ills 2|H|mii Q lü CURED IN BOTH SEXES BY Dr., SLATER'S BLOOD iiASIliE TABLETS. For BLOODLESSA(ESS in Women and Men, Dr. Slater's Tablets ensure A COMPLETE & NATURAL CURE. S /T A A LADY WHO HAD GIVEN UP HOPE-CURED AFTER 1Q YEARS. I Wt frk \^v|l There is nothing which creeps so stealthily over a woman's life or is so sure to turn sweet joy into ■ 'Jr ffin!$v\ V l||X sadness as anemia. For ten years Mrs. Emily Davies, of 15, Duffryn-terrace, New Tredegar, wrestled with g 'V \V^\w » anasmia in its worst form; but, now th it Dr. Slater's Blood-making Tablets have given back to her the ■ XV t 1 i robust health which four doctors could not give, her gratitude for her cure has found expression in the | Ii'. "Soon after my marriage, said1 the lady, now looking the very picture of health, I to fall at regular intervale into a very low state of health. These epells of weak- Ile'W and exhaustion lasted from a few days to a few weeks, until at length, when the C0'°0r bad faded from my cheek, and all my old energy and strength had left me, I that my oondltion had developed into anaemia. My blood was just like water, complexion a horrible sickly yellow. I suffered greatly from palpitation of the and extreme nervousness. I became so nervous that if I went to the door in answer to the bell I should be too nervous with excitement to epeak. Eventually I "•W too weak to walk across the room. The neighbours had to come in and do my for me, for I was getting worse and worse. So low and prostrate did I get, indeeu. at both my husband and I despaired of my life." "How were you attended?" inquired the pressman reporting the case. "I had four dfttom whose treatment, however, was unable to have the least effect on a case so bad 4" nine. Pills, syrups, emulsions, and other so-called remedies also proved useless. "So I dragged along until we read in the "South Wales Echo" the report of a similar 11 case, which Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets had cured. Acting upon my husband's advice, I g sent for a box, and the first results encouraged me to persevere with the course. I began H io feel stronger, the palpitation lessened, and the watory condition of my blood began Eg to disappear, and was re-placed by good rich red blood. Both the pallor and sallowness, as well as the palpitation, are now a thing of the past. I have persevered with the Tablets according to the directions, with the result that I am in possession of such health as I aad never expected being blessed with again. I can now do all my housework, as I did two years ago, and have all my old-time vigour and strength." "Do you put your cure down to Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets?" "Most certainly," was the emphatic reply. "I thank God for the lucky chance that brought Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets to my notice. They alone are responsible for the good health I enjoy to-day, and I may say that so complete and lasting has been my cure that the trying, variable weather we have had recently has not had the slightest effect on me." "Have you any knowledge of any other case which the Tablets have cured?" "Yea. A little girl of mine also suffered from bloodless nese, and in this case the Tablets have had a most excellent effect. You are at liberty to publish my experience to the whole world, for I am anxious that all sufferers should use this wonderful medicine."

COMMON ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST. MEDICAL. ILLNESS IN THE BTREETS.-III. We now oome to the caees of Jioemoptysis, due to phthisis or consumption of the lungs. Most cases of this dissaee die of exhaustion after years of cough and wasting, but some sufferers die very suddenly from the bursting of a blood-vessel in the lungs, and this may occur without any warning, and does some- times happen to patients who are able to walk about in the streets. In these instances the unfortunate persons die partly from the loss of blood and partly from suffocation. It is a terrible death to witness; but in many instances a person may lose a great deal of blood, and, indeed, may survive several attacks. Here, again, it is not wise to administer spirits, because if they are swallowed they increase the heart's action and may tend to increase" instead of to check the bleeding. The only thing to be done is to remove the patient as gently as possible to his home, or to the nearest hospital. If ioe is procurable, break it up and give small pieces frequently to be suoked. Persons found in a more or less completely insensible state may be simply very drunk, but they can generally be roused by a. loud voice and by shaking them. and when they answer their speech betrays them, being in- distinct, and what they say is foolish. They are best removed on an ambulance to the nea.rest police-station, where the police surgeon willvbe called to look at them, and it is usual to detain them until they are sober. Uroemia has been mentioned, and it may cause an insensible state, accompanied by slight convulsive movements. It is, however, of gradual onset, and a patient is not very often attacked when able to walk about. It is due to acute or chronic kidney mischief, which may follow scarlet fever, diphtheria, or chronic alcoholic kidney degeneration. Lastly, a person found jnscnsible in the street may have slipped and have fallen, striking his head against a wall, railing, or the pavement; he may have a concussion of the brain; generally a wound or bruise may be found, which explains the case. Of course, he may have been assaulted, struck on the head, or have been garrotted. Persons walk- ing along in a business-like way are seldom attacked in daylight, but a well-dressed man who shows signs of having been drinkdng is occasionally set upon by thievee, who are watohing for opportunities for plunder. AH such, sufferers should be put into a cab at once. and taken to the nearest doctor or to a hospital. The information given in this series of three articles points out that it is a rieky matter for a bystander without medical training to do anything in the way of treat- ment. Fetch the nearest doctor, and remove the patient at once, is the only safe pro- cedure. "Anxioue Mother (A. R.).Yon must consult a doctor, as we cannot prescribe for her.

