treal this week is entertaining the
trade kings of the British empire, the
occasion being the fifth congress OF
the Chambers of Commerce of the
empire and the first meeting of the or
ganization ever held outside of Great
Britain. When, more than year ago,
the Montreal Chamber of Commerce
invited the organization to hold its
next meeting in. Canada, 1t was pre-
dicted that the event would prove of
great commercial Importance to the
Dominion. The full measure of this
importance, however, was not appre-
ciated until today when the gathering
was formally opened and the visitors
officially greeted on behalf of the Do
minion government. the city of Mon
treal and the commercial interests of
Canada. Those present included Il
strong delegation representing Eng
land. and its varied industries, from
the shipping interests of London and
Liverpool to all the diversified manu-
factures of the midland counties. In
addition to these delegates from the
mother country there We're present
representatives of the British Cham
Der OF Commerce of Paris; of Kimber-
ly, South Africa; of Maseru, Basuto-
land of Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony;
of Colombo. Ceylon; OF Alden, and OF
many other self.governing colonies OF
the British empire.
The discussion will commence in
earnest tomorrow and will continue
through the week. Among the mat
ters to be considered, in addition to
fiscal policy. are postal reforms. emf
grafton. and the assimilation of the
commercial law of the empire. At
the conclusion of the congress the del
egates will visit Ottawa and afterward
start on tour of Canada The tour
will occupy six weeks. The delegates
went to Chicago and for some time
was known as the Napoleon of the
wheat pit" In his wheat speculation
he made several million dollars, but
finally lost all.
In 1903, while in Florida, he met
cia, New York woman, who many
years previous nau married an lldl-
ian nublemau. The duches was about
73 years OF age and Dwyer was 80.
Nine months alter the marriage Mrs.
Dwyer died leaving an estate
Of more than S3,O0O,OO0. She
left Dwyer $40. He and granddaugh-
ter, the Countess di Calderozzo, con
tested the WILL which, after SIX years,
was admitted to probate. After the
death oi his aged wife, Dwyer travelled
in the west, organizing mining and
land companies. Many of these have
returned millions TO the investors, OF
which he has received nothing. Ac-
cording TO Jesse Grant Rowe, Dryers
counsel, he discovered the silver
mines in the state of Zacatecas. MeXi-
co, which are today the best paying
silver mines in the world.

of doing injury to

OF their affirmation making up for lack
OF argument and want of evidence
And the worst OF all doginatists are
those doctors who, barking back to some
Old dogma OF the schools, insist that
certain patients are beyond all medical

are beyond the limited medical know
ledge Of the dogmntist
'When the physicians had given me

Golden Medical Discovery" That state
mcnt. varied sometimes in form but
identical ia fact, is one of the common
expressions found in the letters of those
cured hy nGolden Medical Discovery -
Sometimes the statement runs; "I was
given up bv four doctors" showing a
desperate effort to hnd relief in local
practitioners but however the story
begins, II almost invariably ends with
the statement, am perfectly cured by
DR. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery
Persons suffering from 7weak" lungs,
hcmouhagcs, deep seated cough, eua-
ciltiou and weakness, have been restored
to perfect health by the Discovery"
The philosophy OF the cures effected
by tins marvellous medicine is not hard
to understand. Life is sustained by
food. digcstcd and assimilated. The
basis Of health is good appetite and
sound digestion. In Slmost all cases of
disease loss OF appetite is an early symp-
tom, and this is promptly followed by
wasting OF the flesh. For some cause
the food eaten is not being converted
into nutrition and the body and its or
gans, being starved. must grow weak.
There is only one way to get strength
and that Is by food. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery heals diseases of the
stomach and allied organs of digestion
and nutrition, 50 enabling the body to
nssimilatc the needed nourishment.
Thus various forms OF weakness" so-
called, are cured by the u Discovery
uweak" lungs, rweak" heart, weak"
nerves, 0weak" or sluggish liver, etc,
because the organs are made strong by
food, which is perfectly digested and
