Scientists now tell us that there is

search.
Foot ball statistics for the season just

improvement.
There never was, and never will be, a
universal panacea, in one remedy, for
all ills to which flesh is heir—the very
zature of many curatives being such that
'were the germs of other and differently
seated diseases rooted in the system of
the patient—what would relieve one i11,
in turn would aggravate the other. We
have, however, in Quinine Wine, when
obtainable in a sound unadulterated
state, a remedy for many and grievous
Ills. By its gradual and judicious use,
the frailest systems aro led into convales-
cence and strength, by the influence
which Quinine exerts on Nature's own
restoratives. It relieves the drooping
spirits of those with whom a chronic
state of morbid despondency and lack of
interest in life is a disease, and, by tran-
quilizing the nerves, disposes to sound
and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to the
notion of the blood, which, being
stimulated, courses throughout the
veins, strengthening the healthy animal
functions of the system, thereby making
activity a necessary result, strengthening
the frame, and giving life to the diges-
tive organs, which naturally demand
4nareased substance -result, improved
appetite. Northrrep & Lyman of Toronto,
have given to the pubiie their superior
Quinine Wine, at the usual rate, and,
gauged by the opinion of scientists, this
wine approaches nearest perfection of
any in the market. All druggists sell its.

A CHRISTMAS TALE OF OLD ENG
LANZ'.
'Twas in old England, long ago,
And merry wtis the tune;. •
The hells rang o'er tee distant ]tills,
In many a plettsttti t•hinte;
The yule log burned upon the hearth,
Anel through the house were sounds of
mirth.
The Squire was a mirthful man,
And yet at tinges, 1 wt en,
A look of sad nes, half subdued,
Upon his face was seen;
Ana often lo his joyous mood
This shade of sadness would intrude.
That night—it wus a Christmas night—
The guests were in the hall,
The holly with its berries fair
Was decking every gall;
And music from. the harp so sweet
Made pleasure's round of joy complete.
What made the Squire turn so pale,
As on the Christ nuts air
There rose without the manor halls
A voice so street and clear?
"'Vho sings without?" the squire said;
"Not her, not iter, for she is dead."
That quaint, old song, he knew it well;
She sang it Mimi as child—
That girl, sole daughter of his house—
'l'hat girl, so way ward, NV MI
.Who disappeared one Christmas night
Forever from her father's sight,
"Go, bring the sinner in," he said;
"I fain would see her face,"
The hall door opened, theca forte,
Still wearing bennc.y's grace,
Walked slowly in, with drooping head,
"My child!" was all the Squire said.
"Forgive, forgive!" the singer wailed,
And knelt down at his feet;
The guests, amazed, all gathered round,
'1'o hear her to a seat;
The Squire raised her, and in tears
Said, "Child, I've waited many years,.
'To say the word that now yon crave.
1\1y friends, the lost is found,
The dove's returned, her weary feet
Could find no standing ground;
The ark of safety gives her rest."
And then lie clasped her to his breast.
And all the guests cried out in glee,
Aud pressed the squire's htuul;
Tliis was the happiest Christmas night
In England's "uterrie" land.
Ahi would that all who're turned aside,
Would but come home at Christmas tide.

Nearly all infants are more -or less sub-

thrust through your kidneys?

When it becomes chronic it is one of the

Sufferers from it have been known to

The following are copies of letters writ-
ten the Dodds Medicine Company, of'I'o-
routo, the makers and distributors of this
wonderful proprietary medicine:—
"Gentlemen,—I have been troubled for
over two years with the first stages of
Bright's Disease. I have used other
medicines, but to no avail. I was so bad
that 1 passed blood. Doctors told me I
could get no relief. 1 hetird of the wonder-

Never Lost.
I lova to believe that no heroic sacrifice
is ever lost, that the characters of men are
molded and inspired by what their fathers
have done, that treasured up in American
souls are all the unconscious influence of
the great deeds of the Anglo-Saxon race,
from Agincourt to Bunker Hill. It was
such an influenoe that led a young Greek,
2,0110 years ago, when he heard the news
of Marathon, to exclaim: "The trophies
of Miltiades will not let me sleep."—James
A. Garfield.
It Stands to Reason.
That a man whn gives his whole and
undivided attention to one. particular
enbject should acquire a greater pro-
ficiency in it, than one whose energies
are expended in different directions.
This is true of the medical superintend-
ent, and his staff of assistants, at Lake-
hurst Institute,in their treatment of alco-
holism and kindred diseases. Every fresh
case adds to the experience of years, and
to the number of those successfully
treated. There is no sudden and danger-
ous deprivation of liquor; there are no
bolts and bars; the patient gives up the
drink habit almost t,nconseiously, and,
from that moment, to res the first step
on his upward career, commencing life
afresh under brighter auspices. For
pamphlet and terms address The Man-.
ager, Lakehurst Institute, Oakville, Ont.
Reason for Opposition.
"Do you believe in the annexation of
Canada to the United States?"
"Indeed I do not."
"Ah, you are a Canadian to the back
bone, I see."
"No, sir, I am an American residing in
Canada."

This popular fabric gives
perfect protection from cold
wind, frosty air and all
other wintry weather, be-

ments, and by looking for
the Fibre Chamois label on
them make sure of your
own winter comfort.
