Rasmussen, of 211 Marquette Street, Montreal, who is a Justice of the Peace, and a man not inclined to give praise, except where it is well due, says: "For many years I was troubled with a serious eruption of the skin. This was not only unsightly, but very painful. 1 first tried various household remedies, but as these proved altogether useless, I took medical advice. Not one, but sev- eral doctors in turn were consulted, but I was unable to get any permanent re- lief. Some time back I determined to give Zam-Buk a trial, and after a thor- oughly fair test, I can say I am delight- ed with it. I have the best reasons for this conclusion; because, while every- thing I tried failed absolutely to relieve my pain and rid me of my trouble, three boxes of Zana-Buk have worked a complete cure. In my opinion this balm should be even more widely known than it is." Mr. C. E. Sanford, J. P., of Weston, King's Co., N. S., says: "I had a patch of eczema on my ankle, which had been there for over twenty years. Sometimes, also, the disease world break out on my shoulders. I had taken solution of ar- senic, had applied various ointments, and tried all sorts of things to obtain a cure, but in vain. Zam-Buk, on the con- trary, proved highly satisfactory, and eured the ailment. "I have also used Zam-Buk for itchdnru piles, and it has cured them completly. take comfort in helping my brothermen, and if the publication of my opinion of the heal- ing value of Zam-Bak will lead other suf- ferers to try it, I ebouid be glad. For the relief of suffering caused by piles or skin diseases, it is without equal." For eczema, eruptions, ulcers, piles, blood - poisoning, varicose ulcers, children's sore beads, ringworm, salt rheum, cuts, scratches, burns. bruises, and all skin injuries, Zam- Buk is a perfect cure.

A noted authority on vital statistics as affected by sanitary administration says that if only everybody could have pure air, pure water, and pure milk the effect in a short time would be to leng- then the average duration of human life by eight years. The same authority also shows that whenever sanitary measures are enforced against any particular disease that is amenable to sanitation, that is, a pre- ventable disease, the result will be a saving of lives in all of the diseaees that are due to bad sanitary conditions. For example, the enforcement of sanitary measures in protecting a community's water suppl yas abar against typhoid will also result in the saving of lives from the other intestinal ailments due to the use of impure water.

"The biggest job Y have under- taken," declares an English steeple. jack, "has been the decorating ward repairing of the Nelson column in Trafalgar. Square, London. Nearly forty tons of laurel were used and the greater portion of this had to be car- ried aloft and fixed to the column at varying heights up to the top. "I thought out my plans," he says in the Wide World 'tagazine, "but eventually decided to lash ladders to the structure by means of ropes passed d'round an 'round it. It was a ticklish, trying job, but it was ac- complished without hitch or mis- hap of any kind. "Two sets of ladders were used, placed opposite to one another. This was necessary, as the column meas- ures forty feet in circumference—too far to pass a rope around with ease. The most difficult part of the ascent to negotiate was the cornice at the top of the column. This is the heav- iest projection for throwback work in England and I had to climb up and over it with my back to the ground, for all the world like a fly on a ceil- ing. I am not ashamed to confess that I breathed more freely when I had rounded the obstruction and was able cautiously to slide myself on to the platform which supports the statue, From below this appears flat, but it is really bevelled with a sharp slope outward. "I found it too covered with an inch thick layer of greasy soot, so that to walk about on it was exceedingly risky. However, once I got the life- line secured to the statue all was plain sailing. "I discovered a crack in the hero's arm, which I repaired, When I tell people this they not infrequently ask on the spur of the moment, `Which arm?' Of course the figure has only one." a_a COMFORT FOR MOTHERS HEALTH FOR CHILDREN Baby's Own Tablets will promptly cure indigestion, colic, constipation, diarrhoea and teething troubles, destroy worms, break up colds and thus prevent deadly croup.

