From End to End of Canada Dr.

There is not a nook or corner in.
Canada, in the cities, towns, villages
and on the farms, where Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have .not been used and
from one end of the country to the
Other people sound their praise. You
have only to ask your neighbors and
they can tell 703' of some run down
man, suffering woman, ailing youth
or unhappy anaemic gel who owes
their present health and strength to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The success
of this medicine is due to the fact that
it acts directly upon the blood, making
it rich and pure, and thus brings new'
strength to every organ and nerve in
the body. Mr. Andrew F. Webb, Mel-
anson, N.S„ tells what Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have done for him as fol-
lowat--"I was in a run down condltion
from overwork and what the doctor
called a nervous breakdown. My sis-
ter urged me,to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Aftr taking several bone i
I improved wonderfully and feel like a
different person. I Bleep well, eat weal,
and my nerves are stronger and with
confidence I can recommend these
pills to all weak, rim down people."
If you are suffering from any condi-
tion due" to poor, watery blood, or
weak nerves, begin taking Dr, Wil•
llama Pink Pills now, and note how
your strength and health will improve.
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, er they will be sent
by mail, post paid, at 60 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams Medicine ,Co.,
Brockville, Ont.

The Unsafe Average.
Along in the early thirties most
folks start taking on weight. Some of
the thinner ones. look on this tendency
to fill out w.ltba great deal of satis-
faction, especially if the scales tell
them bhey are approaching the aver-
age weight for persons of their age
and inches. Even physicians and
heal workers have often assumed that
those tables of average weights, which
we frequently see published on a card
beside the scales, are the normal
welgihts. They have considered that
the body machinery of adults 'who
were 20 per cent. or more above on- be-
low these figures was mere or less seri-
ously 'impaired.'
Now, however, the mortality expert•
epee of insut'arice companies has de-
monstrated that these average weights
may not be the best weights. Theis'
statistics show that when we, follow
these average figures we may just be
taking our ideas from the bad habits
of the big majority. In weights, as in
other things, -there is sometimes data
ger'in following the crowd.
For as persons' grow °idea they seam
inclined to take in more food, especial-
ly proteins and fats. They also be-
come less inclined to wholesome exer-
cise. 719 o4- i41ng.,inaohinery. is re-
gulied to dolnldre-work, but is kept
in less good condition to do 1t and a
breakdown of the organs 'concerned in
these processes is hastened.
The result is the great mortality
from diseases of the heart, blood 355 -
sols and kidneys. So many have neg-
lected the restriction of diet and the
exercise which can avert these trou-
bles that the getting up to the average
weight is not an approach tte normalcy.
Those average figures are padded with
the fat of those who have eaten not
wisely but too well.
For thepersonsabout thirty the
average weight . does represent . the
best weight. But persons beyond
thirty have the best chance of dodging
the Grim. Reaper if theyare below the
average weight. The amount below
the average which is most favorable
increases with advanoi'ng"ago. At fifty,
individuals, appear to he at their best
when their weight is ae much as,tllirty
to forty pounds• below the average.
On the other hand, an excess of
about ten pounds in weight above the
average produces the most favorable
rates between the ages of twenty and
twenty-four. This exeees tapers. off
until about thirty. Beyond that age,
it is clear from insurance statistics
that those under the average weight
have the best chance to live.
BABY'S GREAT DANGER,
DURING MOT WEINER
More little ones die during the hot
weather than -at any other time of
the year. Diarrhoea; dysentry, chol-
era infantum and atomach troubles
come without warning, and when a
medicine is not at hand to give
promptly the short delay too fre-
quently means that ` the child has
passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tab-
lets should always be kept in the
house where •there are young ohIl-
dren. An occasional 11ore of the Tab-
lets will prevent stomach anti bowel
troubles, or if the trouble comes sud-
denly the prompt use of the Tablets
will relieve the baby. The Tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or. by
