Not Everywhere Strife "s
Fresh the Bloom"

Men hurl their bombs across the bays,
The hills give back the cannon's roar; !;
With eager eyes the gunners gaze
Upon the havoc wrought ashore;
The war ships decks are red with blood
And on the swollen rivers banks,
Prepared to breast the angry flood,
Are soldiers massed in mighty ranks,
But in the dell
The slim harebell
Will rise, ere long, to court the breeze
AS if DER all of Gods bright world
The battle flags were softly furled
And white sails dotted placid seas.
Stark forms in frozen trenches lie,
The roll of drums is on the air;
Men hurry on to kill or die.
Inspired by the trumpets' blare:
The work of years is battered down,
And stricken people leave in haste
Their hard-won homes back in the town
That soon shall be smoking waste,
But in the glens
And on the fens
The nestlings still shall try their wings;
The violet and buttercup
Will soon be gladly waking up
To sip the dew that morning brings.

RjADIUM a. BLESSING
PHYSICIAN TELLS OF CURES IT
HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
Diseases Which Had Been Thought
Beyond the Power Of Science to
Help Have Vanished Before the
Action of This Marvellous Sub
stance.

The experiments OF scientists with
a:adium are daily revealing fresh cura-
tive properties in that wonderful and
precious mineral Perhaps the most
curious instance OF it's influence is
that recorded below of the cure of
somnambulist who was addicted to
wife-beating.
This was described recently by DR..
Darier, the eminent oculist In an in
teresting conversation which our
Paris correspondent had with him he
mentioned some curious results which
he had obtained in his work by ex-
perimenting with radium.
He recently treated case OF rodent
ulcer of the orbit, which had DESTROYED
the ocular globe and all the tissues.
Although the patient had for two
years suffered from pains SO intoler-
able that during that period he had
not enjoyed a single nights rest, his
agony was completely and almost in
stantly ended by the introduction of
radioactive power
External application of radium has
shown that it is powerful agent in
calming neuralgia and rheumatic pains
and in ;a1laying the excruciating suf-
fering caused by cancers which can
not be operated upon On the other
hand, DIR. Darier is bound ito admit
tnat he failed to obtain any definite
result in so far as an Improvement
Of the vision itself is concerned, and
docs toll
of those who speak of restoring sight
TO the blind
In "a (case treated by the doctor a
woman who had long suffered from
'epileptic fits and giddiness has not
had a single attack since radium of
weak intensity was applied to the tenn
pie.
''Radium was also tried with sue
cess said DR.. Darier, ION a male pa
tient who suffered from strange SOM
nambulistic attacks, during which he
would get up, maltreat his wife and
break everything within reach. Then
he would leave the house and roam
Il 4 b9lt the streets for two OF three
hours, at the end ~ WHICH time he
would return home, go to bed and fall
asleep again. So frequent did these
violent fits become that his wife left
him.
He came to me and I treated him
with radium applications for twelve
days. Then he disappeared, and I
heard nothing more of him for about
three months, when he and his wife
came to tell me that the affliction from
which he formerly suffered had gone
and that they were living together
again.
'S1 have since treated other nervous
patients with radium, notably a lady
who suffered from photophobia, or
fear of the Tight. She was very neu-
rasthenic and believed that She was
ataxic. She could not walk without
falling and her eyes were SO weak
that she could not bear the light OF
day and had to wear dark spectacles.
i diagnosed her trouble as neurasthe-
MIA OF hysterical origin and I tried
radium applications of a stronger
kind than in the cases have ALREADY
mentioned, three hours per day on both
temples. At the end of the third dav
she could bear the light without spec-
tacles and could read and do needle

robust health, and yet five years ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emacintion.. Tos reporter she told the
following story !:
In 1896 began to have distressing
attacks OF indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as If it was OH fire. It
became finally 30 delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me in bed most of the time. was
really starving to death and besides was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which was too weak to attempt.
"One day when I was SO faint and
chilled that Icoulddo nothing but crouch
down OH the floor by the fire, my father
brought me a box of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. I found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. ], really felt better
after three doses and / kept on using
them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
1G5 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that I was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. I resumed my housework aud
