TIN chief difficulty about a woman
doctor is, that if she was suddenly
called to attend to man who had
fallen down q shaft, and they told
her he was young man and unmsr-

liable to die from the violence of his

MINING HIsToRY.-The history of
British lead and silver mining reaches
back into the realms of tradition.
The mines at Combe Martin and Beer
Alston, in Devonshlre, are said to
have enriched Edward the First and
Edward the Second, and were re-
opened by Queen Elizabeth, Combe
Martin being discovered yesrs before
the reign Of Henry the Seventh,
The mines of the Nendip Hills were
known in the reign of Edward the
Fourth, rude map, drawn about
1880, being still extant, together with
q curious copy of the laws governing
the district. The famous lead mines
of the Aston Moor district, in Cum
berland, had royal protection in 1888,
and Richard the Second granted
privileges to Nicholas Vstsripont,
which were confirmed to his son by
Edward the Third. In 1920, the
mines were reported exhausted; but
in the eighteenth century they were
reopened. The Card ganshire mines
were certainly known IN the time Of
Henry the Seventh, and were GER
tainly worked during the seventeenth
century. In 1920 they were "boom-
ed" by the owners. and in 1893 the
public was favored with a highly
colored prospectus, which reads
curiously like soms of the modern
documents of that kind. Thus,
''with stock of 100000 and good
management, the said mines would
yield 4 yearly profit over and above
all charges of 9171,97o 19s. Cd. for
lead, besides the silver, which it is
believed will yield, one ton with
another, about fl4 in silver per ton
of metal, and may, in all probability,
double the valuation of these mines"
In 1900 the company WAS regularly
formed under the title of "The Gov
ernment and Company of Mine Ad-
venturers in England About $50
shareholders took the bait, embracing
people of every class, peers, bishops,
knights, farmers and shopkeepsrs;
but they never realized anything, and
the mines that started with such
brilliant prospects collapsed amid
flood of papers aud pamphlets of ac-
cusations and vindications.

process consisted of feeding the coal
in hopper, and forcing the gas and
smoke to pass through a body Of hot
coal. As far back IS 1906 the smoke
Of burning sea coal was considered to
be so injurious to public health that
the King of England issued an order
forbidding its use. 1t is alleged that

In the mercantile trade there is no
improvement of moment to note in
either speculative or distributive
circles. The season has advanced
into the period of dullnsss usually
experienced before the Christmas and
New Year holidays, and it is not
likely that there will 30 any marked
revival of trade until after the turn
of the coming year. The manufac-
turing interest is depressed, and the
reduction of wages, followed by
strikes on the part of the operatives
and the closing of establishments by
proprietors is not uncommon. The
reduced production consequent upon
these circumstances must eventually
lead to more healthy condition of
trade.

ttWell, that was a lady also. She had
been affected with the eczema for four
years. Her face, hands and arms, as well
as her body, was covered over with sores
and scabs. It was one of the worst cases
of this terrible disease that I have ever
seen. The suffering Of the poor creature
was beyond ex xpression. She tried every

and iodide of potash, but she only grew
worse. She was in this condition when |

Swift's Specific, and she has now only
taken two bottles, but every mark of the
disease has almost entirely disappeared.
Her strength: and. general health have

remarkable cures that has come under
my observation -. .;t. :;
"Mr Campbell, you have had long
and varied experience in mingling with
men, and observing their Affections and
the remedies used-what Is your opinion
as to the merits of Swift's Specific ?"
"In ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class of society, and
have observed closely the, variety. OF. dis
eases which afflict humanity. Blood dis
eases are the most numerous and. the
most difficult to remove. In my eaHier
life, Sands Sarsaparilla was the great
blood purifier. Many others have come

judgment that Swift's Specific is the
grandest blood purifier ever discovered,
There is nothing comparable to it. There
