ARBITRATION.
DISPUTES ALRE'DY SETTLED BY IT.
At the conclusion of the Peace Conference at the Hague the Press was almost unanimous in declaring that the sum of its labnirs may be expressed in the single ward, arbitration. Every other question was relegated to the rear, while the pronouncement in favour of arbitra-, tion as the guiding principle in international ⚫ disputes was brought into relief. The establish
ment of a permanent tribunal, with the power to enforce its adjudications, was a matter for future arrangement, but voluntary arbitration was laid down as the solution of all but the gravest disputes. That arbitration is not a chimera of unpractical enthusiasts is proved- by the king list of successful arbitraments. which have taken place within the last three- quarters of a century. fere is a list of the chief international arbitraments since 1839 —

THEY WILL REMAIN The bump of reverence le overshadowed by the bump of intelligence in the 10th century man and woman: Old things are not pre served simply because they are old. What soever is no longer useful must get out of the. way Nevertheless, progress that is not intelligent will not be permanent. We shall continue to breathe air, drink water and eat bread. There will be no "improvement" on the great essentials of living, and we do not want any. Babies will come into the world as they have from the beginning, and people will die out of it as they have done since the world began. Let us not run away with the idea that all of our treasured opinions are to be upset, Through every change, all things which, like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION have builded a reputation on honour and good service, will hold their place. This effective remedy belongs to the past, the present and the future. It is not only up-to- date
but ahead of date. For Wasting Diseases, Impaired Nutrition, Influenza, Lung Troubles, Impuie Humors in the blood with resulting skin affections, etc., it possesses the confidence of physicians and the people every- where. It is not expected to fail; it never does fail. The formula after which it is made
is an inspiration. It contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry It is palatable as honey, and yet so medicinal as to be effective from the first dose: Pro- fessor, Reddy, of Canada, says: "I have much pleasure in stating that I have used it in cases of debility and have found it to be a very valuable remedy as well as pleasing to take." To trust it and try it is to be satisfied and thankful. "You cannot be disappointed in it." Sold by chemists here and everywhere throughout the world and A. B. Watson Con Limited,

This is the age of research and experiment, when all nature, so to speak, is ransacked by, the scientific for the comfort and happiness of man. Science has indeed made giant strides during the past century, and among the by no means least important-discoveries in medicine comes that of Therapion, particulars of which will be found in another column. This pre- paration is unquestionably one of the most genuine and reliable Patent Medicines ever introduced, and has, we understand, been used in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jober', Velpeau, Maisonneuve, the well-known Chassaignac, and indeed by all those who are regarded as authorities in such matters, including the celebrated Lallemand, and Roux, by whom it was some time sincé uniformly adopted, and that it is worthy the attention of those who require such a remedy we think there is no doubt. From the time of Aristotle downwards, a potent agent in the removal of these diseases has (like the famed philosopher's stone) been the object of search of some hopeful, generous minds; and far beyond the mere power-if such could ever have been discovered-of transmuting the baser metals into gold is surely the discovery of a remedy so potent as to replenish the failing energles of the confirmed roud in the one case, and in the other so effectually, speedily and safely to expel from the system without the aid, or even the knowledge, of a second party, the poisons of acquired or 'inherited disease in all their protean forms as to leave no taint or trace behind. Such is The New French Remedy Therapion, which may certainly rank with, if not take precedence of, many of the discoveries of our day, about which no little ostentation and noise have been made, and the extensive and ever increasing demand that has been created for this medicine wherever introduced appears to prove that it is destined to cast into oblivion all those questionable remedies that were formerly the sole reliance of medical men. Therapion may be obtained in England, direct from the proprietor, and of all the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the Colonies, India, China, Japan, &c., the many agents for same, including the well-known firms of Lennon, Ltd.
