TUBERCULOSIS OF THE BONES AND
JOINTS.
Wo are accustomed to think of tuber-
celosis as synonymous with "consump-
hen," Mutt is to bay, as a diseaae ••f
the lungs; but there aro many other
terms, all of which rens. be and often
are oceenuptutled with wasting of flesh,
a' "coltsuroptton." There is, indeed,
nlnic•st no organ or tissue in the body
which Ls exempt from attack by the
berm of tuberculosis, although the
most olluunon scuts of the disease are
the lunges, the larynx and (ho joints.
Bono and joint tuberculosis, especi-
ally, is of very frequent occurrence lit
the young, more parlicularly in the
children of the very poor and those
who live in dark, damp and ill -voile
tenet houses, or in places where tuber-
culosis of the lungs Ls common.
These two forms are very apt to merge
Into each other, as the part of the bone
ordinarily involved is the end which
enters into the forinallon of the joInl,
and the disease readily extends Irorn
that to the joint structures.
The starting point for the disease is
usually a sprain or bruise, snmetunes
rc slight as scarcely to be r. membered
when the teouble becomes firmly estab-
li,in'J and one begins a search for the
cause. The injury does not cause the
tuberculosis, but IL affects the vitality
and resisting power of the injured part,
and so gives an opportunity for the de-
velopment cf the germs in ono other-
wise predisposed to it by weakness of
constitution.
in the bone, tuberculosis Is manifest-
ed ley the formation of nodules -little
lumps --ter a general spindle -shaped en-
Ittrgement of the affected bone. In the
rusts it begins as a soft, boggy ewe!.
ling, most apparent in a euperticial
joint, such as the knee, where It is
called "white swelling." The joints
most frequently atacked are the hip,
knee and spinal column.
The treatment of bone and joint tuber-
culosis Is the same as that of tubercu-
ksis of the lungs, namely, a life in the
open air -day and night -end abundant
nourishment -eggs, milk, cream or
ol•ve-oil. Children with tuberculosis of
the tones or jeinls are believed to do
biller at the seashore, whereas rersons
with consumption of the lungs are ad -
%is d 10 go to the mountains. In civ
Ther me,the open-air life is the es-
senned thing.

ment I e

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Sciatica is neuralgia of the scintic
nerve. Its origin is generally rLeuniJl-
ltsm and is the direct result of taking
cold. For Ibis reason the disease is
commonly known as ". ciatic rheulna-
tisni."
There is only one thing more pain-
ful than i•ciatica and that is the treat-
ment of it, as practLsed. The sicken-
ing burning of the flesh is only one of
the forms of cruelty eniptoyed by the
cid school doctors, and all too often
this is entirely vain for the relief gain-
ed Ls but temporary.
It is n scicntillc fact That the major-
ity of sciatica cases result from ex-
posure to cold when the patient is in
pn anaemic or bloodless condition, 'n
which the nerve is literally starved. It
needs no argument to show any rea-
scnablo person that a stared nerve
cannot be fed by the application of a
hot iron to tate outer flesh. It may
deaden the sciatic pain for a time, but
it will not cure ociaticn.
Asolule rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment. (lest and Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, which actually make
new blood and thus feed the alerted
nerve, will cure most cases.
Mr. I1. \V. Await is one of the lead-
ing merchants of Ilcmford, N. S. A
few years ago he was a great sufferer
from this excruciating trouble. Ile says:
"The attack was so severe that I had
been off work for sono time. The
cords of ivy legs were alt drawn up
and I could only lfipp along with the
aid pf a stick. The pain 1 suffered was
terrible. 1 was in misery bout day ' and
night. Every movement caused me
such pain as only those who have been
tortured with sciatica know. 1 was
treated by several doctors, but they did
not help me a bit. In fact 1 almost
began to think my condition was hope-
less, when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were
brought to my notice. 1 got a half
dozen boxes. 1 had used the entire
quantity before I found any benefit. But

Sciatica Is stubLorn in resisting treat-
ment and the patient often suffers for
years. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not
simply relleve'tho pain. They cure the
disease caused by poor watery blood.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

