A GRATEFUL MOTHER ' fella of tli9 Remaikable Cupj Dp. • William!' P»nk Pills Wroi?lil; in Har Casaâ€" Had Ualar- gOQ) Four Operatioas Without Help. When womsn approach that cri- â-  tical period in their lives known as •the turn of life, they do so with a , feeling of apprehension and uncer- .tainty for in the manner in whicii •they pass that crisis determines •th© health of their after life. Bur- ning this most important time in the life of a woman, her whole aim should be to build up and Etrength- .rn her system to meet the unusual demands upon it. Devotion to fam- •ilv should not lead to neglect of .â- elf. The hard work and worries ,of household cares should be avoid- '•d as far as possible. But whether â- â€¢iie is able to do this or not, no .woman should fail to take the tonic treatment offered by Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills, which will build up her 'blood and fortify her whole sys- •tem, enabling her to pass this cri- tical period with safety. We give .the following strong proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are con- 'atantly doing for suffering women. ' Mrs. Maragaret Wood, Bouth- 'fifld, N.B., says:â€" "Some years • ago I became a victim to the trou- , Wes that afflict so many of my sex, ^ in the very worst form. The doctor • in charge neither through medicine ' nor local treatment gave me any • help, and he decided that I must • nndergo an operation if I was to . have any relief. During the next , two years I underwent four suc- •«ssive operations. During this time I had the attention of some «i the best physicians. From each operation I received some benefit, but only of short duration, and then I drifted back into the same wretched condition as before. Dur- ing all this time I was taking medi- cine to build up my system, but with no avail. I was reduced to a mere skeleton; my nerves were ut- terly broken down. My blood was of a light yellowish color, and I was to far gone that 1 took spells in which my lips, fingers and tongue would seem paralyzed. I cannot hegin to expreea *hat I suffered and went through in those two years. I was completely discourag- ed and thought 1 could not live long. Then on the urgent advice of friends I began to take Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and after some weeks perceived a change for the hetter. I continued to take the Pills for several months gradually growing stronger and suffering toss, and in the end found myself once more a well woman and en- joying (he blessing of such good health as I had not known for years. I now always keep these Pills in the house and after a hai-d tiay's work take them for a few days and they always seem to put new life and energy in my body. 1 sincerely hope my experience mav he of profit to some other suffering women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are s'ld by all dealers in medicines or will he sent by mail at 50 cents a oox or six boxes for «2.a0 by addresv iag The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. DUKE BECOMES A MONK COUSIN OF CZAR E>'T£RS A UONASTERr. The Girl He Loved Becomes the Wife of a Tillage Sobool- masver. Unrequitted love for a girl of matchless beauty is given as a rea- son for the decision of Grand Duke Dementrius Constantinovitch, a coosin of the Czar, to eater a mon- astery. The Grand Duke's plan be- came known a few days ago and oocanioned great surprise. In going to the cloister of the Monks of St. Basil, on the out- skirts of Moscow, he follows the ex- ample of his august relative, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, who has entered a convent. DAUGHTER OF XDVERSEER. The girl with whom he tell in love is the daughter of an overseer of one of his estates. She rejected his overtures. A few months ago she married a village schoolmaster, and this, it is said, broke the Grand Duke's heart. He straightway de- termined to renounce the cruel world. The Grand Duke's intimates re- fuse to accept ' this version, how- ever," and assert that the real rea- son for his determiantion to enter the -cloister of monks is far remov- ed from disappointment in love. They say his change of heart was brought about by despair over the state of his country. TOWARD REVOLUTION. It is his fixed idea, they aver, that Russia is slowly but surely steering toward a revolution that will shake its foundations and dis- rupt the empire. 'rhe Grand Duke used to be a colonel in the Sixteenth Regiment of Grenadiers, but it was an open secret that he cared nothing for the army. From one year's end to the other he never aaw his regi- ment. In his youth he was a patron cf the race course and a passion- ate admirer of blooded horses. He also made an unsuccessful attempt in the reign of the late Czar to in- troduce the prize ring and import- ed two famous English boxers to illustrate the manly art of self-de- fence. But the present Dowager Empress set her foot down and would have none of it. After this the Grand Duke seemed to take lit- tle interest in life. WENT ON PILGRIMAGE. About a year ago he surprised every one by setting out on a pil- grimage to the Russian holy city vi Kieff, where he visited the cata- combs and stayed on his knees an hour before the high altar of the great Lavra. When he returned to St. Petersburg he ordered a new al- tar for a Russian church in Jeru- salem and sent the Russian Consul at that place |5,000 to be spent in entertaining Russian pilgrims vis- iting the Holy S«'pulchre. From that time he has been attentive to religious obligations. "My life has been empty," he said recently to a confidant. "I want to prepare to meet my Maker. I dan't be useful to u<.auki;:d. I'm going to hide myself away." EVEBY WOMAN WHO SUFFERS CAN PINO .SURE REfJEF DODD'S KIOKEY PILLS. IN Mrs. J. Oliver Tells How She I^ost Her Pains and Weakness W'leii She Used the Old Reliable KiU:. y Remedy. Elgin, Ont., May 3 (Special).