In Chicago there were last year over 1,500 deaths from typhoid, 8.3 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The health officer of this same city in his annual report says: "This deplorable re- sult was due to the negligence of the people is not heeding the warnings of the health department, in which it called attention to the polluted water supply and urged that all water be boiled before using it for domestic purposes." The epidemie of typhoid cast the city about $500,000. But outside of the warn- ings sent out by the health officials there is nothing in the report to show what was responsible for the condition that killed 1,500 persons in less than twelve months.

People who search for a gas leak with a candle generally find it. General Belief and Private Opinion do not belong in the same regiment. Men who come home late at night have two ways of acting at breakfast in the morning.

The failure to aggravate an existing trouble by binding a moist application over an inflamed eye, which application le supposed to remain for an entire night, can only be explained by the supposition that a guardian angel has watched over that misguided case and has displaced the poultice before it had got in its fine work. A11 oculists condemn the poultice abso lutely, in every shape and in every form.

There rs perhaps no other well popu- lated country in the world which has so many well wooded towns as has Holland. Most streetsand graebts.or can- ,:baof rs avbntheues ofa,trees, TJtrecht has two. rows of trees on either side of its ugaint canals . Its canal banks are con- structed as if in two storeys. The lower storey, almost flush with the water level, is lined with warehouses and vaults, while the upper storey has dwellings,.and shops, Both levels are Planted with trees. - So many avenues of trees make a Dutch town exceedingly pleasant, espe- cially on a hot day. The foliage tem- pers the glare of the sun and the vis- tas ofreen are refreshing to the eye. These abundant growths in thickly popu- lated towns are highly useful as well as ornamental. It is recognized that from a hygienic point of view they are valu- able to the citizens. In holland these useful services are gratefully recognized and the trees are carefully tensed by the municipalities The coat of this care per capita in the different towns varies somewhat. Last year, for example, Utrecht devoted 21 cents (Dill ell)to its trees for each in- habitans and the Vague 28 cents for each of its 2511,000 citizens. It takes two and r- half Dutch cents to equal an American cent, About ten years ago the annual cost of caring for the trees of The Hague was nineteen cents (Dutch) per capita, but since that time massy new trees and shrubs have been planted throughout the city ,and new parks have been laid out. It has been found that not every kind of tree will thrive in the streets of a town, for trees have many enemies, both above and below ground. Gas escap- ing from pipes underground is the worst enemy of trees, because quite small quan- tities of it are deadly. For this reason special precautions are taken against the leakage of gas in Duteh towns. How electricity escaping underground acts up- on trees as yet has not been sufficient. ly studied to be understood. Trees will not grow ire very narrow streets where the houses are high; neither will they thrive if the pavement does not let in moisture and air in sufficient quantities. The best trees. for street planting in Holland are elms and lindens, but the elm is the hardier of the two and will grow where a linden will not. Trees of these kinds reach it great age, like the old elms along the quiet grachts of Edam, one of the `dead' cities of the Zuy- der Zee, wnichsaw the fleets of Van Tromp and De Ruyter in the harbor of Edam—the harbor which appears so tiny to modern eyes that one with difficulty imagines "the terror of the North Sea" anchoring there. Then there are the magnificent lindens of the Mallebaan in Utrecht, which appealed to the French monarch, Ring Louis XIV. Those lin- dens be commanded Itis soldiers to spare on peril of their lives. ---The Rague corrc- spondenoe Chicago News. thougl'' �` w A `trangle.

An English physician lecturing before. the London Institute on the use of oxy- gen in athletics said that athletes• used, up their oxygen faster than inhaling air could supply it. The beat of the heart and pulse was reduced and the blood. pressure raised after inhaling oxygen. He had induced two runners to ex- periment, and they overran their own.. records after taking oxygen. He thought taking the gas before an athletic event would lead to record breaking. All athletes are exhausting their hearts by using up oxygen faster than they can replace it and their hearts are damaged for want of it. If they took oxygen before, during and after the game the heart, he said, would te re- stored and they would not suffer the ill: effects of their exertions, Keep Minard's Liniment in :he house. di 41 He Knew His Friends.
