DR.
OF BACK PAING, THE OTHEE OF A NERVOUS DISORDIE, BY WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The unshaken pablie confidence enjoyed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for a period now extanding over twenty years rests to a very large extent upon the fact that they have been so intimately associated with the health, and consequently with the happiness and pros perity, of so many families in practically every civilised country in the world. No mattor where you may go, no matter what city, town, or even village you may visit, there you are almost. sure to find not merely individuals bat familles several of whose members ore health and strength to the curative powers of this unique medicine.
It is no uncommon thing for husband and wife, father and son, mother and daughter to give joint testimony for publication in ovidence of thoir gratitude for benefits derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Latters of thanks from parents regarding the cure of their children are frequent. The following communication from Mr. J. van Achterberg, a professor of music at Smarang, Java, tells of benelits derived by brother and sister.
The Edinburgh Book of Scoitish Verse, Selooted and edited by W. MAGNETLE DIKON. London: Meiklejohn & Holder. Professor Dixon has done for Scottish poetry what has been done for English and Irish pastry, and prodnood a national collection, which, while it is interesting and instructivo to men and women of other rates, must strongly appeal to those who eaim the land north of the Twood as their birthplace. A selection has been made from the works of Boottish poets, | beginning with John Barbour, who sang of freedom and the donghty deeds of tobort the Bruce, and it will be evident that some discrimination was natessary to cream the writings of the numerous poets who lived in Scotland or flourished out of it during the six In the first hundred years from 1300 to 1900. place, the volume is instructive, inasmuch as it brings to notics the names of poets almost forgotten or little known. Moreover, the obronological order in which the poems are placed affords an opportunity of noting the growth of the Scottish language, and the zum- ber of words which still survive in the speech of the commonalty of Scotland must strike the reader as remarkable. Secondly, the book is valuable because it rescues from oblivion many pooms which, dispite the barrier of language, are worthy of preservation. In the long list of Scottish posts, bringht under notice in this collection, numbering about two hundred, all walks of life and all ranks are represented Burns, of course, occupies the place of honour. He was a ploughman, Robert Tannsbill was a weayer, Jannes Hogg a shepherd, Allan Ramsay a book-seller, Alexander Anderson a railway- man, Jobu Stuart Blackie a professor. The Bench and the Bar contributed soverál poots, while dokes, marquises, knights, and titled ladios successfully wooed the oven the Scottish Kings included poets amody their number. A feature of Scottish ministreley parent from a study of this work is the number of songs still heard in Scotland the authors of which are unknown.. A considerable number of pages is devoted to poems and songs under the The emergency ration recently adopted for title of "Anonymous," among them being United States Army is composed of the such favourite songs as "There's nas ok chocolate, nuolen cssein, malted milk, dosciented | shout the boose," Lectie Lindsay," "The our, sugar and cocoa butter.
