Exeter Advocate, 1912-9-5, Page 3NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Usually Due to Overwork and Worry --A Tonic is Deeded Overwork and worry give rise to nervousness, sleeplessness, head- aches, laek of ambition and lack of interest in your work, weak back, indigestion and sometimes' a com- a— piete breakdown of the nervous system. On every hand' you find victims of this kind and often they do not know 'what to do for them- selves. If these are your symp- toms you need -a tonic, and the only way to tone up the nerves is through. the blued.` Dr. Williams' Pink, Pills are a direct nerve tonic because they enrich' and build up. the blood, and it is through the blood that the nerves are fed. Under their tonic influence nery ousness, with all its attendant. evils, disappear, and the worried sufferer again enjoys health and strength. Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in nerv- ous troubles is given by Mrs;. Lara Scheving, Lundar, Man,, who says :—"I was attacked with nerv- ous trouble which almost drove me to distraction. It would be almost impossible' for words to describe my condition. The least thing would startle me and leave me trembling for an hour. I had nervous head aches, and slept very badly at nights, some'nights not at all, My appetite grew peer, and 1 was real- ly a physical wreck. I had been to several doctors and had taken many different medicines, but with- out any 'benefit. Then I read of a case siniila.r cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I sent for; a dozen boxes, fully believ- ing it would 'take at least est that many tai cure me. You can judge of my gratitude, however, when I. found that after using only half a. dozen boxes I was again enjoying the best of health, and ,have sinced remained well and strong, 1 used the remainder of the pills among my children when they seemed" out of sorts, and liavo found them at all: times to be the very best _Qf family medicines.'" You can get Dr, Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medi- cine or by snail at 50 -cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. MEETING OF RAI -CATCHERS. Famous 'Vermin Exterminators Have Picnic in ;Enelaud. The „rat-catchers of -the world matte merry recently on the village green of Padworth, near Reading, England. For a few moments Londoners had an opportunity of seeing the followers of this ancient art, for they assembledin an office in Southwark 'Street. on whose doors printed words proclaimed doom to the rat. It was a suitable meeting place, for this ofiec was the domain of Mr. Phillips, the rat king, who, possi- bly, has slain more rats than any man living. There was. Piker, of Birmingham, famous't* throu bout the Midlands dland • s i a worthy slayer of vermin. There was The Snoozes`, of Liverpool, and. Slasher, of Buenos Aires, whose kindly face gave no suggestion of a man who ,delights in slaughter. There were other huntsmen, too, from all corners of ,the kingdom— men whose quarry is to be found in the under -world, who go to ,the meet in sober raiment, sportsmen who scorn pink, though they be heroes of many an exeiting chase.

MAN OF MANY SUPPERS.. Court Ball ; Comedy of a Small Ger man Capital. An amusing story of an incident at a masked ball given at the capi- tal of one of the smaller German principalities is being told in Ber- lin, writes the Berlin correspondent of the London Daily Mail, In: one of the rooms of the. court a buffet had been set out, and the attendants there soon came to re- mark the unusually active appetite of one guest, duly masked and cloaked, who consumed' extraordi- narily large quantities of the more expensive delicacies and wines. After several minutes of vigorous eating he would leave the buffet and disappear among the throng of dancers. Soon, however, he would behack 2ok again, his appetite appar- ently as strong as ever. After the fourth visit at short in- tervals of this hungry guest the head waiter called the attention of the master .of ceremonies, who wait- ed, ait-ed, at the buffet until the masked stranger once more returned, He was again served with ,a full sup- ply ,of food and wine, and as he turned away was politely asked to show his invitation card. At this some confusion was no- ticed in his bearing, and the master of ceremonies requested, himto re- move his mask and cloak, To the astonishment, of the servants and the amusement of the guests there was revealed the :shamefaced figure of one of the soldiers of the guard on duty in the hall below. The guards had found a spare domino Iying in the hall and they had been putting it on one after the other during the evening, so as to be able, to go boldly into the ballrooms and eat their fill at the buffet unchal- lenged. So amused at the story was the Grand Duke that, he refused to al- low the greedy soldiers to be pun- ished. THIRTEEN YEARS. Unlucky; Number for Dakota \Volnan. The question whether the num- ber "13" is really more unlucky than any other number has never been entirely settled. A.`So. Dakota woman, after thir- teen years of misery from drinking coffee, found a way to break the "unlucky spell." Tea is just as in- jurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the drug in coffee. She writes: "For thirteen years I have been a nervous wreck from drinking cof- fee. My liver, stomach, heart—in fact, my whale system being actu- ally poisoned by it. "Last year I was confined to my bed for six months. Finally it dawned on me that coffee caused the trouble. Then I began using Postum instead of coffee, but with little faith, as my mind was in such a condition that I hardly knew what to do next. "Extreme nervoueiiess and fail- ing eyesight caused me to lose all courage. In about two weeks after I quit coffee and began to use Pos- tum, I was able to read and my head felt clear. I am improving all the time and I will be a strong, well woman yet. "I have fooled more than one person with a delicious cup' of. Pos- tum. Mrs. S. wanted to know where I bought my fine coffee. 1 told her my grocer had it and when she found out it^was Postum she has used it ever since, and her nerves are building up fine. "My brain is Strong, my nerves stead- my appetite good, and hest of all, I enjoy such sound, pleasant Sleep.." Name given by Canadian Pbstum Co., Windsor, Ont.

