1IIi0io6 1iIc Has earned for itself
."......Y..r.M. the cnviable reputa-
tion of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, HEADACHE. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters, proves its true merits and
acccptability to the public. 1t is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it, will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not de-
pend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
ANTIPYRlNE, MORPHINE,
CHLORAL AND COCAINE,
Since it does not contain an atom of
either OF these. 1t is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear or serious
results. 1t is not Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach. and contains
no noxious or sickcning ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi.
grainc consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as cure for any kind of head
ache-without respect to cause-leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after-efiects,
as in the case of other so-called "harm-
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and salcablc article in

Socialists and Trade Unions.

\ writer in the capitalist press states that "nothmg stands h,twrpu modern society and Socialism hut the trad" union of the British typr' and that the "cNtrcme school of Eu5,rh N.cial,sls havr, therefore, thrmp-l powerful mo- uyrs for breaking up British uade umoui,m." Such a stalemrnt can only l." described a1 gross ignorance or mis- rhI"Nous Caluuny when we consider that it is Socialists and Socialists alone who have rcviyficd trade unionI-m in this country. The writer might well have said that Socialists had assaiied the older unions on aCCOdnt of their mean ness and apathy towards the bulk of their fellows. hu the slHndcr quoted above Is in complete defiance of the fact that of every hundred unions formed within the last year or two probably uiuely-iiye have been initiated worked up, and carried on by avowed Socialists, We know only too well that many of these can scarcely survive the next com mercal crisis; but with Soc aIl~lS &, with others the heart will at times prove master of the head, and we spring eagerly forward to secure some am"ilor- aton of the workers lot even while we know l. to be but a temporary gam at best.
