"I feel it my duty to testify to the
benefit I have received from the use of
Psychine. While travelliug in New On-
tario conducting special meetings I con-
tracted a vory bad cold, which gradual-
ly developed into Bronchitis of the
worst form. 1. was advised to try
Psychine, which I did, and after using
but a few bottlon I was completely re-
stored to health. I recommend this
wonderful remedy to sufferers from
Bronchitis Gild other Gentiles,"
Later: "I wioh to add that my voice,
since using Psychine, is stronger and
has nmelt more carrying power than it
had before I had bronchitis, and the
vocal chords do not tiro with speaking."

As the river steamers only have first

enger0, we thought it advisable to seed
our party forward in two sections.

1'0aching IOhaug to Bine the house bolas,
which 1s no small matter as the Chinese
do not mind spending a few days over
the minor details of an agreement, thus
saving a delay, On Monday, Nov,
251)1, the remainder of the party, hav-
ing finished the business iti Shanghai,
embarked on a Japanese steamer for
Hankow, The "Sang Yang Marti" is a
beautiful new steamer only having
previously made four trips, We had
the honor of being the first Anglo-
Saxon passengers. The staterooms are
larger and more comfortable than on
the Empress of China. Two cosy fire
places and n new Anerieal photo com-
pleted our happiness. The fart that
the etaptein was a Canadian, a native
of Novo Scotia, gave us a very
"honey" feeling. Capt. Scott has been
on the Yang Toe for 00 years aid his
stories and adventures were enjoyed by
all. Every eve0ieg was finished up
with a spirited song service, Theweather during our lower river trip
reminded ns vel;v much of the IOdhan
summer days in October at home. And
the party spent the greater part of the
days on the promenade deck, enjoyingthe beautiful scenery and playing
games which sometimes ended up with
arousing 11:01110 of the old fashioned
tag around the smoke stacks and
hatchways. One thing which im-
preesed u0 t'ery mucin WAS the number
of little boats coming out to the sae 10-
er every time it would stop and beg for
midi. Copt. Scott told us that many of
these families with five or six children
just lived on these tiny hoots and de-
pended on passing steamers fora liv-

is in connection with the Scotch Mis-
sion, The girls are being taught many
very useful things, the lace work they
do is really beautiful.
Before the captains of our boats would
start out, some of the old heathen rites
had to be observed, which consisted of
the burning of incense, the killing of a
rooster and sprinkling of the blood on
the haat, amid the almost deafening
din of drums, tin pans and fire crack-
ers, which ceremonies were supposed
to ensue us a safe journey by putting,
the spirits in good humor and driving
the evil ones away, So;Dec.1011, with
fine weather 0101 fair breezes, our gal-

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Pulls So Hard on the Stomach
It Must Have Help
The stress an l strain of the strenuous
life in both city and country makes
stomach troubles. Five people suffer
today where one did ten yea10 ego
with sick headache, dizziness, flatu-
lence, di0trrss after eating, specks be-
fore the eyes, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness and the many other
synnploms of indigestion,
All who aro suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at, least taro
out of 01000 in Blyth and Other towns,
should use Mi -oma 010/00011 tablets,
Nothing else is as safe, yet effective ;
nothing else can be so thoroughly re-
lied upon to relieve all troubles from
indigestion as Mi-o-na.
So reliable is .Mi-o-na that ,J. M.
Hanilton, with every 50 cent box lie
sells, gives a guarantee to refund the
money unless the remedy cares,
