the Only Sensible Way to Cure
Stomach Trouble3 and Give
New Health,
When the stomach is feeble the
food lies in it, undigested, decays
and throws off poisonous gases
that distend the walls of the sto-
mach, and causes serious interfer-
ence with other organs, especial-
ly with the action of the heart and
lungs. These poisonous gases have
other ill effects. They are absorb-
ed by the blood and so weaken
and corrupt it, as to cause aches
in remote parts of the body and
the formation of unhealthy tissue
everywhere. General bodily weak-
ness and loss of weight is the re-
sult. The nerves and the brain
aro disturbed, and discomforts
such as dizziness, hot flashes,
sleeplessness, irritability and de-
spondency originate from this
source. Experience shows that
these troubles vanish just as soon
as the stomach is made strong
enough to digest the food. In
other words it needs a tonic that
will rouse it to do the work of
changing the food into nourish-
ment. The tonic ought to be ono
that will agree with the most deli-
cate stomach, and this is exactly
what 1)r. Williams' Pink Pills du.
Here is a bit of strong proof :
Miss Lizzie Macdonald, Har'bor-
au-Bouche, N. S., says: "Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have done for me
what no other medicine did or ap-
parently could do. For • almost
three years I suffered untold ag-
ony from indigestion. I would have
the most distressing pains in the
stomach after eating. I could not
sleep at night and I would rise, in
the morning feeling tired and worn
out. I lost in weight and was al-
most reduced to a shadow. I was
under doctor's treatment almost
constantly, but with no benefit.
One day I rend the testimonial of
a lady who had been cured of
dyspepsia by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and decided to try them. The
first two or three boxes I took did
not show any apparent relief and
I began to fear the medicine would
not help me, but as I had bought
ahalf dozen boxes I decided that
I would use them up anyway. To
my joy, before they were all used
1 began to improve and I got three
boxes more. By the time I finish-
ed these I was again in the best
of health, and had gained 12
pounds in weight. I have not since
had a twinge of this terrible trou-
ble, and ani more grateful than
words can say for what Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have done fur
me."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills from any medicine dealer or

boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

Seaweed is a valuable fertilizer
The Irish peasants prefer it to ma
nure, and the farmers of the Ork
ney Islands formerly let farmyard
manure. accumulate unused on ac
count of its inferiority to beaw'.r• d
as a. fertilizer.
Tho seaµced that is brought
ashore or drifts there is dried and
burned and the ashes are spread
over the land. The ashes contain
a good proportion of potash and
phosphates, and some kinds of
weed also yield nitrates. These
three substances are tho life of ve-
getation, and for this reason the
ashes of seaweed are an ideal food
for crops.
Some years ago a French sea cap-
tain attempted to organize a com-
pany to send ships to the Saragossa
sea, where they could easily col-
lect big cargoes of drift weed and
bring it to France to be burned
for the fertilizing ashes. Capital-
ists told him, however, that they
did not think it would pay to carry
the weed so far and the money was
not raised.
It is asserted by some authorities
that the great deposits of nitrate
of sodawhich aro sent from Chile
to all parts of Europe and the
United States to be spread over
the farm lands were formed by the
decay of huge masses of seaweed
when the land was sunk under the
sea. Undecomposed parts of sea-
weed, it is said, are still found
there.
The attention of the Cape Colony
'Government was recently called to
the fact that very large quantities
of seaweed are constantly being
washed ashore along the northwest
coast, and at last accounts the
Government had sent for samples
of the weed to determine its value
as a fertilizer.
Sir Humphry Davy was one of the
first to recommend seaweed as a
fertilizer about a century ago. For
generations the inhabitants of the
Channel Islands have gained a fair
living by collecting and burning
the weed and selling the ashes as
manure. These ashes are also
largely used in the British Isles
and along the Norwegian and
French coasts.
The seaweed thrown up on the
shores in the neighborhood of Cape
Town has long been regarded as
an expensive nuisance. The city
government has for years been pay-
ing teamsters to collect the stuff,
haul it away and bury it. The
amount of weed thus eF iposed of
has been about 1,500 tons a year.
The city authorities have now seen
a new light and are spree. ding the
news among the farmers that the
weed is a very valuable fertilizer.

