But sometimes good watches
misbehave themselves because
•they can't help it.
They often do not get the care
they should. Dirt accumulates,.
-the watch gets erratic. perhaps
stops altogether.
Wit/am turn a watch like that
into a useful thnepiece again for
very little money.
We would take it apart -
clean it thoroughly, put it
together, and,hfuld it back
to you as good as new.
Repairs sent bsomail will have
our earliest attentiom We will
return it to you by mail postage
prepaid by us.

The Great Soffering al a

There is still a very prevalent:
belief that thetunatism is due to
cold or wet et eaffrier. This belief
de probably due to the fact that
when the ulood is thin and watery
there is an acute sensitiveness to
atmospheric conditions and a
change 'to wet weather left en
means it return of the excruciat-
iug pains. Rheamatism, howevereis
rooted in the blood, and it can
only be driven from the system
• byabuilding up and enriching the
1-"1elood. Hot bathe and outward ap
plications of .iiniment may give
temporary relief, hut cannot cure
'If the disease Is not attacked
through the blood, it simply far -
tens itself more thinly on the SyS-
• stein, arid the sufferer ultimate y
becomes hopelessly crippled. The
truah of this is proved by the
case •of Mrs. Frank Ford; of Cal-
gary, A It a., Mrs. Ford says "I was
almost heirless cripple from
rhcurnatisin. Itt „seemed to have
settled in every joint . My arms
and hands had to • be bandaged.
My ankles Were SO swollen that' I
had to use crueclies. After noctor

pital, but dld not derive any taind-
fit. I, I almost wished to um, ai.d.
1 felt sure 1 would be a lifelong
cripple. It was at this stage that
9. iriend who had been greatly
benefitted by Dr. Williams' Pink:
Pills urged me to try them. 1 be-
gan the use of Pills and ether tak-
ing them a few weeks the swell-

down and the pain was relimid
This greatly encouraged me and

the course of three months the
• cure was complete. I had thrown
away the crutches, could walk any
•where and do my own housework,
and I never felt (pettier in my life
than I do at the present time,
and all this is due to the use of
V. Williams' Pink Pills. I have
also given the Pills to my daugh-
ter who suifered from anaeinin
and she has geuned in flesh tend
become a strong, healthy girl.'

Entire Family
Stricken
With Cholera.
Youngest Child Died.
The chief eymptome of cholera are
vomiting, and purging occurs either
simultaneously or alternately, and are
usually sudden and very violent, and
the matter ejected by the stomach has
a bilioos appearance and a nasty bitter
taste. On the first symptom appearing
Dr. Fowler's Extract of WildeStrawbeny
should be taken, and the trouble cured.
Mrs. E. Slade, 376 Logan Ave.,
Toronto, Ont., writes • When I first
arrived in Canada, nearly four years ago,
my entire family was stricken with
cholera, from which the youngest child
died. 'Soon after a friend recommended
Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry,
and actiug on this advice I administered
• 15, 10 all who were suffering, with the most
gratifying results. Since that first at-
• tack my children have been abject
to stomach troubles, but on the first
symptoms I resort to "Dr. Fowler's,"
and it always brings relief. I have
immense faith hi this medicine, and
always keep a bottle on hand, Also
• I never fail to recommend it to anyone
who is similarly troubled."
When you ask for "Dr. Fowler's" see
that you get it.
It has been on the market for the past
• 70 years.
There is nothing ejust as -good."

THE I.THE OF

body, in the days of gasoline liturips
and stoves that gasoline will not
explode until its fumes have been
mixed with att least six parts of
atmospheric tur. Gasoline will
catch fire as quickly 'ae any liquid
known but let it alone and itwill
burn out, doing no damage and
leaving no( ,scar or sign of fire.
Mixed with air in proportions men
tioned it , is far more dangerous
than dynamite. No receptacle of
this liquid should ever be left un-.
corked. To dci so is to make the

than a powder magazine, This
matter of safely handling gasoioe
ie very easy, and no one should
