ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS.

DR. MINK INVESTIGATES.

Dr. Mink looked at Markie Muskrat's tongue when the little! chap said he couldn't go up in front and recite his piece. Mr. Scribble Scrutch, the fairyman schoolmaster, had told him to, you know, because the five school-board gentlemen, Mr. Owl, Judge Crow, and all the others were visiting the Meadow Grove school.

Markie had a long red tongue and Dr. Mink looked it all over "It looks very clean," he nodded wisely, "extra very carefully. clean as though he'd brushed it with a tooth brush,”

Markie blushed to the tip of his nose, for he knew why his tongue was so clean. But when Dr. Mink saw him blushing, he said hastily, "Why, I believe the child has a fever! He's so red!" And he stuck a great thermometer into Markie's mouth.

Our Portrait is of Mr. WALTERE WHITE, of 41, Botle-lane, Chiswick, Londen, England, who writes com

Some three years ago I had a swelling in the knee cap. One night. I knocked my kore which caused a little ulver which in date, no matter what I did, developed across the whole kuce. I had one large gaping wound, and with all the care and attention that wound was open for 15 months. Being an all-round athlete, holder of many cups and prizes. I began to give up all hope of ever taking my place again among the athletes. One day one of my fellow. workmen inquired how my leg was, and told me it was Clarke's Blood Mixture I wanted. That day I bought a bottle, and when I had mished it I was not only surprised myself, but all my workmates could see improvement. I could bead my knee a little and that gave me encouragement, so 1 persevered with it and am glad to say seven battles completely cured me. am now as well as ever, and am still holding my own as an athlete."

Sufferers from Bed Legs, Abecassen, Ulcers, Glandular Swalltags, Pline. Eczema, Bolts, Pimples. Eruptions, Akaumellum, Gout, should realise that lotions and ointments can but give temporary relief to be sure of complets and lasting bonest, the blood must be thoroughly cleansed of the impore wasia rasiter, the true cause of such troubles. Clarke's Blood Mixture quickly attacks, overcomes, and expels the impurities, ibat is why as many atmarkable 10coveries stand loita credit. Peasant to take. and free from injurious ingredients.
