Among those who have proved the truth of these statements is Mise Annie M. Blonski, Woodbridge, Man., who says: --"I became very weak and nervous, had pains in my stde and back and suffered from frequent sick headaches, I was hardly able to do anything about the house and .would. awake with a start at night,- with my heart pounding violently. If I walked upstairs I would be breathless and my heart would flutter''"aiapidly. I used doctor's medicine but it did not do me any permanent good. Then I• was atie v4s'ed to take- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided, to try them, and I` can only say that they did wonders for me. I am now well and strong again and able to do all my work, and . this is fill. due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.. I have recommended the pills to others who have taken them with equally good results."

Surnames •and Their Origin TAYLOR."- Variation—Parmentier. • Racial Origin—English. Source—An Occupation. -Here" are two family names: which are the sole surviving forme generally met within this country of a group which at one time embraced a great number of variations. There are tyyo'sources for the name of Taylor, and one for that of Parmen- tier. Originally the name of Taylor was dsoriptive ef the occupation of the person to whom it was applied, the calling being either that of the tailor or that of the "taseler,"- the latter'• word being now extinct, . though strangely enough the industry, or rather, process in the textile industry which it . represents, is crried on to- day by means of the same sort of thistle or burr from which the occu- pat2on took its name. The "tzii, 'tasel," "teaser' or "tassel" was used to scratch the surface of'cloth • in or- der' to produce a nap. It is still used .,to -day, though machinery, is used in the opplication. - But as family names developed the spellings of ''Taylzer" and "Tassler" became confused with the many varia- tions of Taylor, of which ."Talyer," "Taylieur and "Taillour"- were ex- kmp?es. - The "Parmentier" . was simply an- other name,•of Norman_oreigin, for the man who made clothes out of cloth, old spellings of- which were "parminter," "parmenter" and "parntitar.". There is a branch of the Clan Cameron of Scotland which uses the name of Taylor, but in the form "Mac- Man-taillear" (descendants of the 'Sailor") from :' "`Taillear-dubh-na- tuaighe" (The Black Taylor of the Axe -17th century`.

O'KANE Variations—Kane, Kean, Keane, Keen, Kyan, O:Cain, O'Calne, O'Cane, O'Canane, O'Cahaine,' O'Cahan, O'Caen, O'Chane, • O'Keanr Cane, Cain, Caine, Cahane, Cahalne, Ga- han, ,Crethan. Racial Oriflin—Irish. Source—Ghien Name. It looks like an index to- a whole encyclopedia of, family names; but it'sjust one surname, in its many variations, There are few Irish clan .,names which have given rise to so many variations of spelling, and even pronunciation, when translater into English, as that of "O'Cathain." Of all the Anglicized farms, prob- ably the -one that strikes the closest to the Gaelic pronunciation of "O'Ca- thain" is O'Cahaine or O'Cahane. But the tendency of the English trained tongue and throat is' to slur, , n on s and since it is frac sec d ,y liable of "Cathain" that is accented, most of the Anglicized versions simply slur out the •first vowel sound and the aspirate, and make one syllable of it. Whether spelled with a "0" or a "IC," or an "a" - or an "ai, the usual pronunciation is "cane" in English, though that of "keen" is not unusual; in which case, the spelling "ea" is used. As a matter of fact, however, this change of 'cane" to "keen" le a development in English of Comparatively modern times, and it was probably first pronounced in Eng- lish as "cane." • The clan is an offshoot, an ancient one, of the O'Neills, of Tyrone, found - d by a chieftain named "Cathan" (meaning "warrior") in the twelfth century.
