WEAK, TIRED PEOPLE
Are. Usually the Victims of Pale'
Watery .Blood.
•
Anaemia is the medical term for
poor or watety blood. It may arise
from a variety of causes, such as
lack of exercise, hard study, impro-
perly ventilate•c1 rooms or work-
shops, :imperfect assimilation of
food, etc. The chief symptoms are
extreme pallor of the face, lips and
gums; rapid breathing and palpita-
tion of the heart after slight exer-
tion ; headaches, dizziness, some-
times fainting ,spells and a tendency
to hysterics, swelling of the feet
and limbs, a feeling of constant
tiredness and a distaste for food.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a cer-
tain cure for anaemia; because they
make new, rich blood, -which stimu-
lates and strengthens every organ
and every part of the body. The
following is one among thousands of
cases of this serious trouble cured
by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Miss Georgina Raymond, St.
Jerome, Que., says : "About a
year ago my health began to give
out. I suffered from headaches,
heart palpitation, dizziness, and
appeared to be threatened with a
general breakdown. I was at this
time employed in the family of a
doctor, who, seeing my condition,
gave me medicine. I took this
faithfully for some time, but with
no benefit, and I grew much dis-
couraged. Then a friend advised
me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
saying that she had found a cure
through them in similar conditions.
I
took her advice, got a supply of
the pills and took them regularly
for some time. Gradually I be_
came strong, and in the course of a
month or so I was again enjoying
the best of health, and have not
since had the least return of the
old symptoms. I can heartily re-
commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to all weak girls."

UNMARRIED GIRLS IN CAGES.
Custom Followed by Some Natives
of New Britain. '
The Rev. George Brown, D.D.,.
who has passed many years of his
Iife in the South Sea Islands endea-
voring to stamp out polygamy and
eannibalism among, the natives,
says in some parts of New Britain
the natives have a custom of placing
young women in strict seclusion be-
fore marriage by imprisoning them
in cages for several years until they
reach a marriageable age. Dr.
Brown, says the London Globe, de-
scribes how on one occasion he in-
spected a number of these human
cages.
"The cage was quite clean," he
said, "and contained nothing lout a
few short lengths of bamboo for
holding water. There was only
room for a girl to sit or lie down in
a crouched position on the bamboo
platform, and when the doors are
shut it must be nearly or quite dark
inside. They are never allowed to
come out, except once a day to
bathe in a dish or wooden. bowl

a slight eruption of the skin, tort of a rash.

two remedies which did no good, and that
I tried Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Re-

cured."

MACN1UTARA'S STORY.
Mr. T.' J. Macnamara, the Cana

tary to the British Admiralty, spent
his early manhood as a teacher' in
the board schools, and as a result
he is possessed of a budget of hum-
orous stories anent the difficulties
that are met with when endeavoring
to develop youthful minds.
One relates to a young and en-
thusiastic teacher who was trying,

pity to his class. Said the teacher:
"Now, supposing a man was work-

the water. His wife, hearing his
screams, and knowing full well his
peril. rushed immediately to the
bank. Why did she rush to the
bank?"
There was a dramatic pause.

way," said Jack to his younger bro-

into their bedchamber. "You should
breathe through your nose." "Yes,
but I don't know when my mouth is
open. What do you do when you
wake up and find your mouth
open ?" "What do I do?" answer-
ed Jack, derisively. "Why, I get
up and shut it, of course."
