SEVEN YEARS PAIN FBOM ACUTE NEUBALGIA Oured Through the USB of Dr, WUliams 1 Pink Pills. Neuralgia is not a disease it is only a symptom. It is the surest cign that your blood is weak, wat- ery and impure, and that .your nerves are literally starving. Bad blood is the one cause good, rich, red blood its only cure. There you have the real reason why Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia. They are the only medicine that contains, in correct proportions, the very elements needed to make new, rich, red blood. This alone reaches the root of the trouble, soothes the jangled nerves, and drives away the nagging, stabbing pain, and brace up your health in other ways. Mr. M. Brennan, an ex-sergeant of the 2nd Cheshire Regiment, now a resident of Win- nipeg, Man., says: "While serving with my regiment in India, on a hill station, I contracted a severe cold, which brought on acute neu- ralgia, at times lasting for three weeks. I was constantly suffering almost every month in the year for over seven years, the pain being lometimes so severe that I wished I was dead. On my return to Eng- land I seemed to get no better, though I spent large sums of money for medical advice and medicine. Then I came to Canada, and about a year ago saw the advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a Winnipeg paper. Although I had begun to think my complaint was incurable I told my wife that I in- tended giving the Pills a fair trial. I was suffering from terrible pains when I began taking the Pills, but before the second box was finished the pain began to disappear, and under a further use of the Pills it disappeared entirely, and I have not had a twinge of it during the past year. Only those who have been afflicted with the terrible pains of neuralgia can tell what a blessinjr Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been to me, and you may be sure I shall constantly recommend them to other sufferers." These Pills are sold by all medi- cine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. PnOB.VBlLITIES. Experts Are Engaged in Studying the Law of Chance. You probably do not know that on of the most important laws perhaps the most important that govern your daily life is the law of probabilities. If it is a cloudy day when you start to business you take an um- brella. You are unconsciously ap- plying the law of probabilities. All day long you are, consciously or unconsciously, applying this law to your actions, to your engagements, to your eating. If you refrain from eating fish at luncheon, it is probably because you feel that your wife will have it for dinner. Professor Virgil Snyder of London, who is an authority on the law of probabilities, says if it were expressed in figures "it would be a fraction whose numerator expresses the number of favorable ways, an event may happen and whose de- nominator is the total number of ways a thing can happen. "Undr the law of probabilities things will happen in the same pro- portion that their probabilities call SALT OUT ON Formed Watery Pimples. Itchy and Had Horrible Burning Sensation. Lost Some of Finger Nails, Could Not Open Hands, Cured by Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. 235 N. Llsgar St.. Toronto, Ontario. !*For seven years I have boon, troubled with alt-rheum. It camo out on my hands and formed kind of watery plmploi all over them which became Itchy and It had a horrlhlo burning sensation which caused me a good deal of ^paln. It came out on my ,. hands In the fall and remained / there till after spring. I might mention that I lost some of my finger-nails by the disease. During thia length of time I was utterly useless, as I pould not open my hands. I tried several other patent medicines without a bit of lellef. Some of my friends advised mo to try Cuticura Remedies so I sent for samploa and by using them there was a great Im- provement. Then I went to the drugglsb nd bought one cake of Cuttcura Soup and two boxes of Cuttcura Ointment; aflor using thorn I am glad to say I am completely cured. I bad given up all hope of being eured. I can say to all those who havo offered as I have, not to lose courage bub to give Cutlcura Remedies a fair trial.'! (Signed) Mia Lillian Irwln. Oct. 18, 1911.

''At the conclusion of the tesfc-y and it was certainly a fair one it was found that practically as many coins felj heads as tails.- "All life insurance premiums are determined by the law of probabili- ties. For instance, to determine the premium on people between twenty and twenty-five years of age, a life insurance company finds out how many people die annually be- twepn those ages. That number divided by the total number of peo- ple alive betweeh those ages is a fraction that expresses the chances that people between the ages of twenty and twenty-five have of liv- ing, and it is, of course, a simple matter for the company to fix the premiums accordingly. NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Her to Uoalth. "Something was making me ill and I didn't kiiow the cause," writes a Western young lady: "For two years I was thin aud sickly, suffering from indigestion and in- flammatory rheumatism. "I bad tried diiferent kinds of diet, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better. "Finally, Mother suggested that I try Grape-Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. "To-day I am well and am gain- ing weight and strength all the time. I've gaiucd 10 Ibs. in the last five weeks and do not suffer any more indigestion, and the rheumatism ia all gone. "I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it." Name given by Canadian Fostum Co., Windsor, Ont. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is pe- culiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheumatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimila- tion. As soon as improper food is abandoned and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly, digestion is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the system. The result is a certain and steady return to normal health and men- tal activity. "There's a reason." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever re i.l tin lOoui letter?

