They mean not only beauty but good health. When a woman's blood is scanty or anaemic, her color fades. she looks debilitated, is short of breath and her heart palpitates after slight exertion. Sometimes this trouble is accompanied by severe headaches, or pains in the back or sides. This condition is entirely due to weak, watery blood, and can only be cured by making the blood rich, red and pure. For this purpose there is nothing can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. which act directly upon the blood, and in this way bring new health and strength to weak, ailing people. Mrs. Anderson, Hearst, Ont., says: "Before corning to Canada from England I was a sufferer from anaemia for upwards of a year. I had been gradually getting paler and weaker. I did pot realize that t was sick, but felt constantly tired and worn out. I had no ambition for anything. and grew so white that my brothers used to call me 'snowball.' At this stage my mother decided that she would get I)r. Williams' Pink Pitis, which are a favorite medicine in England as well as in Canada. On the day I'$lommenced taking them I fainted on getting out of bed and mother urged me to stay in bed for a new days. I really felt so weak that I was glad to take her advice. 1 looked more like a corpse than a living pers.in. 1 remained in bed for a week, taking the pills regularly, and then I felt that 1 was able to get up, though not able 10 go about. From that on, however, 1 gained strength daily. and in a little more than a month 1 was feeling as well as ever 1 did. The color returned to my cheeks and lips, and my friends were all surptiaed at my rapid recovery. I took no medicine but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so they deserve all the credit for my re- storation to health." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine. or by mail at 50 cents a box or stx boxes for $2.50 from the Dr.• Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. NEAF(HtTH. E. W.

A Trail Across the Rockies The first trip over the Simpson Pass through the Canadian Pacific Rockies was made by Slr George /Simpson, Getrernor of the Hudson's Bay Company, In 1841, and formed part of the first recorded over- land tour round the world, that is to say across the North American Continent, and by way of Siberia aad Russia, occupying about nine months. and the subject of consid- erable literature. Jim Brewster, the famous guide and outfitter at Banff, alscovered the fallen tree on the sammlt of the Pau on which the travellers lett their record. Fired by the ambition to cross this pass, i set out one day this summer, with two guides, ten pon- ies and camping outfit and sup- plies for 1x or seven days.
