RUMEURS POLITIQUES

La rumeur annengait le re- tour prochain de M. Tarte du Canada. Des personnes qui vi- vent dans l'entourage immé- diat de sir Wilfrid Laurier, rap portent que le ministre des Tra- vaux Publics n'est pas rappelé et qu’il restera à Paris encore plusieurs mois, e’est-à-dire aus- si longtemps que durera l'eb- Jet de sa mission.

** x Quant aux élections généra-

les, un député libéral a dé: claré qu'elles n'auront pas lieu cette année, et

donne pour raison de cette re- mise, que le parti libéral ne Pourra pas aujourd'hui faire face au courant qui s'est soule- vé contre lui. D'ici à l'année prochaine, sir Wilfrid Laurier et ses amis s'efforceront de tromper les électenrs par teutes sortes de promes- ses plus on moins allé- chantes, suivant, leur habi- tude, et de refouler ainsi le courant. Puisque la navigation leur semble si difheile, pour- quoi ces bonus libéraux re se servent-ils pas du petit bâti- ment de M. Tarte, de l’Æureka’? C'est un bâtiment qui a déja navigué et qui a tait le tour da golfe en laissant des traces de son passage.

Malgré les bruits que les li- béraux {ont ceurir au sujet de la date des prochaines élections, nous conseillons à nos amis d’être sur leur garde et de tra- vailler eomme si les élections doivent avoër lieu, eet automne. Lu reste, cette rumeur pent très bien être une ruse de guerre de la part des chefs libé- raux ; qu’on s’en méfie !

La Russie et le Japon

PROBABILITES D'UNE GUERRE ENTRE CES DEUX PUISSANCES

On éerit de St Petersbourg, en date du 28 mai :

Depuis quelques jou's des bruits in quiêtants eireulent ici : on raconte que les relations entre la Russie et le Japon se sont tout à coup tellement ten dues qu'une rupture est tout au moins possible. La canse im médiate de oette tension serait l’acquisition par la Russie dn golfe coréen de Mosampo, qui deit être transformée en ‘dé pôt de charbon et en hôpital pour les marins.”

Ce n'est pas un secret que les relations russo-japonaises n'ont pas été des plus amicales depuis la grande guerre sino-japonaise; les Japonais n’oublient pas et ne pardonneront jamais aux Russes qui se sont mis à la tête de la coalition russe-franeo alle- maude qui força les insuiaires vainqueurs: à abandonnertontes leurs asonquêtes continentales — pour s’en emparer eux-mêmes un peu plus tard.

C'est précisément en Oorée que la Russie et le Japon se combattent avec le plas grand acharnement pour s'assurer l'influence décisive dans ie gouvernement coréen ; plusieurs feis, une catastrophe a paru in- évitable. Jusqu'iai, les Russes n’ont pourtant pas réussi à af. faiblir l'influenee japonaise, bien au contraire.

aux Japonais.

dre. Néanmoins, on ne se sent pas, ici, tout à fait tranquiile, bien qu'on fasse semblant de croire que le Japon ne pourrait jamais devenir un adversaire sérieux et dangereux de ls Rus- sie. Les journaux russes discu- tent vivement la situation ac- tuelle. Le Japon, disent-ils, tronvera toujours la Rus- sie prête à l'aider dans son développement paisible, — mais. gare au Japon s'il songe à se mesurer avec la Russie ! Le Ja pon a dû apprendre par la guerre afrioaine eombien il est difficile pour une puissance maritime de jiutter contre une puissance continentale, et les Japouais feront bisn de ne pas oublier que la Russie est un peu autre chose que le Transvaal et que les Boers ne sont pas préci- sément des Russes.

VARIOUS VI1EWPOINTS OF PROPRIETARY RE- MEDIES

By €. D. MARTIN, M. D.

The distinct position which proprietary remedies have taken among eurative agents has na- turally rendered them a topic ef frequent and serious discus- sion by physicians. The topic has more than one side from which it may be viewed. The medical profession may indeed, under certain conditions, ap prove the use of some proprie tary remedies. But the views of the profession, as expressed ei. ther by individual members or through the eolums of the hy. gienie press, indicate a consis- tant conservatism which rigid. ly insists upon the point of me. rit being so amply demonstrated that false pretense can hope fer nothing but instant condemma- tion.

The truth of the proposition that “to heal is more than ar- mies to the publie weal” was inever more thoroughly borne in upon the public mind than it is today. Let the healing pe wer emanate from whence it may, it is welcome with equal warmth by the sufferer and his friends. What is universally sought is a eure,its source is à matter of minor moment. That we may find genuine oures a- mong proprietary remedies no longer remains a doubt.

It is claimed, and certainly with a considerable degree of truth, that the meritorions pro- prietary remedy does not al. ways receire-due credit tor the work it performs. Yet eertainly medicines of ihis elass deserve gratuitous mention in the hy gienic press in order that they may be the more largely avail- ed ofin cases of these com- plaintes which they havre showu their ability to cure. As an ex ample of this, we have intended for some time ta refer to Mc- Kinnon s English Ointment, of fered by Neil McKinnon of Sammerside, P. E 1, Canada, asa Cure for Eczema, Fe-er Sores, Salt Rheum, Itching Piles, Pimples, Ring Worm, al] Skin Eruptions, Sore Throat, Cuts, Bruises, ete. The sterliny|

Boglish Ointment revealed a long list of gratefal peopke who testify to the permanent good it kas done them.

There 18 nothing to be gained from the archaio reasoning which some—physicians and lay men alike —still delight in, and which is based uon the plea that “there oanuot be any- thing good in propri-tary me. dicines.” With such as these it were waste of time to argue And though there must, wesup- pose, always be a certain num- ber of individuals who persist in sticking to suoh exploded theo- ries, they are fortunately in the mivority. Nineteenth century progress is satisfied with the praetica} performances ot such intrinsically valuable proprieta- ry preparations as MeKinunon's Buglish Ointment.

While engaged in our inves. tigation of the claims of this remedy we ascertained that its proprietor has the highest re- putation for reliability, and that his commersial standing is in. disputable. But this inquiry on

our part was only incidental ;.

what is of prime importanee is eur verification ofthe curative pewers of McKinnon's English Ointment which are so remark- able that in the interests of our readers we grant this endorse-
