Neuralgia,
Nervous Breakdown-
NURSE HALL, c/o Mrs. Bassett, Commercial Place, Landport, Portsmouth, Eng., writes: "I was suffering from nervous breakdown with Internal Neuralgia, when I began a course of Phosferine. After having taken it for three or four months, I felt better than I had done for two years previously, and consider it the best tonic I have ever tried. As a remedy for all nervous disorders 1 think there is nothing to equal Phosferine, especially as I was given up by more than one doctor previous to taking Phosferine, and can- now say I am perfectly yell and strong, and have. taken nothing else."
No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary priperties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

AMERICAN AGENT'S CLAIM.
Mr. George A. Keesler, who is familiarly known as the Champagne King," as he is the exclusive agent of the Mort and Chandon firm in the United States, Canada, and the Island. of Cuba, las started a lawsuit against the firm of Chandon et Cie, before the Tribunal of Commerce at Epernay, over a question of what might be called a bonus or annual subvention of 1,000,000 francs which the firm has paid him for a number of years, and which at the renewal of their contract they object to continus to pay.
The case is the most sensational heard for years at Epernay, and the importance altached to it may be judged from the fact that on the one side the case was defended for Mr. Kessler by a former Minister of Justice, Me. Valls, and on the other sido for MM. Chandon et Cie, by another former Minister, and not the least famous, Me. A. Millerand.
CROWDED COURT,
The total amount in litigation is set down at about 16,000,000 francs (£640,000). The hearing of the case drew a large attendance to the Palais de Justice, and a detachment of police was required to keep the public from crowding into the
court-room1.
The case. as pat for Mr. Kessler by Mr. Vaile, was as follows: Mr. Kessler, he said, was appointed sole agent in 1885 of the Moet and Chandon firm in the United States, Canada, and Cuba. In 1901 he renewed his contract which was signed by Gaston, Jean Remy, and Claude Chandon. The same contract was renowed and modified in 1902, 1903, and remained in vigour till 1913; and a formal promise was given for the renewal of the same contract from December 31st, 1913, to the end of the year 1920, with the identical Mr. Kessler conditions and clauses.
alleges that he received 800,000f. at the renewal of the conract in 1901, and yearly. subventions on an average of 1,000,000.. and on one occasion 1,200,000f.
It is over the question of the continua. tion of these annuities or subventions. Mr. that the litigation has arisen. Kessler alleges that this sum is mainly spent in advertising, or is owing to him for sums already spent in that way, and he herefore claims the payment of a saI of 000.000f. for the presont renewal of his contract, and secondly the payment of a sum of 1,000,000f. a year for sixteen years: and, furthermore, the maintenance of the same price of the wine as hitherto so long as competing firms do not raise their prices.
MM. Chandon et Cia., on the other hand, state that they are willing to renew the contract, but they refuse to pay further annuities, the payment of these in the part having been simply free con- tributions which they are not obliged to pay by any stipulations of their contract. Me Vallé gave copious details of the ingenuity displayed and the expenses gone to by his client in the interests of the Arm.
The following is vite of the anecdotes he related. In 1902, when the brother of the German Emperor, Prince Henry of Prussia, visited the United States and attended as sponsor the christening of the Kaiser's yacht, the Metror, Miss Alice Roosevelt, who was the godmother, was to break a bottle of German champagne aver the bow of the ship. Prince Henry had brought some bottle over specially for: this purpose. But to his surprise, the bottle broken by Miss Alice Roosevelt at the epreniony was not the one he had sup plied, but a bottle of Moet and Chandon, The change was due to Mr. Kessler's ingenuity. The Kaiser hinsclf took the matter pleasantly, and when afterwards Mr. Kessler sent him a bottle, with thei white seal, in a beautiful case exactly like the one that had been supplied to Mias Alice Roosevelt, he sent a letter in reply to say that he would keep the bottle-in-the-

PREPETUAL ELECTRIC CURRENT.
DISCOVERY BY A DUTCHMAN.
Both Ampere and Clausius suggested that at absolute zero-or, in other words, in the complete absence of heat-rircari- city would pss. without hindrance: through any conductor of pure metal. Ta has, however, been left to a Dutchman of science, Professor. Kamerlingh Onnes, of Leyden, to put these theories to the proof, and to carry out suggestions which bring the perpetual electric current within the bounds of possibility.
01
Professor d'Arsonval read a paper before the Academy of Science at Paris giving the result of Professor Onnes reseaches. Professer Onnes has for many years been working on the subject of the behaviour of metals at low temperatures. Some time ago he succeeded in liquefy ing belium at a temperature of 4.5 deg. Centigrade above the absolute zera temperature, of 268.5deg. C. below th freezing point of water. In the course of his experiments the prof 5sor di covered that at a temperature about that of liquid helium the resistance offered b. certain metals to the passage of a electric current apparently, disappors The temperatures are: For mercury 4.19drg C. b; fortin, 38des. C. abs.: and for lead. deg. C. abs practical test of his discovery Professo Onnes wound 1,000 turns of very fine lea wire on to a hohhin. At an ordinar: temperature the wire offered a "est tan of 726 ohms. But when the hobbin wa plunged into a bath of liquid helium th meistar apparently disappeared, and the eletric current which had For induced into the circuit oontinued to Fo for many hours without any perceptibl diminution.

Whether the result obtained is due te the removal of electrical resistance or t a recaperation of the circuit hy molecula or atorie dissolution is a new problem for seience.
THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills-What they are and what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.
It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When Le various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in "Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.
One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.
The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.
The third is a DIURETIC, which gives case and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.
The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purfing the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels..
From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body. which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are dr.co from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.
Dr. Mouse's INDIAN ROOT PILLs are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and Clean, impervious to moisturė, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not, deteriorate by keeping as all liquid médicines do.
