the cold-avoid them.
A pain in the back means disor-
dered kidney, often produced by cold.
A pain in the face. neck, head or chest
is too often neuralgia-hot applica-
tions are beneficial and be sure to use
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla moder-
ateIy.
Pains in the joints and muscles are
rheumatic pains, produced often by ex-
posure and cold and cured often by
the moderate use of Joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla.
Pains in the bowels may mean a dis
ordered liver, a cold in the bowels or
chronic constipation; if you use Joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla these pains will
disappear and mean nothing.
Pains in the stomach spring from
disordered digestion and spring out
again when you use joys Vegetable

Headaches, pains over the brow,
pains at the back of the head, pains on
top Of the head or temple, are relieved

relieved by the use of joys Vegetable

in order to compel the resignation of the
premier, Mckenzie Bowel, whose atti-
tude in the matter they had not been in
sympathy with. AS these ministers con-
stitute about all the material at hand for
cabinet making there is no. doubt
Bowel will be obliged to retire, if he has
not done SO already. Sir Charles Topper
will succeed him, but it is not expected
that Upper can command a majority in
the House Of Commons for any length of
time. SO that the fall of Bowel really
means the speedy dissolution of Parlia-
ment and an appeal to the country with
the chances Of success strongly in favor
of the Liberals.