WARSHi[''S SEARCHLiGHT.
On adark night no warship
would be safe from torpedo attack
but for the searchlight. The full
moon lights up a torpedo-boat so
that it can be fired at when nearly
a mile away. To produce the same
illumination with the most power-
ful artificial light, an electric arc
of 100.000 candle-power, placed
three-quarters of a mild high,
would be needed, if the aid of mir-
rors we're not available. But with
this light, and an ingenious as-
sents/anent of mirrors, it is possible
to surpass the moon. Searchlights
are now made which throw light
a distance of sixty-three miles; but
objects can be seen only a few miles
from the source of the light. The
effect on the enemy is most. demor-
alizing. 1Vhcn the bright beam is

Mrs. Margaret Brady Tells How
They Relieved Her of Rheuma-

Every Way.
Green's Brook, Pictou Co., N.S.,
Feb. 1st (Special). -That diseased
Kidney's are the cause of the ills
from which so many women suffer
and that they are cured completely
and permanently by Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills, is once more proved in
the case of Mrs. Margaret Brady
of this place.
"For five years," says Mrs.
Brady when interviewed regarding
her sickness and cure, "I Was ill
with Kidney and Liver complaint;
which caused Rheumatism, Neural-
gia. and Heart Flutterings. My
nervous system wa.a affected and
my blood seemed to lack vitllty.
"I tried medicines and was un-
der the doctor's care, but receiv-
ed no benefit till I used Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Diamond limner
Pills. They relieved me of ltheu-
matism and made me stronger and
better in every way. These reme-
dies and no other cured rne."
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
diseased Kidneys and all diseases
that are caused by diseased Kid-
neys or impure blood.

EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES.
Paris Lends in Number of Students
-Berlin Coulee Next.
Europe has now 125 universities,
with a total student body of 228,-
721. Next to Paris and Berlin
come in point of attendance Buda-
pest (6,551), Vienna (6,203). Mos-
cow (5,860), Madrid (5,196), Naple
j (4,918), St. Petersburg (4,652).
The cost of maintaining the nine
universities of Prussia has increas-
ed from 1860 to 1906 from $9,850,-
000 to $10,090,000, or an increase
of 313 per cent. for regular expen-
ses, says the Independent. In ad-
dition new buildings and the like
have cost a further $24,020,000,
Berlin alone requiring nearly $7,-
500,000.
Berlin is fast becoming for Ger-
many what Paris is for France, the
overwhelming centre of university
life. In addition to its 8,220 ma-
triculated students, about seven
thousand others are permitted to
attend lectures, making atotal of
only a thousand less than the re-
ports claim for Paris.
In general tho universities in the
large centres of population increas-
ingly attract the greatest number
of students in Germany. Munich
has now 5,913 full students. Leip-
sic 4,341, Bonn 3,209, while the
smaller university towns report no
corresponding growth.
Even greater is the growth of
the technological institutes. There
aro ten of these in Germany with
a total enrolment of 15,790 matri-
culated students. Through the in-
fluence of the Kaiser these schools
have now beets placed on an equal-
ity with the universities.
The woman contingent is now
2,824 in the universities, of whom
320 aro matriculated. In 1900 the
number was only 664. Naturally
Berlin leads with 771, but no Prus-
sian university will matriculate a
woman or admit her to examina-
tions. This right she has in all
but Rostock, in Mecklenberg.
The ' number of students in the
Italian universities, according to
late statistics, is 27,100, while in
1893 it was only 21,870, so that there
aro now eighty students to every
100,000 inhabitants. The greatest
increase is in the law department,
from 5,690 in 1894 to 9,424, while
rather remarkably the medical de-
partment has gone back from 6,-
621 to 4,731 during these years.