â€" Women who suffer, and there are thousands of them in Canada, wiU bear with interest the experience of | Mrs. J. Oliver of this place. 8ne has suffered and found a cure and she has no hesitation in saying that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I suffered for over a year from Backache and Fainting Spells," Mrs. Oliver states. "I was tired and nervous all the time and the least exertion would make me per- spire freely. My feet and ankles would swell and I had a dragging sensation across the loins. I saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised and bought some. Twelve boxes cured me." All women who suffer should use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They make healthy Kidneys and healthy Kid- neys are the first rule of health for woman. The female organs de- pend almost entiiely on the Kid- neys for their health. No woman can hope to be healthy and happy unless her Kidneys are right. The Kidneys need occasional help or they must become tired or sick. And almost any woman can tell von out of her own experience that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the help they need. SMALLEST BIRD. The golden-crested wren is the smallest, not only of British, but of ail European birds. Its average weight is only about eignt grains troy, so it would take seventy-two of the birds to weigh a pound. The length of the feathers is about 3 1-2 inches, and the stretch of the wings about 6 inches, but when the feathers are taken off the length of the body does not exceed 1 in. * A Woman's Sympathy Are you dlscourairedT I» your doctor** bUl a heavy nn;inci.il loa<l7 la your pals B, beavv physical burden?

On one occasion, when the King and Queen of Italy were ont motor- ing, they passed beyond the frontier and, on reaching the boundary again, were accented by an extra smart Ci'.stoms officer. "Where do you come from?" he ,T.sked. "Modane,'' was the reply. "Where is the number of your car'?" "There is uone." "A-ha! j.-\nd yet you enter Italy! Now, i then, what's your name?" "Vic- jtor," said his Majesty smiling. I ".\nd your other name?" "Ema- nnel." "Your profession?" I 'Well." replied the Royal motor- ist, " I have hitherto enjoyed the reputation of being the only Victor Emanuel in my kingdom." The great are those who can bear discipline. Most of the burdens for which we blame heaven are simply our own needless baggage. A man would rather be held up by strangers than thrown down by his friends. NOT WHAT HE MEANT TO ASK. A young man went on one occa- sion to call at a country farmhouse to make inquiries after his sweet- heart, who had chargo of the dairy. Her master opened the door, and the lover asked him timidly: "How is the milkmaid?" "How is the milk made?" the farmer angrily asked, as ho siammed tho door in the stranger's face. "Our milk isn't made; it's got from the cow." Why go limping and whining about your corns when a 25 cent bottle of HoUoway's Corn Cure will reiaove them ? Give it a trial and you will not regret it.

Dr. Alexia Carrel, of the Rocke- feller Institute, in an address to the American t-hilosophio Society, draws attention to some of the marvels of modern surgery. Among the cases cited was that of a man whose injured knee-point had been snccessfully replaced by a sound one taken from a dead body. An- other was that of a cat wncse kid- neys bad been replaced by those of another. A fox-terrier, again, hav- ing lost a leg, this was replaced by one taken front a dead companion. The dog was able to run about as usual. And Dr. Carrel finds that the parts of the dead organism can be kept for an indefinite time, and still be successfully substituted fer those of the living. They must be put in refrigerators and kept in hermetically sealed tubes a little above freezing. + ZAM-BUK CURED HER BABY. Mothers will find the following statement of more than passing in- terest, showing, as it does, how Z&m-Buk ends the skin-disease of children, even when ordinary re- medies have completely failed. Mrs. C. W. Eowerbank, of » â€" Denison Avenue, Toronto, says : â€" "Not long ago my baby's face broke out in an eruption. The spots woul<l crack and be very irritating and sore. At other times they itched fearfully, and caused the child to scratch and rub, thus mak- ing the sores very inflamed and oainful. I tried all sorts of oint- ments aud salves, but they some- bow did net seem able to remove the trouble. Zam-Buk proved very different, and a few applications gave the child relief. The sores are now healed completely. "Since that time my little daugh- ter has had occasion to use Zam- Buk for skin trouble. She broke out in blott'hcs on her hands aud arms, and in her case also Zam- Buk effected a cure. It is a sure cure for pimples and eroptions, ecze^ma, ring-worm, ul- cers, cuts, burns, bruises, poisoned sore-s, chronic wounds, bad leg, piles, festering sores, and all skin injuries and diseases.
