Neuralnia and Head- aches Common Among Scliool Children. St. Vitus dance is a disease that is becoming more and more frequent among school children. Young people tire llie nerves with study and ihe r.erves cry out. Sometimes Ihe trouble takes the form of neuralgia, headache, nervous exhaustion, weakness of the hmbs and muscles, and what we call "being run down.' In other cases St. Vitus dance is the result, and the suf- ftrcr freciuenlly loses all control of the limbs, which keep up a constant jerk- ing and twitching. There is only one way to cure this trouble â€" through the blood which feeds and strengthens Ihe nei-ves. And Dr. Williams' Pink I'ills ore the only medicine that can make the new rich, red blood that feeds the ricrves and strengthens every part if the body. The case of Flossie Doan, oi Crowland, Ont.. proves the value of Dr. Wilhams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Doan says: "A couple of years ago myilaugh- Ici- Flossie was (Jangerously alllicted with SL Vitus dance. She became so nervous thai after a lime we could not let her see even her frieinds. She could not pick up a dish, lace her shoes, or make any movement to help herself. She had grown thin and very pale, and as she had been treated by several doctors without benefit I feoreil she would not recover. A friend ad- vised me to give her Dr. WiHiams' Pink fills, and after she had used a couple of boxes I could see that they were helping her. We gave her nine boxes in all, and by that lime she wa.s per- frctiy well, and every symptom of trou- ble had passed away and she is now a strong, well developed girl.'' ir your growing children are weak or nervous, it they are pale nnd thin, lack pppelile or complain of he.-Kl.aches or backaches give them Dr. Wililains' Pink I'ills and .see how speedilv the rich, red blood these jiiUs make 'will trans- form them into bright, active, robust boys and girls.

BECAUSE COMKTS RETIRE TAIL FIRST. The Earth Frequently C^llidles With Meteor .Swarms. If you are forty-live years old, you can claim lo have passed right through Uie tail of a comet. .As a mailer of fiicl. twice during last cenUii-yâ€" namely, in 1819 and IStitâ€" did this eailh of oui's whirl through the tails of comets (one in each of the years named), and so slight was the damage done that no one realized what had happened until some time afterwards. We have collided with .several meteor swarms wilhuit serious result. The collision of 1H3.1 was the most remark- nble. The whole sky appeared to te reining stars, thousands of meteorites being visible at once, many of them far blighter than Venus, and leaving long, brilliant trails. The earth's atmosphere protects us Trom any real dnnger from these visila- tions. Solid bodies rushing at nn enormous rate through space arc im- mediately fu.sed and di.s.sipaled as ga.s- is when Ihey first come in contact with cur nlmosphere. the friction thus set up irsulling in incalculable heat. About three periodic comets appear fvcry year, as well as a similar number of unexpected com^s. F.ncke's comes most frequently, appearing every three years. A comet's head consists of a smnrm of meteors, but its tail is its fascinating part. II is repellwf hy the sun. for as a comet approaches Ihe sun its tail fol- lows, while il recedes from the sun tail i:isl.

Will Cure Cancerous Growths on Exterior of Body â€" Fails iii Other Cases. Wild claims have been made regard- ing the elllcacy of radium emanations as a cure-all in therapeutics, and, on Ihe other hand, the reaction agaiivil its use has been from time to time e(iually vio- lent. The contribulion of Dr. Myron Melzcnbaum to the Medical Hecord re- garding the known medical value 3f radium is therefore timely and of im- portance to those interested in its use. The writef bases his conclusions upon an exhaustive survey of medical clinical experience wilh the subsUince, and oUiers the following conclusions -, TREATMENT OF CA.NCEH. ••That lupus responds promptly to 14ie action of radium, and that this result Is obtained as i-eadily ns with the l-insen light or the x-rays, and that these re- sults seem permanent. That small affectations of the epithelium, without glandular involvement, heal rapidly under the action of the radium rays, provided the tubes of radium can he brought into contact or close proximity to the diseased area. Large epithelio- matous areas of the mucous membranes may not be influenced to any mnrkeil degree, probably bei-ause in lai'ge areas the disease is not only suportlcial hut the deeper tissues are uivolved as well. Epilheliomala on the skin re.spond tar more readily than those of the mucous nicmbranes: this is probably because j the skin is kepi dry and is not irritated i by moisture or friction of the parts. I The healing of epilheliomala under the | aclaon of the radium rays seems to lie | permnnent. The rodent ulrei's about ' the face and head respond belter to the i action of the radium than lo any | known agent cxcepling x-rays, nnd Ihe I results nip hi'lter Ihnii those usually ob- tained by surgical intcrfcrei^c. . J l.N'TKniOR GROWTII.S. Deep-seuled, malignant growths seem, beyond the inlluenee of Ihe radium rays,, and even when an incision is made into the growth and the tube of radium In inserted into iU inlei-ior (iis in the c;ise of the late I'l-esident Hari)er\ there is then only a histological change in that part of the growth surrounding tiie tube of radium, as is demonstrated by a microscopical study of tlie tissue. f''ven I if the radium rays exerled any benelicjal 1 influence on Iruly malignant, deep- seated growths, tlie fact could not ije. used to any great advantage in thesoi cases, for the focal action would be so pronounced as lo cause aji uleefalion U the skin before it couM inlluenee Iha growth beneptlp • v ,_ "In wrl(iiyv,Va^*'l^ tolal blindness,, possibly where .soiiic of the fibres of the optic nerve still remuln int^icl, a sensa- tion of light may he noted when a lube of radium of lligh. activity i:. placed in fiont of the eyc->or agaiJistlhe temporal region. But thus far rathum has given no benelicial results in the treatment of blindness. When tubes of radium are, applied to old scars resulting from heal- ed lupoid ulcers, it causes them to lose^ Iheir rough and fibrous appearance and renders the area quite sinooUi ajid pliable." ;_„j*-0.
