If I had, perhaps 1 should have been afraid of you.” Dr. Lesber bade him farewell, and, full of delight at the prospect of a glorious- holiduy, the boy went down with them to King’s Rest.

They are, however. equally careful not to wet their feet, Their cure of their feet is not altogether due to the fact that the soles of their shoes are made of pasteboard and liable to be injured by soaking, but also because tlhey believe that sore feet' are brought about by, getting them damp. flflfis fear of the Chinese of rain storms has had a peculiar effect on their mobs and armies. At the time of hhe Inassacre of 1870 at Tien Tsin the mob, after it had burned the cathedral and convent, had destroy- ed the orphanage of the Sbters of Charfiy and had Inurdered the con- s-ul, all the sisters and severalpriests, started t0\vard the other settlenuent, deternfined to put an foragners to death.

When the stomach loses its craving for food. and the power to digest it, the person so afflicted is both mentally and physically in a condition of wre‘tohedness. The symptoms of the disorder are. muniâ€" fold. and among them may be noted. a feeling of weight in the region of the stomach. sick headache, offensive breath, heartburn, a disagreeable taste in the mouthI irritability of temper, disturbed sleep, etc. The cone diitjon is in fact one of slow starva- tion of the blood, nerves and body, and on the first symptoms treatmenti through the use of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills should be sought. Mr. \Villiam Birt, a well known blacksmithl at Pisquid,‘ P. E. I., is one who suffered for years, and relates his experience for the benefit of similar sufferers. Mr. Birt says :â€""For many years I was a victim of indigestion, accom- panied by nervousness, palpitation of the heart and other distressing symp- toms. My appetite was irregular, and what I ate felt like a weight in my stomach; this was accompanied by a feeling of stupor or sleepiness, and! yet. I rarely enjoyed a night’s sound sleep. \Vhen I would retire a creeping! sensation would come over me, with‘ pains and fluttering around the heart, and then when I arose in the morning, I would feel as tired mud fatigued me I did bet-cure I Went to bed. It is needless to say that I was comtivnually baking medicine, and tmiied, I think, almost everything nec‘ocmmended as a cure for the trouq bin. Occasionally I got temporary relief, but the trouble always came back, usually in a still mcire aggra- vated form. All this, of course, cost a great deal of money, and as the expenditure seemed useless I was very much discouraged. One day one of my neighbors. who had used Dir. Willinms’ Pink Pills with much benefit, advised me to try them, and I decided to do so, thinking never- theless, that it would be but an- other hopeless experiment. To my great gratification. however, I had only been using the pills a few weeks when I felt decidedly better, and things begun to Look brighter. I con- tinued taking the pills for several months, with the result that my health was as good and my digestion better than it had ever been. One of the most flattering results of the treatment was my increase in weight from 125 pounds to 153 pounds. It is more than a year now sinCe I dis- continued the use of the pills and in that time I have not had the slight- est return 0113 the trouble.