FEMININE FASHIONS. 1 EXCHANGE OF TRAILING FOR SHORT SKIRTS. SOME NOVELTY IN FASHION Is generally to be seen whenever and wherever women of fashion meet together. Now, when a personage of such importance in the social and fashionable world as Mrs. George Cornwallis West is elects to pioneer a now mode its success is to some extent assured, and it is to be hoped that the short gored skjrt which the lady in question wore on a recent occasion will shortly become general instead of exceptional. We are weary of holding up trained skirts, and. often from necessity rather than choice, allow them to drag along the pavements, our physical strength being unequal to their weight when lifted. Soon, and very soon, I believe, we thall adopt the convenient walking skirt, and wonder at our own folly for so long carrying needless burdens. We admit even now that short skirts are sensible and sanitary, and any number are waiting selection in the ■hops. They all clear the ground, but, alas! common-sense is not to have undisputed away, for one objectionable feature is conspi- cuous—the skirts fit the figure about the hips almost as close as a riding habit would. It is regrettable, for there is sure to be a straining of the hooks and eyes which secure the open- ing. and this is an offence we cannot oondone. Most figures are improved by a few flat pleats or gathers in the immediate centre a.t the back of the skirt, and I advise those about to buy walking dreases to insist on this addition. THE NEW LARGE FUR MUFFS Are, I believe, welcome factors in producing this exchange of trailing petticoats for short walking skirts. The shape of the modern muff is large and as flat as it can. be. The term "Grannie" is well applied, for the modern muff is in no sense less important of size than those muffs the dear, lovely old grannies carried in those bygone days when grannies did not aim to look almost as youthful as matrons of five lustrums do, but were content with the dignity and charm bestowed on those who had grown old gracefully. I note that a number of distinctly fashion- able great ladies have discarded green for blue. and a very bright blue at that. Again, some leaders of fashion have recently favoured red costumes. I saw Lady Warwick wearing a very vivid red cloth dress, this, however, being agreeably toned down by the magnificent set of Russian sables that accompanied it; but I hardly admired the hat of white marabou- feathers with which the oountess crowned her toilette. I have come to the conclusion that blue has superseded green to an extent not anticipated hitherto, and in every assembly of well-dressed women it seems to be the pre- vailing hue. Grey is not far behind, ao far as popularity goes, and with gowns of either colour red hats are constantly seen. Indigo blue is a favourite shade, but much brighter blues are even more popular. I recently saw the Duchess of Devonshire in a remarkably vivid blue gown, worn with a black toque trimmed with green. At this dull season the selection of blue in preference to green seems judicious, green being more appropriate in the spring of the year than in dreary late autumn and winter, when the meadows and the evergreens alone represent the colour in Nature. QUEEN ALEXANDRA Continues to favour certain shades of mauve and heliotrope. Orchid-mauve is a special favourite. Her Majesty wore a. complete costume of this colour, trimmed sable, and a sable boa, when she attended the thanksgiving service at St. Paul's. Princess Victoria's drees was fawn colour, and it was, like her illustrious mother's, bordered with eable. I am told the Queen's dress of white silk, elaborately embroidered with gold thread. worn at the Guildhall banquet, was "a dream" that is, in society parlance. It was some- thing far better, it was a beautiful reality; but, if her Majesty is conservative as regards colour, how much more faithful she is to the small toque which Fashion votes altogether de mode a.ød condemns as quite beyond the pale! But compars the toque that framed the Queen's fair head last week with the ridiculous headgear a vast majority of women wear to-day, and note the bad taste of the one and the exquisite fitness of the other. TOREADOR HATS. Nothing else seems obtainable. This shape is the ugliest, heaviest-looking, and most un- becoming that Fashion ever thrust upon her misguided followers. It seems as if she were inflicting a penance on them for some mis- demeanor, and the falling drapery at the back of the bat is so unjustifiable from the point of the becoming that one is irresistibly reminded of certain disfiguring practices at one time resorted to by penitents as expres- sive of contrition. EVENING DRESS Is very elaborate. The curious combination of a bodice distinctly decollete with long sleeves to the wrist is a. feature of evening toilettes. 