Watford, Ont., Fib, 8th (S e
P )
—Mr. Robert Taylor; Sr., a very
estimable man living here, is telling
his friends that the pain in his
back, from which he suffered for
solve time, lias disappeared, and
that be gives all the credit tollodd's
Kidney Pulls.
"My trouble started with a cold,"
Mr. Taylor states, "and though I
was treated by a doctor I got no
permanent relief. I had cramps in
my muscles and stiffness in my
joints, my sleep . was broken and
unrefreshing and I perspired freely
with the least exertion. I had at-
tacks ,o rheumatism and sciatica,
and though I tried many medicines
1 found no relief till I tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. 1 must say they were
a great benefit to me."
Mr. Taylor's troubles came from
his kidneys. • The diseased kidne#+s
failed to strain the uric acid out of
the blood and the results were as he
has stated. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the kidneys in working order, the
uric acid was strained out of the
blood, and the troubles went with
it.

WOUNDS OF WAR.
Amputations in Present Conlliet
Comparatively Small.
Dr, Henri de Varigny. of Paris
says that in the present war the am-
putations are few in comparison
with those of the wars of forty or
fifty years ago. Surgeons now have
to make no minor amputations. Out
of seven thousand wounded men,
for -example, who were received .at
the Vichy 'Hospi'tal in November,
only six hundred amputations were
made—an average of twenty a day.
In the Franco-Prussian War in
:1870, the ratio between the number
of wounded and the number of am-
putations was at least forty per
cent. The decrease is owing to
the fact that the emergency treat-
in.ent onbhe field has'heen so re Li'rti
improved .that the' daanger of=izfee-
lion is almost entirely •lone • away
with. According to the Army and
Navy Journal, each French soldier
now carries his own iodine, and the
British soldier will soon be follow-
ing his example. Every man will
have in his kit a small capsule. of
iodine, in :a shape so simple to ap-
ply that the wounded man or his
neighbor .can dress a slight wound
instantly. The importance of this
immediate dressing can hardly be
overestimated, for small wounds,
from bullets, shrapnel, or frag-
ments of shell, if not attended to,
are quite as likely to become infect-
ed as more severe ones.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Facts Worth Knowing.
It is a serious question some-
times to know just what to eat when
a person's stoonae' h is out of order
and most foods cause trouble.
Grape -Nuts food can be takeir at
any time with the certainty that it
will digest. Aetual experience of
peoplo is valuable to anyone inter-
ested.
A woman writes : "I had suffered
with indigestion for about four
years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer so with my stoma -oh
I would wish I never had to eat
anything,
"I was urged to try Grape -Nuts,
and since using it I do not have to
starve myself any more, but I can
eat it at any time and feed noun-
ished and satisfied; dyspepsia is a
thing of the past, and I am now
strong and well.
"My husband also had an experi-
ence with Grape -Nuts. He was put
under the doctor's care but medi-
cine did not seem to do • h'im any
good until he began to leave off
ordinary foods and use Grape -
Nuts. It was surprising to see the
change in hi'm. He grew better
right off, and naturally he has none
but words of praise for Grape -Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape -Nuts, and he
learns sofast at school that his
teacher ,comments on it, I am satin
fled that it is because of the great
nourishing elements in Grape -
Nuts.''
This mother is right. Grape -
Nuts food is a certain and remark-
able rcbuilder of body, nerves and
brain.

