STERN REMINDERS 0F RHEUMATESM The Trouble Must be Treated Through the Blood. Every rheumatic sufferer should realize that rheumatism is rooted int the blood and that to get rid of it itt must be treated through the blood. The old belief that rheumatism was caused by cold, damp weather. is now exploded. Such weather conditions may start the pains, but it is not the cause. Liniments and outward appli- cations may give temporary relief, but that is all they can do because they do not reach its sources in the blood. The sufferer from rheumatism who experiments is only wasting time and money in depending upon such treatment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rooted. Treat this disease through the blood and you will {.0011 find relief. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills act directly on impure, weak blood; they purify and strengthen it, and so act on.’the cause of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J. MacPherson, RR. No. 5, Car- digan, P.E.I., says: “About three years ago I was attacked with rheumatism. iI began taking Dr. Williams' Pink ’Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I am in better health than before. 'I also know of an old lady acquaint- ance who was badly crippled with rheumatism in her arms and legs, and who sufi’ered very much. She, too, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and is lnow able to do her housework. I tell gyou this in the hope it may be of bene- fit to some other sufferer.” v No doubt the parent who had twins christened Cherubim and Seraphim, lbecause, as he explained, “they con- ftinually do cry,” was proud of his ‘cleverness; but he could scarcely ex- pect his ofispring to “rise up and call him blessed,” any more than the man jwhose five children had to sign their names Imprimls, Finis, Appendix, Sup- plement, and Erratum. Equally unfortunate were infants launched into the world as Not-VVaut- ed James, Is-It-Maria? and That’s-1t- ,Who’d-Have-Thought-lt. Even Odious Heath and Troublesome John Sims could afford to smile at such labels while deploring their own. while it was without malicious intent that the parents of an American named Cum- ber christened him, as their fifth, Quintus. Naturally, his political op- ponents could not resist referring to him in print as Mr. Q. Cumber. While some parents exhibit too much ingenuity at the baptismal font, others seem to be singularly lacking in that virtue. One man called his sons, in order of birth, One Stickney, Two Stickney, and Three Stickney; and his daughters, by way of numerical variety, First, Second, and Third Stickney. You can procure Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. Remarkable Christian Names It is one of the minor tragedies of life that a man is allowed no voice in the choice of his baptismal name. The two children of another parent were christened A150 and Another, While the progeny of a Mr. and Mrs. Frost were known to an amused worlr’ as Jack Frost, \Vinter Frost, White as Jack Frost, \Vinter Frost, White Frost, and Early Frost. Vernal Greenwood, with its poetic suggestiveness, is pardonable, and partridge Roast has an appetizing flavor; but what shall we say of Mr. Bull, who had his firstborn dubbed ‘Wild, and of Mr. Keye, whose infant son was branded Donne Keye, in hon- or ot his mother‘s maiden name. | A glance through the registers at Somerset House will reveal hundreds of curious names, says an English newspaper.

In school this type of child is a continual worry to the teacher, especially in the imajority of schools Where there is llittle or no provision made for grad- ing the children according to their general intelligence or the progress they make in their studies. Happily our Public Health and Education authorities, in conjunction with the Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene, are taking active measures at present to deal with mental defectives at every stage of Uprigl gone spirati nothrin fice. 4 life. Through the medium of physi- cians and trained nurses, surveys of the mental condition of school chil- dren are being made all through On- tario in co-operation with the Depart- ment of Education, and the Public, Health Nurses stationed throughout the Province are also reporting all cases of mental defectives cf pre- school age, with notes as to the men- tal conditioTn of the parents, home inâ€" fluences and surroundings, etc. In Toronto, important work along thesel lines is bering carried on By such agencies as the psychiatric clinic at the Toronto General Hospital, medi-l, cal inspection of schools and social workers, While mental hygiene com- mittees are actively engaged in Ot« tawa, St. Catharines, London, Wood- stock, Wiansor, 'St. Thomas, Guelph and Kingston. The main purpose at present is to get an approximate esti- mate of the number of mentally de- fective children and adults in the province, and from this a general idea 1015 the organization that is necessary lto effectively grapple with the situa- ltion. It has already been definitely found out that thousands of mentally defective people are at large through- out this Province, many of whom are earning their own living. These peo- ple cannot be kept in institutions, nor do they come under the jurisdiction of Homes for the Feeble-minded such as at Orillia, but nevertheless they are in great need of supervision and education. The great question is to know just where these mental defec- tives are employed, at what kind of Ark Smith; Britannia Bottle smiling across the page at Jocose Ann Rey- nolds and Affablity Box; and Happy Ephraim Jiggins‘ with Virtuous Jane Spurgeon; Man Friday Wilson and Merry Christmas Filmett look on en- viously. Names of great warriors and states- men are associated with the most un- warlike and unpolitioal of surnames. Thus we find Arthur \Velilesley Water- loo Cox fraternizing on the same page with Napo‘leon-the-Great Brown! and Richard Coeur de Lion Tyler bridging the centuries to compare notes with Robert Alma Balaclavia Inkerman Se- bastopol Delhi Dugdale, whose father was a tailor. John Redvers Buller Thomas and Ezekiel Methuen Macdonald Baden- Powell Williams owe their names to the Boer S‘Var; while the parents of King David Haydon, _Martin Luther One Unhappy man was condemned to go through life labelled Ananias; and in Norfolk there was living not long ago a man who signed his name Mahershahalhashbaz.

Her use of them leads her to believe there is no other medi- cine to equal them for any of the many minor ailments of childhood. Concerning them Mrs. Eugene Bois- vert, East Aldfleld, Que, writes: “My baby was terribly constipated, but af- ter the use of Baby’s Own Tablets he is entirely well again. I am so well satisfied with the Tablets that I lose no opportunity in recommending them to other mothers.” The Tablets are sold by medic‘ ie dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. Vocational and Extension Educa- tion is one of the most needed reâ€" forms. In an up-to-date scheme for any education of this kind that the Government may undertake, there are four measures that should be given special attention. The first is that of the rehabilitation of industrial cripples; the second is to care for boys and girls between 14 and 18 years of age, who are compelled to go to work ’but are entitled to a great- er amount of education; the third is the training of special teachers to take charge of part-time and other vocational schools; the fourth meas- ure is to train foremen in industrial plants, and this can be done through evening schools if properly qualified teachers can be obtained, By such a comprehensive scheme, at least a' beginning will be made in dealing with a social problem that needs the earnest attention of all good citizens, and which will require the united efforts of bovh Government and people if the race standard is to be improved. rAl‘he record of crime at the present time is some indication of what has to be done in mental hygiene. names for their children, there are others who must have a long string of them.
