The earlyastages of nervous debility are noted by restlessness and i:rltta- bility in vrh€cl the victims seem to be oppressed by their nerves: Ae the trouble advances, common symptoms area tired feeling; weakness in tile knees and ankles; lieade.ehes, back- aches and sleeplessness. Tho matter requires immediate attention, for noth- ing but suitable treatmeut will prevent a complete breakdown. The nervous system governs tbe 'whole body, controlling heart. -wings. digestion and brain, so that it is not surprising that nervous disturbances cause. acute distress. For troubles of this kind Dr. wmiann's Pink Pills suc- ceed when other treatment fails, for these pills make new blood, enriched with the elements on which the nerves thrive, and in this way reach the root of the trouble. Ila proof of this is the statement of Mrs, Doekerill, Strat- ford, Ont., who saysr—"My daughter, Matilda, was suffering from nervous debility, and the usual remedies did not seem to help her. I was advised by a friend to give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and coon we found they were diving leer a great deal of good. She complained of pains in the store- sob and a severe fluttering of the heart, with a general weakness. Un- der the use of these pills she con- tinued to gain, and I believe they have saved her from going into a decline." You can get these. Pills from any nledielee dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or s•ix boxes for $450 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont, Novel Method, of Exploring the Sky.

Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupation. The origin of the family name of Spicer, er kaiser, is quite obvious. To a far greater extent than we do, the medieval English used the termination "er" with the name of an article or thing to indicate the person habitually or occupationally connected with it. But while it is quite true that' the original Spacers wore merchants whn handled .spices or prepared them, you must Dot picture then to yourself as following the medieval parallel of the modern spice grinder. As a matter of faet, if family names wore being form- ed to -day the Spicens• would not adopt this name, or have it given to them by their communities. They would be called, rather, "Grocers." The spicer of medieval times really was more of a retail grocer than what we nnderetand by the term. Spicer. 1 -le did not handle,;of course, the wide and varied lines of merchandise which the modern grocer is able to offer. There were' no canned goods then. There were no bottled olives and packaged breakfast foods. And for the most part flour was bought direct from the miller. This left the specialty grocer little to handle, but goods coming un- der the general classification of spices if you interpret the word in its most liberal sense. Fresh vegetables, you. Bee, were purchased in the fanners' markets, BRAGG Racial Origin—Norse-English. Source—A given name. Here is a family name the origin of Simple Indeed..

Strained or Weak Hearts,. Since hearts differ from one another Just as their owners differ, the phrase "a normal heart" must be used in an elastic way. There is no need to go into a discussion of what people call "heart disease, which is anetiter elas- tic phrase; it is safe to say that very few persons come to the age of three= score years and ten without their quite normal hearts' doing some quite ab- normal naranal thing+s�-and ydt they are none the worse for it. The heart la a great muscular puny and works twenty-four hours a day under penalty of death it it stops for a minute, The weeder is that Most of us have so little trouble with our heart. A great many persons' wee start Life with good, strong hearts sub- ject them to some form of over -strain, the effects of w-hich= they may fear tor a long time, even for fife itself. It Iimportance it should reooive unuauai care. In, the young, strain. owing to too strenuous athletics is frequently met with, and many otherwise splen- didly equipped young men, have in- jured themselves permanently in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. At the other extreme is the flabby, weak heart, which la flabby and weak from too little exercise. In such a ease every other muscle in the body is also flabby and weak and will continue so until the sufferer changes his babits sys- whieh will fool ycu in more ways than and tones up his whole muscular o ie. 'Unconsciously you associate it in tem by means of correct exercise, Aug muscle not sufficiently exercised will your mind with our mcdei'n word "brag." Strangely enough, for in most be flabby, and anyemuscleiltoo Brom cases things do not happen to be that strainlly exercised will suffer from way, it actually 1s� associated with it. straim However, there is little indication Some hearts are• weak because tlhelr that the first bearers of the family name of Bragg had it wished upon them for being braggarts. It would be hearts rebel because their owners stuff pose -title, of course, for this latter word themselves and therefore suffer from to become shortened into Bragg in the the digestive disturbances. The cure course of time; yet it would not be is to eat less and, guided by medical likely teat the final syllable would al advice to exercise more. Often acute owners, are insufficiently or improper- ly fed. The cure, naturally, is to eat enough of the right kind of food. Some together disappear. The other explanat€on is far more logical when considered in itself, and it happens to be borne out by some available old records. Brag was• by n,o means unknown in medieval- England as a given name, though being of Daniell or Norse origin it was not so connnon as either the Norman or An- glo-Saxon names. "Brag;" ar "Braga" in the northern Teutonic nomenclature, indicated the pagan god of eloquence, and it was to be expected that in those sturdy, rough and primitive days there was a closer connection between eloquence and boastfulness than we give to these words to -day. It was not strange, that the verb "to brag" was evolved, nor that it should finally come to indicate boastfulness rather than eloquence in our modern speech. illness such as influenza will leave the heart weak for a while even after the patient Is strong in all other respects. Always remember that a heart that is weak but not diseased may with sense and patience be strengthened and that a strained heart that is not diseased may with the aid of the same moral quaiitiest be nursed back to normal.