When he left the town this year his wagon was loaded with provisions and wearing apparel. Sore Chest Cured in One Night Broke Up a Heavy Cold, Relieved Pain in the Side, Stopped an Irritating Cough. "Anyone that goes through all , that I suffered last winter will ap- j preciate the value of a remedy that \ cures like Nerviline cured me." Tl'ese are the opening words of the S solemn declaration of E. P. Von Hayden, the well-known violinist. "My work kept me out late at night and playing in cold, drafty places brought on a severe culd that set- tled on my chest. I had a harsh, racking cough and severe pains dart ed OVILIHE CDRES CHEST COLDS through my sides and settled in my shoulders. I used different liniments, but none broke up my cold till I used Nerviline. I rubbed it on my neck, chest, and shoulders, morning and night, and all the pain disappear- ed. Realizing that such a heavy cold had run down my system, I took Ferrozone at meals, and was completely built up and strength- ened. Since using Nerviline I have no more colds or pleurisy, and en- joy perfect health." It's because Nerviline contains the purest and most healing medi- cinal principles, because it has the power of sinking through the pores to the kernel of the pain these are the reasons why it breaks up colds, cures lumbago, stiffness, neuralgia, sciatica, and rheumatism.

Llnlmtnt Cur.i Dltt.mp.r. FISH THAT FELL UPWARD. Brilliant Colors at a Depth of 3.000 Feet. According to Sir John Murray, one of the greatest authorities on oceanography, the bottom of the sea is a desert of pitch black dark- ness, penetrating cold and eternal silence. Worms, sea puddings and coral polyps sluggishly crawl or sway in the almost currentles* depths, and only two species of fish, both of them small, with much head and little body, have been found deeper than a mile and a quarter down, .says the London Standard. The range of fishes in the sea is as though it were divided into layers, one above the other, and no fish can live above or below his layer. Thus many of the deeper fish three- quarters of a mile below the sur- face have been found floating at the top ; thy had swallowed a fish as large or larger than themselves and its buoyancy had lifted them out of the strata to which they were accustomed. The physiology of a bottom fish ie almost impossible to know, be- causo they are built to resist a tre- mendous pressure of water, and whon this pressure is released as when they are brought to the sur- face in a net sometimes the fish has b-.irst : the organs are crushed beyond reconstruction. Similarly, if a fish of a higher strata attacks a bottom fish in the neutral zone where both can live, and as sometimes happens his teeth become entangled so that he cannot let go, and he is dragged in- to deeper water, he strangles in- stantly, for his breathing arrange- ments are of no use to him under the pressure of water in the lower strata of the sea. As a rule, how- ever, the fish of the various depths rarely feed on those above or below them. There have been brought to light an astonishing number of forms of fish, and especially of prawns of a brilliant red color, living in the ocean at a depth of 3,000 feet. But astonishing as it may seem, these brilliantly colored fish and prawns, instead of being conspicuous in the water at that depth, are almost in- visible, when almost any other color could be easily seen. .1, The best way to feel for the poor and needy is to feel in your pockets.

Cold sorea, chapped hands, ulceri and winter eosema, are common troubles juit now, and for all these, Zam-Buk will be found the surest and quickest remedy. Sometimes cold sores arise from chilblains on the toes or fingers, and in the for- mer case, where colored socks are worn, there is a danger of blood- poisoning from the dye. Zam-Buk being so powerfully antieptic re- moves the danger as soon as applied. Mr. W. J. Halliday, of Ash Grove, Ont., says: "I had my little nnger frozen, and it cracked at the first joint, cau-ring a bad sore, which dis- charged freely and would not heal. The pain was very bad, and the whole of my hand became swollen. "A friend advised me to try Zam- Buk, and in a very short time it healed the sore." Miss Lillie. May, of Stoney Creek, Ont., says : "A few weeks since, several nasty, disfiguring cold sores suddenly broke out on my lips, which became much swollen. I tried Zam-Buk, and after a few applica- tions of this balm, every sore was healed." Zam-Buk will also be found a sure cure for eczema, blood-poison, vari- cose sores, piles, scalp sores, ring- worm, inflamed patches, babies' eruptions and chapped places, cuts, burns, bruises, and skin injuries generally. All druggists and stores sell at 50c. box, or poet free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, upon re- ceipt of price. Refuse harmful imi- tations and substitutes. Use also Zam-Buk Soap, 25c. tablet.

Stafford House, London's finest mansion, the new ownership of which i* variously attributed to Graham Miller and to Sir William H. Lever, although a ducal resi- dence to-day, wa/a actually built as a royal one. Its splendors were ac- claimed once for all by Queen Vic- toria when, early in her reign, she eaid to the Duchess of Sutherland under its roof, "I have come from my house to your palace." It was for Frederick Augustus, Duke of York, that York House, as it was then called, wa,s built. When the Prince, whose effigy surmounts the York column, had been acquit- ted of the misuse of the military patronage, had seen the last of Mary Anne Clarke, and had been re-established by George IV. as Commander in Chief, he came to the conclusion that his virtues were somewhat unworthily housed in the stable yard at St. Jaime's Palace. To use his own famous oxpression, he reparded the quarters as the equivalent of a '"shocking bad hat." and he proposed to build York House on the site of a building which had once boen known as Queen Caroline's Library, or the Queen's Library. He raised the ne- cessary money by a loan from the Marquis of Stafford, afterward first Duke of Sutherland, and appointed Benjamin Wyatt his architect. Al- though the great new house rose- apace, the Royal Duke lay dying j when its top etory was reached, and it is probable that in his sick room in the Duke of Rutland's house in Arlington Btreot h<- heard the ham- mers, which, so far as he was con- cerned, werp being plied in vain.
