Misery in Back, Headache and Pain in Limbs. Dear Mr. Editor—For more than n year I suffered with misery in the back, dull headache, pain in the limbs, was somewhat constipated and slept poorly at night until I was about ready to col- lapse. Seeing an account of the won- derful qualities of "Anuric," prepared by Doctor Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., I sent for a box, and before using the whole box I felt and still feel improved. .. My sleep is refreshing, misery reduced, and life is not the drag it was before. most cheerfully recommend this remedy to sufferers from like ailments. Yours truly, W. A. RosEETS. BULGARIA FAIL BACK Serbs Use City of Monastir as; New Base. Who Capital of Serbian . *acedonia is Now Firmly Held by King Peter's Troops, the Germans Having Left Their Allies in the Lurch at the Critical Moment, LONDON, N&v. Us—The defeated Bulgar army is retreating north of Monastir in confusion.. Following close on their heels Serbian and French infantry and cavalry are pressing forward swiftly toward Prilep. The Serbs on the ridges east of Monastir smashed ahead at daybreak Sunday, and in the same hour that the Serbian colors were tieing raised over King Peter's new capital, they drove the enemy out of Makaovo, fourteen miles northeast of the city. Using Monastir as the hub of a great wheel that purposes to encircle the whole lower region of Serbia, the Frerteh. and Serbs reached out long spokes of steel to the north and north-east of the city. Directly north of the new capital one column of troops carried the village of Kirk- lina and Hill 821, To the east of these positions another detachment drove forward to the outskirts of Oriaar and I1araman, respectively, two and our miles northeast of Monastir, Still other treops columns pushed northwest from Jaratok, on the edge of the Monastir Plain, and swarmed izltq several lines of Bulgar trenches near Dobromir, six miles from the city. Thus the advance on Prilep • and the new Bulger line of de- fence is being pressed with the swfltness and power that marked the final dash for Monaster, Thus Monastir has fallen before a brilliant series of operations, The news is received here with satisfacs tion, for it is recognized that it was for Monastir and its surrounding district that King Ferdinand of Bul- garia went to war, and it is also noted that during a period of extreme gravity his allies have left him in the lureh and employed his troops against Roumania to the weakening of the forces confronting the Allies north of Salonica, The German engineers had forti- fied Monastir with the utmost ingen- uity. It was covered from the south by several stretches of marshes, in- terspersed with little rivers, and the Bulgarians were informed that the town was made impregnable. Per- haps it was impregnable to a frontal assault, but, advancing northward from Fieriest in the direction of the. Vardar defiles, the Serbians succeed- ed after a period of quietness in striking a surprise blow. This had the effect of utterly disorganizing the Bulgarian defence, and they have been so far unable to recover from their defeat. The Serbians have also made progress east of the Cerna River, where they recently cleared the mountainous region of their foes, and they have encircled Grunishte. . NOTE : You've all undoubtedly heard of the famous Dr. Pierce and his well- known medicines. Well, this prescrip- tion is one that has been successfully used for many years by the physicians and specialists of Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., for kidney complaints, and dis- eases arising from disorders of the kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con- gestion of the kidneys, inflammation of the bladder, scalding urine, and 'urinary troubles. Up' to this time, "Anuric" has not been on sale to the public, but by the persuasion of many patients and the increased demandfor this wonderful healing Tablet, Dr. Pierce has finally decided -to put it into the drug stores of this country within immediate reach of all sufferers. I know of one or two leading drug - 'gists in town who have managed to '> procure a supply of «Anurio" for their anxious customers in and around this - locality. If' root obtainable' send one =° gibe '<.by' nisei' 'to Dr. Pierce for trial package or 50 cents for full treatment. Enrron-Please insert this letter"in' some conspicuous place in your paper. Deserter Was Shot. SARNIA, Nov. 21.—Pte. Robert Finnegan, 140th Battalion, was com- mitted Saturday at Forest for trial at the next court of competent juris- diction in Sarnia when he appeared before Police Magistrate Jones charged with shooting Pte. Moses Wolfe, an Indian deserter of the bat- talion, at Kettle Point Indian Re- serve on November 7th, where he had been sent from London to apprehend the Indian. According to the evi- dence of the prosecution, Finnegan, with another soldier, had arrived at the home of Wolfe, and had talked with him for upwards of an hour and a half. Then when the Indian still failed to consent to return with them Finnegan pulled a revolver, at which the Indian became frightened and made a break for the bush. Finne- gan shot at him, the bullet entering his shoulder, but not being sufficient to stop his flight. Wolfe came back to his home that night, and later laid complaint against Finnegan. A contention that the Forest court had no jurisdiction in the case was made at the start, but this was overruled by the court. Sugar Cards in Paris. PARIS, Nov. 21.—The issue of sugar cards for the suburbs of Paris is under consideration by the author- ities. At Neuilly the municipality has even taken the precaution to have a quantity of cards printed in readi- ness. The scarcity of -sugar is dos notmuch so uc to theeach- of stocks as to s to the difficulties of distribution. The delivery waggons and horses of most wholesalers and retailers have been requisitioned for the army and there is also: a certain amount ofhoarding by private persons. The Grocers' As- sociation has, however, obtained the loan of five large automobile lorries daily from the army, which ate do- ing much to improve the situation. Bulgers Disregard Orders. LONDON, Nov. 21.—The Chron- icle's special correspondent with the Serbian army, First Army .Headgear - ten', Nov. 12.-1 was present to -day at the cross-examination of two Ger- man cfficers,captured yesterdayeThey stated that their battery was captur- ed _because the Bulgarian infantry in front of them stampeded and the bat- tery was rushed by the Serbs so sud- denly that they, had no time to de- stroy the breech blocks of the guns. They complained of the Bulgars, who never await orders either to retire or to attack, and no reliance an therefore be placed on them by the Germans: Allied War Conference.

