I I I STOMACH TROUBLE Comes When the Blood is Weak and Watery. Thin blooded people generally have Htoiiiuch trouble. Hut they seldom re- cogiiine the fact that thin blood is tlie cause of their indigestion, but it is. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble; it affects the digestion very nuiekly. The glands that furnish the digestiv(! fluids are diminished in Iheir activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothiuK will more quickly restore tlie appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, 'ed blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act direct- ly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched lilood strength- ens weak nerves, stimulatas tired muscles, and awakens to normal ac- tivity the glands that supply the di- gestive fluids. The first sign of re- turning health is an improved appetite, and soon the effect of these blood-mak- ing pills is evident throughout the whole system. You And that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are strong and vigorous Instead of ir- ritable and listless. You are on the road to sound, good health and care in your diet is all you need. If your appetite is fickle, if you have any of the distressing pains and symptoma of indigestion you should begin to cure yourself at once by taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or aix boxes for |2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. O PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS. Different Tests Employed by Physician to Obtain Information. When a physician sets about to de- termine the nature of the disease from | which his patient suffers, he has re- course to many different procedures. He questions the patient as to his symptoms; he uses the tliermometer to gauge the height of fever; he feels the pulse, makes a chemical and mic- roscopical examination of the seere- lions, examines the blood, takes an li-ray picture if necessary, and â€" es- pecially when • he suspects disease of the organs within the chest or the ab- domen â€" resorts to what he calls a physical examination. The informa- tion that he obtains by the means last qientloned is called the physical diag- nosis. There are four measures that physi- cians use to arrive at a physical diag- losis â€" inspection, palpation, percus- sion and auscultation. Inspection is more than its name im- plies, for It means not only to look at the patient or any part of him, but al- BO to look critically with an expert eye that sees much that is hidden from the casual observer. The physician looks jfot only at the part that he suspects is diseased but also at the face, in which he searches many valuable in- jications. A mere glance, for example, may lead him to suspect pneumonidf, or peritonitis, a paralytic stroke, or an internal hemorrhage. Palpation often gives information of the greatest value. The physician,, by using his hands, gains knowledge of the patient's temperature in general, or by observing a difference in tem- perature between two parts obtains clues that may lead to a clear diagnos- is in a difficult case. By laying his hand ou*the patient's chest he is able to locate the point at which the heart Btrikes the chest wall, and so to deter- mine when the organ is displaced either through increase in size or through being pressed to one or the other side by a tnmor or some abnor- mal condition within the chest; he may also feel the movements of the abdominal organs or the vibrations in the chest caused by adhesions of the lung to the chest wall, and so on. Percussion consists in tapping the wall of the chest or the abdomen to determine by the sound the condition of ('.(-nsity or rarefaction of the organ Within. The principle is the same that the plumber uses when he taps a pipe to learu whether it contains Witter or is empty. Finally, auKCultatlon Is listening to the sounds caused by the closure of the viilves of the heart, the breath Bounds in llie lungs, tlie niovonients of air and flaul in tho IntosMnes, and so on. Th?l is, perhaps, the most valu- able mecD'a of dingnnsis, and the one thnr calls for tlie greatest experience lantl Judgment on the part of the phy- aiciau. SPANIARDS AS NAGIGATORS. In Early Days They Explored Many Lands But Failed to Determine Locations. The Spaniards of early days were most adventurous explorers, but, for all their discoveries of distant lands, very ;.oor navigators. Aft.i- coming upon the Solomon Is- lands (in the western Pacllic), they could not (Ind them again, and they v.ere lost for 150 years. The water supply of their ships was kept in big earthen jars. As it was Impossible to jirovide in this way enough to driuk for a long voyage, thoy took to sea many li'rge mats, which when it rained were spread to catch the drops. From the mats the water was drained oft into jars. Probably it was no fault ot Colum- bus, but his first voyage to America, which occupied two months' time, was mainly a drift. When he landed in Cuba he thought he had reached the mainland of Asia, and sent an expedi- tion inland to treat with the Great Khan of Tartary. Later his flagship, the Santa Maria, ran aground off the coast of Haiti, the natives of which is- land welcomed him most hospitably. He noticed three or four of them whose naked bodies showed scars which they attributed to bites inflicted by man-eating savages of another is- land called Cauiba. Whence the origin of the word cannibal â€" the Island in- habited by these anthropophagi being Porto Rico. Less than 150 years ago Spain still claimed ownership of the wliole Paci- fic Ocean, declaring it a Spanish lake on the strength of Baboa's discovery in 1513. Acting uj^du this idea the Spanisli Government ordered the com- mandante of San Francisco to seize the Columbia, the first vessel that car- ried the United States flag around Cape Horn. The Song of the Harbor Bar. With joyous hearts they sailed away Over the eastern main, With martial pipes and music gay As they whistled some glad retrain; But I heard the sound of the harbor bar Singing in mournful strain. With laughing eyes they sailed away Over the eastern main. With a duty to do and a price to pay, Holding never a thought of gain; But there came a sound from the har- bor bar As from a soul In pain. With Joyous songs they sailed away. Over the eastern main, And many a happy heart to-day Will herald â€" returning again; But the breeze bears the song of the harbor bar Dirge tor our honored slain. | List! you whose loved in silence lie. Over the eastern main â€" Their souls will come at break of day On the rising sun again. And the lullaby croon ot the harbor bar Whispers, Heaven's welcome re- frain. The Dead.

