This locality, including Stanchel and Springton, i+ almost, if not the only sec~ tion of the Island that can boast of con- siderable areas of the “forest primeva!” in their primitive grandeur—uascatiied by fire—unmarred by the woodman’s axe. Itis to be regretted that those woods, contributing as they do to the salubrity of the climate and tothe beauty of the landecape, should be so ruthlessly des troyed year by year. Teams can now be al] directions ‘hauling timber lumber, firewood aad poles, preseating a lively and interesting scene.

Su ering caused by Piles

ts Quickly Ended wh

Dr. A. W. Ghase’s Ointment is applied

Besides the intense agony caused by the itching, burning sensations of piles, there are other symptoms which produce restlessness and at times excruciating jains known only to the victim of piles.

What would one give to be free of thts terrible disease? And yet there is a cure—a positive cure—which does not cost nruch andis not painful or difficult to apply.

Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment is, so far as ts known, the only absolute cure for blind, itch- ing, bleeding and protruding piles. It gives relief at the first application and affords a pet fect cure in the most aggravated cases.

Mr. Isaac Foster, Erieview, Ont, says: “I was troubled with itching piles for two years and could not sleep at night. I was halfcrazed and tried everything. Finally seeing Dr. Chase's Ointment advertised I tried it and found it good. After a second application I found relief, and one large box cured me, Have never been bothered since, and I can re-

trouble.” j Dr. Chase's Ointment is for sale by al dealers, or Edmanso>. tes & Cy Mate
