This new, red blood is supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which reaches every organ and every nerve in the body. Through the Use of these pills thousands of wo- men have found benetit when suffering from anaemia, indigestion, general weakness and those ailments from which women alone suffer. Among the many women, who tell of the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done them is Mrs. L. Hicks, Round Hill, N.S., who says: "I became very much run down tn health; my blood seemed weak and watery, rny strength failed, and I was so easily tired that my work Was a burden. I had often read about Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills and decided to try them, and I can truly say that after using three boxes I found my- self gaining, and my old-time energy and vitality was restored.

Wonderful Weapon Which Will Play a Big Pad in the Fight Against Disease. A weapon -of immense value in the great fight against disease has just been forged, It is a new kind of mic- roscope • which is as much stronger than the old kind as the big telescope in the Greenwich Observatory is stronger than a pair of opera glasses, writes a noted London physician. The tory of the pew microscope is a. romance, strange and faseinating• The things which, it may accomplish for all of us can as yet only be guessed at. But we know that they will be great things, amazing things. The' doctor's most powerful weapon against disea.se is his eye.. Once he can see where the danger lurks, what it is, what it looks like, he is half -way towards preventing it, Microscopes are the new eyes of medicine, with which our healers are able to keep a constant and a splendid watch on our deadliest enemies.

All our knowledge of the germs of disease, of diphtheria gernis, cf ty- phoid fever germs, of suppuration germs, we owe to the microecope. Once upon a time diphtheria killed about ninety out of every hundred children it attacked. Then, by, the aid of this great, all -seeing eye, a doctor found the germ of diphtheria. He studied its shape, its way of living. It 1ZSS Mk 1:31 'CSM lina Viik TM, Mall:la HEAL EDUCATION - •o •rmrasrommilammoi ow, BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health.

And since we found it, few—very few—children have died of the dreadful white growth that conies at the back of the throat and is called diphtheria. Once the serum has been given, the growth peels off and comes away, • •• Too Small to See. That is what the microscope has done for one disease, 'Unhappily, there are other diseases which remain to be conquered. One of them is measles. No man has ever yet seen the germ �f measles, and yet that germ certainly does exist, Measles kills far more children now than diph- theria. Measles is, therefore, a more deadly disease now than diphtheria. Why has the germ of. measles never been seen? The answer is that- it is too small to be seen. The microscope is not able to magnify it, to enlarge it sufficiently to allow the human eye to detect it. In the words of science the germ of measles lies beyond the microscope. It is "ultra -microscopic." • And here we come to the new micro- scope. The old microscope was thougla,t to be absolutely perfect. Manufacturers of the exquisite glass lenses with which it is fitted said that the very limit of its possible powers ,had been reached. Lenses could not be made to give a greater enlarge- ment. That idea has lasted for ten years.. Doctors thought that no further im- provedent was possible in their 'won- derful "eye," and so had given up all hope of seeing the very minute germs which probably cause measles and other familiar diseases, such as whoop- ing -coiigh, scarlet,feven, chicken -pox, and so on; for no one has yet fohnd the germ of these commonplace ail- ments. New Light on the Subject. But the new microscope brings new hopes with it. It is no less than :twelve and a half times- stronger th4 the old. one.

Tho new.anicroscofe, like most great ideas, makes use of h new principle Which is yet beautifully semple. Its discoverer, Mr. Barnard, whose name is 'known all over the world for his knowledge of this 'subject, thought that equally as impoftant as the glass lens in. a microscope was the light which enabled the eye of the person using the lens to see through it. Suppose that, instead of trying to make better lenses, one tried to use a better kind of light? He began to work on that simple Great, /Nods. Who an stay the winds of winter With. a gesture?

For many years now the Toronto Fair, or to use its more euphonious name, the "Canadian National Exhibi- tion," has been the mecca of Boy Scouts from all parts of Ontario., one day always being set apart by the management as Boy Scouts' Day. This year Boy Scouts' Day will be Satur- day, September 3rd, right in the mid- dle of the Exhibition season when everything will be at its be.st. Local Committees at Toronto are now work- ing,hard getting everything in shape for this big day and also for other fea- tures prior to it and following it, all of which have to do with the Scouts. One of the special features this year will be a Model Camp for about 600 Scouts. Troops from outside Toronto will be accommodated in this camp without charge except for food, and that they may arrange for to suit their own desires. Tents, blankets, ground sheets, cooking flies, cooking utensils, stoves, etc., will be there at their disposal, and special arrange- IllentS are being made for the supply eftlaiugredients of their mealsAte the 16We5t possible price. 4, The boys attending the model camp will have a special programme of ac- tivities for them every day, including both recreational and educational fea- tures.

And each evening the campers will form up and ' parade through a pOrtion of the Exhibition Grenade and adjacent sections of the city. over in your mind," He Explained. • An Irishman had a splendid -looking cow, but she kicked so much that it was impossible to milk her.
