SUFFEREDWITH
HACKING O1IGH
COULD NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT.
The constant hacking cough that sticks
to you in spite of everytbing yoi have
dine to relieve it, is a source of danger.
The longer the . cough stays, the more
serious menace it is to yea' health.
It is easy to check a cough at the out-
set with Dr. Weed's Norway Pine Syrup.
If you have let it run though, it takes a
while longer to cine, but Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup will cure it even
then after other remedies have failed.
Mr. J. Henry Landry, South. River,
Burgeois, N.S., writes: --"I received such.
great benefit from Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup that I cannot help expressing
my thanks. I suffered with a hacking
cough for over a month, and could not
sleep at night. 1 used many kinds of
remedies; butthey didn't do me any
good, until I used ' Dr. Wood's,' and
found great relief right fibm thestart.
I only used two bottles, and was com-
pletely cured. I will never be without
it as long as I live."
There are a number of substitutes on
the market for Dr. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup, so when you ask for it eee that it
is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine
trees the trade mark; price 25c. and 50c.,
and that it bears the name, The T. Mil-
burn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.
for her own protection. Across the
battlefield of the reeds it Is believ-
.ed that. no invader will penetrgte to
the islands of the Venetian lagoon.
The city puts her trust In the lagoons
as confidently- as she trusted to the
sea inolden times.
To the visitor in Venice in these
days when the invading army his
only a short march distant, one of
the odd memories of the war will be
that of the music of the great guns
booming rota the Lidi and the nests
of reedy islets in the northern la-
goon. Tat. music accompanies you
all day ' in Venice.
The Queen of the Adriatic has her
face to the foe, She has shut heti
shops and sent her merchandise
away. The army or the navy have
taken her young men. Those tea
remain have, bricked up or sande
bagged her churches and monu'
menta and now await the issue in elle
tire 'calm, ooifdent that although
the enemy is no more than a long
gun shot away, it Is not at her own
gates that, Venice is menaced..
From Bureno, a motor -bot takes
you through a Maze of channels into
the canal Siloane . where ybu thread.
your way, between reedjcovered
banks .toward the mainland.. You
can see nothing but. the. channel and
the reeds. There is not a roof nowt
sight.. We are getting in up
s s" int
towhat may be called the artilleiy
defense line of, Venice: On the way
we passed a British monitor with • her
big guns pointed inland. The coast
batteries and big gun monitors con-
stitute another defense line. Here in
the salt channel between. the islands
we come .suddenly u n a Boating
battery or pontoon, as the Italians
call them.. It is a big steel Targe
mounting a gun which has been'
steadily pounding the Austrians on
the Piave Vecchia all night. She is
manned by sailors, for the 'artillery
defense of Venice is entirely In the
hands of the navy.
From Porte Grand', as far as the
eye can see, the land is covered with
a waste of muddy water with rows of
half -submerged willows marking out
the fields which it covers and 'here
and there an isolated clump of farm
buildings emerging froni the 800d -s.
We are here -on the edge of the Piave
inundations and in another naval ar-
tillery defense belt. high banked;.
roads, dikes, and farm houses are ally
that remain Bove water. Some of
these fauna house islands are held by
`Austrians and some by Italians and
it is the'&iro: of both sides to destroy
the farms held by the enemy. A few
nights ago some Italian sailors un-
dertook a cutting out expedition
against one of the Austrian islands,
captured aid burned the buildings
and .came back ,'with Austrian psis-
onera.
Nothin more dismal can be ]mag,
lied than this battlefield among the
reeds except the awful desolation of
the Flanders front. Unending water,
half drowned willows, and farm
houses under a bitter winter sky
compose about as melancholy a pic-
ture as even war presents. On many
of the is an,ds =formed by the release
of the f oods to protect Venice are
brave families clinging to their
homes in the hope that 1918 will see
the invader thrown back.
