Do you have headaches?
Do your eyes ache?
Do your eyes water ?
Do you have difficulty
when reading?
Does the print blur?
These are all indications of de-
fective eyesight.
Using both the objective
and subjective methods
of testing we can guar-
antee correction of all of
these troubles.
Talk the matter over
with Mr. Sexsmith, our
eyesight specialist. If
you require lenses you
may depend on getting
them at the most reason-
able charge.
Your examination will cost
you nothing.

A (food Digestion
Depends Upon Keeping the
Blood Rich, Red and
Pure.
To be able to eat what you want and
to dgest it properly is a price.ess blessing.
Good digestion is not appreciated until
you love it. Then you cannot afford to
experiment, for strong medicines are hard
on weak stomachs If you have indiges-
tion do not be persuaded into believing
you can cure yourself by the use of pre-
digested kids or so-called stomach tonics.
There is no tonic for the stomach that is
not a tonic for every part of the body. It
is through the blood that the stomach
gets its power to assimilate and digest
rood. and as the blood goes to every pan
of the body and improvement in its con-
dition not only results in strengthening
the stomach but every organ m the body.
Rich red blood is absolutely necessary to
good digestion. if your stomach is week
and you are troubled with sour risings in
the throat, a feeling of pressure about the
heart, or nausea after eating, try the tonic
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
So many dys,ieptic& have been cured by
this medicine that every sufferer from
stomach trouble should try it. You will
soon know the joy of good digestion and
enjoy better health in other ways if you
give this medicine a fair tnal. Mr. Fredt
J. Kendall. Darlin avenue. Toronto, says.
••For upwards of five years 1 was a grea:
sufferer Erten indigestion, which gradually
undermined my 1 health, leaving
me in a weal and anaemic condition. I
spent considerable money with one doctor
and another, but failed to receive any
lasting benefit, and had become quite
discouraged. One day my wife urged me
to try( Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but I
thought it would be the same old story.
But she had so much faith in them that
she got me a box, and to please her I be-
gan taking them. By the time the box
was hmshed 1 noticed a slight improve-
ment and I continued taking them and
soon found myself gaining. 1 could sleep

As retorted in The Signal last week,
the morning G. T. R. train, commencing
next Monday, is to leave at 5.5(1 se. m..
arriving at Stretford 7.26 a.m., connecting
with train leaving Stretford 7.35 a.m. and
arriving at Toronto 10.60 a. m. Going
through to Buffalo the train will leave
Stratford 8.00 a. m. t,insteedof 8.60 a.m.),
making an earlier arnval at all intermedi-
ate station to Buffako, at which pant it
will arrive at 1.2.55 p. m. (instead of 1.10
p. m. I.
Before the change in the tirne-table had
been publicly announced Mayor Wigle
was in correspondence with Mr. C. E.
Horning, the district passenger agent, and
advised that 5.30 a. m. (the time then
rumored as decided upon as the hour of
departure for the morning train) would be
most inconvenient for the people of Gode-
rich. He suggested that, if the first train
was to leave so early, another train be
pot on to leave Goderich about s or 0
o'clock m the morning that would cun-
nect with Toronto. Hamilton or Buffalo.
In reply - Mr. Horning stated that it
would not be possible to add another
train between Goderich and Stretford,
neither would a train leaving Goderich
about 8 or 9 o'clock connect at Stratford
with a train for Toronto or Buffalo.
The train at present leaving Stratford
at 9 a. m. for Toronto. with which the
morning train from Godericb connects. is
to be cancelled. Hence the rnxesuty of
making an earlier drputure from Gode-
rich to connect with the train leaving
Stratford at 7.3rn5.
The district {>aa.nragrr agent points cwt
that the afternoon service out of Goderich
will be improved. The train leaving
Goderich at 2.30 p. m. and due at Toronto
8.20 p. m. will on and after Monday next
be due at Toronto 7.20 p. m. and there
will be no delay for connections between
Stafford and Toronto as has :sometimes
been the case under the present schedule