Diarrhoea, dysontry, cholera in- fantum and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine is not at hand to give ^iromptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the house where there are young children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble cofnes suddenly the prompt use of the Tablets will relieve the baby.

WORLD'S 2,000,000 LEPERS. In Canada the Disease Is Little More Than a Name. It is estimated that there are not fewer than 2,000.000 lepers in the world, 6,000 of whom have been con- verted to Christianity. Most of the leprosy of the world Is In Asia and Africa, though it is found in South and Central America, South Russia, Greece, Turkey and Spain and on the shores of the Baltic. The dis- ease still lingers in Norway and Ice- land, and is not uncommon in Aus- tralia and Hawaii, where it was sup- posedly carried by the Chinese. It was I anciently prevalent in all the known : world, and in the middle ages was ex- 1 tenslvely diffused in Europe. Every | considerable city on the continent had 1 its leper house, and in England at one i time there were ninety-five religious i hospitals for people thus afflicted. In the fifteenth century, however, it un- derwent a sudden and remarkable di- minution and has now virtually disap- peared from civilized lands. Neither geography, climate, diet, heredity nor any other known in- fluence sufficiently explains the cause, the distribution or the behavior of this disease. There is no discovered certain cure for it and the cases of complete recovery, it there have been such, are rare. To most Canadians it is happily only a name made familiar by biblical mention or by reports of missionaries to tar-off lands; and the estimate that there are 2,000,000 of these hopeless sufferers in the world comes to many people as a surprise. Coranuiuder Fisher was born in-'Bir- mingham in ISSH, and underwent his naval training at Dartmouth on the old «.;,oden battleship "Britannia." He spent tour years in China during the period of the Boxer Rebellion, and then having passed all his examina- tions with flying colors, he received very rapid promotion, and at the age of twenty was made a Lieutenant. He served for some years in the Mediter- ranean on H.M.S. Bacchante, flying the fiag of the late Admiral Sir Bald- win Walker, Bart, and later on the same ship under Admiral Sir Henry Jackson, the late First Sea Lord. Af- ter having qualified as a gunnery spec- ialist Commander Fisher served for a short time on the staff of the Director of Target Practice. Later he joined H.M.S. Bellerophon as Gunnery Officer and when in 1912 Mr. Winston Churchill introduced staff training in Nothwithstandlng.

Hotel Keeper, St. PhlUippe, Que. Sour IVIIIk. During the hot weather we think anxiously of the milk. People are al- ways giving you ways and means ot keeping milk when it has gone sour. Yet there are uses even for sour milk. In France milk is actually set aside to go sour for lots of culinary uses, such as rolls, milk soups, and junkets; and for people who are dys- peptic sour milk Is actually better than fresh! Of course, it should be made palatable by salt or sugar, ac- cording to preference. It is quite good sprinkled with castor-sugar and cinna- mon. For anyone with poultry sour milk is a good thing. Hens just love it mixed with their food, and it has a splendid effect both on their health and their eggs. Then, as a polish for leather goods, sour milk cannot be beaten, and especially for patent leather boots. Get a chamois leather' to rub with, and the result will be a joyiful surprise.
