Exeter Advocate, 1906-8-2, Page 7DISEASED KIDNEYS. Made Sound and Strong Through Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. "Twqdoctors told me that 1 was in- .durable, but thanks to. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I ant a well woman to -day." This strong statement wad made fay Mrs. Ed. Bose, of St. Catharines, to a reporter, who ` hearing of her remark- able euro called to see her. "A few years .ago while living in Hamilton;' continued Mrs. Bose, "I was attacked with kidney trouble. The doctor lulled me into a state of false security, while the disease continued to make inroads. Finding that I was not getting better, 1 consulted a specialist, who told me that the trouble had developed into Bright's 4 disease and that I was incurable. 1 had dwindled to a mere shadow, and suffered from pain in the back, and often a difficulty in breathing. Insom- nia next came to add to my tortures and I passed dreary, sleepless, nights, and felt that I had not long to Sive. In ,this dispairing condition my husband urged me to. try Dr. Williams' Flak Pills, and to please him I began to take there. After using several boxes I felt the pills were 'helping me and i contin- ued taking them until I had used some twenty boxes, when I was 'again restor- ed to perfect health, and every symp- tom of the trouble had disappeared, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills certainly brought me back from ^ the shadow of the grave, and I have 'since enjoyed the best of health." "Every drop of blood in the 'body ie filtered by the kidneys. If the blood Is weak or watery the.kidneys have no, strength for their work and leave the blood unfiltered and foal. Then the kid. neys get clogged with painful, poison- ous impurities, which brings aching. backs and deadly Bright's disease. The only hope is to strike without delay at. the root of the trouble in the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They make new blood. They flush the kidneys clean, heal their inflammation and give them strength for their work. Common kidney pills only touch the symptoms —Dr. Williams' 1 0.'115 Pinlc Pills tura the cause.

The Sun's Bays of One Particular Lati- tude is the Cause of It. • The origin of color in anything has always provided scientists with an inter- esting study—the origin of color in hu- man skin in particular. There are between the cuticles of the skin certain pigments which, when act- ed upon by light rays, produce different tints. What those tints will be depends upon the angle at which the rays of the sfall upon the pigments. : At the gunator the rays are about vertical; at poles they slant at an angle : un- known in the tropics, and the chemical effects of the different kinds of rays up- on the pigments of the skin vary con- siderably. Thus we get a large number of tints of the skin, from the white to the, yellow, yellow to red, and red to black, many intermediate shades being peculiar to certain latitudes, The pigments themselves change through generations of exposure to the sun -rays of one particular latitude, so that the skin of a child assumes the col- or, slightly modified of its ancestors, even when the child has been borne and reared in a strange part of the world. Thus, if a colony of negroes and ne- presses settled in Britain, their descen- dants would become paler with each generation, until eventually there would be no trace whatever of. the original color. Whites settling in the tropics would be affected in a similar way, the color gradually deepening .with each ge:a- eration. TAKING HER. PHOTO. "I have come to get my wife photo- graphed," Said the determined -looking plan on entering a photographer's studio, - followed by a meek -looking woman. "You can make anyone look hand- aome, can't you ?" "Certainly, sir, replied the photo- grapher, "that is part of the business, yap know." "Well, my wife here fell out of the window last year and broke her nose. Du can straighten -if out in the photo- graph, I suppose?" ':'Certainly, sir." 'And you can push back her ears, so that she won't look so much like a rabbit ?" "Oh, I think so in "And what about the 'cast in her left eye?" "Oh, .

