A chilblain is a painful inflam- matory swelling of a florid, deep purple or leaden color, that appears on the fingers, toes, heels, and other extreme parts of the body. The pain is sometimes intermittent, but as a rule the most annoying character- istic is an obstinate irritation. The effected part swells, and ulceration frequently follows. Chilblains are most common in children and. older persons of relaxed fibres, and the common existing came Is expdsure to severe cold. Many people -who are predisposed to chilblains might ward them off or lessen their severity by defending the parts from external cold, and also by resorting to fric- tion at frequent intervals. The only ours le a stimulant treatment in the Inflamed or unbroken stage. Salicylic vaseline, for example, should be rub- bed in daily and perseveringly, the part being at the saute time protect- ed from the external air. A good lotion is composed of one ounce of camphorated spirits of wine, and half an ounce of pure Golder le extract. When chilblains beeome broken, thee is ulcerated, they should be dressed with the following: two ounces each of honey and common turpentine, and mix with enough fine flour to give it the consistency of a cerate.

Behind the veil of her modesty and silent patience nearly every woman endures suffering that casts a hadow over half be existence. An aching back, tired limbs, attacks of faintness, and, headache upon headache need not be part of a woman's life. Such trials Indicate plainly that the system re- quires the new blood that is supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills are valued by suffering women, who • have used them, about all other recoil - eines, because they make the rich, red blood that makes women well, bright and at their best. This is the secret of the great success of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Cleo. C. Wadden, Wadden's Cove, N. S., says: "A few years ago I was completely run down. Al times I would be so weak that I was unable to do ray housework. I suffered from severe headaches, pains in the back and dizziness, and at times I felt as though life was scarcely worth living. I had tried several medicines without getting relief, when I finally decided to give Dr. WilliamsPink Pills a trial. After using two or three boxes I noticed a. change, and after taking the Pills about two months I was again enjoying good health, and have since been well and strong. I can confidently recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all weak and rundown women."

Piles are caused by distension of the hemorr- hoid veins, and the tissue becomes high- ly inflamed, dry and sere. Sam-Bitk cools and soothes the inflamed tissue and the healing essences in Zam-Buk penetrate the diseased parts, giving ease quickly and eventually curing the meet obstinate case of piles. Mr. George Harris, of Virden, Man., says: "I suffered accutely from piles, but I am glad to say Zain-Buk gave me ease and brought about ultimate cure," • Mra. 5, Cooke, 448 Pacific avenue, Winnipeg, says: "A month ago I was cured by Zam-Buk of a bad attack of bleeding piles, to which I had been sub- ject for a long time" Mr William Keay, of Upper Nine Mile Itiver, Hants Co, X 5, says: "I suf- fered terribly from piles The pain from these was at times almost unbearable I tried various ointments, but every- thing failed to do me the slightest good. was tired of trying various remedies, when I heard of Zara-Buk, but thought, as a last resource, T would give this balm a trial. I proured a supply and commenced with the treatment, In a very short time Zatn-Buk effected what all the other ointments and medicines had failed' to do—a complete cure."

A remarkable story of an attack by a wild animal has reached this city from Pines Alto. a mining tamp north of here. While Mr. and Mrs. J, la Camp- bell, an aged couple, were sitting in their home about noon a wildcat emerge from a nearby thicket, dashed 'through the open door and attacked the woman. Mrs. Campbell, who is nearly blind, was terribly clawed and scratched by the ferocious beast before it could be beaten off, It was finally driven under the bed, and when it emerged to renew the attack, Mr. Campbell, who had hastily ecured his rifle, put a, bullet through its body. Mrs. Campbell was so badly injured that it was found necessary to place her In the Ladies' Hospital of this city, where she is receiving medical treat- ment. It is very unusual for a wildcat to attack a person unless cornered, and the remarkable action of this one is hard to account for. The woman would un- doubtedly have been killed but for the presence of her husband.—Silver City correspondenbe El Paso Times. • • • When Queen Victoria List Her `Temper, About any caricature of the sculp- tor, Sir Edgar Boehm, who was a great favorite of the late Qaeen Victoria, relates Cartoonist 'Spy in the Feb- ruary Strand, there is a story. I drew Sir Edgar contemplating a bust of Ruskin, When the published drawing reached Windsor it was duly placed before Her Majesty, who, cast- ing one glance at it, flushed with anger, and, tearing the reproduction in two, threw it into the waste paper basket. Now, it never struck me that there Wall any facial resemblance between the author of "The Stones of Venice" and my gracious Sovereign, but the Queen evidently thought otherwise, especially as the sculptor's regard of his Royal patron was notor- ious. Naturally I was filled with eonsternation. A few days later I heard that a member of the Royal suite had again shown the Boehm caricature to the Queen, asking Her Majesty is she didn't think it amus- ing. Then came the eclaircissemerit, and all ended happily; otherwise I fear I should have been in bad odor in exalted quarters.

It was my good fortune the other day to run across a, story whieh indicates that David Starr Jordan is not taken seriously by everybody in the classic shades of Palo Alto, At least one man in that neck of the woods seems to be "on" to the prexy. The fact that this rea‘n is a Chinese is only another proof of the depth of Oriental discernment. It is related, says Dr, Devine, that in Palo Alto at noon on April 18, 1006, a Chinese cook was preparing dinner in the sereet on an improvised cook stove of bricks. A passenby remonstrated that Ibis was uselese labor, that there was to be another earthquake before the dinner could be eaten. The Chinese evinced little interest, but inquired: "Who say so?" "Why," was the answer, "Dr. Jordan says so." John Chinese merely remarked, "Why didn't Dr. Jor- dan tell us about the first one?" and went on with his cooking.—From the San Francisco Town Talk.

Many a Christian is in a. critical con- dition when he is thoroughly disecnitag- ed, and it is because he le most apt to be inclined to slacken his zeal for the Lord, and exercise less faith in God, and pay smaller heed to divine things. A merely nominal Christian is very likely to abandon his profession of religion at a time of pungent discouragement. It lhifaes. been so in thousands of. instances. The professed Christians have felt that they could no longer endure such an experience, and so they quit and made no further effort to live the Christian All such eases ere Saddening to a gen- uine child of God. But I have a word of advice to the Christian for his help in times of discouragement. Let him take it for granted that he will have hours of such feeling. It is an attend- ant of life in this world. It is connected with the frailty of human nature. Whet shalt one do at such a time? Keep on doing full duty. Pray as earnestly as possible. It is just the time to pray. Indeed, it is more necessary for one to pray then than it is at sonic other time, for it is a danger point. Pray that you may not Dm the spirit and exereise of prayer. Pray that you maycontinue to pray. It is when one is discouraged that he is tempted to think that there is no use irt his continuing to pray. Satan says that it is needless to pray any more; but Odd and the Bible say that one ought always to pray, and not to fafnt Perhaps you have been praying for the recovery of a sick one; you become discouraged because at times that one seems to be getting Wees01 instead of better; but pray, even then, for with God all things arc possible. You may be praying for the conver- sion of a member of your family; you get diseouragea beehives there are times when he or she seems herder In heart than formerly; but mind not that; pray all the harder, and exertise more 'WU when you are Odours:god than when you are eneouraged.
