THE TRUTH ALWAYS, "When you are in doubt tell the truth; was an experienced old diplomat who said this to a beginner in the work. It may pase in some things, but not in business. Fraud and decep- tion are often profitable so long as concealed; yet detection is certain sooner or later; then comes the smash-up and the punishment. The best and safest way is to tell the truth all the time. Thus you make friends that stick by you, and a reputation that is always worth twenty shillings to the pound everywhere your goods are offered for sale. We are able modestly to affirm, that it is on this basis that the world- wide popularity of
rests.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
The people have discovered that this medicine is exactly what it is said to be, and that it does what we have always declared it will do. Its nature also has been frankly made known. It is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and corative properties of Pare Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of a Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Mak and Wild Cherry. A combination of supreme excellence and medicinal merit. Nothing has been so successful in Anemia, Scrofala, Bron chitis, Influenza, Loss of Flesh and Wasting Diseases, Weakness and Low Nervous Tone, and ali complaints caused by Impure Blood. De. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada, says: "1 have used it in cases where cod liver oil was indicated but could not be taken by the patient, and the results following were very gratifying." It is effective from the first dose and agrees with the most sensitive and nervous stomachs. I cannot deceive or disappoint you, and comes to the rescue of those who have received no benefit from any other treatment. It stands for the medicinal triumphs of the age. "Watch carefully against imitations." Sold by 1526 chemists throughout the world.

WHERE NOISE IS KING.
WHAT A BOILERMAKER ENDURES.
No buman being endures so much in the way of deafening, ear-shattering noise as a Boilermaker. The whole place in which he works is filled with thunderous sound as of artillery-firing. Along as huge length fat boilers lie in stocks like giant iron canoes in process of building; while men, whose skins glisten in the light and heat, rush about with pincers holding red-hot rivets, which they thrust through the plates to have their pro- truding noses flattened by heavy hammers. Over everything the fierce light of the braziers makes weird shadows on the heaving muscles of workers.
A hard, wearing life it is and a little thing impairs a boilermaker's efficiency. As Mr. Thomas Houghton, a Birmingham boilermaker, recently said to a newspaper interviewer, even deranged digestion may incapacitate one. Mr. Houghton, some time ago, was compelled to give up his work, but he cured himself by Dr. Williams pink pills. Mr. Houghton, who lives at 65 Cuthbert-road, Winson Green, Birming- ham, England, said:
"I was a victim of wind and indigestion for a long time, and was frequently altacked by spasms, which were so painful that I was afraid to stoop at my work in case they should come

"At length I was attracted by an article in a Birmingham paper on the subject of the re- markable cures wrought by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. I persuaded my husband to let me give them a trial, and he obtained two
bottles. I had become so bad that I had to beat myself in order to get my breath, and it was misery to be about, and still worse to lie in bed. At the end of the second bottle I noticed a distinct improvement. I took five bottles alto- gether, and I am now in excellent health and can enjoy my food."
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Houghton raised any objection to the proposal that the interview should be given every publicity,
Men as well as women benefit by the new blood and new strength which Dr. Williams pink pills are able to give. But it is only the genuine pills which have the virtue.
