Cure For All Folks That Are .Weak, Ailing, Nervous, More Praise for Dr. Hamilton's PHs! "For a, period last •summer the thought of food excited feelings of nausea," writes Mrs. C. A. Dodge, of Bloomsbury. "The heat had made me listless and the distaste for food reduced me to a condition of semi -starvation and brought me th the verge of nervous collapse. Tonics were useless to restore an active desire for food. The doctors told me my liver and kidneys were both at fault, but the medicines they gave me were too severe and reduced my strength so -that I had to abandon them. At the sugges- tion -of a friend who had been cured of blood and skin trouble, I began the use of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. The difference I first noticed was, that while they cleansed the system in- stead of feeling weaker I felt better after taking them. Indeed their activity was so mild it was easy to forget I had taken them at all; they seemed to go right to the liver, and in a very brief time not only did all source of nausea disappear, but I began to crave food and I digested it reasonably well. Then I began to put on weight until within three months I was brought to a condi- tion of good health. I urge Dr. Hamilton's Pills for all who are in - poor health.'' - Get, this best Of all -medicines to- day and refuse a substitute for Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and Butternut, sold by all druggists and storekeepers, 25c. per box or five for $1,00.

Sir Richard had undoubted abil- ity, and a turn of the wheel of fortune might at more than one stage in his ca- reer have made him Premier of Canada. Doubtless he would have made a judici- ous Prime Minister, but in that case he would have scarcely left uo his delight- ful reminiscences. 140 (lift for Toronto, Sir James Whitney, has replied in char. acteristic fashion to the request of the city of Toronto that the Normal School grounds should be turned over to the city as a civM park. The Square is worth probably a million dollars now, though it was originally purchased by the Gov- ernment for a few thousand. The argu- ment that the itICTODAS Should be handed over to the city becauseit was the eity's growth that gave it the increased value IS knockedinto a cocked hat by the Pre- mier, who points out that "the Province as a whole has been unquestionably the chief factor in the increased values of property and of the great increase of wealth in the city." The Premier dictated his reply, but it was not delivered until he was on tbe middle of the Atlantic on his wa3r to England, where he and Dr. Pyne are spending a flying visit preparatory to the session. The efinister of Education is one of Bir. James' strongest personal friends, dating from long before Sir James was called to the Premiership. They are both fond of art ocean trip and will no doubt manage to get some enjoyment out of it even during the chill days of December. Toronto's Harbor Plans. No proposed civic improvOment has ever created inore, perhaps not as much, en- tliusiasm as has the pittns of the Veoent- lY appointed Harbor, Commission. They call for a total expenditure of $19,000.000eof which $6,000,000.is to'be contributed by the Dominion Government; and most ;of the vest will be raised by the Conimission it- self by the eele of bonds on wiiiob the 'interest will be paid by .revenues from docks and rentals.