UJ "GRUEL."
Peculiar I'uninhn►ents Meted Out 111 the
Array - llic Most
Dreaded.
Not one of seven al friends among
Army olrlcers whom the Witter has con-
ulted on the subject can throw any
fight on the Mysterious measures taken
1 y the War Office in conneclwn with
the officers of a certain famous light
cavalry regiment which have cauased
u great deal of discussion Lolls in and
out of Service circles. Five ofllcers
cavo ' en suddenly placed on half -
pay Wie-eut any reason Leing assigned,
though, at the same tine, these folding
extra -regimental appointments have
been permitted to retain them, says
l ondon Answers.
MYSTERIOUS METHODS.
Truly the War Office moves in a my-
sterious way in its disciplinary lne-
lh0d6 With the commissioned ranke.
One of the duties devolving on an offi-
cer commanding any unit is the pre-
paration at certain periods of that bug -
Lear of the regimental officer -the con-
fidential report. In this document the
colinel puts on record his own opinion
of the ofllcers serving under hint -not
only In their military capacity, but also
in their private chs cter.
Whereas, according to the spirit of
English justice, every citizen is assumed
(a be innocent till he lens been proved
guilty, the British officer not only has
LC opportunity of defending Himself
against any unfavorable remarks in
the confidential report, but lie is even
denies' the knowledge of what the said
remarks amount to. The cenfldential
report passes straight from the com-
manding officer to the War Office. The
commanding officer is but human, and
any errors and omissteps on His part
may be very detrimgata l to the pros-
pects of his subordinate, who is per-
fectly helpless in the matter.
Placing upon halt -pay is a very or-
dinary disciplinary measure, and may
be applied to all commissioned ranks.
It will be remembered that a short time
r.go a world-famous general was placed
Caafliter-1haulf-pre head n o
lSiB,$iscreet
p chi. An fficer on
half -pay may be brought back to the
Active List et any tine; but if placed
op retired pa • the Army has done with
him for lt°°JJ.
The difference between the two is
not altgys understoee by the general
public. half -pay is what its name im-
plies; wlierea4is h oMcer on retired pay
draws the full emoluments attaching
to his rank, provided he has put in the
neces; ry years of service. 'thus: A
colonel's pay is LI a day. On half -
pay he would! draw 10s. a day; where-
as on retired }lay, always provided that
he had qualified by length of service
(Thirty years), he would receive his
£365 a year. -
LOSING A YEAR.
To the civilian mind, when an om-
cer is sentenced to lose one sears seni-
ority but little Is implied; but this pun-
ishment is far more than 1t looks. For
example, a lieutenant is ordered to
lose one year's seniority. This most
probably miens that three or tour of
itis juniors will pass over his head, and
i e steps we of tl mad, to
iLS pit reale `[i iii 1150of seni-
orily
.an
work out at more like three
sears than one by the time he receives
Ihe rank of captain. \\'hen the time
conies for his motors conirntssion he
will probably have suffered the loss of
the cquilalent of six or seven years'
service as his A1'(ny rank stands; and
while lie is growing old as a senior
captain or joeieLr major, those who
passed oS-r i end when 1114,1,t that
original one year's seniority are already
high it [fro lid.
T Q ails of hit Increasing loss of
senior)• \vi be more easily under-
stood when It Is recollected that in
military life the higher ono goes Inc
fewer ere the billets; and to our young
subaltern may Le shelved as a captain
under the age hail, instead of remain-
ing in the Service for the greater part
cel his life. Observe, In an erdinary re-
giment of eight companies there nre
0110 colonel, two majors, eight captains
and sixteen lieutenants. So that the
less of only one years' seniority at the
slate may be a most serious matter.
Some years ago n ruttier common
form of minor punishment was to trans-
fer offending officers to regiments on
foreign service. bull the custom has
largely deed out. Foreign service, with
its increased) comforts and easy end
luxnrtous transit, has ceased to be
leaked upon as a hardship.

Other modes of punishing omeers are
cf a mere serious nature. Sometimes

WEST AFRICAN BETROTHALS.
In some parts of West Africa the girls
have long engagements. On the day
cf their birth they are betrothed to a
baby boy a trifle older Than themselves,
and at the age of twenty they are mar-
ried. Tho girls know of no other way
of getting a husband, and so they are
quite happy and satisfied. As wives
lacy are patterns of obedience, and the
marriages usually turn out successes.
ULCERATED LEG AND ANKLE.
Healed by 7<am-Buk.
A common result of an injury some-
times of even a tiny scratch is chronic
ulceration, the skin disease that eats
deepest into the tissue and is inose
painful, weakening and obstinate. UI-
cerations are brought on often (especi-
ally in the case of women) by excessive
standing or kneeling. Mrs. J. E. Berry-
man of 91 Catharine St. N., Hamilton,
QnLl says; "1 suffered with a badly In-
garnetf end ulceratee leg and ankle and
used one remedy after another with no
material benefit. My leg was swollen
in some places to bursting and day and
night 1 suffered severe pains. At this
stage my husband prevailed upon Rho
preparations re
to leave off all other p p Irons and
use 7,am-Buk. This 1 did. Aller a few ap-
plications the swelling in the leg was
greatly reduced and the ulcer looked
healthier. I persevered with Za►n-Buk
until the swelling was banished and
the pain and inflammation entirely re-
moved. %am-Buk has effected a cure
when other remedies failed."
