" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor
for over thirty years. It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn-
ing gray."—Mrs. F. A. Soule,

There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer's Hair
Vigor—it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
But graduallythe old color
comes back, -all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
The hair stops failing, too.

Lightning Remedy for Cramps.
Some people have cramps pretty often,
others only now and again. But when

drops in sweetened water and the pain
is gone. Buy a bottle of Nerviline to-
day, and keep it handy, Nerviline is a
common household necessity and only
costs 25.

total deafness, he had been cured by in-

one always brings -quick relief, and is
warranted to give lasting satisfaction.

capable of affording. Price $1.00, small

son, near Woodstock. John King was
the chief sufferer, it being found neces-
sary in his case, according to the Wood-
stock Express, to destroy three hundred

How to Beautify the Complexion.
To have a soft, smooth skin, free from
eruptions and pimples the blood must be
healthy and pure. Ferrozone invigor-
ates enfeebled blood, and cleanses it of
all impurities and poisons; it brings
color to the lips and cheeks, brilliancy to
the eyes, 'whitens the teeth and sweet-
ens the breath. No tonic compares
with Ferrozone in rapid action and per-
manent results. Try it. Price 50e. at
druggists, or Polsou & Co., Kingston,
Ont., sold A. L. Hamilton.

Temperance Song.
Arranged and sung by Rev. Richard Hobbs.
TUNE OF 'NELLIE GRAY.'
In a low and vile tavern, mid the scenes of vice and crime,
I have thrown many precious hours away;
Olt I look with pain and sorrow, on that worso than wasted time
And I wish I had never gone astray.
GROUTS—
For I'm happy all the day, since I throw the glass away,
And I'll never take to drinking any more,
With water from the fountain flashing iu its sunny ray,
I have health and I've happiness in store.
Let the drinkers in the tavern in their wild and drunken glee,
Shout the praise of the rosy god of wino;
But to sing the praise of water as it sparkles full and free,
Let that glad and cheerful task be mine.
With the lark at early morning, I can sing a cheerful song,
Or at night when the nightingale is heard;
Let me listen in the meadow where the river sweeps along,
To the voice of each water -drinking bird.
Iu the dewdrop on the flower, or the heavy sounding sea,
Or the stream leaping down the mouutaiu glen;
There is beauty none can barter, and it all belongs to me,
I'm the richest and merriest of men.

—There has been a serious outbreak
of hog cholera in the vicinity of Hick-
son, near Woodstock. John King was
the chief sufferer, it being found neces-
sary in his case, according to the Wood-
stock Express, to destroy three hundred
hogs by burning. His pens were also
ordered to be destroyed. D. S. McDon-
ald, about three miles from Hickson,
lost five hogs in one day.
How to Beautify the Complexion.
To have a soft, smooth skin, free from
eruptions and pimples the blood must be
healthy and pure. Ferrozone invigor-
ates enfeebled blood, and cleanses it of
all impurities and poisons; it brings
color to the lips and cheeks, brilliancy to
the eyes, 'whitens the teeth and sweet-
ens the breath. No tonic compares
with Ferrozone in rapid action and per-
manent results. Try it. Price 50e. at
druggists, or Polsou & Co., Kingston,
Ont., sold A. L. Hamilton.

Temperance Song.
Arranged and sung by Rev. Richard Hobbs.
TUNE OF 'NELLIE GRAY.'
In a low and vile tavern, mid the scenes of vice and crime,
I have thrown many precious hours away;
Olt I look with pain and sorrow, on that worso than wasted time
And I wish I had never gone astray.
GROUTS—
For I'm happy all the day, since I throw the glass away,
And I'll never take to drinking any more,
With water from the fountain flashing iu its sunny ray,
I have health and I've happiness in store.
Let the drinkers in the tavern in their wild and drunken glee,
Shout the praise of the rosy god of wino;
But to sing the praise of water as it sparkles full and free,
Let that glad and cheerful task be mine.
With the lark at early morning, I can sing a cheerful song,
Or at night when the nightingale is heard;
Let me listen in the meadow where the river sweeps along,
To the voice of each water -drinking bird.
Iu the dewdrop on the flower, or the heavy sounding sea,
Or the stream leaping down the mouutaiu glen;
There is beauty none can barter, and it all belongs to me,
I'm the richest and merriest of men.
