Deafness.
In spite of all that science has done
to preserve or restore the special
senses, it is a sad fact that deafness
continues to increase, and that medical
methods for its relief have been very
disappointing. Some cases of slowly
growing deafness have been relieved
when they have been taken .in hand
immediately; those who delay and con-
tent themselves with saying, "I realiy

London Pride.
There was a haughty maiden
Whb lived in London Town,
With gems her shoes were laden,
With geld her silken gown.
"In all the jewelled Indies,
In all the scented East,
Where the hot and spicy wind is,
No iady of the best
Can vie with rue," said None -so -pretty
As down she walked through London
City.
"Our walls stand grey and stately;
Our city gates stand high;
Our lords spend wide and greatly;
Our dame: go sweeping by;
Our heavy -laden barges
Float down the quiet flood
Where on the pleasant merges
Gay flowers bloom and bud.
Oh, there's no place like London City,
And Tut is s '.awn," said None -so -
pretty.
The fairies heard her boasting,
And that they cannot bear;
So off they went a -posting
For e1iame.i to bind her there.

sweep a floor without resting several
times. Again a doctor was called in
and he said the trouble was general
debility and nervous breakdown. The
treatment, however, did not help me,
and then one evening as my husband
was reading the paper, he came across
a case in many respects similar to
mine, cured through the use of Dr,
'Williams' Pink Pills. The next day
he got me a supply of the Pills, and
to their continued faithful use for
several months, I owe my present
splendid health. I may say that soon
after beginning the use of the pills I
felt a gradual improvement in my con-
dition, my appetite improved, I began
to feel rested after a night's sleep and
I gained in weight. My friends were
continually expressing surprise at my
improved condition, as. it was general-
ly believed I had become a chronic in-
valid. I always take a delight in tell-
ing them that Dr. Williams' Pink,Pilis
are responsible for my present good
health, and as. they have been a real
blessing to me I shall always continue
Ito praise them."
if you are suffering from any con•
dation due to poor, watery blood, or
weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills now, and note how
your strength and health will improve.
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or they will be
sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 by The Dr.

Fighting On.
"For fourteen years I have not had
a day's real health; I have wakened
sick and gone to bed weary; and I
have done my work unflinchingly. I
have written in bed, and written out
of it, written in hemorrhages, written
in sickness, written torn by coughing,
written when my head swam for weak-
ness; and for so long, it seems to me,
I have- won my wager and recovered
my glove. I am better now, have
been, rightly speaking,. since first I
came to the Pacific; and still few are
the days when I am not in some
physical distress. And the battle goes
on --ill or well, is a trifle; so as it
goes. I was made for a contest, and
the Powers have so willed that my
battle -field should be this dingy, in-
glorious ono of the bed and the physic
bottle."—Robert Louis Stephenson.
THE FALL WEATHER
HARD ON LITTLE ONES
Canadian fall weather is extremely
hard on little ones. One day is warm
and bright and the next wet and cold.
These sudden changes bring on colds,
cramps and colic, and unless baby's
little stomach is kept right the result
may be serious, There is nothing to
equal Baby's Own Tablets in keeping
the little ones well. They sweeten
the stomach, regulate the bowels,
break up colds and make baby thrive.

dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box
