WELL IN WINTER
Winter is a dangerous season for
tate little ones. The days are change-
able—one bright, the next one .'cold
and stormy, that the mother is afraid
to talcs the children out for the fresh-
air and exercise they need so much.
In coneequenoe they are often cooped
up in overheated, badly ventilated
rooms and are soon seized with colds
or grippe. What ig needed to keep
the little ones well is Baby's Own Tab-
lets. They will regulate the stomach
and bowels and drive out colds, and
by their use the baby will be able to
get over the winter season in perfect
safety. The new sales tax will not in
crease the price of Baby's Own Tab-
lets; as the company pays the tax. You,

TORTURES OF SCIAThI4
Relieved by Enriching and Puri-
fying the Blood.
Sciatica is neuralgia of the selatte
nerve and the treatment should be the
same as for other corms of neuralgia.
Sciatica; is etubborn in resisting treat-
ment and the patient frequently suf.-
fere for years.
So many cases. of sciatica have been
helped by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
that every sufferer is justified in giv-
ing this treatment a thorough trial.
Dr. Williams, Pink Pills do not simply
relieve pain—they correct diseases
caused by weak, watery blood. Thus
they are beneitcfal in the treatment of
even the most eevere disorders. Their
value in oases Of this kind is shown
by the experience of Miss Lizzie Free-
man, Nogies Creek, Ont, who says:
"I was confined to bed for seven
weeks with sciatica. What I suffered
is almost impossible to realize. The
doctor did all he could for me, and
yet I was not getting any better, and
he 'told me the trouble was likely to
leave me crippled. A neighbor who
was in to see me, strongly advised me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I de.
titled to do so and after taking them
for a 'while found- they were helping
me. I continued taking the pills. until
I had taken nine boxes, when I was
able to walk as well, as ever, and telt
that I was fully restored. In view of
what these pills leave done for me I
strongly recommend them to all suf-
ferers."
If you are suffering from any con-
dition due to poor,, watery blood or
weals nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills ntow-an(1_note how
your strength and health will improve.
The new sales tax will not increase
the price of Dr. Williams Pink Pills,
as the company pays the tax. You
can still obtain the pills through say
medicine dealer at 50' cents a box, or
by mail, post paid, at this price, from
The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.

him:
"Wal, be ye goin' to pay cash or
charge it?" ;
"0h, whichever you prefer."
"Wal, if it's cash, it's, two dollars
and sixty cents far the job; but if
you're gain' to charge It, it'll be two
dollars."
"Why, Obed, that's queer! Usually
it's less when it's cash."
"Yep; but ye see so many summer
folks go 'way an' fergit to pay their
hills, I lose more where it's charged,
an' so I'd rather keep them charge ac-
