The province of Up- new process. per Canada continued the work from I840 to 1867, and later the Ontario Government built two locks between this point and Balsam lake. The lat- ter locks were enlarged by the Do- minion Government which has con- structed seventeen ordinary locks and two hydraulic lift locks, one at Peter- borough and the other at T{trkfietd. These hydraulic lift locks are stated to be the largest in the world of that. typo. The construction of the all - river route from Trenton to Rice lake was commenced in 1907.

Pain is one of Nature's warnings that something is wrong with the body. Indigestion, for instance, is character- ized by pains in the stomach, and of- ten about the heart; rheumatism by sharp pains in the limbs and joints; headaches are a sign that the nerves or stomach are out of order. Iu-some ailments, such as anaemia, pain is not so prominent. In this case Nature's warning take the form of .pallor, breathlessness after slight exertion, palpitation of the heart, and lose of appetite. Whatever form these warn- ings take, wise people will not ignore the fact that many diseases have their origin in poor blood, and that when the blood is enriched the trouble dis- appears. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are most helpful in" such ` eases because they purify and build up the blood to its normal strength. In this way it tones up the nerves, restores the ap- petite and gives perfect health.
