Mr. Andrew Bowen, Highland Grove, Ont., writes:—"I must say that Burdock Blood Bitters is a wonderful preparation, I had a very bad case -of eczema which spread almost over any entire body.

Mrs. James Mack, Trenton, Ont.,- writes:—"I suffered for *several months with a had cold. Some friends told me about Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and of the benefit it was to them. Before I had used two bottles I could get some rest, which I could not do before. I had tried everything, but "Dr. Wood's" was the only thing that gave me any relief. My husband suffered terribly from; bronchitis, and did not know whether he was going to recover or not. At my druggist's, Mr. J. I3: Dickey., I was ad- vised to try your syrup which I did, slid am so thankful that j cannot recom- mend it highly enough," Many people on tbo first sign of the slight cold or cough neglect it thinking, perhaps it will disappear in a day or two but the longer it is let run the worse i gets until it settles on the lungs and ' 6erious results ensue. On the first sign of a cough or cold, get rid of it before itgets settled. Take a few doses of I)r. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup and see how quickly it will cis -1 appear. This sterling remedy has been on the Market for the past 30 years, and stands head and shoulders over all other hough remedies.

This system work- ed so well that the (65161al) soldiers were removed from the barracks •at the close of 19.15, ' Glad To See Soldiers Oa "It was a great thing when the soldiers were removed;" said the doctor, reminiscently. - "Why?' inquired The Globe. "Well, they were always prowling around, anti were more nr less : of nuisance; it was very unpleasant - to know they were there." Were they offensive or brutal?" "I saw no actual cases of brutality," "Then how/do you account for the stories about other camps; do you think they were true?" "I can quite.believe that some of the military prisoners were ill-treat- ed, where they were forced to work. Ours waS a civilian camp, and we were not obliged to work. Many of our teen were merchant seamen from Brit= ish ships in German harbors, and later some were'from the Wolf, the German raider of the South Seas." Were there any attempts at capes?" "Yes, there were some who got away." "How did you spend your tine?" es - Conducts An Orchestra "In various ways," replied the doc- tor. There was the Camp School, which was a very interesting institu- tion, with all branches of study, liter- ary handicrafts. We had a really good band and an orchestra. 1 did quite a lot of conducting. We put on a num- ber of operas, including .Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado," and "Yeomen of the Guard." It was all by men, of course, and we had to fill the wo- men's parts with falsetto -sopranos. I took several female Tarts myself. We also produced plays by Shaw and Gals - worthy We had a really interesting Shakespeare tercentenary. German otlicers often brought their wives to see the plays. "Then we had what we called the "Arts and Science Union", composed ni' the "superior" element, who pro- ducecl high -brow pieces." "Would you say that the camp was a good example of a state of dem- ocracy, or chid Wren rise or fall to their levels?" asked '1'11,- Gh,i'e mann. An Earl In Camp The- ex-frisnner thought a little and said, slowly: "We mixed prett: fteaiy—of course, we chose our own friends. By the way. we had an Earl in the cainlp. There were some real criminal types, too, but, on the whole, there was a somal amount of stealing." Sees Mr. Gerard. One of the Strange features of this dose confinement of sten was the fact that for four years many of them had never spoken to a woman in all that period. They had seen them ata distance. The only time Dr, MacMillan spoke to a lady was when Ambassador Gerard and his wife visited the camp, They attended the performance, at which the doctor was conductor. "How did the prison life affect most of the sten; did they Suffer mentally?" "Several became tisane. One in my box lost his reason." "How did it happen?" Action For Sanity "Ile got brooding and became de- pressed then he stopped doing things. It is•absolutely necessary to find some thing to do. An enormous number studied languages, i did a lot of reading. Thanks to the Board of Ed- ucation in England, headed by Sir Al- fi•ed Davies, we had a line reference library, It was a great blessing." The doctor was very modest in re- gard to his remarkable achievement in composing an oratorio on Switt- burne's ode, "England," while in con- finement,' • This composition secured for hint the Oxford degree of Doctor of Music. He said he had to work under great difficulties, as he could seldom get in a place .by himself. He 11ad only a few hours it week at the piano, and the scoring was mostly done in the barracks, amid all kinds of noises. Prisoner Writes Novel. One prisoner wrote a whole novel, three others wrote plays, and there were, of course, a poet or two. One received a Knighthood; this was Sir John Irvine of Aberdeen, "What was the biggest day in the camp?" asked The Globe with a hunger for the sensational. "The day the Kaiser abdicted," replied Dr, MacMillan, without hest- tation. The soldiers got the otli- cers into a corner and took off their badges and buttons, and having de- prived them of their authority they formed a Soldiers' Council. They raided the officers' quarters, and marched to Berlin smoking fat cigars and waving revolutionary flags. Our Captains' Committee called a meeting of tine prisoners and we decided it would be better to keep together." Let the Kaiser Hang "Were the Germans shocked when the Kaiser rant away?" • "1 don't think they cared what hap, pened to him, They were disgusted viten he left Berlin for Headquarters when he was most wanted. That Was the reason why he was so long in abdicating." "What of the Crown Prince?" "He was* not papular among the Thursday, February 27tH, 1919, soldiers, They said some frightful . 4 kings ahout the Crown 1 'rinse—some that 1 heard were unprintable, One soldier told me It was the first time a dation was glad to be neaten,.
