SCROFULA.

To cure Scrofula take
SCOTS Emulsion.
Scrofula may be described as
-" scattered consumption"
1t is consumption of the
small glands under the skin,
and these break out into the
sores. SCOTS Emulsion heals
these sores.
But there's more to the
story. The loss of flesh and
great weakness that comes
with Scrofula is a regular part
of the disease-the same as in
consumption of the lungs.
For sthis as for the sores,
SCOTS Emulsion is just the
remedy.
Flesh and strength are
gained BY the use of SCOTS
Emulsion quicker than in any
other way.
Scrofulous children improve
in every way on SCOTS Emul-
sion.

IL is Due soon-WiIl BE Visible TO the
Naked Eye.
A new comet will become visible to
us in the course Of week or less. 1t
is now approaching the earth at the
rate of three million miles day. It's
head is twenty times the size of the
earth while its tail is millions OF miles
long. At present it can only be seen
through telescope. In few days,
however, it will become visible to the
naked eye.
1t is gong to be the brightest lumi
nary of its kind that has visited this
planet since the big comet of 1882.
BY the end of October it should be a
very conspicuous object in the north
eastern sky. 1t will be visible for
about a month and half. In Toronto
the comet has been visible to the tel
escopic eye for several days.
The comets technical name is
Comet b, 1902. " BY this name it will
be known to- coming generations of
astronomers. About the middle of
November ii will pass in review be-
fore the sun, Then it will be lost to
view.

We're celebrating the contamination OF
the Anglo japanese alliance, upon
which the Japanese press comments
favorably. In China. also the news
papers refer in pleased manner to
the alliance.
A German newspaper published in
Yokohama says: 1T is a move which
will guarantee the peace OF the Orient
for a term of five years. We can think
of nothing that could occur to pre-
vent the alliance remaining in force
for an indefinite number of years.
Japan may now devote her entire
energies to internal reorganization and
consolidation. reduce her naval and
military budget and use the proceeds
to cover her domestic nakedness. The
alliance gives much to japan, but Wa
must not overlook the fact that Eng
lands position in the far east is so
Immensely strengthened by the alliance
that her position in Europe is proper
