upon by those interested in medical

not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good. and
two or three people said his days
were short. even the doctors. two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. | stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodds

eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone. but to

Then she showed me a book, filed
with many examples OF her own

"Mama's wedding gown" etc.
But the most interesting book or
set of books, was the baby's own au-

PENsloNlNo THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done In the Matter.

Done In the Matter.
The aged are generally held in re-
spect. but not more SO than in the
United States" So says United States
Consul General Gowdy at Paris in a
report in regard to the care of the
aged in France. For more than half
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged. but not with en-
tire success. The law now in force,
which was adopted in 1895. is not al
together satisfactory and will probably
be amended in the near future.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless OF
age. but the amount may not exceed
500 francs t$96.50) in the course OF a
year. An account may be opened for
child three years Of age; a married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. At any age
between fifty and siXty-five Cor earlier
In case OF permanent disability to
work. the depositor may claim his an
nuity. which is calculated according
to the amount of his deposit and in
terest and the probabilities Of life. but
the annuity may not exceed 1900
francs (s231.5O).
In rural districts the tax gatherer
Is empowered to receive deposits and
in many factories certain percentage
Is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Caisse in the workman's name.
A branch OF the Caisse may be
founded in any town or village. with
the permission OF the project OF the
department. and there are about 1900
OF such branches. with nearly 100000
depositors.

use in all cases of weakness, from what

In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anamia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines SO many virtues.
