everything is carried suspended on
poles. In one Of the streets we had TO
crowd up against the walls to let a
wedding procession pass. Through
the crowd came a struggling band
with shrill, changing Instruments
that announced the approach Of the
wedding. On poles were carried all

me Canse of Constinatlon.

Constipation is. in some cases, the
direct result from a torpid or slow
acting Liver, brought about by the
Withholding Of the flow of bile. This
condition is commonly allied with
more or less indigestion and dys-
pepsia, partly due to the constipation
itself.
Many persons have found it com
paratively easy to overcome such con
ditions with a treatment of Rexall
Liver Salts.
In our Judgment, we feel that this
preparation is remarkably well fitted
to overcome these conditions, and
recommend them to you with the
understanding that any money you
may have spent with us for the pre-
paratiOn will be refunded in case
there are no beneficial results.

Canton is situated ninety miles up
the Pearl river. Our trip was full Of
experiences. Soon after leaving Hong
kong our sympathies went out to a
mother OF bound feet whose baby had
Just died. The captain stated that
death on the boat was very common
among third class passengers. A
medicine man had given the little
one some concoction Of lizards or
beetles Just before leaving, and it
proved fatal. The heartbroken moth
er received gifts from her sympathetic
fellow passengers, but she refused to
be comforted Some Chinese students
OF modern medicine among the second

is old Canton itself. Here in the mar
row streets are the moving crowds,
mostly of men with waists bare or
shirts loosely gathered around their
necks, with heads half shaven and
cues hanging down to their ankles.
Now and then stalks leisurely a small
footed woman.
There are streets Of curios. streets
of silks, streets of furniture makers,
and streets Of meat and fish and vego-
tables venders. and streets OF restau-
rants. These streets are twisting and
bending and labyrinthine.
We came back to the Cleveland IN
the evening without any casualties.
Some one says that Canton gives \
taste of China. While it gives a flavor
that will never wear off, yet it is
rather slum flavor and does not rep
resent Peking and the great Chinese
empire.
