SUFFERERS FROJI THIS DISEASE ARE IN GREAT PERIL AND SHOULD NOT EXPERIMENT WITH OTHER 3IEDI- From the Sun, Seaforth, Ont. The kidneys are the most important organ. They must filter every drop of blood in the body. If the blood is weak the kidneys cannot do their work, so the blood is left unfil-tered and foul, and the kidneys are left clogged with poisonous impurities. Then come the backaches that means fatal kidney disease. Dontueg-lect that backache for a moment. Strike at the root of the very first symptoms of kidney trouble by enriching the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills--the only medicine that makes the blood rich, red and health- Mr. Win. Holland, of Seaforth, Ont., has proved that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure the most obstin- The Tiara of Saitaphernes. If the Oriental King Saitaphernes had, before his death, come in contact with tome soothsayer, and through him be-Bome apprised of the various phases of the Dreyfus case, he would, no doubt, have felt pretty sure that his name could not possibly be linked with events from Which his 'own life was separated by a lapse of more than two thousand years. Hia confidence would have been due simply to the fact that he and his contemporaries we."e sadly unacquainted With the practice? of shady art dealers and modern political pamphleteers. The disagreeable plight in which the Louvre Museum now happens to he is known through the whole artistic and archaeological world. A few years ago the officers of the Museum were offered a lot of antique, or supposedly antique, works of art, among them a magnificent gold tiara, covered with Greek designs and inscriptions, which was declared to have at one time reposed upon the head of King Saitaphernes. The price asked for the lot was two hundred thousand francs. The bargain was not easy to strike. The tiara might not be authentic; then, it was toward the end of the fiscal year and the appropriation at the disposal of the Museum for the enlargement of its collections was nearly exhausted. The thing went through, however; eminent archaeologists vouched for the authenticity of the antiques, declared to have been dug out near Odessa, on territory having belonged to the old kingdom of Pontus, and friends of the Museum advanced the purchase money. Thus there was no fear that the precious tiara might adorn the galleries of the British Museum, and remain as a reminder of a new victory of England oyer France. There were some sceptics, however, who were not quite, convinced that the articles purchased iy the Louvre were quite so old as they were claimed to be; who believed, even, that their age might be expressed more accurately wi< i. yith two,' than The piece wa» entirely spurious and most hu-miliatingly modern. The controversy went on for a while, for the tiara had its defenders as well as its traducers, when suddenly a man appeared who rxHaj:re<! ■ "Me, me, adsum qui feci!" His nam, CRAMAHE COUNCIL.

Another claimant had Appeared for the fatherhood of the antique, a Russian Jew by the name of rSouchomowski. He was sent for. came to Paris at the expense of the French au-.horities, and seems to have satisfied the learned Academician that all the (lesigi and inscriptions of the tiara were copie bv him from books of archaeology, SU] nlied to him by people who, though 1 was ignorant of their purpose, simply <■. tended to victimize some of the leadir European museums. Before he make his final report, M. Clermont-Ganneau his t for, e of w mlney he the final test, and of its result there-seems to he hut little doubt. In the meantime Rouchomowski takes advantage of his unexpected and newly-ac-quired celebrity to treat the Parisians to an exh; ;tion of his truly admirable C&B\i "Dreyfus? Well, it happens that the friend who enabled the Louvre by a loan (shall we call it timely or untime lv?) to add the tiara to its collection* eras Monsieur Theodore Reinach, the author of a well-kn ,un History of Mith-ridrtcs, that the genuineness of the object was vouched for by his brother, Salomon Reinach, and that both are brothers af Joseph Reinach, whose active campi ' To f Drey well r porter of the Sun he freely g; particulars of his case: "I have suffered from kidney trouble for about two years," said ' Mr. Holland, "Sometimes the backache which accompanied the trouble would be so severe that I would be unable to work and I have often suffered severely for weeks at a time. I tried a number of medicines said to be a cure for kid-uey trouble, but I found nothing to help me until on the advice of a friend I began the use 0f Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills soon began to make their good work felt, and after using them for about a month _ every vestige of the trouble had disappeared, and I haye not since had a single symptom of the disease. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved a great blessing to me and I am always glad to say a good word in theii favor." As a curative medicine Dr. Wil hams' Pink Pills have never yet been equalled. They build up the blood and nerves, stive new strength aud enable the body to resist disease. Among the complaints cured by these pills are rheumatism, nervous disorder, paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, indigestion, anaemia, lung troubles, and the troubles that make the live.- of so many women miserable.

For about thirty years I was troubled with eczema, and could not obtain . any cujre. I was so unfortunate as to have j blood poison, and this developed into eczema, j the most dreadful of skin diseases. " I was so bad that I would get up at night and scratch myself until flesh was raw and flaming. The torture I endured is almost j beyond description, and now I cannot say j anything too good for Dr. Chase's Ointment. | It has cured me, and I recommend it because I know there is nothing so good for itching | Dr. Chase's Ointment, 6o cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates and Co., Toronto.
