There is no remedy like Burdock Blood Bitters for giving relief to such sufferers; no other remedy has done, or can do so much for those who are almost driven to distraction with the terrible torture. Apply it externally and it takes out the sting- ing, itching and burning, and pro- motes a healthy healing. Take it internally and it gets at the source of the disease in the blood, and completely and perman- ently drives it out of the system. Miss Mary V. Chambers, Anagance Ridge, :N.B. writes. "1 used Burdock Blood Bitters for eczema. I had it when an infant, but it left me. Two years ago it came back. I used doe- tors' medicine, but it did good only while I used it. At last my face was nothing but a running sore. I saw in the paper what B.B.B. did for peo- ple. I took it, and today I am free from that terrible disease. - Manufactured only by The T.

ATTEMPT ON IT UNLIKELY GERMANS WOULD EXHAUST THEMSELVES IN EFFORTS ---- Paris Well Defended by Forests--A Most Powerful Plain Against An Ene emy From the North and North east, Paris, June 12.---Day by day the feeling of confidence in the possi- bility of the allied army being able to defend Paris against any effort the Germans may make is growing ir volume. It is curious to those of us who were here all through the critical period of 1914, when the boche army got to within fifteen miles of the 'city walls, and troops poured in from four and six miles out, to note that at present, in spite of the recent repeated important progress made by the enemy, there is an entire absence of those signs of, panic. which characterized the week or ten days immediately before CASTORIA For Infants and Children \ In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of | fortify the system and Stevenson Phone 53 & Hunter 85-87 Princess St. the battle of the Marne, It is tally! realized now that any Question of, the surrender of the city is'fiot to be thought of, . ' No Fear of Result. Under the vigorous hand of Clem-' encgau all the necessary prepara- tions are being made to make Paris a kernel of resistance of the allied armies, and there are no signs what- 4 sult will be, t "Paris 1s defended," says one, writer; "it would be for the German army a gigantic Verdun. Before the to consist of a million men, could exhaust itself even more qu'ckly than before Verdun. This city can be de- fended by a minimum loss for us, while the enemy would pay dearly for every foot gained. Paris, if di- rectly attacked, might in a f w weeks prove the tombd of the German army, while the allied armies will do all that possibly can be done to save her from humiliation, They will not dare to attempt the effort, Defended By Forests, The Petit Parisien point out the Importance of the fact that Paris is 50 well defended by forests, and re- calls that this is the only kind of ground which still preserves its de- fensive importance. The German of- fensive in April, it notes, died out when it reached the Nieppe Forest and Carlepont Wood. The forest- covered heights of Monte de Choisy and Villers-Cotterets Forest have so far proved insurmountable obstacles in the latest German advance, "A forest," says the same paper, 'now constitutes the only sufficiently extensive and impenetrable camou- flage, especially at this season, for the movement and assemblage of ever of any fear as to what the re- J Paris front a German army, were it | { Howard THE LATE DR. KENNEDY. He Was a Man of High Attain. ments, It is with the sincerest rocord the death of Dr. Alexander Kennedy, on May 17th, at Amherst Island, in his sixty-fourth year. was the oldest son of the late Dr. Roderick Kennedy, who practiced medicine for many years in Bath. His mother was a daughter of Gov- ernor McTavish, of the Hudson's Bay Company. He was born at Bath on une 28th, 1854, and received his early education in the Academy there under the care of that well known educationalist, the late Dr. McGregor, Almonte. Later he attended lectures at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston, and in due time graduated from Queen's Univer- sity. After spending a term at St. Thomas' Hospital, London, he re- turned to Canada and went to Ann Arbor, Mich., where he was associat- ed for a time with the late Dr. Mc- Lean, a surgeon of continental fame, who had studied under Syms and Lis- ter, and who was a ploneet on this continent in introducing their meth ods of antisceptic surgery. On Jan. 1st 1878, Dr. Kennedy married Miss Ida, daughter of the late Edward Howard, of Bath. Their family consists of two sons, the Rev. Kennedy, B.D.,, of Cincin- nati, Ohio, and Sergt. Roderick, now in Jace with the U, 8. army. Mrs. Kerfhedy died several years ago. Dr. Kennedy had the instincts of a soldier from his earliest years, and held a certificate from the old Mill- tary School at Kingston. He was a member of the 47th Battalion, and could tell many anecdotes of old camping days with his comrades. At the outbreak of the Norwest Rebel- lion he at once offered his services. He hurried to the front and was plac- ed in charge of the Field Hospital at Battleford. He was present at- the troops which cannot be rendered nu- gatory by aerial reconnafssance, This wide stretch of forest country, and the capital, constitutes a most powerful plain against an enemy coming from the north and north- east." 25 LAGE STEAMERS WITH AMERICAN TROOPS A Glad Sight In the Mersey, Writes a Merchant of Liverpool. -- Simcoe, June 12.