One of the Worst Cases on Record Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. St. Vitus (lance is a nervous dis- ease chiefly alllicting children. There are a number of signs by which it may be detected such as a. twitching of the muscles of the face, shaky hands, or u jerky motion of the arms, a trembling or n dragging of the legs, irritability and restlessness. St. Vitus dance is Caused by disor- dered nerves and bloodâ€"that is Why it is always cured by Dr. W-illituns‘ Pink Pills.

Her arms and legs would twitch and jerk, her face was drawn, and finally her left side became numb as th0ugh paralyzed. Her speech’ beCame thick and indistinct and she could neither stand still nor sit down. TWo doctors attended her. but gave her no benefit. The last doctor who attended her told me she would never got better, It was at this discouraging time we decided to give her llr. Williams" I’ink l’ills. After taking two boxes we could see an improvement; she could sleep bet- ter and the spasms were less severe.

Thousands of infants and children die through the hot weather months, because summer complaints and stomach troubles come suddenly, and mothers do not have the means at hand to promptly check and. cure them. In homes where Baby’s Own Tablets are used these little lives can be saved, and no home in the land where there are children should be without the Tablets. They promptly cure all stomach and bowel troubles and give relief to teething children, and the mother has a guarantee that they contain no opiate or harmful drug. You ‘can crush the Tablets to a powder and give them with perfect safety to a new born babe. Mrs. S. M. Black, St. Peters, N.S., says: “I have used Baby’s Own Tablets for tie ones Stiller. and I find them the best medicine I have ever tried.” All medicine dealers sell these ’l‘ab- lots or you can get them by mail at 25 cents a box by writing The.

A Russian traveller who recently made a tour through Manchuria on behalf of a scientific association gives a very intercsting account of the business usages in that province. He says there are in a Chinese busiâ€"‘ ness house neither proprietors nor employcs. All persons employed share in the profits of the undertakâ€" ing, During the year each member receives, at certain intervals. a kind of salary, Which, however, is meted out so sparingly as to be hardly sufâ€" 'ficient to supply the necessities of life. At the close of the year the ac- cumulated profits are divided. Very noteworthy. according to the state- ments of this traveller. is the excel)- tionnl honesty of Chinese merchants, fil the engagements they may have entered into. Thus. for instance. the ten branch offices of the Russoâ€"Chinâ€" ese Bank located in China have since their establishment no record of a single protested note. TO CLEAN PAINT. ’l‘hcy are good. The.

These preeminently healthy habits are in a great degree the reason why the King can be adduced to-day as an admirable example of the "sur- vival of the fittest.” PLEASURE IN SOCIETY. But while the then heir-apparent took keen pleasure in the vivacious society which naturally formed around him, he did not neglect the culture of statesmen and men of learning. Such were, of course, mostly his seniors in age, and many of them are now but landmarks of a vigor of years. The entire absence of any sort of political bias was not the least ad- mirable quality shown by Albert Ed- ward Prince of Wales, during his for- cession to the throne. He was a frequent, visitor at Hatfield and Haâ€" warden, and while Queen Victoria showed, not unreasonably perhaps, marked signs of favor towards the Tory minister, the versatility of character which marked the "Grand Old Man" appealed very strongly to the sympathies of the hcii‘~npparent. H'is relations with Lord Granville while his unSWei-ving regard for the Duke of Devonshire has been wholly unaffected by party vicissitudes. But although the Prince never alâ€" ‘ lowed himself to criticize publicly the ,nction of the government of the day, he would never sufier his personal friendships to be overshadowed by ‘any political eclipse.

SPIRIT OF LOYA LTY. Yet all this time relations between Marlborough House and Downingâ€" ’Street were of the most cordial charâ€" iacter, and no member of the govern- ment then or at any other Jtime could complain of any indifference or hosâ€" tilitsy from this exalted quarter. This spirit. of loyalty and staunch- :ness which King Edward has always shown to others is not perhaps the least of the claims which he is en- titled toâ€"day to exercise on the loyâ€" alty of his subjects. .
