"I have been win`"Fruit-a-tives"
as a family remedy for many years.
They are the best medicine I have
ever tried. "Fruit-•-tives" do me the
moat good -they never gripe and their
action is pleasant.
"I have used them for Indigestion
and Constipation with the hest results,
and I heartily recommend them to
anyone similarly afflicted.
These troubles have left mecomplete-
ly and I give"Fruit-a-tives" full credit
for all this. A nicer pill • man
cannot take."
GEORGE McKAY.
Tbe enormous demand for "Fruit -a,
tives" is steadily increasing, due to the
fact that this wonderful fruit medicine
gives prompt relief in all cases of
Indigestion, Constipation, Sour
Stomach, Rheumatism, Chronic,
Headaches. and Neuralgia, and all
Kidney and Bladder Troubles.

THE NEW STAMP ACT.
The Dominion Government stamp
Ac: come, into effect !.day (Thursday,
April 13th;. A memorandum explain-
ing souse of its provisions has been
issued by the Finance Department at
Ottawa.

ments named.
"The bank bac no authotity- to •fllx
a stamp which the maker of any of
these instruments has neglected to
amx 'l'o do so." says the memoran-
dum, "would be to encourage laxity

W begin 1t would result in trouble Inc
the bank in collecting the two cents."
Stamps for to purposes of the Act
will b•• found in the hands of collectors
of inland revenue, postmasters and

of these special stampe are available,
the tarty issuing the cheque, note or

enue Department.
It is not expected that cheques and

value by mean, of .. die will come into
general use.

In view of the fact that in the otht1

The boots in dry weather gave fa!:
satisfaction, but when subject to drll •

A prominent Woman's Journal re-

wrote the proprietors of Z•at-But
10 the following effect, -•'In cuonec

received in the neighborhood of 14000
lettere. We du not know of one in-

as proved to be the case in regard to
'Lam -Bak."
Herein Iles the proof of the superi-
ority of 'Lam-Buk-the proof of experi-
ence ! No amount of adverti.ing, no
men assertion on nur part could
create such unbounded confidence in
Zam-Buk as these Cazadiao house-
wives bare expressed. Only the plain,
straightforward test of Zara-Bua in
the home could do this.
Zara-Buk is entirely different to all
other ointments. Most ointutenta
coutain coati animal fats. In s({,te
eases these tau clog up the pores of the
skin and retard its action. Zilm-Buk
is purely herbal.
Many ointments have no antiseptic
properties, cannot rare the pain, and
in fast cause pain when used. 'Lam
Buk, on the other hand, is antiseptic.
As soot, OA applied to a wound or sore
it kills the germs, thus banishing all
risk of blood poison. and ends pain
Zam-Buk, unlike many ointments,
eontaina no poisonous coloring matter,
no harsh minerals.
Zaw•Buk is superior to all other
ointments, because it is purely herbal,
and is healing, soothing, and antisep-
tic.
If you suffer from any skin disease,
injury, or chronic sores, remember the
1:1,015) letters from housewives who
have prnved "Lam-Buk. Do no; waste
