J AN OPEN LETTER From a Baptist Clergyman Tellios' of Cures Wrought liy Dr. WiUiams' Pink Fills de Dr. Williams' Medicin« Co., Brockville, Ont. : G«ntlemen, â€" It has been my in- tention to write to you for som« time, but being busy I hav« neg- lected to do BO until now. I am a Baptist minister. Was ordained June 14th, 1SS7, in Cra- mahe Baptist Church, Northumber- land Co., Ont. I i^aut to tell you (n as few words as possible what I know about Dr. Williams' Pink I*ill3. I was pastor of the Dales- rille. Que., Baptist Church in 1391 and again in 16941). While pastor in 1891, the Rev. John King, a for- mer pastor, aged 74, was stricken with paralysis so that he could not help himself. He had to, or did, take a tablesi)oonful of rhubarb every day to keep his bowels regu- lar. I thought of Dr. Williamb' pink Pills. He began taking them and it was not long before he could walk again and his bowels were re- gular. Tlfs paralysis never return- ed and his bowels remained active. He died a few years ago practical- ly from old age. | I went from Dalesvillc, Que., to Groton, Vermont, «s pastor of the recpeciively. Baptist Church in that place. There ! The "Parliament of Bats" assem- lived a man about two and one-half \ bled during the regency in the ABOUT PARLIAMENTS, Facts That Are Especially Interest- ing Just Now. The first parliament of Great Britain met in 1707. Not until 1771 were the debates in Parliament allowed to be report- ed. The first Parliament of the Unit- ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland met in 1601. The first Jew admitted to Parlia- ment, the late Baron L. Roths- child, took his seat on July 26th, 1858. The "Parliament of Dunces," convened by Henry IV. at Coven- try, in 1404, was so called because all lawyers were excluded from it. In 1649 the House of Commons formally abolished the House of Lords, and in the same year a peer sat as a member of the Commons. Prior to the time of the Stuarts, members of Parliament were paid a regular wage for their services by the constituencies returning them. The present House of Commons and House of Lords were represent- ed in Anglo-Saxon times by the Folkmoot or Council of the people, and the Witenagemot or Council of the Chiefs. The shortest* Parliament lasted for one day only, and decreed the deposition of King Richard II. The' four next shortest lasted seven, twelve, fourteen, and twenty days miles from Groton by the name of Keil McCrea, a Canadian. I heard he was ill, and being a Canadian, 1 went to see him. I found him ly- ing in bed. He said he had no pain, but was too weak to sit up. His lips were bloodless, in fact he was as white as chalk. I recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and gave him some. He began taking them and in a short time could see blood in the veins of his hands and in the course of a few weeks he was out watching men building a new barn for him, and shortly after that he came to Groton to church. Now, I ought to tell you that the doctor of Groton had given him up. The Ryegate doctor (a doctor in an adjoining village) could not help him and said so. The best doctor in the hospital of Burlington, Vt., came and saw Mr. McCrea, but said he could not help him. He did not get any help until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills put him on his feet again. Later I returned to Dalesville, Que., as pastor. A young lady who lived about six miles west of Dales- ville at a place called Edina, sent for me to come to see her, as she bad been a member of my congre- gation in my former pastorate. I went to see her and found a similar case to that of Mr. McCrae, of Groton, Vt. This girl was so weak ihe could not sit up. She appear- ed to be bloodless. I said to her : "It will cost you $6.00 to get a doc- tor to come out from Lachine to see you, whereas you can get six boxe"s of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tor $2.50." She followed my advice, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and when some time later I saw hei* in Laohute, sh'^vvas as well as ever, »nd Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did it •11. I have given you the facts of these three cases which came to my personal notice and I think only just to other sufferers that these cures •hould be given the widest publi- city. If you wish me to go before a magistrate and take oath to the truthfulness of the things mention- ed above, I am prepared to do so. I am ab present engaged in evange- listic work, and have therefore not at the present time a i>ermanent address. I can, however, refer you to the editor of the Canadian Bap- tist. (Signed), T. C.

Its members were forbidden to carry swords, so they came to the House of Com- mons with bats or clubs. Parliaments have sat in strange places. One was held by Edward I. under an oak tree in Sherwood for- est. Another, called the "Black Parliament," was convened by Henry VIII. in Bridewell Gaol. So little was the right of return- ing members to Parliament esteem- ed in the days of the early Tudor Kings, that many boroughs paid considerable sums of money for the "privilege" of being disfranchised. Now that Russia. Turkey and Persia have each achieved or been granted constitutional government of a kind, there are only three countries in the world without a Parliament. They are Cnina, Mor- occo, and the tiny principality of Monaco.