--Senator Me- Call has very courteously permitted the publication of the following ex- tract from a letter received recently from a Liverpool merchant, and dated May 16th, while the first Ger- man drive was slowing down: "Kt would have gladdened your heart to have seen the Mersey this morning. I counted 25 large steam- ers (there must have been more, as they extended far out to sea, and it 'was hazy), all swarming with troops from your side. The town is gay with the Stars and Stripes fly- ing from every masthead on public and private buildings, and the popu-~ lace are heantfly acclaiming the new arrivals as they march through the town to their temporary quarters." ------------ JAPANESE T NOT YET ON THEIR WAY But Harbin poets Early In= tervention y Them in ; Manchuria. Harbin, Manchuria, June 12.--Al- though it has been reported that Gen. Semenoff, commander of the forces operating against the Bolshe- viki in Siberia, is hourly in expecta- tion of Japanese troops to support him, there is no confirmation that these troops actually are on the way. It has been learned, however, that strong recommendations have been made by the diplomatic corps for the immediate intervention of the Jap- anese in the face of the growing Ger- man menace. These recommenda- tions have been forwarded to the Governments of the respective diplo- mats, including the Washington gov~ ernment, " BOTHA IS CONFIDENT. Liisi God Never Desérted Righteous : Cause, He Asserts, Estcourts, Natal, South Africa, June 12.--¥n an address here Gen. Botha said that South Africa would be unworthy of its free constitution it it did not recognize the call in be- half of the Allied cause. "To-day the Allies are fighting odds," he said, "but I believe in God and He never allows a § cause to fail. Even Paris fall we will not cease, because 'we cannot surrender our faith, our freedom." (Cheers.) Gen. Botha urged all fit to imme- diately enlist. He also dwelt on thed success of the scheme of obtaining ~~ recruits by substitutes | had first attended to his own wound- which lies between the present front! ©d men, he did all he could for those battle of Cut Knife, After the battle was over, when he of the enemy's wounded who were brought in. He often spoke of the courage and endurance of those mis- guided men. One Indian brave, who had a large splinter of shrapnel lodg- ed in his body, was informed that it must be removed. The surgeon regret ! Hel was about to administer the anaes- thetic when the wounded man, al- though suffering much, secornfully refused, saying "Me No Squaw." So the doctor applied his foreeps, and although a strong pull was required yet the Indian proved to be indeed "brave" and stood the ordeal withut a groan, Dr. Kennedy offered his services during the Boer war, and again at the beginning of the present world war was very anxious to go to the front, but age was against him, and younger an had the preference. It was for him, however, a source of proud satisfaction in his last days that he had a son there standing for freedom and justice, Dr. Kennedy was a man of more than ordinary ability. Thanks to the solid groundwork laid at Queen's, he was a good anatomist and had a clear and accurate knowledge of the pro- perties of medicine. He was con- sidered an expert in diagnosis. ¥or- ty years ago, during an outbreak of smallpox of a very maligant type oa Amherst Island, when but a young practitioner, he rendered efficient service which is still remembered by the older inhabitants, He jwas kind, sympathetic and ate tentive to his patients, and would sit up a whole night watching and nursing a critical case. Though not what he called a sportsman, yet he loved to go with his dog and gun off to the woods for a ramble or take his boat and go for a morning's fishing in the bay. There were few who could excel him sailing or rowing a boat, His funeral took place on Sun- day afternoon and was largely at- tended. His pastor, the Rew. C. 'Dixon, conducted the service and spoke appropriate words. It was his wish to be buried in Glenwood ceme- tery, and there his body rests under the spreading breaches of a maple tree near to where the writer has often heard him naming the constel- lations and speaking of the magni- tude and wonder if those heavenly bodies, for the doctor took a deep interest in that oMest of sciences-- Astronomy.
