RA UB DISEASES I1 THE SPRING Cured by Toning tho blood and Strengthening the Nerves It is the opinion of the best • medical authorities, after long ob- p servation, that nervous diseases are snore ,common and more serious t • in the spring than at any other time e of the year, Vital changes in the eystenr, after long `winter- months, $ may cause much more trouble than e the familiar spring weakness and s. weariness from which most people suffer as the result of indoor life in. poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official re • - cords prove that in April •and May neuralgia, St, Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerve trouble. are at their worst; and that then, more than any other time, a blood - making, nerve -restoring tonic is needed. - The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for the system really needs streng- thening, while • purgatives only gallop through the bowels, leaving you weaker.. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medieine, for they actually make the new, rich, red 'blood that feeds the starved nerves, and thus .cure the many forms of nervous disorders. They eure also such other far•ifs of spring troubles as headaches. poor appetite, weak- ness in the limbs, as well as re- move unsightly pimples and erup- tions. In fact they unfailingly bring new health and strength to weak, tired and depressed men, women .and children.

The word `=tonic- comes from the Greek word tonos, whidh means tone or tension, and is .applied. to all remedies • that physicians give tt: a patient who is in a state of bodily weakness, and who needs something to improve his tone and increase his strength. Doctors formerly thought that tonics acted directly on the nerves and con- t1 actile tissues, but we now know that the strength or weakness of any organ depends on its nutri- tion. and that tonics help by in - c r easing ,the assimilative powers and aiding nutrition. Stimulants produce an immediate. ,and mo- mentary effect of 'the same kind, but tonics act slowly and gradual - and are to be taken for long perieds of time. Tonics fall naturally into three gastric tonics, blood tonics and general tonics. The gastric • tr,nics are given in cases of im- paired digestion and poor 'n•ntri- t.iun ; all the so-called bitter ton- ics carie under that head. They increase the flow of saliva, hasten digestion, and stimulate the appe- tite. The blood tonics restore to the blood something. in which it is temporarily deficient, .andespecial- ly increase the number of red eor- puse:es. The general tonics act through the nervous system, im- prove its tone, increase the body w eight, and seem to give added strength to all the organs. Naturally anyone who is "run down'. should know just which kind of tonic ought to be used, and no ene should use any tonics that have net been prescribed by a compet- ent physician ; and above all no not should recommend tonics to an - teller merely because they have h 'nefited himself. Most people who need any tonic at all need a scien- tific. cienof c. combination of several, and only a physician is .competent to de- cide which. When a man's nerv- ous system is overworked, his di- gestion is generally poor, and he is threatened. with the anaemia that is pretty sure to follow along per- icidy of poor digestion. In such .cases the patient steeds a compound tonic: but if he takes one that over stimulates his nervous system, he may indeed experience • a tempor- ary •feelingof well-being, but. he must beware lest it'is followed by a complete .breakdown. Let your, physician tell you what tonic to take, when to change it, and when to stop taking it. --Youth's Corn- panion. Not Tho Popular Anywhere.

Toronto, March ]6th.—In connec- tion with letters and circulars that have been sent broadcast through- out Canada, especially from neu- tral countries, for the purpose of bringing the war to an immediate close and generally propagating •a peace movement throughout the country, the following important stateanent has been issued by the National Committee for Patriotic Service. The statement is signed by Mrs. Gooderham, president, and Mrs. Plumptre, Secretary of the Committee. The statement is as follows :— Letters and circulars in praise of peace have been issued., calling on women all over the world to unite in a great effort to stop the war. In some cases, signatures to a pe- tition are r: requested; in others membership' in a Peace Society. In these circumstances, the • Committee calls your attention to the follow- ing considerations: Few, indeed, are the men or wo- men who would hesitate to declare. themselves "in favor of peaoe." No neutral nation can hate war with half the intensity of, hate felt by the nations who are bearing war's burdens. But declarations in favour of peace may be repre- sented as condemning all who fight, and such use has been made of them during- this war. Though we may hate war, and though we may •a•drnit that there is always wrong at the root of war, yet we cannot unconditionally concleinn all war, nor regard all belligerents as equally guilty.

In, such a ,conflict, neutrality has no particular merit ; while to entreat the policeman t4 stop figihting, does not 'tend to •promote peace, but only tends to prolong a period ,a.f, terror and insecurity. • We have drawn •the sword to de- fend the rights of the weak, the liberty of the many, and the pledg- ed honour of th.e Empire.

WILLIAM'S DED HE SLEEPS ON A FACTOitY- MAD E BEDSTEAD. All .Cbout the Couch 011 Which the War Lord Dreams of Cooling Vic- tory Over Allies. The Kaiser has many hones, and, therefore, many sleeping apart- ments; but the room in which it is estimated he seeks repose for a hundred nights of the year is situ ated on the -second floor of the Ro yal Palace in Berlin. Judging by. the Kaisers' genera love' of. display, we might naturally expect that his bed -room would be a sumptuous apartment, richly har- monious; and the last word in lux- ury. Lofty and spacious it certain- ly is, but very few people would call it really ]beautiful. There are treas- ures in plenty in this Imperial chamber:, but even the Empress herself grumbled because she had to content herself with "the rem- nants of centuries scattered among Berlin -made show -pieces.'

During th.e early years of his reign, William II. slept upon 'a couch of stately splendor—a magni- "ficent bed, with canopy and' cur- tains, heraldic designs, and plenty -of comfort. • Then, one day, the Empress saw English !bedsteads - in the beautiful castle of the Prince and Princess Frederick Leopold of Prussia, and, determined not to be outdone by these richest •of the Hohenzollern, declared thatshe, too., would have shining brass bedsteads. The Kaiser was fond of the old and. beautiful bed, but Ise had to give in to the Kaiserin on the mat- ter, for Augusta Victoria was de- termined ta`have her way for once, So the antique couch left its alcove and the brass bedstead came in its stead. However, the Emperor did ngt give way entirely. He slept upon the new couch, but he insist- ed ripen its removal by day, and would have the old Elizabethan bed Set up, to be removed again. .at nightfall, - Shor't of Sheets.

"The paucity of the lined chest jars on Imperial no- tions. Everybody knows that the Kaiser fears illness arid shudders at the mention of. any kind of disease. This being so, every precaution is taken to preserve his health. "Ncr draughts" is the motto, for those who attend to his Majesty's health. • During summer .and winter heavy curtains screen the Imperial bed; at least, the doors and windows near are shrouded carefully. Even the bedclothes are fastened down not with the idea of preventing one royal:oecupant of the bed from stealing .a royal share of the blan- ket, ,but simply to exclude the pos- sibility of draughts from the au- gust sleepers.
