DYSPEPSIA.
While one of the commonest of the so- called minor complaints, dyspepsia is responsible for an inordinate amount of Buffering. Indeed, it affects some people so terribly that they actually dread to take food. Many conditions produce this disorder, which may last so long and becoin to severe that the unfortunate Bufferer becomes exceedingly thin, weak, anemic, and the victim of many nervos
conditions.
Such a food is Sanatogen, for the rea- Hon, as that famous physician, Dr. Gumpert has stated in one of the leading medical journal of the world, that Sanatogen is absorbed without leaving any residue.

Mr. Balfour received an enthusiastic greeting on rising to propose "The Royal Scottish Corporation." Ilo said:

It is hard for us to put ourselves in the position of Scotsman coming in the train of James the Sixth of Scotland and the First of England, and seeking his fortunes in the of this island. No doubt southern part he spoke the same speech. No doubt the literature of Scotland can never be con sidered apart from the literature of Eng and, for, go back as far as you will, ye the two countries through an unhappy fate had not only been separated but had been antagonistic for centuries before, and the memories, the greatest patriotic memories, of every Scotsman went back to the time when he was fighting his English brother. Whatever England did, Scotland, from the very necessities of her. then political situation, did the opposite. (Laughter.) She could not do otherwise. And those memories which to us are mere history were to the Scotsman who came south when this great corporation was begun living memories. Their fathers, their grandfathers, their great-grandcountry and a member of that groat fathers, back for many generations, could have supplied them with endless details of feuds, rivalries, bloody combats, hostile diplomacy, endless wars. No wonder that the Scotsman felt himself a stranger in the southern land, and that foeling naturally went on for many years after the Union of the Crowns and for not a few years after the Union of the coun- tries.
