Like thousands of other young girls throughout Canada, Miss Brownlee fell a victim to anaemia or watery blood, and for a time, as she says herself, feared she would never again enjoy robust health. Experiences like Miss Brownlee’s cannot fail to be of benefit to other pale and anaeâ€" mic girls, and for this reason she kindly consented to give a statement to the Sun for publication. "My illness,” said Miss Brownlee, "came on very gradually, and at first it merely seemed as though it was a feeling of depression and tiredness. I kept getting worse, however, and finally had to give up a good posiâ€" tion.

I’d trust her anywhere, sirâ€"in any companyâ€"that I would.” - “Well, that is high praise," Mr. Trelawney answered quietly. “And I can quitebelieve that she deserves it,” he added. ‘ Letty had been fifteen when she first came to Sliepton. One day, speaking to me about her to-day," he said, "and he seemed to think that, if you would like it, he could Ifind her employment presently in his school.

I think you and Letty had better talk the matter over together, land see how you feel about it." ' There was not much talking over needed, for to both Letty and Mrs. Markham the suggestion seemed too tempting a one to be rejected, and before many more days had passed Letty had begun her lessons with Miss Watson. She had read a good ‘deal by this time, but she was very ignorant still of almost every thing that children are taught at school. She could scarcely, when she began her labors with Miss Watson, have icorrected the sums of Miss Watson’s appetite gave out ; the least exer- tion tired me, and my heart would beat painfully. My limbs seemed to feel like weights, and at other times there was a sinking sensation which I can scarcely describe. I was treatâ€" ed by a good doctor and took a number of remedies, but without any improvement in my condition, and I began to fear that I was doomed to be an invalid. One day a friend who called to see me spoke very highly of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and what she said interested my mother so much that she bought a. few boxes. I began taking them, and in the course of a few weeks there was no room for doubt that they were helpâ€" ing me. I continued taking the pills for a couple of months or more, when I felt -as well and strong as ever I had been. It is about a year since I gave up taking the pills, and I have not since felt the need of any medicine.‘ I think Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a grand medicine,‘and should be taken by all pale and feeble girls.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make rich, red blood with every dose taken, thus restoring the 'bloom of health, and the brightness and freshness of youth to pale and sallow cheeks. Through their action on the blood they cure such diseases as anaemia, nervousness, headache, rheumatism. dyspepsia, St. Vitus’ dance, heart troubles, diseases of the kidneys, etc. These pills also cure the ail- ments that make the lives of so many women a constant misery.

I assure youâ€"â€"â€"” “Stuff!” said Mrs. Stronge. She had subsided upon the haystack be- side him, however, and she looked at him with all the air of one who has a state matter of European imâ€" portance to declare.

"I wish I were gcleverer, and could learn faster than ‘I doâ€"but if I should really get able ito help Miss Watson after a time ishan’t you be glad ?” ' So, hopefully and gratefully, Letty little way tried to educate herself to be something higher than a servant in the social scale ; and stole what time she could still to read the books that were dearer to her than lessonâ€"books ; and through all else that she did, whether it were Work or play, held steadily to a devotion 3that no one suspected, and bowed herself when no one knew it before the shrine that she had set up in ‘her simple heart.

I’ve got a telegram from Carew O’Grady, tell- ing me of the birth of a. little girl to him and Yolande.” “No. I declare I am more glad than I can tell you,” said Stronge, sincerely. “It’s the happiest thing for her, poor thing. And now that she’s got O’Grady and the baby, I don’t see why the rest of her life at least shouldn’t run smoothly.” “Garret told me yesterday.” she said gravely, “that that unfortunate woman’s case is worse than ever. No‘ signs of returning sanity.” “A most merciful thing, according to my judgment.” ‘ “Yesâ€"yes; I suppose so.” “Let us talk of something else,” said Stronge hastily, who had never quite overcome a certain sense of - faintness attendant upon any referâ€" ence to that past awful scene. “Did you. hear,” he said, “that Feather- ston has been defeated?

Babies that are well, sleep well, eat wellhact well and play well. A child that is not lively, rosyâ€"checked and playful, needs immediate attention or the results may be serious. Prudent mothers should always keep ready at hand a. safe yet effective medicine to administer to their little ones as emergency arises. Such a medicine is Baby’s Own Tablets. These Tablets do not act as the soâ€"colled “soothâ€" ing” medicines do. They do not have a deadening or stupel‘ying effect, but on the contrary go right to the seat of the trouble and by removing it cure the child and prevent a recur- ' rence of the difficulty. All mothers who have used this medicinepraies it and always keep it in the house. Mrs. G. Baines, Six Mile La‘ke, Ont., sayszâ€"“The Baby’s Own Tablets which I ordered came just in time. -My baby was very ill with indigesâ€" tion and bowel trouble, but I am happy to say the Tablets relieved him after a few doses and he is now doing splendidly, with just a Tablet now and then when a. little restless. I am the inother of eight children and I must say I have never had a medicine I thought as much of as Baby’s Own Tablets, and T have tried all the old remedies. I think mothers ought always to keep them in the house in case of emergency. These tablets cure all the minor ail- ments of children. such as constipa- tion, sour stomach, colic, diarrlr ~ a indigestion, and simple fever. They break up colds, prevent croup, and allay the irritation accompanying the ren of 'all ages, and dissolved in cutting of teeth.
