'Without doubt a largo alnouut of laudanum is eonstinied by tho tipper classes in conjunction- with alcohol, It is a hard and fast rule that a dipsomaniac is also addietod to tho morphia habit, but not vice versa. "You Wheal that a dipsomaniac who is deprived of drink would try to get drugs, but that a victim of the drug.habit does not caro about alcohol?" "Exactly.". "Is the habit increasing in this country?" "Very much.

Tho idea of being in communication with Satan is most common in these cases. But eventually the victim becomes 'de- graded in mind, physically demorallz- ed and mentally diseased. In some asylums in America 33 per cent. of the patients were opium .eaters. There is no doubt also that it stimulates to crime, Ii'roquently it happens that the victlnhs of drugs twill steal things when there le n0 inducement to do so:' In Singapore 80 per cent. of those confined in 111e House of Cox - motion were opium smelters, and the offences of which they were guilty wore nearly all ngoinst property," "And: the curt.?

RED RHEUMATISM DED�� S R A RIGHT WAY AND A WRONG WAY TO TREAT Tier, TROUBLE. Liniments and Outward Applica- tions Cannot Cure -The Disease Must be Treated Through the Blood. Rheumatism is ono of the most ch human- ity with wh e common a co it is afflicted and there are few troubles which cause inor0 acute suf- fering. There is a prevalent notion, also that if a person once contracts rheumatism it is bound to return in cold or lawn) weather. This is re mistake; rheumatism can bo thor- oughly driven out of the system, but it must bo treated through the blood, as it is a blood disease. Rub- bing the affected joints and limbs with liniments and lotions will never euro rheumatism, though perhaps it may give temporary relief. Dr, Wil- liams' Pini: Pills have cured more cases of rheumatism than perhaps any other disease except anaemia.. These pills drive tho rheumatic pois- on out of the system by their action on the blood, and the trouble rarely returns if the treatment is persisted in until the blood, is in a thoroughly healthy condi Lion As an illustration of how even the most aggr'evated forms of this trou- ble yield to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the case of Mr. 3, J. Richards, of Port Colborne, Ont.; puny be cited. Mr. Richards says: -"About three years ago I sutferel from a most severe attack of rheumatism. I could neither lie down nor sit up with any degree of ease, and I em _quite sure only those who have been. similarity afflicted can understand what agony T endured. I put myself under the caro of an excellent doctor, but got no benefit. Then. I tried another and still another, but with no better results. lay this time 1 had become. so reduced in fleshthat, friends hard- ly knew ine; I could not move hand or foot and had to bo turthed in bed in sheets.

I kept on taking the pills until I had used a dozen boxes,, by which time every trace of the trouble had disappeared. X firmly believe that had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would have been a rheumatic cripple for life." Those pills not only cure rhouma- tisni, but all other blood and nerve diseases, such as anaemia, indiges- tion, kidney troubles, neuralgia, *par- tici' ar-tici' paralysis, St. Vitus dance, etc. The' genuine pills always bear the full name, "Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on the wrapper moiled every box.

Over this exit, which is dry at the time of the building, the musk rat daises his house, The house is a seemingly careless, roughly rounded heap of grass roots, lung water -weeds, lily foots -ani( stents and mud, with a fow sticks woven into the foundation. Tlia site is •cunningly chosen, so that• the roots and steins of alders or other trees give it secure anchorage; mid the whole structure, for all its ap- parent looseness, is so well com- pacted as to be secure against the sweep of the spring freshets.