'Tis true the sleeves are trans- parent, but when they are as full as the sleeves worn by bishops, and are banded similarly at the wrist, they (the sleeves) look incongruous with bodices cut as low as many are. A very elaborate full drees toilette was of white satin, cut princess shape. A very deep flounce of black lace. heavily trimmed with sequins, was headed by a trellis work of narrow ruches of black chiffon. For the space of a quarter of a yard below the waist and for some inches above that line the white satin was without trimming, but thereafter the upper part of the decolletage was closely covered with black lace, studded with paillettes, not a scrap of white visible. There was a strap of jet and lace over each shoulder, but nothing that could be called, even by courtesy, a sleeve, only a similar strap or band encircling the arm some inches below the shoulder point. I saw this style repeated in pink satin and white pearled lace. In the same fashionable shop I saw a flat pelerine, with short, wide stole ends of mole- skin. A few heads and many tiny pads were added, presumably as a decoration. The price of this fur was seven guineas. For a flat muff to match four guineas was asked. VEILINGS. A curious idea is that of displaying net veils on masks. I saw it carried out in a glass show case fixed on the portals of a shop in Westbourne-grove. It is sometimes diffi- cult over a counter to judge of the pattern of a net, but to see the veils stretched across those unnatural-looking lineamenta, coarsely painted and with staring eye sockets, is a sight hardly likely to inspire an intended pur- chaser. Viewed through the veils, these arti- ficial complexions look so hideously sallow and ghastly that the sight proves deterrent rather than stimulating; at least, that was the effect the display had upon myself. THE CHILDREN. Owing to inclement weather, the small denizens of the nursery are^often at this time of the year restricted to indoor amusements. Of new toys there is every year a large assortment, and some of the old favourites are greatly improved upon. "Shoot the Chute" is one of the latest toys for nursery or hall. The "chute" will fold into moderate compass, but, opened, stretches across a room. It is provided with a seat or car on top. in which the child sits securely as it slidee along. A larger size chute costs 45s., and one still larger, with two carriages, costs four guineas. Then, that old. old favourite. "See Saw," is always a delight to children. I have seen one suited to the nursery—strong, por- table, and perfectly safe—which costs 36a. Every boy has a taste for hammering. A child may b6 amused for hours by knocking pegs to and fro out of a new game, and this not aimlessly, for it teaches the player to spell, read. count up the days of week, months of the year, &c. Parents and nurses, while glad to see their charges amused, are often distressed by the noise of hammers; so will they be glad to learn that a noiseless mallet costs an extra sixpence. This toy is sold at 2s. 6d., 46., and 7s. 3d., aooording to make and size. There is also a very amusing game styled "Dee Dee," or "Dressing the Dandy." The amusement consists of fastening the figure of a man to the wall. The players are 'blindfolded, and each in turn dresses the dandy. The result is often a ridiculous travesty, causing great fun. This toy is quite, inexpensive; it costs Is. 3d. post free. JEWELLERY. Setting apart diamonds of the first water. 4 no ornaments look so well with black gowne as turquoises do. and Fashion smiles on these pretty jewels at present. It is true they suffer from imitation largely, but not more so than, nor perhaps eo much as, the costlier diamonds. Our readers will, of course, re mem- ber the value Shylock aet on his turquoise, which he would not have ported with "for a wilderness of monkeys." In the Middle Ages the turquoise was highly valued, and extra- ordinary qualities were ascribed to it. It was said to protect from apoplexy and to reconcile quarrelsome husibands and wives. Even at the present time it is believed in Russia that when given by loving 'hands the turquoise brings good fortune, and paies if the love of the giver diminishes. Two or three centuries ago no gentleman thought his hand properly adorned unless he wore a fine tur- quoise on it. In onr time the stone ia almost exclusively worn by women. SPIOEjp BEEF TO EAT COLD.

I THE WORLD-FAMOUS 11IAN CASE.

