To cure it take Scott's Emul- sion. Scrofula Is consumption of the small glands under the skin, and these break out into sores. Scott's Emulsion heals these sores. But there's more to the story. The loss of flesh and great weakness that comes with Scrofula is a regular part of the disease -the same as In consumption of the lungs. For this as for the sores, Scott's Emulsion is just the remedy. Flesh and strength are gained by the use of Scott's Emulsion quicker than in any other way. Scrofulous children improve in every way on Scott's Emul- sion. SniH for Fre« Suiplt. SCOT! * B* 'W N K, OitminH, Toronto, Onl HUE AD.S TUFFS.

All over the land there are people whose lives hud been made miserable through the pangs of indigestion, who have been restored to the en- joyment of ht-ulth through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. One of these is Mr. Win. Moore, of WellamI, Out. Mr. Moore is the manager of the electric light plant in that town, and stands high in the estimation of the citizens. He says: "It is really a pleasure to speak in favor of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills. For four years prior to 1908 1 sulTered groat tor- ture from indigestion and stomach trouble. I could not eat solid food without experiencing great agony, and for over two years I had to re- sort to a milk diet. 1 had grown emaciated and was almost unlit for active work. I was treated by doc- tors and took advertised medicines, but without any lasting benefit. One day a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' rink Pills. 1 began their use, but 1 mist confess that it was without much hope thaj, they would cure mo. After taking a coui>lo of boxes 1 could see an Improvement, and this gave mo encouragement. 1 continued using the pills until I had taken eight boxes, when I was com- pletely cured and able to eat any kind of food I desired. I shall al- ways praise Dr. Williams' Pink I'ills, as they savetl mo from such misery as only a dyspeptic knows. I might add tliat my wife has also used the pills for troubles that afllict her sex, and has been fully restored to health."

A HUMAN PATCHWORK. of W. Finlayson, Sample Citizen Port Simjjson. A despatch from Vancouver, B.C., .says: â€" W. Finlayson of Port Simp- son is able to boast that he has on him a piece of the skin of nearly every resident of the coming I'acific terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific ilailway. Finlayson came down from the north on Tuesday night, being convalescent after the launch explo- sion in which one man was killed, ho being frightfully scalded. To save his life ho had to have 375 pieces of skin grafted on him. At first the male residents of Port Simpson were baukwai-d in giving up pieces of their epidermis, but the ladies came gal- lantly forward and endured the pain inseparable from the sacriQcc on in- tegument. Of course all the men quickly followed suit until practical- ly every white resident had contri- buted to this unique piece at living patchwork. Finlayson is on his way east to his sister, Mrs E, St. Laurent, of Saskatoon, at whose home he will recuperate after his marvellous experience. JUMPED FROW TRAIN. Prisoner Slips Handcuffs and Es- capes From Constable. A despatch from Drandon, Man., says: â€" In spite of the fact that he was handcufTed to a constable of the R.N.-W.P., Jamea Potter, just sen- tenced lo two years in the peniten- tiary for breaking into the I'ost- ofTlce at Olds, N.W.T., and stealing $100 worth of stamps, made a suc- cessful break for liberty on Wednes- day from the east-bound train on the C.P.R., between Griswold and Virden. He was on his way from Calgary to Stoney Mountain, and the constable had taken the precau- tion to handcuff the prisoner to him- self. The policeman fell asleep and Fetter obtained the key, unlocked the handcuffs, and flung himself oB the train. ♦ CHAMPION DIAMOND. Largest One Ever Found Dug Up at Johannesburg. A tleepatch from Joharaicsburg says: ITio largest diamond over found has been dug out of the Prem- ier Mine here. It weighs 3,030 karats (25 ounces). Nothing is said nor can it be known of what the size or value of the diamoiKl really is until it has been cut, but as a diamond in the rough it is easily chaiupion. The largest rough dia- mond hitherto found was in Brazil, in the eighteenth century. It weighed 1,680 karats, or 14 ounces, was sent to the court of Portugal, to which nation Brazil then belong- ed, and was variously valued by ex- perts away up in the millions. Hut it turned out to be worth only $2,- 000,000, as it was not brilliant. GOLD FROM SEA WATER. Long-Sought Solution of the Prob- lem Found.

England. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" • Lord Strathcona ha.s notified the De partment of Agriculture that an ex- hibition of cheap cottages is being' held at Letchworth, England, from July to Sjeptember next. The official circular announcing the fact states that there is an alarming tendency^ towards depopulation in the rural districts of England. One of the rca-. sons for this is the fact that when old cottages fall into decay new ones are not built to take their places. A committee of prominent men have got together, in the hope of finding a remedy, and the o.xhibi- tion is being held in the hope of se- lecting types of cheap dwellings that will suit the dwellers in rural parts. Prizes are offered in the com- petitiop, and Canadians are invited to compete. The Department of Art- rlculture will furnish particulars on application. ♦ FRAIL LITTLE ONES. The little ones are frail. Theii hold upon life is slight. No symjy- tom that indicates any of the little ailments of childhood should be al- lowed to pass for a moment without proper attention. The little ail- ment may soon become a serious one, ^ and then it may be too late to save n precious little life. If Ilaby's Own Tablets are kept in the house, the danger of serious trouVile can be averted, and the minor troubles promptly cui-ed. An occasional Tab- let to the well child will prevent ill- ness. The Tablets are absolutely, safe and contain no poisonous sooth- ing stuff â€" they give children healthy sloop, simply because they banish tha cause of sleeplessness. Mrs. F.
