Thrown from III. Cab and Killed.

The following Is a most interesting
and. In one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr. ]. Pope. AZ Ferrar Road. Streat-
ham, England, said:
Yes, poor chap. he is gone dead
horse bolted, thrown of his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate.
1t was him, you see, who gave me the
half-bottle OF St. Jacobs Oil that
made new man OF me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given
him bottle Of st. Jacobs OIL which
had done him lot OF good he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that had been a martyr to rheuma-
tism and sciatica for years. that I had
literally tried everything, had doctors.
and all without benefit, / became dis.
couraged, and looked upon 1t that
there was no help for me. Well" said
Pope, you may not believe me, for
1t is a miracle, but before had
used the contents of the balf-bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman
gave me, was a well man. There
1t is, you see, after years OF pain, after
using remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments. and spent money on
doctors without getting any better,
was completely cured in a few days.
l bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but 1t did not,
SO | gave the bottle away to friend
who had a lame back | can't speak
too highly of this wonderful pain

AS THE WORLD
REVOLVES
FAMILIARITY A VICE.

1t Is greatly TO be feared that fami-
liarity Is one of the vices of the age.
You will hear little Cadsby Toad, who
once happened to be In the same room
as his grace the duke OF Tetbury, al
ways speak of that distinguished no
bleman as "Tetbury," and having oc-
casionally found himself in the same
field with that enthusiastic sportsman,
my Lord Cobunter, will make a point
of abiding to him as "Cubby." This
will, perhaps, scarcely give you cause
for establishment, but you can hardly
understand people, who ought to know
better, continually writing and talking
of Earl Roberts as "Bobs." We are
apt in the present day to sheer at our
ancestors. but | do not think they
would have forgotten themselves so far
as to call Lord Nelson Horny" or to
speak of the great duke Of Wellington
as "Arty." Such authorizations and
nicknames may be all very well as APP
piled to popular pugilists, but they are
distinctly out of place in referring to
distinguished commanders. Equally
Objectionable is the familiar manner
with which other notable people are
treated. Why should the colonial sec
rotary be spoken and written about as
Joe Chamberlain, and why should
the editor of Truth be brought before
the public as "Labby?" In addition to
these and many other instances 1t
seems to me to be both slangy and dis
respectful to speak of the soldiers of
the king as "Tommies. y. Ashby-

The full measure OF postal progress which

on the government through the intrenched

grown up In connection with second class

That expense would be the recognized and
accepted cost of liberal public policy de-
liberately adopted for justihable end. But
much Of the matter which enjoys the privi-
legged rate is wholly outside OF the intent OF

IT IS THE WAY YOU USE 1T.
It's the Method Employed Which Makes
Success or Failure.


One man with pen, ink and paper
can produce a landscape, another man
with same pen and ink may not be
able to write his own name legibly.
1t is all in knowing how.
1t is equally true in the use of
medicines. The same remedies we
have today have existed for thous-
ands of years, but if their existence
was known the knowledge of how to
use them was lacking.
They became valuable to the human
race only when experiment and sci
ence showed the way to use them to
get results.
The grip is an old disease with a
new name; it Is really catarrhal in
character and the usual symptoms
are those of acute catarrh, but the
old time catarrh powders, salves and
sprays do not cure it, neither does
the application of antiseptics through
an inhaler give anything more than
limo
The antiseptics are all right; they
will kill the germs of catarrh and
grip if they are applied rightly, but
their local application to the nose and
throat avail little because the germs
are in the blood and through the
whole system.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
many of these same antiseptics, that
are used in sprays and inhalers, but
instead of applying them to the in
famed membranes of the nose and
throat, they are taken into the stom
ach and thus reach the blood, the rea
seat of the disease and drive out the
infectious germs through the natura
channels of the bowels and kidneys
In other words Stuart's Catarrt
Tablets reach the cause of the mis-
chief instead of merely local symp
toms.
The remarkable success of these
tablets in curing grip, catarrh ant
throat and lung troubles, is because
they drive the catarrh poison from
the system and the nose and throa
become clear of the excessive secre
! ton of mucus, which causes tin
hawking, splitting and gagging, be
cause the secretion is not supplied
from healthy blood.
Two years ago. stuart's sCatarrl
Tablets were unknown but toda!
have become so popular through posi-
tive merit that druggists everywhere
In the United States, Canada ant
Great Britain now sell them.
