Relieved by Enriching and Puri- fying the Blood. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and the treatment should be the same as for other forms of neuralgia. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat- ment. and the patient frequently sut- ters for years. So many cases of sciatica have been helped by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified in giV‘ ing this treatment a thorouin trial. Dr. Williams Pink Pills do not simply relieve painiâ€"they correct diseases caused by weak. watery blood. Thus they are beneficial in the treatment of even the most severe disorders. Their value in cases of this kind is slinwn by the experience of Miss Lizzie Free- man, Nogies Creek, Ont., who says:â€" “I was confined to bed for seven weeks with sciatica. What I suffered is almost impossible to realize. The doctor did all. he could for me, and yet I was not getting any better. and he told me the trouble was likely to leave me crippled. A neighbor who was in to see me, strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I de- Iclded to do so and after taking them for a while found they were helping me. I continued taking the pills until I had taken nine boxes, when I was able to walk as well as ever, and felt that I was fully restored. In view of what these pills have done for me I strongly recommend them to all sut- terers." If you are suffering from any con- flitlon due to poor, watery blood or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. \Vil- llams’ Pink Pills now and note how your strength and health will improve. The neW'sales tax will not increase the price of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, as the company pays the tax. You can still obtain the pills through any medicine dealer at 50 cents a box, or by mail, post paid, at this price, from TheflLWilliams‘ Medicine 00., Brock- ville, 011i. Flower Gems in Glass. Marvellous artificial blooms that re- semble Nature's finest specimens in every respect, except scent, are now being made by expert glass-blowers. Every part of a flower or plant is faithfully reproduced, from the long, delicate stems and colored petals to the almost invisible pollen. The first thing which the maker of these wonderful blooms does is to blow the petals from glass as thin and fragile as tlssue paper. The glass petals are then shaped and colored ex- actly like the natural ones. Some of the rarer plants cannot be easily reproduced, and often several experiments have to be carried out with different colors before a. really good imitation is obtained. These glass flowers are used exten- sively in museums, both to show de- tails of plant or flower» formation and as backgrounds for displaying speci- mens of birds and insects. So far has this branch of scientific glass-blowing been developed that it is practically impossible to distinguish the artificial blossoms from the real. ‘ Going, Going, Gone! In the midst of the auction a man came forward and whispered at some length to the auctioneer. Then he went back and mingled with the crowd. The auctioneer rapped on the table and announced: . "A pocketbook containing two thou- sand dollars in bills has been lost. If it is returned to me, the owner will pay fifty dollars reward and no ques- tions asked." There was a moment’s silence, and then a voice toward the back of the crowd was heard: “Fifty-one! " TORTURES 0F SCIA'I‘ICA Mother!

The Winter sun sinks in the west, And lengthening shadows slowly creep, And an the cares that day infest Fly fearfulfronithe darkness deep; While stars their silent watches keep. Outside while winds of Winter blow, And falls the curtain of the night, Our homely hearth with fire aglow And hearts all warm with love and light, Make Winter evenings glad and bright. The memory of thes: peaceful eves Will stir the heart in years to be, And when life’s hopes, like Autumn leaves, Wither and die, we still shall see These evening joys, in reverie. â€"Helen B.

The days are change- ableâ€"one bright, the next one cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby’s Own Tab- lets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The new sales tax will not in- crease the price of Baby’s Own Tabv lets, as the company pays the tax.

She found this man seeking shelter from the raln under a dyke. He re- fused to answer questions about him- self, and would not tell whence he came or Whither he was bound. “You seem to walk all day and go nowhere," she said; "when you wake up in the morning how do you shape your course?” People who turn their backs to the wind are the drifters of the world. They go hither and thither, wanderem upon the face of the earth; they create nothing, render no service, and Often- times go about thinking they are ill- treated. “I always turn my back to the wind," he answered. Usually the most worth-while peo- ple are those who have been forced to fight their way forward in the worldâ€" people who have kept their faces to- ward the wind and not their backs.

The Canadian Government invites people who are in search of a summer home to buy an island in Georgian Bay. There are some thirty thousand islands along the shores of that part of Lake Huron, and the islands vary in size from tiny eyots to islands many acres in extent. They are rocky and bear no great amount of vegetation, but many are ideal for summer camps. The price of an unoccupied island is twenty-five dollars plus ten dollars an acre.

The coin should fly from one hand to the other but so rapidly that a person standing directly in front of you cannot see its flight. As both hands close at the same time he will have some difficulty in guessing which hand contains the coin.
