. Further expenditures have been made at Avenue Road Branch. Toronto, at Fort William and Windsor, Ont., at the North End Branch, Winnipeg, at Selkirk and Deloraine, Man., and at Grenfell and Regina, Sask., to an extent fully warranted by the importance of the Bank's interests at' these points. In connection with the issue of $1,000,000 of new Capital Stock in 1907, it is worthy of note that the amount subscribed for has now been paid in full. A Special Committee of. your Directors has completed the customary veri- fication of the General Balance Sheet of the Bank as on 31st December, 1908, including the certification of oar funds in the hands of Foreign Agents. They have also examined and found correct the Cash Reserves, Investments and Securities as shown on the Statement presented. All Branches of the Bank have been thoroughly inspected during the , year. E. 13. OSLER, President. The Report was adopted. The thanks of the shareholders were tendered to the President, Vice -Pre- sident and Directors for their services during the year, and to the General Manager and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respective duties.