LONDON, -Nov, 21. --It is believed that the Germans are attempting a. cavalry raid into Roumania for its political •effect, as an offset to the successes of the Allies in Macedonia, culminating in the capture of Mon - astir. It was claimed in Berlin that German forces were approaching Craton, 120 miles west of Buchar- est, on the railway leading to Orsova, If this is true, it is probably a small band of cavalry and the Allies are taking measures to cut it off, The Russians admit that the Roumanians attacked the enemy in the region of Dragoslavele, north of Kimpolung, but they did not sues ceed in driving their assaults. In the Alt Valley, Red Tower Pass region, the Roumanians have repulsed the German attacks, but in the region of the Jiul Valley, the progress of the Teutons is as yet unchecked. It is believed here that the success of the Allis north of • Salonica, and their vigorous advance upon Prilep, will eomel the Germans to divert. forces from the Danube to replace and to stiffen the defeated Bulgar- ians and that when this is done the pressure on Roumania will be re - In the Dobrudja the situation is quiet and unchanged. MINISTERS MUST DEPART. Allies Order Teuton Represent:ises to Leave Greece. LONDON, Nov. 21.-4 neuter de- spatch irorn Athens, daid Sunday, says the situation in Green is of the gravest importance. "The nature of the AMNIA demands, formulated Saturday, see tiros corre- spondent, is concealed, tat it is in- ferred that they took the farm of an ultimatum, expiring to-aeorrew," Reuter's Athens eor pondent, under date of Nov. 20, tai's that Vices Admiral Dufournet has notified the Austrian, German, Bulgarian, and Turkish ministers to Greece that they must go aboard a steamer which has been placed at their disposal, other- wise they will be taken forcibly.. The American legation, the corre- spondent adds, has undertaken the protection of the Austrians, Turks and Bulgarians in Greece, while the Spanish legation will take charge of German interests. Another Athens despatch, under date of Nov. 17, says: "A royal decree, issued to -day, ac- cepts the resignations of the officers of the Greek army who desire to join the provisional government at Saloni- ea, and orders their liberation from Syngros prison, where they have been confined on charges of desertion from the Greek army." Eskimos Are Dangerous. NEW YORK, Nov., 21.—Fears that blond Eskimos may prove a menace to his expedition are expressed by Vilhpalmur Stefansson, tele explorer, in a letter written from Cape Kellett, Banks Island, in the Arotrtc. Stef- ansson wrote in part: "We have bad a fallieg out with the blond Eskimo which is exceeding- ly unfortunate, I sent the captain of the Polar Bear to them and he treat- ed them as if they were oi;vilized and knew we are a superior order of be- ings to them. They did not know it and would not act on that basis. Little led to more, ending with their stripping the captain's party of all they had, down to their drinking cups and plates. "To make matters tenfold worse, they got a severe cold (influenza, or whatever you call it), and the last we knew they were on the verge of starvation because illness had pre- vented hunting. This we learned from two men who came to see us from Ramsay Island. Others_ were afraid to come. They believed we gave them influenza by witchcraft, and prayed us, by deputation, to re- move the epidemic. Should death occur either from disease or starva- tion, the brerk with them will be serious. For the present, they pro- fess great friedliness for me person- ally." , Brussels Council Arrested. LONDON, Nov. 21.—A despatch to The Daily News from Rotterdam says: "The entire Brussels city council, with the aldermen, were arrested on the 17th for refusing to surrender lists of the city's unemployed. They were released after 24 hours, when it was found that the lists had been taken by the Germans. "As far as is known at Rotterdam, no deportations from Brussels had occurred as late as Sunday. 1711E CANADIAN BA. K OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C,V.O., J.L.D., D,C.L,.