I I THE WORLD-FAMOUS 11IAN CASE. The case of Mrs. Rosanna Wilkinson, of 20, Diggle-street, Woodhouse-lane, Wigan, whose photo is given below, is the most remarkable of the Century. The patient had dropsy, following child- birth, and was tapped 3 times with the idea of drawing the water from the body. The first time the Doctor took away 19oz. of water. The second time, 10 quarts. The third time, 12 quarts. She was so near death that her priest, when called in, treated her as one dead. What Doctors and Infirmary utterly failed to do in this case has been done in a most miraculous way by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. The importance of this case to anyone who has any form of kidney or bladder trouble cannot be over-estimated. "When my last baby was born, in November, 1900, I considered myself a I I strong woman, but three weeks after I had the misfortune to catch a severe oold. This did not alarm me at the time, but I soon perceived it was going to be serious. A bad pain in my left side attacked me, and my face and legs began to swell and fill with water. These signs alarmed me, and I at once went under treatment by a doctor, who attended me for nearly a month. He did all he could for me, but at last had to admit he could do no more. I consulted another doctor, and after he had thoroughly examined me he refused to take up my case. My condition at this time was so precarious that neither the doctors nor my family had any hopes of saving my life. Someone said, 'Try an Infirmary.' I was greatly discouraged; but, as there appeared to be nothing else for me to do, in April I entered an Infir- mary, and began their treatment. This consisted of hot baths and injections, which only weakened me. All this time my body was growing larger, and the water increasing steadily. "The doctor and nurse became so alarmed at my failing to respond to their treatment that they decided to tap me, which they did, and TOOK AWAY 190ZS. OF WATER. "The relief, if any, was only tempo- rary, for my body soon began to ill again, and I grew rapidly worse. "I now saw that the Infirmary could not help me, and in.July I left in even a worse condition than when I had entered. I came back home, fully con- scious of the "fact that unless I could check the disease I could not live long. WATER FILLED BODY TO THE WAIST. "The water was fast gaining ground, and had filled my body to the waist. "My third and last doctor was called in, and when he had made an examination I decided that the only thing he could do was to tap me, which he did at once, this I time removing TEN QUARTS OF WATER. But he bad no hope, and told mother to send for the clergyman. This was on August 22nd. "I could feel myself filling again more than ever. The water now was getting dangerously near my heart, and caused a feeling as though I were suffocating. This went on for a few days, I growing weaker and more helpless each day; but the doctor tapped me again, taking away twelve quarts of water this time, which eased me once more. But it was the same thing over again—-the body rapidly filled, and my doctor simply could xu>t> stop it or help me. "My case had baffled three doctors outside the Infirmary, and two of them had done all they could for me, but it was of no use. "On October 21st they sent for my clergyman again, and when he came he treated me as one dying. "But there was one little spark of life left. and one ray of hope. I refused to be tapped again, and I had a reason for not allowing this, for a kind friend had given me a book containing particulars of a similar case to mine (the case I refer to is that of Jane Chalmers, of Leven, Fifeshire. Scotland), and I decided to dis- miss all doctors and use Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, the medicine that had cured Miss Chalmers. This was in October, 1901. I took Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the rate of one box a week. The improvement at first was hardly per- ceptible, yet I could tell the medicine was doin fT me good, as the action of the kidneys gradually became freer and more natural. THE WATER IN MY BODY LESSENED, and I grew stronger. In just four weeks from the time I started with this medi- cine I was able to leave my bed. Then my spirits rose, and I once -more felt honeful of living, and knew I had at last found a medicine that was acting direct on my kidneys, filtering, not only the water from my body. but the very poisons themselves, which had been accu- mulating in my system so long. "I was happy now, for I was getting well; yes, actually well, for each week, each day, I could feel myself improving. The water was fast leavin- my body, and, the terrible pressure on my heart being relieved, I could breathe freely once more. I exercised as much as I could. "In March my clergyman called at omr house again, and I met him at the door. He asked for Mrs. Wilkinson as though he were speaking to a perfect stranger. 'MY PRIEST DID NOT KNOW ME,' so improved was I, and could scarcely believe that I was the same woman that he had given up for dead on October 21st. "All this time I was taking Doan's Backache Kidney Pills as regularly as clock-work. "My doctor said, 'It's marvellous! mar- vellous!' and I want everyone to know that my recovery is due to Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills, and to them alone. I have taken over forty boxes, and, while I felt myself cured some time ago, my father wished me to continue with the medicine; his reason was that if Doan's Backache Kidney Pills could work such a change in me, it would be wise to keep on with them till I felt sure every trace of the disease had been removed. This I have done; and, while some unscru- pulous dealers have now and again offered me substitutes. I have resolutely stuck to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills—'the bridge that has carried me safely over.' "For nearly eleven months I have taken this medicine regularly, and the results fully justify the claim that 'Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a medicine that will cure kidney disease and all troubles caused by 6ick kidneys.' "I" am to-day enjoying better health, and am stronger than ever before. The water has entirely left my body, and the swellings are gone. "I can only hope that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills will prove as sreat a blessing to others as they have to me." The above is the greatest triumph of modern medicine. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Wilkinson by healing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder, thus helping these organs to filter and drain the surplus water out of the svstem. This is the greatest medicine in the world for relieving kidney trouble and correcting all irregularities of the urinary system. It cures all uric acid troubles, such as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, gravel, sleeplessness, irritabilitv, and general weakness; tones up the kidneys, thus relieving Diabetes and warding off the serious Bright's Disease, etc. For sale by all chemists and stores at 2/9 per box. 6 boxes for 13/9: or direct, post free. on receipt of price from Foster- McClellan Co., 8.
