As The Result
Of ,a Neglected Cold
Ile Contiacted
SEVERE BRONCHIAL TROUBLE.
Mr. W. T. Allen, Halifax, N.S., writes:
"I feel that 1 would be doing you and
your great remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, a gross injustice if I did not
write and let you know the wonderful
results that I have obtained from its
use.
"Last spring I happened to contract a
cold. Of course, this is a common oc-
curence, and I did not take any particu-
lar notice of it at the time. However, it
did not break up as quickly as colds
generally 'did with me, so after two weeks,
• and no sign of improvement, 1 began
to get alarmed,and went to my local
i
p ysician who nformed me that I had
contracted severe brcenchial trouble as a
result of neglecting my cold. He pre-
scribed some medicine for me, winch I
took for about two weeks without any
sign of improvement. I was getting
pretty much discouraged by therebut
one day a friend happened to be in to
whom I was relating my trouble and he
advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, saying that he had obtained
very beneficial results from its use in
a similar case. took his advice and
procured several bottles from rny drug -
'gist. After taking it, according to direc-
tions, for about two days, I noticed a
decided improvement, and from that
day on I began to get better, and in ten
days I was in -my usual health. I con-
sider this an excellent showing for your
remedy, and can highly recommend it to.
anyone afflicted as I was. I shall always'"
put in a goo,d word for it whenever the
opportunity offers itself."
You can procure Dr, Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup from any druggist or dealer.

Two coachee, carrying 92i ,Austrian

passed through Toronto, a few nights
ago, on their way to tHearst, ;near
Cochrane, New'Ontarles, where they will

The prisoners are mostly ypunernen,
and all able bodied and ;capable eif

They are fully equipped with warm
clothing supplied by*the DorninionGove
element, consisting of heavy -Woollen
underwear, sweaters, canvas lumber -

The prisoners were in tharge of a
guard of twelve men rand a sergeant

Mostly Germans, and. Turks, in ithe
camp at Kingston, who will be put to
'Work as 'soon as they can be used.
The Turks, according to one of the
guards, are a quiet, well behaved lot,
but the Gerinans take a fgoaa deal ef
watching, as they are of inuch higher
mental calibre; and several attempts to
escape have been thwarted only bydthe
constant vigilance, of the sentries on
duty at the tainp. They have been ha,v-
Mg an easy time of • it, so far as

M ;his 'usual -daily exercise of splitting
wood in ,his back yard, ,He ,wound up
his labors by carrying in a Sew pails
of water. No tremble was perceptible in
his 'sturdy -stride; for ,he Is as robast
now as .he was 20 years ago, although
he passed his 80th birthday on the last
day of the year.
When he had finished with his chor-
es he stepped to the ekitchen shelf,
took down his plug of Macdonald, slic-
ed off' a few shavings, ground them
in his hand and loaded his stubby'
briar. •
His wife, meanwhile, had finished
with the beeakfast dishes, for she, too,
does her work, although she is 12 years
old. She wiped out the 'dishpan, hung
it up and draped the tciwel neatly
over it so that it would 'dry. Then
she stepped over to her thusband,4Who

'Sure I 'do, Pelagle. ;Air wedding'

They sinned at each other. Like a
pair of young lovers they .put their
arms around each other's waists and
sq.ntly strolled into the sitting room.
Quietly they drew chairs near together
and occupied them. Their moods were
identical. 33oth wished to reflect -upon
the past. So they sat in silence remini-
scence. '
In his fancy Joseph drifted back to
the winter evenings when, as a boy,
sat before the roaring logs in the old
cabin on the farm, part of which is
now known as Happyland, and listened
to his father tell stories. Hie father's
name was Aimable Hogue. He was
born in Montreal in 1791. He came west
veith Governer Siimpson about 1824, and
for .2o. years tra.velled with that gen-
tleman inspecting trading posts belong-
ing to the Hudson's BayeComparies. The
travelling was done principally in he.nd

north, was given hirn. This farm in
I eluded what is now ;known as Happy -
land. He married. Margaret Taylor and
settled down to the life of a farmer
He raised a family of ten, five boys
and five girls. One son ;and three
'daughters are dead. His father was
French-Canadian and hit mother
Scotch, He was proud of his ability
to trace his ancestry back on his fath-
er's side .to the very earliest days of
Canada.
At the age of '24. Joseph decided to
get married. He had long been in love
with his playmate, Pelagie Turcotte,
whose father was a wealthy trader.
Pelagie's father wanted to gat la large
load of provisions hauled up from St.
Paul, Minn., and was unable to go him-
self. joseph grasped the opportunity
to make himself "solid with dhe old
man" before he popped the ques-
tion." He made the trip himself, bring-
ing back -with him 16 carts loaded with
provisions. He waited for what seemed
a decent length of time -after he had "
performed this favor and then asked
for 'Pelagle's hand. His request was
granted and the couple were married

looked like that at the first glance,

• In some eases the English had dug
trenches, but had not occupied therm

placed either before or behind his

it was almost untouched by the fire

One of the foremost medical writers

from this disease, which sweeps over
Canada every winter, is duringtonval,.

cmidition that makes the sy,stern
ea4y prey to pneumonia, bronchitis,
rheurnatism, nervous prostration and.
even 'consumption. It is a eondition
that calls most emphatically for a tonic
for the blood. Dr. Williains' Pink Pins
are a tonic especially adapted to meet
this need as they purify and enrich
the blood. They tone up !the nerves and
give vigor, strength and, health to the
debilitated system; Mrs Howard De
Chaffey, Indian Island, itR, says:.
"For several winters in succession
was attacked by la grippe widen left
me weak and badly run 'down. In each'
case ti used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills;
with the most benificial results., Last
winter when the trouble was ;again
prevalent I took the precaution of for-
tifying my system with Dr.
Pink and escaped the trouble
1 while many of my neighbors were dowa
with it. •�n fat Onjoyed the best of
health all spring and feel 'sure this
medicine will so fortify the System as
to prevent the trouble."