one appears i;roin tihne to time. They

AVIATORS' NARROW ESCAPES.
Flying Against Wind Is An Aliment'
.Stationary Nark,
Some of the British military avia-
tors have lately had very narrow
escapes owing to the effect of the
high winds ;which have been blow-
ing; It must be remembered that if
an aeroplane which does, say, sev-
erity miles an hour in calm ,air, goes
up in a wind which sat high alti-
tudes ` is blowing perhaps at !sixty
miles per hour, its •s eed against
that wind will rally be about ten
miles an hour, whereas if it turns
and flies with the wind, the wind -
speed will be added to its own
speed, and it will then be doing
about 130 miles per hour—just as
the speed of a boat on a river is de-
creased or i.n•ereased when going
against or with the current. '
When an aeroplane is flying
against the wind, it thus offers an
almost stationary mark. The Ger-
mans, of course, know this as well
as the British do,and, therefore
apparently hold their fire till they
see the machine is flying against
the wind, and as aresult they are
now getting very much closer to
their targets than they did during
the early part of the war, when the
weather was practically cairn for
weeks at a time. •
The •consequence is that when
British pilots are flying •against the
wind, and find the shells coining too
close, they promptly turn •and sail
off down wind, and then, of
course, their speed is so terrific that
it is almost impossible to hit them.
Painful Swellings Reduced
Muscular Strains Ended
Such Troubles Now Quickly Rubbed
Away by Powerful
Remedy.
If you have any muscles that are
strained and weak, that are frequently
subjeot to rheumatic pains; if you
have any painful swellings that re-
fuse to go away—get busy with Ner-
viline. This is the very sort of trou-
ble that Nerviline is noted for curing
quickly. "I have proved Nerviline
simply a wonder in reducing a hard,
painful swelling. It followed an In-
jury I received in my left leg and
caused me great pain and dis.eomfort.
The muscles were strained and sore,.
and no Other remedy gave the ease
and comfort I got from rubbing,; tin
Nonnifee. There is "a soothing; : pain-
.iellieving power about Nemviline• that
touched the root of my trouble. Ner-
viline reduced the swelling, it destroy-
ed the pain, it brought my limb back
to perfect condition." The experience
of Mr. I3owen, whose home is in 'Mid-
dlesex, is not unusual. Thousands are
proving every day that muscular pains
of every kind, chronic rheumatism,
lumbago, neuralgia and sciatica will
yield to Nerviline when nothing else
can possibly cure. Nerviline is an
old-time family pain remedy, used
nearly forty years with great.ssuccess.
The large family size bottle costs 50c.,
trial size 25c, at all dealers.
- FEAR CHOLERA IN SPRING.
Thousands of Dead Lie In Shallow
Graves on the Battle Fields.
It is only a matter of time, in the
opinion of physician's who have visited
the battlefront in France and Belgium,
when cholera will make its appearance
among the armies in western Europe
and perhaps cross the Channel tato
England. The men fighting in the
east, notably, the Austrians, have suf-
fered from cholera, more or less epi-
demic, throughout the campaign, but
so far as is now known, there have
been no cases in the west.
But with the coming of the spring
thaw in France and Belgium, the
thousands of dead lying in shallow
graves will render a vast field of
operations highly unsanitary, menac-
ing the health of those whose power's
of resistance have been broken down
or weakened by the strain of un
wholesome trench warfare,
Moreover, the Germans have from
time to time shifted forces from east
to west and vice versa, In view of
this, it will be surprising if cholera
does not follow these shifts. The
Germans have been criticized for
burning 'their dead; but even English
physicians are now inclined to admit
that this after all is the most humane
method, In that a body.once inciner-
ated is no longer a menace to the liv-
ing.
Presumably, the French and British
authorities are doilit,^ all in their
power to forestall a cholera epidemic;
but they have not inoculated the
troops as the Germans have done in
the • east.
They have met with enough oppo-
sition as it is In their' endeavors to
inoculate against typhoid, a procedure
to which so many soldiers, supported
by anti-vivlseetioui societies and Sim-
ular organizations, have violently ob-
jected.

Military "Nevi es."
The general staff of the German
army is quick to use any invention
that may improve the efficiency of
the. common soldier. Thus, in the
twelve months before. ,the outbreak
.of the war, the Germans taught
nrew recruits in nearly every garri-
epn town such minor military .aotiv-
iiies as mounting guard, setting up
tent, bayonet drill, and doing nen-
einel duty, by means of specially
prepared motionepieture films. They
have used motion pictures also to
illustrate other military activities,
such asbuilding •bridges, destroying
railways, throwing up earthworks,
erecting barricades for street fight-
ing, springing mines, and laying
pontoons. To popularize the army,
the • German government shade spe-
eial films of the great military
niandeuvres of 1913, and motion-
pleture houses in all ;parts of the
cenntryy exhibited the pictures with-
,rieA charge.

Yoe! I am thankful for the glow
That fills my heart because 1 know
So much of what mankind has done;—
Of noble efforts, triumphs won.
.1VIy heart is full of gratitude,
Because I know that life is good,
And that, however much I know,
Towards higher truth I still uiay grow.
Still deeper gratitude is mine,
Because I see the light devine
Revealing ever problems new
In wider, truer, clearer view.
I should rejoice because I know,
And more because my power may
grow,
But Highest joy should come to me,
For what is yet to know and see.