On this sector the Italians have a
superiority of artillery. It is at
night the the Italian guns do their
hardest w�rk. At night the Austrians
always attempt to construct field
works or in lay bridges or boats
across the` .Piave Vecchia to the
canals. They tape a numer of
boats, tie them together and , swing
them out from one bank trusting to
thecurrent to Seat them into place
on the other side: It is the business
of the Italian\ floating batteries to
drive away these bridge -builders and
to destroy the fruits of their labors,
and this they do with surprising
success.
In Venire, herself, I have seen no
sign of actual damage, wept a hole
torn in, the roof of San Giovanni and
San Paolo by an ,Austrian, airplane
bomb. The - fron.t of San Marco and
the pillars of the Doge's Palace have
been bricked up so that nothing of
them remains visible. The same pre-
cautions have been taken with the
famous statue of Colleoni and, • in
fact, with all the monuments of -the
town that can be so protected.
In the Piazza di San Marco almost
all the shops are closed, but a num-
ber are still open in the Mercers,
and, although almost all the gon-
dolas h.ave vanished, it is still pos-
sible to find one to take you up the
Grand Canal.
GERMANY'S MAN OF MYSTERY
UDENDORFF is. Germany's
man,: of mystery, the grim,
inscrutable, anent man
whose picture is on sale in
every shop, whose name is in every
mouth, but whose real personality is
hidden even from his own country-
men,.
Ludendorff is Hindenburg's indise
pensable right-hand man. When
Hindenburg took command on the
east front in, mid-August, 1914,
Ludendorff *as rushed from Liege,
Where he had led the first brigade to
enter the conquered city, irk a special
train all the way across Luttemburg
and the Rhineland, across Hanover
and the Mark of Brandenburg, to
Hindenburg's headquarters on the
eastern frontier. He became Hinden-
burg's G ere alstabchef-chief of his
general Staff.
Since then, the two have been in.,
separable. When Hindenburg be-
came ehief of the great general staff,

4 U E STARTING POINT
OF CONSUMPTION
Lies in Weak, Watery Blood -Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills Make the
Blood Rich, Red anal Pure
Weak, watery blood is the starting
point of consumption. When - your
blood is in this condition your whole
health declines. Your face becomes
pale or sallow, your appetite fails,your
1 heart jumps and flutters at the least
exertion or excitement. You are al-
ways weak and wretched and you lose
interest in both work and amusement.
This is the point from which you, may
easily,..step into that hopeless decline
that leads toconsumption and the
grave. What is needed to bring back
health, ,strengthand energy is the
new, rich blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills actually make. In all the world
of medicine there is no other tonic
and: blood builder like them, and all
who feel weak, run down or easily
tired should lose no time, in giving
these pills 'a fair trial." They have
transformed thousands of weak, hope-
less anen and women, boys and girls
into strong, robust people, In proof of
these statements may be given the
experience of Mrs. T. Brennen, Charl-'
ton, Ont,, who says: "Not only my-
self, but my friends think that had it
not been'for Dr. Williams Pink Pills
I would have filled a consumptive's
grave. My condition was most ser-
ious; ,my j blood *mined literally to
have a turned to water; I was as pale
as a sheet and became utterly unable
to do any housework or go about. I
doctored steadily for a long time but
was growing weaker, and finally the
doctor held out but little hope for my
recovery. It was thought that a trip..
might help me 'and I was taken to
New Ontario. Those who saw me
while on my ' way, did not think . It
would reach my johrne is end alive.
After I reached my destinaton a friend
strongly urged me to try Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, and .of course I 'was
anxious to regain my health I did so.
The pills were %he first medicine I had
taken which seemed to help me at
all, and it was not long until .I felt
they were doing me good. 1 continued
their use gladly, and began_ to feel
hungry and soon. after was able`to go
about the house. Next I was able to go
out of doors and, help in the house-
work, and from that time on my pro-
gress was rapid, and in the end I was
'enjoying better health than I had ever
done before. There are many people
who can testify to the absolute truth
of these statements, and I feel I would
not be doing justice to your wonderful
medicine if I did not make these facts
known."
You can get these pills through any
dealer in
medicine or by mail at 50
cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50
