DIZZY SPELLS AND

Feii of a Run -clown System and Exhausted Nerves—Strsngth
Comes With the Use of Dr. Chase's
To many people peculiar spells of
dizziness and weakness are a source
of almost daily annoyance and dis-
tress. Some see flashes of light be-
fore them, and become blind and
dazzled ; others experience severe
attacks of headache. The cause is
exhaustion of the nervous system
and deficiency in the quality and.
quantity of blood. • In all such cases.
Dr. Chase'S Nerve Food is the most
certain as Well as the most thorough
cure obtainable. .
Mrs. Symons, 42 St. Clair street,
Belleville, Ont., states : "Some
weeks ago I began a. course of treat -
merit with Dr. Chase't Nerve Food,
and found it a very satisfactory
.needieine. I was formerly troubled
with nervous exhaustion and a weak,
fluttering heart. Whenever my heart
bothered me I would have spells of
weakness and dizziness, which were
very distressing. By means of this
treatment my nerves have become
strong, and the action of my heart
seerae to be regular. X can recona-
xneed Q. Chase's Nerve Food as an
excellent raedleine."
Mrs. James Clancy, 714 Water
eteeet, Petsrhorougle, Oat, slates
Nerve Food.
"X have used four boxes of Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food, and found
them an exeellent medicine. I was
troubled more or less for nineteen
years with severe headaches, eihich
made me useless as far as accom-
plishing my work was concerned.
"The Nerve Food seemed to build
nee up generally, and so made a
thorough cure of my old trouble. I
would not think of being without
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food in the
house, and would strongly meow. -
mend anyone suffering as I did to
giVe it a trial. It succeeded in my
case after a great many remedies
had failed.'
To the thousands of Women who
are victims of nervous headache
this Rater should prove of inestim-
able arable. If they wilt bat follow
the advice of Mrs. Clanc they can
be certain of great and lasting
benefit.

to the breaking of the gang and the

the taint of an old scent, left by
your friend Zavertal there, for the
lucky chance. You made a false
step, Mr. Vizard—to call you by
your last known name—when you
allied yourself with a gentleman of
such a nototioes record,"
It will be remembered that Vizard
had never seen Kennard in his own
character, and he had excellent rea-
sons for not suspecting his identity.
The stranger's taunt stung him loto
ettrioeity. "Who is this fellow?"
he ground out between his clenched

"It is ICennard; you must have

comment, imurm.ured in tones that
had changed to the quiet chagrin, of

take the prisoners to the place that
had been prepared for them, he gave
no trouble.
iT shall always believe that this

of his subtle brain, working towards
some fresh scheme for revenge, lib-

THE END Or A TIGItESS.
Thrtliing Adventure While Hunting
in India.
Airs. Dounett. tbe young wife of
an English army officer on service in
India, had a thrilling adventure
while buntiug big game with her
husband in the Chanda Jungle. The
story 'here quoted is taken from one
of her letters to a friend.
-Word was brought to camp, the
lady writes, that a tigress had kill-
ed a cow and made an attempt on
it man's life. We were to the scene
at once and took up our places, and
the bout hud just begun when I
beard roar after roar.
thought the tigresswas going
to Timmins (Mrs. Dounett's hus-
band), and was rejoicing, for the
poor old boy bas had no luck, while
mine has'been the lucky gun of the
camp.
Suddenly, with no warning, out
she jumped about ten yards from
me, and sbe did look a picture of
fury as she stood lashing her tail
and snarling. It was too easy a
shot to be really easy; also, having
a huge creature all but breathing in
my face seemed. to mesmerize me, in
a evay, and 1 felt myself trembling
all over and unable tie move any
eyes from her hard green ones. But
I fired and she made a grand
spring into „a clump of bamboos and
was lost to sight. She never utter-
ed a sound.
When the coast seemed clear I blew
my whistle eethe others came up and
we found fresh drops of blood. Tho
grasses and bamboos were smeared
with blood about a foot from the
ground, which showed I had hit, her
low itt the stomach.
Well, we formed a lino and, inch
by inch, advanced into the jungle,
with a man always ahead.
We were just thinking she must be
dead—we had gone about one hun-
dred and fifty yards—when a man in.
a tree yelled out, ”Zira gissy
which means, "She is Charging."
In an instant every one was trying
to save himself. It looked like a
shipwreck with desperate people
clinging to branches. I climbed a
small bamboo . which played seesaw
with me between earth and sky.
Timmins could not gain a climbable
tree, so he got -behind one and was
ready to shoot for his life.
The tigress gave a roar and charg-
ed past' aed out by our right flank,
and did not hurt anyone. When all
was quiet again we crawled out, but
as it was (lark we made, for camp
and left her in the jungle. The next
clay a search -party went out and
found her dead about thirty yards
off. 1 had wounded her mortally

CURING /TAWS.
Our excellent contemporary. the
Practical Farmer. on the subject of
hams, sums up the matter thus:
"We prefer a 'well -mired ham that
has been allowed to simmer half
the morning, and is then taken out
and skinned, an'd the fat coated over
wilt white sugar and then pineed itt
a pan and put in the oven and well
baked. A well -cured ham, not less
than a year old, cooked in 'Ulla way,
is a dish for an epicure.
But no matter what the cueing, tt
bans is never at Its best till it year
old. Just at present the Celebrat-
ed bares made In southwest Vir-
ginia are selling at twenty-ilve to
thirty cents a pound, while at the
first store the product of the pack-
ers is selling for sixteen cents. The
difference is mainly that the one
was properly cured, not embabeed,
and has gotten age enough to be
firm.
The packers' hams are not smoked,
though they -look liko it, hut are
dipped in a tank of creosote mix-
ture Some people have gotten, a
notion that Smoking is not needed
itt the making of ham, but. that cur-
ing. and drying are all that is neces-
sary; but to our taste a hiun is .net
a ham till- well smoked.
Our practice is, to make a brine
strong enough to pop an egg, and
to it add one ounce of saltpeter for
100 pounds of meat, and alsoat pint'
bf black molasses. The meat stays
in Oita brine ,four days, and it is
then poured oft and boiled; all that
comes tothe surface is skinned off,
and, .when it is cold it is returned
to the raeat, and if not enough te
cover it new brine is boiled and
added. The hams and shoulders ate
put in one Ca$1`.- and the thin piece&
in another.
We formerly let the hams remaie
for six weeks, but find that foul
weeks is long enough and two weekt
for the rest. They ere then tafkel
