Dressing Wounds With Boling Oil
Contrast Between Past and Present
The Wonderful Advance of Science
f
Few people have any real idea of the
great advance in tate healing art, from
the pain -saving standpoint.
It is not many generations ago that
surgeons used to arrest bleeding by
searing a wound with the red-hot end of
an instrument like a large solder,
hog iron; and almost as recently the
tourniquet was inflicting indescribable
torture on those about to face the fur-
ther terrors of amputation.
Pitiful, indeed, must have been the
sufferings of wounded soldiers before
the day of Ambrose Pare, the great
French surgeon, who saw the brutality
of dressing wounds with boiling oil,
and was the first to substitute the more Patient is nearly 78, and there is not

A GIRL'S STRANGE EXPERIENCE.
Miss Elizabeth Wood, of 3 Topefield
street, Bolton, has detailed a strange
yet instructive experience. She says:
"I am a mill card tender. I showed
signs of eczema in my youngest days.
Directly I had been vaccinated, it
broke out on my face, neck and, arms,
and my head was literally covered w+th
sores. My parents had an awful time
with ane. The sores 'mattered,' and
spread, until I was completely disfig-
ured.
"Wo were terribly upset," interposed
her father, who was present. 'We
called in several doetors, but in vain,
for the blotches remeleed, and my
child in Iter agony wand >:e*ateh,

the disease would take tarn when
she was seven years old, but no c: a loge
came. We were then told we W( t.ld
have to wait till she was fourtden. We
began to look upon the ease as hope-
less. In all, we tried at least nine
doctors, and wasted a stivalt fortune.
"As I grew up," resumed. Miss Wood,
"I suffered more intensely. "On my
bad days I was positively ashamed of
my appearance, and very frequently I
had to stay away from my work,
Blotohed on the neck and face, and my
hair coming out .in •handfuls, I could
not mix even with my friends.
"Doctors were useless in my ease,
and we had to look out for some other
source of Telief. Nine months ago we
obtained a free sample of Zamel3uk,
and almost front the first there were
sies that Zam-Buk was something
more than a auere ointment or salve.

caused by a simple scratch from the
ronglt edge of an enameled utensil.
The sequel is so remarkable that it
had better be given in Sister Hannah's
own words:
"The eeratoh most likely had polaon-
ed the tissue. 1'he sure varied in ap-
pearance and size frcrin day to day, and
I feared it might turn into eczema.
This lastest three or four weeks, but
in as many days your Zam Buk cured
it completely. What I did was to wash
the parts, then apply Zam-Buk, I am
pretty sure had I not used your balm
I should have had a nasty, ulcerating
sore, very difficult to get rid of. My
Zam-Buk, the new healing balm, is an
equal advance upon all other methods.
In Zam-Buk has been discovered Na-
tu're's ideal balm for procuring new,
healthy skin, and dispelling pain and
disease. In recent years ointments,
salves and embrocations have always
had to face the objection either that
they were too coarse to enter the pores
of the skin, or that their ingredients,
when sufficiently refined to be absorb-
ed, were to harsh and irritating for
general home use. The advent of Zam-
Buk overcomes both difficulties.
When you consider that the skin
contains hundreds of thousands of
pores, every one of them leading to the
blood vessels underneath, you must at
once see how injurious and dangerous
it must bo to rub into the skin cint-
ntents containing rancid animal fats and
mineral substances - many of which
are poisonous. You need use such no
longer, for now in Zam-bule. you have
a balm or ointment composed of pure-
ly herbal essences; a balm so refined
and purified that even the delicate
skins of babies can absorb it and bene-
fit by it.; a balm which, unlike the
ointments of the past, owes no part
of its composition to either the animal
or mineral world; a balm which
viewed in every way is a natural her-
bal balm. `Lam-Buk is nothing more
nor less than a combination of healing
herbal juices and essences, prepared in
handy, useful, and concentrated form.
It is suitable for use in the nursery, as
well as in the kitchen. It is efficacious

The Milton Young Man Drowned in the
Valencia Wreck.
The above is a picture of John
Barr Clements, the only man from this
part of Canada to perish on the ill-fated
Valencia, off the British Columbia coast,
The young man, who was 29 years of
age, was the son of Mr. William Clem-
ents, formerly of Milton, but now of
Clarkson, Ont. HIe left home about
eight years ago. and had been travelling
up and down the coast on different ves-
sels, acting in the capacity of steward.
He was a waiter on the Valencia, on
which he was taking a trip merely to
fill in time.
In aletter received by his father
from a chum of his, the following is told
of•his death:
"I came away from the wrecked ship
about one hour before she went to pieces
on Wednesday morning on a little raft.
That was about 10.30 or 11 o'clock, Jack
was within a few feet of me when I got
aboard the raft. I cried to him to
come and he said, 'No, I am going to
stay.' Ho bade me good-bye as we got
away from the ship. The ship was fast
breaking up then. There was nothing
left, only the rails which ran around the
deck on which were standing about I0
people, So it is safe to say that Jack
went down with the ship."

at the University of Nebraska to dis-
cover the physical causes which produce
the opening and closing of flowers which
take place at certain hours of the day,
as for in•ttance the dandelion, the four
o'clock, the morning glory, the evening
primrose. the flax and many others of
similar character.
In the study light, humidity and water
content of the soil were eliminated as
possible physical factors, and it was
positively determined that beat is the
important factor in causing the opening
and closing of petals of all flowers which
bloom for more than one day.
While tight exhibited no influence on
such flowers, cold when properly ap-
plied could be made to check the open-
ing, or wizen opened heat could be applied
to maintain the flower in that condition
for an abnormal length of time.

