It makes them nervous and irritable. The depresse And worried woman I-ses her appetite and grows thin and feeble. Once in a while she has spells of palpitation and has to lie up for a day or two.

NEARLY DROWNED.

A WOMAN'S TWO ESCAPES. An exciting accident, which might have ended fatally, occurred on the Cardiff Canal, Mrs. Emily Thomas, 12, Wernpit-road, Lab. dore, was making her way across some timbers floating on the water, when she missed her fonting and fell with a scream into deep water. A man discharging a potato-boat some way off rushed to her and got her out, just as she was sinking for the last time,

"That was some years ago," said the victim of this accident, "but the memory of it is as vivid as ever, as for ten years I suffered from the effects of this dip in the Cardiff Canal, and if Dr. Williams' pink pills had not been the means of a second rescue not less important than the first, I should be suffering still.

But twelve months ago they were universally regarded as the greatest benefactors of the Department of the (sere; they are now scattered in the four cor- pers of the earth. The general of the order has been compelled to seek refuge at Pigzerolo, twenty-four miles from Turin, their distillery, which gave steady employment and poured streams of wealth through the old province of the Dauphine, has been transferred to Switzerland, whilst some of the monks have been exiled to Tarragona and others have been forced to seek British hospitality at Parkminster in Sussex and at Charnwood in Leicestershire. We are therefore tempted to ask what has been their past record in their own country and what have they done to deserve their wholesale expulsion which was carried out by the judicial authorities, the soldiery and the police on the twenty-ninth day of last April. Those who visit the Dauphine Alps will find plenty of evidence of the work done by these Carthusias monks throughout the whole province. They have founded the hospital at St. Laurent-du-Pont with its eighty beds and its endowment of £3,600 a year. They have opened the deaf and dumb school at Curiere, where the children are not only given a sound elementary education, but taught the trade to which they are best suited so as to enable them to shift for themselves. They have raised churches in almost every village, whose Gothic architecture is one of the most artistic features of the landscape. They have endowed schools whose only crime is their en- deavour to unite religious with secular teach ing. Finally, they have traced on the whole countryside a magnificent network of roads and thus spread comfort and well-being through what was once an absolutely inaccessible mountainous district. These Carthusian monks who but a few short months ago lived secluded but useful lives in their monastery and whose history has been identical with that of their whole countryside, have paid the teachers, clothed the naked, fed the hungry, given drink

"Let me explain. After my falling into the water I had an attack of rheumatic fever, and it seemed doubtful at one time whether I should get over it. The doctor said that even if I did recover I should feel the after-effects for the rest of my life. The next ten years bore out his words. I used to get pains in the head, followed by fits of sickness and retching, which lasted for four or five days at a time. I dicted myself on milk puddings and other light fare, but the food was no sooner in my stomach than it returned; in fact, it was quite impossible for me to retain anything. One day a friend of mine came to see me. She had been ill, and was cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills, and as she asked me why I didn't try them, I sent for a-bottle, and to my surprise they soon put mo on my feet again.

Considering that rheumatic fever is hardly ever completely cured by ordinary medicine, Mrs. Thomas was right in referring to her cure, after suffering ten years off and on, as a second rescue quite as important as the first.
