The progress of scrofttla during a normal autumn is eoinmonl ' groat. It is probable that few people ever think of scrofula—its bunches,erap- tions, and, wasting of the body — without thinking of the 'benefit many sufferers from it have de- rived froth Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose success in the treatment of this one disease alone would be enough to snake it what it is, one of the most 'fatuous medicines in the world. • There is probably not a city or town where Hood's S'arsaparillahas not proved its tnea,it in more Montes than one, in arresting and com- pletely eradicating scrofula,- which IS almost as serious and as much to bo feared as its near relative.... consumption.

Have you ever been at sea in a storm ane seen the clouds Jowering, the wind rising and the waves running mountains high, decks treacherous and the crew anxious? Unless you have, you cannot imagine its awful majesty, or . the courage it calls up and the spirit it commands in men. Many Canadians Have Never Seen the Sea— Yet the sea is Canada's World -Trade highway. The sea and the Merchant Sailors .make us prosperous. But the Merchant -Seaman's Life is hard and perilous. He wagesContinuous battle against the forces of nature. The real sailor is not the deck steward or attendant on comfortable ocean liners. His ship is no floating palace. His voyage no pleasure trip. The Reals' Sadllor's Ship is the Tramp Steamer— . or Windjammer, beating against gales—decks awash—sleep a stranger for days and nights on end. Frozen in winter, dodging icebergs in spring, groping through fogs off treacherous banks, beating round the Horn, fighting through typhoons, or becalsned in the Yellow Sea. Tough• going all the way.
