Cannot be Cured by Liniments
—Must be Reached Through
the Blood
Thousands of men and wom•on
suffer severely from • rheumatism.
Cruel, crippling pains in the mac -
'cies' and joints make every =Ce-
ment a torturer Many people thinls
rheumatism, is due to cold or wet
weather, and they try to cure
themselves by rubbing liniments on
the painful parts. This is a great
mistake—tele rheumatic poison is in
the blood, and liniments and rub-
bing cannot give more than the
most temporary relief. If you are
a victim ef rheumatism or lumbago
you can only rid yourself of it by
making your blood rich and pure,
for only in this way can the poi-
sons of rheumatism be driven* from
the system. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have .cured' more oases of
rheumatism than any other disease
except anaetmia, just because they
make the rich, red blood that goes
right to the root and cause of
rheumatism. You cannot be well
when your blood is impure,• there-
fore, begin curing your rheumatism
to -day with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. The following are the par-
ticulars of one of the many thou-
sands of cures to the credit of this
health -giving medicine:
Mr. Jeremie Nadou, St. Jerome,
Que., Says: "A few' years ago I
was seized with a severe•:attack of
rheumatism.. The pains in my back,
arms and legs were terrible. I
treated with several doctors, but
they did not help me, and as time
went en I was Unable to work, and
began to think that I would be a
cripple for life. While in this try-
ing condition a friend who had
been cured of rheumatism by the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ad-
vised me to try this remedy, and I
got a supply of the Pills. I .had
taken the Pills for several weeks
before any improvement was no-
ticed, but onto signs of relief came
the improvement from that time on
was rapid, and I joyfully continued
taking the Pills until every vestige
of the trouble disappeared. No one
but a, similar sufferer can imagine
the gratitude I feel for this relief
from pain, 'acrd because I have since
enjoyed perfect health I urge other
rheumatic- Sufferers to• give this
''medicine a trial."
You can get Dr' Williams' Pink
Pills from .iny medicine dealer or

Hobbies and Their Patrons.
It is said that a hobby should be
Chosen to provide a complete
change from the regular wvork of
life, and apparently many well-
known people have borne in mind
this maxim when selecting their
spare -time pastime. For instance,
it is difficult to imagine two more
widely different things than diving
and Sanscrit, aazcl the former is the
favorite hobby of Professor Rock-
well, the eminent Sanscrit scholar.
The Earl of Aberdeen finds' relaxa-
tion .in landscape gardening when
affairs of State do not demand his
attention. Lord Charles Beresford
makes a hobby of carpentering, at
which he is ear adept, while Ysaye
turns from his violin to a well -be-
loved pipe, Another Musician ---
Meek Hamboul'g—seeks change of
occupation in numismatics; and
Thomas Hardy turns from book-
writiug to dance -music as a pas-
time. The most famous of modern
logicians, Profeeser Abbott, has
croquet as his pcb hobby.

The West African Bushmen Ilave
Strange. Bolief:"
• In the minds of most of the West
African bush people no hard and
fast line seems to exist between the
living and the dead, writes T: A.
Talbot in The Wide World Masa-
zine. Ghosts are thought to exer-
eiee great influence over those who:
still dwell on earth. At all cere•
-
monies of importance the names of
the principal ancestors are invoked,
and at feasts part of the food is al-
ways laid aside for them, in such
words as the following:
"Listen, my family ! Here is the
offering (goat, sheep or cow) which •
•we have killed for him who has
died. Here is your portion. It is
time fur us to .eat." A libation is
also poured out in seder that the
dead may drink with the living.
By ,a beautiful fancy, any strang
er who dies in a town is buried on •
the road by which he entered it, se
that his spirit may easily find the
way back sto his home, er 'at least
watch the road thither and listen -
for the eoining_of friends.
Among many tribes those objects
most used by the dead man while in
life are broken and laid around his
grave, so that their spirit, set free
by the breaking of thein earthly
forms, may he borne by their owner
into the world of ghosts.
