“The cage was quite clean,” he said, “and contained nothing but a few short lengths of bamboo for holding water.

George Brown, D.D., who has passed many years of his life in the South Sea Islands endeaâ€" voring to stamp out polygamy and cannibalism among the natives, says in some parts of New Britain the natives have a custom of placing young women in strict seclusion be- fore marriage by imprisoning them in cages for several years until they reach a marriageable age.

It may arise from a variety of causes, such as lack of exercise, hard study, impro_- perly ventilated rooms or work- shops, imperfect assimilation of food, etc. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face, lips and gums; rapid breathing and palpita- tion of the heart after slight exer- tion; headaches, dizziness, some- times fainting spells and a tendency to hysterics, swelling of the feet and limbs, a feeling of constant tiredness and a distaste for food. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a cer- tain cure for anaemia, because they make new, rie’h blood7 which stimu- lates and strengthens every organ and every part of the body. The following is one among thousands of cases of this serious trouble cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Miss Georgina Raymond, St. Jerome, Que, says: “About a year ago my health began to give out. I suffered from headaches, heart palpitation, dizziness, and appeared to be threatened with a general breakdown. I was at this time employed in the family of a doctor, who, seeing m condition, gave me mvEdieine. I took this faithfully for some time, but with no benefit, and I grew much dis- couraged. Then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, saying that she had found a cure through them in similar conditions. I took her advice, got a supply of the pills and took them regularly for some time. Gradually I be- came strong, and in the course of a month or so I was again enjoying the best of health, and have not since had the least return of the old symptoms. I can heartily re- commend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to all weak girls.” Those who have suffered long and hope- lessly from torturing skin eruptions will read with interest this letter from Mr. T.

His first illness, which came when he was sixty, suggested to him that, havâ€" ing no relatives. he should provide for his burial himself, and as soon as he recovered he set to work and made himself a coffin, which he placed conveniently beside his bed.
