"I've Tried Everything!"

Tindeed a pitiful thing to see. BE pair of the chronic invalid Not only has he to bear his ill-health but his mind is oppress- ed with the idea that he is sentenced to a life of misery from which there is no escape. And this makes matters worse. His friends try to help all theyacan, recommend this and that, all with no avail. What can he do?

There is only one solution. The health of the body, as- suming no serious organie defect, depends upon the condition of the blood-atream. There are few, if any ailments which can. retain their foothold when the blood is plentiful, rich and pure. Therefore if you are weak and alling you should build up and enrich your blood-stream by a course of

Men will differ as to whether this Government is a coalition, or a co-operation, or an emergency ar- rangement, and whether its task should be permanent or short-lived. Those who place a tariff before everything else regard this as what un Oxford don would call an ad hoc Cabinet, or he might describe it as pro hac vice, to be get rid of as soon to possible.

Others think that a tariff should follow as the sequence of a re- habilitated credit, observing that neither the Dominions nor foreign nations will be keen to enter on a tariff deal with a country whose eurrency is unstable.

The Immediate Facts. Whatever view may be taken of an early or postponed appeal to the electors, the immediate facte aro that the four most important posts in a Cabinet of ten are held by men who the day before yesterday were the Labour-Socialists leaders, that four are held by Conservatives, and that two are held by Liberals.

I am glad that this should be called a National Government, and in time we may make it so. Let us try, but in order that an amalgam Masonry the may become solid of coment leadership and pro- paganda are requisite,

His grandfather was described to me by Asquith as "a good, sound Liberal." His uncle,! the late earl, was a cautious Whig who tiptoed from Liberal Unionism to Home Rule and then back to Unionism, when Asquith forgot Lord Portsmouth in his last Ministry. ¡

This world-famed remedy goes right to the root of health troubles. Allments caused by blood impoverishment, such as phalext weakness, nervous prostration, dyspepsia, insomnia, breathlessness, pulpitation, and ailments caused by blood impurity, such as rheumatism and scintien, have been successfully treated in thousands of cases in all parts of the world during the past forty years. People who "have tried everything" have finally found relief in the splendid blood-rehabilitating properties of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It costs so little to try them, so why go on suffering.
