Mr. J. D. S. Barrett.
If you suffer from chronic lndiges-
tion, forget about the stomach and pay attention to the condition of the liver and bowels. Ten to one that is where the real trouble lies. e
The liver gets sluggish und fails tc
filter the bile from the blood, the bowels become Qonsiipaled and the whole digestive system is upset.
As to cure. you cannot do better
than to read ot Mr. Burrell): experience with Dr. Chnse's Kidney- Liver Pills. There is no treatment so prompt and thoroughly effective.
Hr. J. D. S. Barrett. Nelson, B. C.,
and formerly of Twillingate, iNdd., writes:--"For several years I was s great sufferer from indilertion. The least bit of food caused me consider- able trouble and often I could scar- cely eat a meal e dey- The- ‘many remedies I tried proved fnti'e until in 1001 I begun the use of Dr. Chsse's Kidney-Liver Pills. and miter using about eight boxes I was completely cured- Since that time I have not been troubled with lndigestlon, which I consider a great blessing."

A large part of my moth- _ er's duties to me were discharged by an Irish nurse. That nurse was a Ro- man Catholic and she never put me to bed without sprinkling me with holy water."
Referring to the laughter which
greeted these remarks, Bernard 'Shaw added: "I cannot imagine anything that is less worthy to be laughed at or more touching than. this picture of the Irish Catholic woman sprinkl- ing holy water-and you know what holy water was to her-ori, the little Protestant child whose parenté gross- ly nnderpaid her."

No further 'news can be received from him until the Terra Nova again returns lrom the Far' South about the end ol next March.

GREAT CRANE FALLS.
LONDON, Dec. - 13-In the height of 3 gale a huge cantilever crane at Vickers' naval construction yard at Barrows was blown over, with the. result that two men, Thomsn Scott and Thomas McKenzie of Birken- head, were killed, and twelve other workmen injured. The big cantilever cranes stand high above the hulls of ships in course oi construmtion and run on
veying material from one place to an- other when a sudden squall of wind carried it along. The driver, failing to stop it,- jumped out on _#to the platform and the crane dashed again- st the stops and fell over, crashing tlirough the roof of 5 shed in which hundreds of workmen were busy. Hundreds of tons of metal work cams down, and that end of the shed entirely wrecked.
