Salvation! Army Captain.
Capt. Wm. E. Sanford (Salvation
Army), 38Rarlscourt Ave., Toronto,Ont.,
writes: "A short time ago I suffered from
heart trouble, which seemed to come on
me very suddenly. I was so bad, that
at times it seemed as if it was all I could
do to breathe. I noticed an announce-
ment of Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills, and decided to give them a trial.
After taking two or three clays'treat-
ment I felt fine, and my heart has not
bothered me since. If this testimony
would be of any service to others you are
at liberty to use it."
'To all who suffer from any form of heart
trouble Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills
will give prompt and permanent relief.
They strengthen and,invigorate the action
of the heart, and tone up the whole sys-
tem.
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are

"There's no 'oh' about it," growled
Dickey. "It was all cut an' dried

"You mean that ,,,the marriage was

"W'y, of course, It couldn't very

"No --not as between you and her.
I can vouch for that. Forgive me, Mr.
Bulmer, 1 bare a daughter of mar-

"If I didn't I wouldn't do it"

services to this State, would resolutely

Bulmer had never heard any one
speak with the crystal directness of
Dom Corrin. Each word chipped
away some part of the fence which he
had deliberately erected around his
own intelligence. Certain facts had
found crevices in the barrier already.
Dom Corria broke down whole set-

DRINK WATER ONLY
WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY
The Doctor's Theory on the Time to
Partake of "Adam's Ale"—Helps
• the Constitution
The proper tirele to drink water is
when one is thirsty, no matter under
what conditions the thirst may arise
or when. Such, at least, is the present
Position of the more : rogreseive of
the medical fraternity.
'l'he old superstition which forbids
water at nasal -thus passes, Itwas a
superstition which had much show of
reason, to be sure. It seemed quite
evident that the •drinking of water
with meals unduly diluted the food
and so hindered': the mastication and
insallvation that are 'essential. to Its
proper preparation for the stomach.
The doctors seemed correct in stat-
ing that water, when introduced into
the stomach with food, diluted tate
gastric and other digestive juices, so
essential to the digestive process, and
so very materially interfered with
assimilation,
It was 'confidently stated, too, that
a quantity of water in the stomach
actually flushed that organ, ano that
the food was thus carried On into tine
intestines before the digestive
changes that should be brought about
had been satir•factorily inaugurated.
Bet. re Science Intervened
On these grounds, to which tate lay-
man could not demur, we were con-
demned to thirst at mealtime by the
edict of our physicians, although it
is pretty safe to sal that the majority
of us, heeded the voice of appetite -
just as the doci:ois did in practice.
All thls was before science load en.
abled men to actually see the diges-
tive mechanism at work or to ap,pre•
bend the delicate chemistry of the pro -
ceases involved.
It now develops Haat, in so' far as
the digestive process is concerned, the
principal effect of water is to greatly
stimrlate the flow of V.'s? essential
fluid, the gastric juice. No other
agent in our food coos this so quickly
or as effectually. Mora significant
stili, the gastric juice ams i ac.etc-d
has a higher conemtration of acid
than that produced pre'•r,us to .the
introduction of tile. water.
That is to say, water is quite t,ssen-
tial to the free pre duclton of tate most
important of the -e-agentswhish na-
ture uses in tzaz forming food foto
