You are plainly told that the Kid- Iteys are sick. Booth's Kidney Pills cure R11 Kidney ills. Mrs, Thomas Wanless, of Main St., Blyth, says : "I had euffered with a number of symptoms of kidney trouble for the pest two yea's and very often found difficulty in getting anything that would relieve me. My back was tender and a heavy dull pain would cone in my sides and extend around my body. Headaches and spells of dizziness were frequent and Icould find no relief, The urine plainly told the disordered state of the kidneys and the kidney secretions were greatly die - ordered and frequent. Booth's Kidney Pills were advertised, and procuring a Mix at Mr. Hamilton's I commenced treatment. They seemed to benefit me from the first and it was a compara- tively short time when the pails had left my heck, The kidney tocretj000 wee regulated, the nrine cleared and the headaches and spell» have not troubled me since."

The only nourishment that bread affords is that which the flour contains. Bread baking is merely putting flour in appetising form. Flour making is merely putting the nu- tritious part of wheat in shape for bread making. Good milling is the kind that takes from the wheat all that is nutritious, nothing else. Royal Household Flour is made from carefully selected Manitoba Hard spring wheat. Every pound is almost a pound of food; Clean, white, pure and nutritious. It goes farther, does better baking and is more satisfactory in every way than any other flour. Your grocer knows he cannot keep store so well without Ogilvie's Royal Household.
