Entimations,

·YOU WELL NOT be deceived. That there are cheats and frauds in plenty everybody knows; but it is seldom or never that any large business house is guilty of them, no matter what line of trade it follows. There can be no permanent success of any kind based on dishonesty or deception. There never was, and never will be. The men who try that are simply fools and soon come to grief-is they deserve. Now many persons are, nevertheless, afraid to buy certain advertised articles lest they be bumbugged and deluded; especially are they slow to place confidence in published statements of the merits of medicines. The remedy known as

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION is as safe and genuine an article to purchase as flour, silk or cotton goods from the mills of manufacturers with a world-wide reputation. We could not afford to exaggerate ita qualities or misrepresent it in the least; and it is not necessary, It is palatable as honey and con.

mate area of the island. But it must be narrow. ed and lengthened, and the bills heightened to a trifle over 8,000 feet, it is about as long as from London to York, and the widest part is not so far as from London to Chatham. In this space dwell 310,000 add Cretans-a population sparen enough, but a good deal of the ground is barten mooutain. The northern slopes, though, are faw with vineyard and oliva, grove, and mulberry plantations for the silkworms. Above these stretch forests of Chestnct and oak, and higher dark helts of pine touch the snows. Nearly half a million sheep and gasts browse on the hills, and milk-white ́oxen plough the valleys. Oil and wipe are the staple products. The rough red wine is not the famous Malmsby which our forefathers used to bring home when they touched at Candia re turning from pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The Crean cheese, which finds a market all over the Levant, is salt and bird.

"But the fruit of Crete is superb The big chestants form à large item of export and the Granges are the finest in the world, excapt, per. haps, those of Sidon. · Grapes and molens, figa and pomegrsostes, and the delicious loquat ure in profusion.

His forefathers came from Bengazi, on the African coast. He will take charge of Jour baggage, and will prove au intelligent and trustworthy faciatum. But you will only find him at Canea, to which tow the Arab colony is conficed. The rest of the population, Moham- medan as well as Christian, 'is' more Greek than the subjects of King George, which ju largely derived from Albanian And Blav sources. On the White Mountains at the back of Canen dwell the Sphakiotes, a fair race, who' speak artongis which has preserved much of the idiom of their Doc ancestors.

Malt and Wild Cherry; and how valuable such a blending of these important medicinal agents must be is plain to everybody. It is beyond price in Anemia, Insomnia, Weakness and lack of Nervous Touc, Poor Digestion, Wasting Diseases, La Grippe, Lung Troubles and Blood Impurities, Science can turoish nothing better perhaps nothing so good. Dr. W. H. Dalle, of Canada, says: "I have used it in my practice and inke pleasure in recommending it as a valuable tonic and reconstructive." It is a remedy that can afford to appeal to its record and represents the science and knowledge of bright and aggressive medical investigation. Effective from the first dose. "You cannot be disappointed in it." Like all good things it is imitated. Sold by chemists throughout the world.
