There are one or two ways in which Dr. Wright might with advantage have broken uwav from the Museum tradition. Under Francois Boucher, for example, there are three cross references to authors who have written books on this artist MacFall, Maata, and Michel.

Thus the reader who wants a book on Boucher has to turn over the pages of the Catalogue four times, although the books are all together on the shelves of the Library under Boucher. The system of arranging the books on the shelves dees not harmonize with the logue. The same objection holds good hundreds of other cases, and it is espociall' saabfa i I of of Dante, where there He said th Every library be done to promote original research by The co operation should not be limited to the social collections.

The following reports of yesterday's weather on th Continent are forwarded by our correspondents I0 04 68 9 jo 1 7i Inrcrtain Very fm. Cloudy Do you really enjoy life Every hour you are not thoroughly well is a wasted hour. Take Kriischen Salts and there will be more hours of good health. This is particularly true in Autumn, when the condition of the body must be carefully studied on account of the changes of temperature and changes of air which so often seriously upset the smooth working of the system. Kriischen Salts at once restore every organ to its proper normal activity.

Kriischen Salts will keep you permanently free from uric acid troubles, and in their place will give vigour and freshness, zest and appetite, and all the radiant optimism of real health. The regular use of Kriischen Salts will disperse worry and depression, and endow you with the inestimable boon of glorious health, so that every hour of the day will be one of splendid life. Kriischen Salts are not a "fizzy drink Kriischen Salts are not effervescent. They do not cause flatulence nor any other feeling of discomfort and can be taken with perfect confidence by the great number of people who cannot drink gassy or aerated waters Kriischen Salts purify the system and eradicate liver and kidney troubles, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago. Uric acid accumulates more rapidly in the hot weather than in the cold, and is the cause of more illness than most people imagine.

A half teaspoonful of Kriischen Salts, taken in a tumbler of hot water every morning on rising, will remove the acid and drive away depression, head Doctors realise this and recommend Kriischen Salts, and more significant still they use it themselves. The least disorder of the body robs the system of certain salts which are absolutely essential to health. Kriischen Salts restore these essentials, and keep the whole human machine in first class order. In this way Kriischen Salts act as a tonic, brace and ache, indigestion, and all other ills stimulate the body, and make good caused by uric acid. rich blood and solid tissue.

To enjoy life you must be well. To be well take Kriischen Salts. LIEBIG'S ANALYSIS Soda Sulph. Soda Chlorid. Soda Pbosph.
