his years of suffering as follows woven years ago while working an the bush i strained myself and brought on ter- riblo pains in my stomach and back whero the trouble seemed to locate i had frequent fits of vomiting which caused much distress some times i xould work and then again for months at a time i would be wholly unable to do anything but even at the time i could work i was always suffering at frequent times was treated by three doctors but they were unable to help me then i wont to montreal and put myself under tho care of a doctor there his medicine relieved mo while 1 was in active but as soon as i attempted work or exertion of any kind the pains returned worse than before all this time i was growing weaker and less able to resist the inroads of the trouble then dr williams pink pills were brought to my notice and i began to use tbem from that time i began to regain my health and by the time i had used thirteen boxes i was once more a well strong man the proof of this is that i can do as hard a days work as anyone and never have the slightest symptoms of the old trou- fble i am only sorry that i did not know of tho pills sooner they would have saved me much suffering and money as well with such proof as this that even apparently hopeless coses can be cured there can bo no reasonable doubt that dr williams pink pills will restoro health in all cases where given a fair

under the mat secret of hadi03e heat suggested it may bo supplied by ethereal waves what prof c v boys termed the miracle ol tudium has naturally re ceived much attention in scientific circles at the meeting of the sci ence branch of the british associa tion lord kelvin in a paper whteh ho read made an interesting sugges tion in connection with its perpetual emission of heat at according to m curies calculation a rate of about 90 ccntrigrade calories per gramme ier hour he said that if the emission of heat at this rate went on for 10000 hours there would bo as much heat as would rniso tho temperature of 900000 grammes of water 1 degree centigrade it seemed utterly im possible to lord kelvin that this would come from the storo of energy lost out oi a gramme- of radium in 10000 hours it seemed therefore absolutely certain that tho energy must somehow be supplied from with out ifo suggested that ethereal waves might in some way supply en ergy to radium while it was emitting heat to matter around it lord kelvin illustrated his theory by the following comparison sup pose a piece of whito and a piece of black cloth hermetically sealed in similar glass cases were submerged in similar gloss vessels of water and exposed to the sun tho water in the vessel containing the black cloth would be kept very sensibly warmer than that containing the while cloth here the thermal energy wns com municated to the black cloth by waves of sunlight and was given out as thermometric heat to the water the glass around it thug through the water there was actually an energy travelling inward in vir tue of the waves of light and out ward through the same space in vir tue of thermal conduction lord kelvin suggested that experi ments be made comparing tho heat emission from radium wholly sur
