SUCCESSFUL
MEDICINE
Known All Over The World
—Known Only For The
Good It Has Done.
We know of no other medicine which
has been so succeesful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
, find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among suf-
fering women for the past 30 years.
Fox Creek, N. B. -"I have always
had pains in the abdomen and a weak-
ness there and often
after meals a sore-
ness in my stomach.
Lydia E. Pinkham's
VegetableCompound
has done me much
good. I am stronger,
digestion is better
and I can work with
ambition. 1 have
encouraged many
mothers of families
to takeit as it is the
best remedy in the world. You can pub-,
lish this in the papers." -Mrs. WILLIAM
S. BOURQUE, Fox Creek, N. B.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek-
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia Ea
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, many
d whom state that It has saved them
from surgical operations.

The Emperor In France, .
'One anecdote o0' the Grand
Duchess Olga is vouched for," says
Kellogg Duiland in his "Royal Ro-
mances of To -day." "One day a pro-
i'essor from Moseow was giving the
Grand Duchess Olga a leseon in hie -
tory. A Indy in waiting was sitting by,
as usual, to instue that no dangerous
goctrines ere taught. Sin:Wanly 'Olga
looked at her -teacher and tithed, '\Vho
is emperor of France The professor
felt that this was an embarrassing,
question, for it was as yet far too 'eer-
ly, toundertake the explanation of a
republican system of government, The
lady in waiting, however, wee equal
to the. occasion, for, eeeing the eme
barraeement of the profeeeor, she an-
swered, 'To France the emperor is
called president!'

FOR TWO TEARS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SLEEP
Mr. Chas. W. Wood, 34 Torrance St.,
Montreal, Que., writes: -"For two years
I had suffered with nerve trouble, and it
was impossible for inc to sleep. It did
not matter what time I went to bed, in
the morning I was even worse than the
night before. I consulted a doctor, and
he gave me a tonic to take a half hour
before going to bed. It was all right for
a time, but the old trouble returned with
greater force than before. One of the
boys who works with me, gave me half
a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills. I took them, and I got such
satisfaction that I got another box, and
before I finished it I could enjoy sleep
from 10 p.m, until 6 a.m„ and pow -feel
good."
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are
50 cents per box, or 3 boxes for 51.25, at
all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of
price by the T. Milburn Co., Limited,
Toronto, Ont. •

North Bay, June 17, -The worst
electrical storm in the history of
Northern Ontario, visited this section
early Sunday, morning, beg/tieing
about two O'clock and continuing, tic-
oom,panied by cloudburst,. intermit-
tently until five, Very little sleep
was possible to anyone, as crashing
thunder shook the houses like cards,
one peal succeeding another so quick-
ly as to suggest a bambardmenk of
giant forces.
The house of John Brennan was
struck by lightning, which passed
down the chimney and showered the
occupants .with piaster from the cell-
ingS, but fortunately caused no injur-
ies. Streets and cellars were flooded,
and many gardens ruined, Mrs, Brous -
seals and her son, living in a small
tames on Harvey street, were flooded
out, and were rescued by neighbors
through the windows at !lye -o'clock in
the morning.
Haag's circus .train passing north
to Porcupine was caught in the storm
and roars of frightened, animals gave
employes an anxious time.
The streets of North. Bay in the west
end presented an unique appearance
with houses surrounded by water and
people using hastily improvised rafts
to navigate. Many people were there
°uglily frightened and thougat the
end of the world lead come, and no
one could be fond yesterday morning
to say that they had ever experienced
anything similn.r before. In the coun-
try sections many barns were a sstroy-
od and much damage done to crops.
Fifteen miles aecen North Fay earl

Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills work on the

Mrs. J. Hubbard, Port Colborne, Ont.,

A big mottled grey Persian cat has
just performed a feat, which the wiz -
est man is unable to explain, It was
sent from its birthplace, Glastonbury,
Sornersetshire, to Kingston -on -Thames
'over 133 miles, Now, cats hate to
change their homes, an this was no
exception. But how could the poor
thing get back? It had been sent from
Glastonbury to - Kingston in a pack-
ieg-ease, which had- holes in it just
large enough to let the cat breathe,
but not to see through; so it could
know nothing of the route. But the
cat disappeared from Po new quar-
ters, and must have spent nearly five

Somereetshire. It was lost soon after
its arrival in April; in September it
returned to its birthplace at Glaston-

Taller Babies.
Dr, Ezekiel Boyd, a London physi-
cian of Canadian birth and good
standing declares the 1 race is
degenerating -pbysically.
And he finds his evidence not in
the flat -chested, sallow-coinplexioned,
under-sis,ed English youth, but among
the babies of all classes. These are,
he says, becoming longer, and long
people are not as hardy or adaptable
as people of medium height.
Instead of the recognized standard
of 18 1-2 inches at birth the babies
that'? have come ueder the doctor's
notice have averaged ao less than 22
inches.
Dr. Boyd ascribes the change to the
increased consumption of fruit, the
acid of which dispels the secretions of
lime, and to a change in the character
of the bread eaten, which now con-
tains less lime -than formerly. The re -
suit is that the bones do not ossify
or set so quickly and their constant
tendency is to grow longer, thus -weak-
ening the general strength of the
child.

scented danger. indeed, I did at times
realize that I was drifting into trouble,
but the only way for me to break with
her was to go to -Jive in another place.
This was. scarcely practicable.

I not fallen in love with a girl whore
I desired to make my wife I don't
know. Agnes heard of my attentions
to the lady I admired, but she did not
educe any jealousy. I became en-
gaged, but still Miss Myrtle did not
show any signs of making trouble for
me. 1 was congratulating myself that
she would be above annoying me or
was, after all, indifferent to my en-
gagement when one day I received a
telephone message from her saying
that 'she was not feeling well and
would like me to call upon her profes-
aionally.
I wished she had called in some one
else. Ladeed, I was surprised at her
calling upon me after she had so often
assumed that we were lovers and I
had become engaged to another. Nev-
ertheless I thought it better to make
the visit. I found her becomingly
dressed in negligee costume lying on
a lowage. She told me that she needed
a tonic, and 1 prescribed oue that was
perfectly harmless. She asked rue what
it was and when I toicl her said that
she needed something stronger. She
had once taken arsenic iu small doses
for the purpose of building up her
strength and preferred that I should
give her some compound of which ar-
senic formed a part.
Arsenic is a common medicine to
give for tonic purposes, so I wrote just
such a prescription as I had written
many times before. Agnes took it,
folded It carefully and put '3t in tier
corsage. Then 'she began to upbraid
me with what she was pleased to call
my treatment of her, I disavowed her
charges, but as our talk proceeded I
saw in her eye a vindictive look that
frightened me. Then suddenly it dash-
ed into my mind why she had asked
for a prescription for a drug which
was a deadly poise

For reply she coolly pointed to en

It was now evident that the only

'that would ruin inc would be by du-

mediate method except to_ pretend to
gradually see my relations with her in
another light -to appear undecided
and at last ready to give up my ens
gagement and engage myself to her.
'1 sat down by her and began a more
frightful string of lies than were ever
told by the father of lies himself, the
purport of winch was that I really,
loved her, had always loved her and
would never love another. The only a,
possible reason for her believing me
was that she wished to believe me.
"Why, then," she asked, "have yell

"Because," I replied, "you are doom-
