"The difficulty of removing fish bones
and similar distractions impacted at
the lower end OF the ocSophagus is well
known. one of the most simple. effec-
tual remedies is to administer a pint Of
milk. and. forty minutes afterward. an
emctic of sulphate of zinc. The fluid
easily passes the obstruction. and is. Of
course. rapidly c%oagulated in the stom-
ach into n more or less solid mass,
which. on being elected. forces the OBJ
struction before il. and so effects its
removal" This is. doubtless. an excel
tent recipe in ONE respects: but it is

with a fish bone in his throat, sitting

y leading American Crnith0logist
says that some of our most desirable
birds are threatened with eXtermina-
ton. The commOn quail and rutiied
grouse are becoming very scarce.
Wrens and bluobirds are driven from
their old haunts by sparrows. Terms

but collectors of eggs are also respon-
sible for great destruction. Protection
of birds must come through the educa-
ton of the people, especially the rising
generation. and by protective legisla-
ton sustained by game wardens. Thus
far no State Legislature has given the
subject the attention it deserves. and
must soon demand if the present az
ages continue.

the treatment afforded no relief and
we began to fear that her trouble had
gone beyond human aid On a number
Of occasions had read in the papers
Of cases of rheumatism being cured by
the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and this at last determined US TO give
them trial She had used some three
boxes before any improvement was
noticed; and then We began TO notice
that she slept better and that her appe-
tite was improved. Then the pains
gradually began to subside, and after
using about dozen boxes she was able
TO get up and walk about She con-
tinued the use OF the pills for q while
longer, and although occasionally she
feels twinges of the trouble in change

DR.. Williams Pink Pills strike at
the root OF the disease, driving it from
the system and restoring the patient
-p health and strength. In cases of par
alysis. spinal troubles, loeomotor ataxis,
seiatia, rheumatism, erysipelas, scro-
fulus troubles, etc, these pills are su-
perior to all other treatment They
are also specific for the troubles which
make the lives OF so many women a
burden. and speedily restore the rich
glow OF health TO the cheeks. Men
broken down by overwork, worry or
excess, will find the Pink Pills a GER
ain cure.