The hotel that stands out most distinctly in tourists'.recollection is, one in' Iquique, where, even while you are sitting at the dining -tables; vendors come in from the streets to sell you food. At this same hotel they have two charges for baths two dollars if you insist upon clean, water,, and about one dollar if you are willing to take a'seeond turn at the tub. Another instance of a quaint hotel is the town of Africa,' in Peru. Here they are using at the present time the hull of an old American man-of-war, which was. taken inland by a great tidal wave many years ago, and has since been fitted up as an hotel, and"is in great demeans 1 The lack' lia,ttle'°on.

Europe Preparations Made From L*It Ellen I secsts are i3setl. Among the last of the remedies provocative of nausea of the imagi- nation to disappear from the list' of official remedies have begin pre- parations made from ants. Such preparations, however, have not obtained much recognition in this country, even among the wise old women in domestic practice— though in parts of Europe they aro yet in use, Ant baths, made by', boiling ants in water, are yet in use by Bavarian peasants for rheu- matin and gout, and also in Hes- sen and Hungary. Bohemia, it is' said, for paralysis of the lower, limbs patients are placed in an ant- hill and,allowed to remain until the while body is covered with, the in- sects, which are then shaken off, when the cure is effeeted.

Impoverishment of blood is cured by means of an egg buried in the hill of the large red ants. The egg must have been laid by a pure white or black hen, and must have been found when still warm. 'In Oberwalz the crushed eggs and lar- vae of ants ,stirred up with cream are used as a remedy for polio. A salve made from wood antsy dog fat and coal dun, is ,said to be used by Hungarian gypsies against goitre.' There is in use in Montenegro, the "ant suture" in domestic surgery. Those who had been bitten by ants had noticed that the heads remain- ed clinging to the skin when the body was torn away, being held in place by the powerful mandibles.. The 'idea was thus suggested that the ants' jaws could be used to close' the edges of wounds. The edges of the cut are pressed toge- ther, an ant is held so that its jaws will grasp both sides and its .body is cut off. Several are applied along the wound and serve instead of the usual catgut .stitches. You can't offend a homely wo- man'. by telling her she isn't. "I often spend the entire night in my library."

Mines of wood are found in the south of Russia, where they were discovered very recently when the bed of a river was dragged, Not very deep in the earth but eovering au extent of 20Q egivare kilometers a forest of oaks was found where, it had been buried by some unknown cataclysm centuries ago. The wood is in perfect preservation, The,. man who found the entombed forest has drawn from his mine many trunks of trees measuring from for- ty to sixty meters high and at least eighteen inches in diameter. The mine is worth a fortune, for. the weod is of the first quality and as a result of its long rest underground it has taken the most varied colors, ranging from dark brown to pale rose and running through all the shades of blue and yellow.. One hundred aztd= fifty thousand of the ancient oaks have been turned over to the cabinet makers, It is .

Under ordinary cireumstances if a German picks up - asealed letter on the street he must return it to the post -office or to the addressee without opening it,. Lifekily this rule was disregarded by an inhabitant—of Crossen-on- Oder, who .picking up e. letter,. opened it, and found that it was a communication from: the wife of a svoollen manufacturer, Robert Witzker, who informed a school teacher recently transferred to Crosson that she had eompleted ar- rangements for poisoning .her hus- band and marrying the school teacher. The incriminating letter was handed to the police, who kept a sharp watch upon Frau Witzker. A few days .sufficed to produe(.. evidence that the letter was genu- ine. Quantities of poison of various kinds were found in receptacles be- longing to her, and kept in her father's house. She and the teaeb-' er were arrested, presumably just in time to prevent the murder. Always Servieeable,Most pills Rise their properties with. age. Not so with Parmelee's Vegetable Pills.