Sir Marry Johnston's Message of Eight 1VOfds -- The Cleverest Despatch. Surely no more laconic order 4ould be given for any matter of world-wide magnitude than that which was given to Stanley when Mr. Gordon -Bennett, t f the "New York Herald," despatched flim on his famous quest with the simple words, "Find Livingstone!" There was really no more to be said by the mas- ter to his servant, when the two so thor- oughly understood each other. The questions of money, equipment, prepara- tion, time, etc., were all left without discussion. Stanley's orders were clear. "Find Livingstone!" He set out, and he returned not until he had found the ce- lebrated explorer who had been lost to civilization fox' so long. Some of us remember the despatch of Sir Harry Johnston who is happily still with us—which be forwarded to Lord Salisbury, This is certainly the record one of our own times in such matters. JOHNSTON'S MESSAGE of his suppression of slavery was in eight words, as follows: "Advanced against Tmose, defeated, captured, hanged him,—Johnston." It will take a great deal . to beat this. But then, Johnston was always one of those men who did the work first, and then said as little as possible about it afterwards. It has often been said that Sir Charles Napier, after the capture of Scinde, wrote one of the most laconic and most delightful despatches that the world has known, when he telegraphed home to the Government the 'simple Latin word, "Peccavil"i.e., "I have sinned (Scinde)l" But here gossip has placed the foundation ndation remark of of the laconic r al on the wrong preson, for, es a matter of fact, it was not Sir Charles Napier who composed that famous despatch, , but Mr. "Punch,'.- who wrote as a jest. Nevertheless,r it remains as an`ext emei clever and elling piece of work of the kind we are dealing with. In this category, too, we must in- clude Thomas Carlyle's notable reply to s devoted admirer, who wrote asking if THE SAGE OF CHELSEA had any objection to sending on his au- tograph as a present, to the said admir- er. Carlyle was equal to the occasion. He just wrote down on a sheet of note- paper the words. "Yes! Yours truly, T. Carlyle." It was left for the admirer to decipher the meaning at Ms will, but doubtless he was satisfied when he saw the signature, whatever the writer meant him to understand. To describe a great naval battle in about a score of words fs surely given to few famous combatants. Yet this is what Captain. Walton did when he had scattered the Spanish fleet near the Straits of Messina. His despatch to the British Government . was as follows: "Have taken or destroyed all Spanish vessels which were upon the coast; num- her and description as per margin.—G, Walton.". There is a whole page of naval war- fare sometimes in a daily newspaper, af- ter a battle such as that which Togo recently fought, which, notwithstanding, does not tell one-half so much of what was the actual result of the fight as this laconic statement of Captain Walton's does about the battle off Messina. DR. ABERNETHY. was another famous man who never wasted words. A woman of title once came to see him, who prided herself up- on her blunt speech to So deemed ins feriors. She regarded she doctor with some hauteur because he did not rise and make a great, fuss of her when she entered his surgery. She was so dis- gusted that she just held out her scalded hand, and said. "Burnt it!" The great surgeon was quite equal to the occasion. He looked her in the face and answered "Poultice, it!" -then at once resumed his wri ting. One of the cleverest. of all such replies matte laconically, however, was that of the celebrated Talleyrand, who was asked, as he left a certain French Coun- cil, from which much had been expect- ed, but which had spent most of its time in tails, what had passed during its sitting. His quiet smile and his hopeless tone were as significant as his two words. "Three hours!" said he.- London Answers. •The Crick in the Back.—"One touch of nature makes the. whole world kin," sings the poet.

For the last twenty years of Professor Finsen's life he suffered from painful diseases, against which, however, he herocially struggled until he discovered the precious light cure for lupus. Pro- fessor R. Green, the English historian who wrote the famous "Short Flistory of the English People," was on his death- bed before he started the book. His doctors told him that he could not hone to live more than six months, but he set to work upon his cherished history, and penned every line of it in ceaseless pain. General Grant, once President of the United States, was 'made bankrupt through the failure of a. bank. Fearful of dying and leaving his widow .penni- less, he at once began the writing of the story of his own stirring career. While doing this he was stricken with a fur- ther misfortune --a cancer formed at the root of his tongue. Day after day, how- ever, the gallant general stuck to his task, and completed the book within a year. He died almost immediately af- terwards, but his widow was not left destitute. Her husband's book realized 8500,000. Much of the best work of Sir Walter Scott, R. L. Stevenson, Edna Lyall, Clark Bussell, and Sir Arthur Sullivan was also produced during days of agony of body or of mind. A stubborn fountain pen has inter- rupted many a man's flow of thought.