The; fixed up his Kidneys, made his blood pure, aad made him feel younz all over. Franklin Centre, Que., Jan 16 (Special).â€" The only way to start the New Year right is to get the health right, and Mr. William Gamble, a well known farmer liv- ing near here is telling his neigh- bors how he got his health right. "I am a farmer sixty-seven years of age," Mr. Gamble says, "And I suffered with a weak back and stoppage of water off and on for ten years. I used several boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they made a new man of me. Dodd'a Kidney Pills are the best medicine I have ever taken." Dodd's Kidney Pills will make a new man of you because they make the Kidneys strong and healthy and able to do their work of straining ! all the impurities out of the blood. Pure blood means new life. It means good circulation and renew- ed strength and energy all over the body. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all forms of Kidney Disease from ; Backache to Bright's Disease, and j they are also doing a great work | by giving renewed health and en- | crgy to thousands of Canadians who | are run-down, tired and generally : feeling no good for anything. Start the new year by toning up the Kid- neys with Dodd's Kidney Pills. It will pay you. A SOPORIFIC MEASURE. "Doctor, I've tried everything and I can't get to sleep," com- plained the voice at the other end of the telephone. "Can't you do something for me?" "Yes," said the doctor, kindly, "just hold the wire and I'll sing you a lullaby." For over fifty years Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and other painful ail- 1 ments have been cured by Hamlin's Wizard Oil. It is a good honest remedy and you will not regret hav- ics a bottle ready for use. * NAMES IN SAMOA. Travellers visiting Samoa are puz- zled at first by the fact that many boys bear feminine names, while girls as frequently have masculine natnes. The visitor learns after a while, however, that this con- fusing use of names instead of be- ing due to ignn-anci i-i iu it-ality the result of a native custom wiiich is highly poetic. Thus if a i-irl is born soon after the deaMi of a bro- ther the latter's name is given to her in the belief t.ia; nis s'iirit and all his goijd qualities have been transferred to her. On the ottjcr hand, if a boy is bo.-u after the death of a sister he takes the lat- ter's name and. as fh : S.iujoan.; lie- lieve, all her lovable traits become his. A DIFFERENCE.

In the trafc-controUer's office close ' watch is kept upon the glass, and | when it indicates the coming of bad weather, the effect upon the train service is immediate. When it rains on the surface, there is an instant rush of Londoners to the under- ground lines, and if such crowding is not foreseen in time to provide for it, there is great congestion at stations. Therefore train servit: is regulated with constant reference to the barometer, more trains be- ing placed on the schedule for the hours of storm, and fewer when s n- shine promises again. * A MODERN MIRACLEI He Had Eczema 2S Years and Doe- tors Said "No Care." Yet Zam-Buk Has Worked Com- plete Cure. This is the experience of a man of high reputation, widely known in Montreal, and whose case can read- ily be investigated. Mr. T. M. Marsh, the gentleman referred to, lives at 101 Lelorimier Avenue, Montreal, and hao lived there for years. For twenty-five years he bad eczema on his hands and wristsy The disease first started in red blotches, which itched, and when scratched became painful. Bad sores followed, which discharg- ed, and the discharge spread the disease until his hands were one | raw, painful mass of sores. I Four eminent medical men tried ! to cure him, and each gave up the '. case as hopeless in the end. Natur- | ally, Mr. Marsh tried remedies of ' all kinds, but he, also, at last gave ', up. For two years he had to wear ' gloves day and night so terrible was the pain and itching when the air. got to the sores. Then came Zam-Buk I He tried it, just as he had tried hundreds of remedies before. But he soon found out that Zam-Buk was dif- ' ferent. Within a few weeks there were distinct signs of benefit, and a little perseverance with this great herbal balm resulted in what he had given up all hope of â€" a com- plete cure! And the cure was per- ^ manent. He was cured nearly three years ago. Interviewed the other day, Mr. Marsh said: "The cure which Zam-Buk worked has been ! absolutely permanent. From the day that I was cured to the present moment I have had no trace of ec- zema, and I feel sure it will never return. Having suffered for twen- ty-five years, I regard my cure as a modern miracle."

BABY'S SPLENDID HEALTH. Mrs. R. Yates. Montreal, Que., writes: â€" "Baby's splen- did health was obt#ned through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. They are a grand medicine for constipa- tion, as their action is easy and does not give baby pain. I would recommend them to all mothers : no one should be without them who have young children in the house.'' This testimony is similar to thou- sands of others sent us by grateful mothers. Every mo- ther who has ever used the tablets for her little ones will tell you they are the very best medicine in the world. They not only cure the ills of the little ones, but they make them grow happy and strong. The Tablets can be given to even the youngest babe with absolute safety as they are sold under the guarantee of a government analyst to con- tain no opiate or other harm- ful drug. They cannot pos- sibly do harm â€" they always do good. Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville. Ont. NAMING THE B.iBY IN JAP.VN. • Such lovers of picturesque cere- monies as the Japanese do not let an important event like the nam- ing of the baby pass without pro- per obser\'ance. The infant's birth is immediately announced to the relatives and friends, who hasten to send congratulations and pre- sents. Visitors used to insist upon seeing the mother and child, but the spread of medical knowledge is gradually changing this. On the seventh day after birth the child is named. The first born son is fre- quently called "Ichiro," which means "First.' Others, as in La- tin, are named "Second," "Third" and so on. Girls are more lucky. re»;eiving picturesque names like " Snow, " " Chrysanthemum, " "Glory"' and the like. I ' The first time a bride loses her temper it worries her husband half to death.

An Always Ready Pill.â€" To thosa of regular habit medicine is of littl* concern, btit the great majority ol men are not of regular habit. Tha worry and cares of business pre- vent it, and out of the irregular- ity of life comes dyspepsia, indiges- tion, liver and kidney troubles as a protest. The rundown system demands a corrective and there ia none better than Parme lee's Vege- table Pills. They are simple in their composition and can be tak- en by the most delicately constitut- ed. So popular is Sickle's Anti-Con- sumptive Syrup as a medicine in the treatment of colds and cough.s or ailments of the throat, due to exposure, to draughts, or sudden changes of temperature, that drug- gists and all dealers in patent me- dicines keep supplies on hand to meet the demand. It is pleasant to take, and the use of it guaran- tees freedom from tliroat and lung diseases. Wise is the woman who is. master of the art of saying pleasant things.

When this occurs there is undue secretion of bile and the acrid liquid flows into the sto- mach and sours it. It is a most dis- tressing ailment, and many are prone to it. In this condition a man finds the best remedy in Parnie- lee's Vegetable Pills, which are warranted to speedily correct the disorder. There is no better medi- cine in the entire list of pill pre- paratiuus. Even a weak woman may be able to put a strong argument.