A SPRING TONIC.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Make Rich
Red, Health -giving Blood.
Cold winter months, enforcing close
confinement in over -heated, badly ven-
tilated rooms - in the home, in the
shop, and in the school - sap the
vitality of even the strongest. The
blood becomes clogged with impurities,
the Iiver sluggish, the kidneys weakened,
sleep is not restful -you awake just as
tired as when you went to bed; you are
low spirited, perhaps have headache and
blotchy skin -that is the condition of
thousands sof people every spring. it
comes to all unless the blood is forfeited
by a good tonic -by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. These pills not only banish this
feeling but they guard against tho more
serious ailments which usually follow
-rheumatism, nervous debility, anaemia,
indigestion and kidney trouble. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills aro an ideal spring me-
dicine. Every dose makes new, rich,
red blood. Every drop of new blood
helps to strengthen the overworked
nerves. Overcomes weakness and drives
the germs of disease from the body. A
thorough treatment gives you vim end
energy to resist the torrid heat of the
coming summer. Mr. Mack A. Meuse,
Sluice Point, N. S., says: "I was so com-
pletely run down that I could hardly
work. 1 decided to try Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills, as I had beard them highly
spoken of, and a, few boxes worked a
great change in my condition. I ant again

and con recommend the pills to all weak
people."
It is a mistake to take purgatives in
the spring. Nature calls for a medi-
eine to build up the wasted force -pur-
gatives only weaken. It is a medicine
to act on the blood!, not one to act not

her gates. In round numbers she has to
pay nearly $8,000,000 to keep criminals
in check, for that is the sum paid out
oto her police, courts, prisons and pro-
secuting officers. It fails to include sto-
len property, losses due to the idleness
of criminals, losses to injured parties,
ate.
Serious crimes, such as burglary,
hoose -breaking, counterfeiting, etc., are

Arrestsg.
aro more frequent than form-
erly, and each arrest adds to the ex -
i penso and loss account of the city. Es-
; titnates put the bill of the city's ex-
penses as high as $10,000,000.
In other words, each taxpayer or head
of a household of five persons pays $0.8,1
a year for London's crime. Nor do these
millions make up the total loss. There
are the hundreds of thousands taken,
, consumed by the criminals, bidden away,
lost or destroyed. Add then to these the
1 antotiuts paid by private parties to pre-
; vent burglary, cte„ watchmen, caretak-
, era, burglar alarms, door and window
fastenings, safes, revolvers, life protee-
tors, dogs, eta, and one begins to get
a fairly good idea of what are the losses
due to crime in a large city.
A table prepared its London puts the
pollee and courts down for $914,900,000,
the prisons for $583,980, lost. property
for $1,216,625, loss by injuries, assaults,
etc., $973,300; loss in labor of' criminals,
etc., $1,187,960, or a total of $13,090,885.
These appalling figures cover often only
the well known items.
INFECTION FROM CATS.
The Glasgow correspondent of The
London Lancet writes as follows to his
paper:
"The bacteriologist for •the Burgh of
Govan, has issued an interesting report
on his investigations into the question of
diphtheria infection from cats. The cafe
were taken to the laboratory where their
throats were examined. Micro-organisms
from the throat were found to corre-
spond en every respect to those of the
human subject. In one ease the animal
bad been in the habit of sleeping in the
samo bed as the patient; in the other the
child had been carrying it in her arms
and kissing it as children frequently do
with domestic pets. Both cats bad been
ailing previously to the children becom-
ing affected. Of five eases of diphtheria
recently reported in Govan three patients
canoe from two families living in ad-
joining properties and two from a house
in a tenement directly opposite. In the
circumscribed area inclosing the back
courts of these buildings there had been
a stray cat which had eventually ob-
tained a home in one of the families af-
focted. The animal, when examined,
was found to be suffering from post-
diphtheritic paralysis of the legs."

His day's asignment was .the squalid slum,
Isis 'copy" lay in Ghetto and to dire;
T:h.e court„ the pushcart -alt the swarming
hive.
The refugee,, the "copper" and the "bum."
Yet to him lite was not a vale of gloom,
His kindly penal sweetened sordidness.
His jester's bauble put to ®light distress,
Like emissive souring 2brough a wretched
room.
And now he's gone. We hardly knew his
wamo--
,Airttet reporter, doomed to 3esbg type.
Yet, haply, when the round of work to done;
And pals swap Aeries over glass and pipe,
Some one may mention "Nosy" of The Sun,
Or smiling, speak of Gotstein. Such is tame.

Nowadays wise mothers do not dose
their children with harsh, griping cas-
tor oil or purgatives, nor do they give
then poisonous opiates in the form of
so-called soothing medicines. Baby's Own
Tablets take the place of these harsh
anti dangerous nuedioines, and the moth-
er has the word of a Government analyst
that the Tablets aro absolutely safe,
I3aby'e Own Tablets cure indigestion, con.
stipation ,colic, 'teething troubles, diar-
rhoea, simple fevers) and other little
ills of childhood,. An occasional dose
will keep children well. Mrs. R. E.
tong, I'eachland, B. C,, says: "I have
found Baby's Own Tablets unsurpassed
for teething troubles, breaking .up colds,
t educing fevers, and other ills, and they
snake a child sleep naturally. I now
always keep them in the house." Ask
