Here is a family name that is, a good bit of a puzzle, both ass to radial origin Mad source. ,. The obvious explanation, but one which is not entirely satisfactory, is that it was originallya name added to the given name in order to describe natiot7,ality. •Undoubtedly this, actually is the true origin of the naive in -a great many caees, for in the old Eng- lish records there are instances of such names as "Malcolm le Scot" which, of course, . could' have no other, meaning. But this does' not explain everything. There are more ancient records in Italy, in France and in Germany, as well as Anglo-Saxon England, which prove that "Scot," in one form or an- other, was rather widespread as a given name, and not as a descriptive name added to the given name. Latin Inscriptions give us the form "Scotus" tea!-:�.ccoz Oder 100,000 people have testified that TANLAC has relieved them of: Stomach Trouble, Indigestion, Heartburn, Palpitation, Rheumatism, Ma -Nutrition, Sleeplessness, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, Loss of Weight, Torpid Liver or Constipation. and "Scioto," the latter apparently be- ing a common name among the Teu- tonic Franks who lived in the northern part of France; , The name was also common among the subjects of the Emperor Charlemagne and among other Teutonic races as "Scotardus," with syllable, it is . to be noted, similar to Richard, Reynard, Leonard, etc., a dish, tinotly Teutonic compound. It was also an. Anglo-Saxon given name, as "Scots," and the place name Scottowe is simply a development of the Anglo- Saxon "Scoteho" or "grave of Septa." In those days there ways no such name as Scotland, though in the Cel - I tie tongue Ireland was known as "Scots. It was not until the Middle Ages that, as the name of a country, it was transferred to Scotland: in eom- mon usage. The existent:* of the family name in so many countries indicates it often developed from the given name, but where the given name first appeared is still a mystery. RICHARDS Variations — Richardson, Richeson, Richey, Richie, Richert, Rickard, Rickards, Riokers, Rinker, Rickey, Richett, Rioketts, Riches, Riccardi,. Ricciardi, Reichard. Racial Origin=Teutonic. Source—A given name. The Normans left their stamp not only on England, but upon all Europe, for while: they colonized by no means all the latter, there was a period in medieval times when the Norman arms had subdued about all of the European continent, and . Norman rulers held sway in Italy, Spain, France and parts of what is now- Gere many, as well as in England. Nor did the Normans have to do more than merely rule most of these sections to leave among them; as one of their legacies, the given name of` Richard. Meaning "stern king," it was naturally: a name to appeal to such a warlike anddominating race. as these Teutons of the middle ages, and one whicb»naturally became usual among the various Norman„ families; ruling hi different sections of Europe. In -turn' Ichies •names ,were,generaliy' popular ;among .the populace in all rands." Hence it becaine;a widespread given name first, and then a family name throughout most of Europe. Richesoin, as well as Richards, is a shortened form of Richardson, and Richey, Ritchie,'and Richie are short- enings of Rielles,oii. Rickey and Ric- ketts and Ricket are developments of names formed from nicknames of Richard through the nye of the diminu- tive ending "ot" Rickart, Rickards, Rickert and Ricker show German in fluences, while Riccardi and Ricciardi are natural pronunciations of the Italian tongue. Reichard le found in Alsace and Lorraine. Oh! Those e Printers!

By Driving the Poisonous Acid From the System. Rheumatism attacks people when the blood is thin and watery, or charged with impurities, thus setting up Inflammation of the muscles and joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp winds may start the .pains, but the cause is rooted in the blood and to get relief it must be treated through • the blood. As a blood builder and nerve tonic Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are ;un- surpassd, and for that reason do not fail to give relief to rheumatic' suffer- ers when given a fair trial. Among the rheumatic sufferers whohave proved the great value of this medi cine is Mrs. Simeon T. Tatton, Indian Head, Sask., whosays:—"For°' over two years. I was an intense sufferer from rheumatism and until I began the. use of Dr. Williams' Pink .Pills no treatment that I took helped me any.

Words cannot tell how much I suffered, and I could not bear to have anyone come near -me. Finally one of my neighbors 'strongly urged lie to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so. In the course of ;a few weeks 'I could feel an`improve meat, and I was able to get up.
