The damage reported to crops through the late excessive rains has not been as serious as many anticipated, and the dry weather of the following five days enabled farmers to get in a large portion of outstanding grain in pretty good condition.

There never was, and never will be, a universal panacea, in one remelly, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very nature of many curatives being such that were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one i11 in turn would aggravate the other, We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when obtainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grevious ills. By its gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength, by the influence which Qui- nine exerts on Nature's own restoratives.

"That's true," replied the ordinary citizen.

"It must take moral courage to defy convention as you do," The chanteuse gestured deprecatingly. "At the shrine of art," she answered, earnestly, "there is no place for the casuistical distinctions between the moral and the immoral." Such was her devotion to the high ideals of her calling, be it said in pass- ing, that it had taken no more than six brief rehearsals with her press agent be- fore she had become able to say those things. Dr. W. Geo, Beers, Montreal, Editor Dominion Dental Journal, writes: "Dr. levers has been fortunate enough to pro- duce a preparation, which really has no rival, in the Materia Mediea of dentistry. I have investigated its merits, and find it, without exception, the most useful and convenient preparation for the pur- pose I have inet with. We know very well, too, that Chemists sell a lot of pre- parations which do more harm than good. From personal experience, 'and the unanimous verdict of Dr. Ievers' con- freres in Quebec city and Montreal, we have no hesitation in recommending Pheno-Banum or 'Quickcure,' not only as an invaluable addition to dental therapy, but as a family friend in emer- gencies, whore one cannot at once reaoh the dentist."

I have used Pheno-Banum or "Quick - cure" for sufficient time to thoroughly test its merits, In cases of ordinary tooth- ache, from exposed nerve, it is very, good; especially for children's teeth; in oases of inflammation of the root mem- brane, it is also valuable; and unlike most remedies, the longer I use it, the better I like it. I should not now wish to be without it. CLAYTON W. WELLS, L.D.S., Waterloo, Ont. Different Surroundings. Dunstan—Is Mrs. Loudleigh the talk of the seaside as she was of the opera all winter? Peters—Oh, yes; but we don't hear her so plainly here, as the sea makes so much more noise than Wagner, you know. Dr. S. J. Andres, Beaver Hall, Mont- real, writes: "I have used 'Quickcure' for many accidents this summer. One very bad cut from a scythe, was healed in a wonderfully short time—in one week cure was complete. For burns and sores, it is really far better than any remedy I know of; it is mild and safe to use', and it makes a spleudid plaster to relieve pain where Aconite or Belladonna might be dangerous if absorbed." Excellent Reasons exist why Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil should be used by persons troubled with affections of the throat or lungs, sores upou the skin, rheumatic pain, corns, bunions, or ex- terual injuries. The reasons are, that it is speedy, pure and unobjectionable, whether taken iuterually or applied out- wardly. The Ocean's Capacity. It has been computed by geographers that if the sea were emptied of its, wa- ters, and 'all the rivers of the earth 'were to pour their present floods into the va-• cant space, allowing nothing for evapor- ation, 40,000 years would be required to bring the water of the ocean up to its present level. Dr. Chas. E. Elliott, M.D., Quebec, surgeon Queen's Own Canadian Hussars, writes: "I have used Pheno-Banum (or, 'Quickcure') with much success in many cases of foul and suppurating wounds; especially in one case following vaccina- tion, which resisted all treatment for three months, that was quickly cured, by four dressings of the above. I am Low using it in many forms of skin diseases, and ulcers with apparent benefit."
