"We must not forget that the fa- ther, not only of the university, but of university educationin Canada, was James MoGUI, a oitizen of Mien - Veal. His endowment in 1811 was the first practical step toward the erection of our first Canadian Uni- versity." These were the words spoken by Sir William Dawson at the inaugur. etion of Molson Hall, one of the buildings of McGill, Ito Which will return on October 12th many hun- dreds of its alumni to asaist in the observance of .the anniversary of this leading university of the Dominion of Canada, and which is always a .centre of interest Ito educators and students visiting Montreal. McGill has had an interesting history. One hundred yeans ago, on March 21st, the college received its charter and came into existence as an inatc- tuition qualified to offer courses in higher education to those seeking such advantages and to bestow de- grees, says the Boston) Transcript. James McGi1I who was the 'first to conceive the idea of such an institu- tion, was a Scotch gentleman of far- sighted vision. Upon his death it was found that his will contained generous pro- vision for (the university or college "with a competent number of pro- fessors for the punpo.ses of educe. - tion and learning in the province,' which should itself, or one of its colleges, "be named and perpetually distinguished by the appellation of McGill College." The property, which consisted of his dwelling house and buildings known as "Burnside." together. with forty-six acres of land, was left in trust to the Royal Institution for the Ad- - ancemenit of Learning, and it was upon this 'property that be stipu- lated :the college should be erected within ten years of his death, which Was in December,. 1818. In front of the old Central Arts Building, erected in 1843, there is a low monument surmounted .by an old- fashioned urn, Beneath this rest the remains of the founder, which were transferred from .the old Protestant cemetery in Dufferin Square, Dorchester Street, Mon- treal,. in 1875. The medical school was the first department, -of McGill. It was organized eat a time of social diis- tress and to .meet a ,pressing edu- cational demand by men of high A professional status and it was car- ried on in the early years of its existence through great difficulties and •at a cost of much personal labor and sacrifice. Up to this / time the hospitals and educational institeitions were only adapted to the seeds of the French population and, with the need of the. increasing Pro- testant immigrant population, there was need for resources to meet their wants. Those who really may be considered the foundens of this medical School were Dr. W.illiam° Caldwell. • Dr. William Robertson, Dr. Andrew Holmes and Dr. John Stephenson. On June 29th, 1829, these officers of the Montreal ,Medical Institution were constituted the medical faculty of McGill. Thuswhile finances were 'satin entirely lacking were these .three great undertakimmge 'merged, namely the provision made by James McGill for a college, the activities of the Royal Institution and the laborts of the Montreal Medical 'Institution. \During the 'next twenty -ave years practically all of the active work of the university was carried on by the medical faculty.

But after thirty years the mare progressive citizens of Montreal awake Ito the worth of the institution which was trying hai'd to get along in their midst. Several gentlemen under- tooi the responsibility of its re- organization, and in 1852 an amended chanter was secured. The Governor- General of Canada far the time being, Sir Edmund Head, ' became interested in the institution, and in 1866, with the Advent of a new principal, an era •ef progress and prosperity was entered upon. A course in law was begun in con- nection With the faculty of arts in 1848 and the department was es, tablished as a separate faculty in 1863. The faculty of applied sci- ence was not regularly organized until 1878, ,but a course in engineer- ing, which was amplified ••into the department of 'practical science in 1871, was given under the faculty of arts as far back as 1866. The faculty of agriculture was estab- lished in 1907. Within • the last twenty years the several buildings that have been opened up (have been the Strathcona medical buildings, 1901; the conservatory of music, 1904; the Macdonald College, 1907; new engineering building, 1909; and the new medical building, 1911. To -day one finds the various build- ings rather widely scattered and_ a casrlal inspection of the irutervening distance .between the Royal Victoria Hospital at the one end over to the gvmnasaum at the apposite end will give a good idea of the growth of McGill in these hundred years. There are the old medical buildings and the new medical buildings, the arts buildinr, Redpath Museum and Red- eath Library, Macdonald engineering building, Macdonald chemistry and mining ibuilding, and iMacdonald physics bu'lldinas, conservatory of music. Royal Victoria College for Women, Wesleyan College, Dioce- san College, Strathcona Hall, obser- vatory and other buildings, not to mention Macdonald College, wherein scientific agriculture is taught, twenty miles distant. _ The chief objection to twin beds is that there are no twins in them.— Brantford Expositor.

WHAT TO DO FOR STOMACH TROUBLE Good Advice From One Who Had Suffered Much. Nine tenths of all forma of indiges- tion or so-called stomach trouble are not due to the condition of the stom- ach at all, but are caused by other in- fluences. The groat contributing cause of indigestion is thin blood. Good blood and plenty of it is requir- ed by the, stomach to take care of the food. If the blood is thin the stom- ach functions sluggish, food lies undi- gested, gas forms and causes pains in various parts of the body. Instead of .getting nourishment from the blood the system gets poison. Relief frim this condition can be obtained by the tonic treatment which Mr. D. Shaw, Mt. Stewart, P. E. I., tried and now warmly recom- mends to others. Mr. Shaw says: "I suffered from indigestion for over four years, and have tried many of the well known remedies for such troubles, but never obtained mare than temporary relief. The trouble was aggravated by constipation set- ting in owing to the stomach failing to do its work, and laxatives only y gave relief to the bowels and left the stoniach in worse conditions. The re- sult was .niy blood was .growing more I and snore anaemic, I did not sleep well at night and was growing des - pendent. I was in this wretched con- dition when a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Rink Pills. I 'gat ).three boxes and by the time they I were.finished there was some change for the better. This greatly encour- , aged ane and I continued taking- the l:i?la for some three months, by which time my stomach was all right again, .my.. blood good, nerves strong and life was 'again worth Baring. My advice to all who suffer from stomach trouble is to give Dr. Williams' PInk Pine a fair trial." De.
