MISTAKEN DIAGNOSIS-DOCTORS GUESS WRONG AGAIN. About five years ago I wrote to you that I hud been n terrible sufferer from kidney and bladder troubles, and 7 that my physician informed me that my left kidney was in such condition that there was 110 hope for my recovery. I was advised to try your Swamp- j Hoot as a last resort, and after taking four fifty-cent size bottles, I passed a | gravel stone which weighed ten grains. 1 afterwards forwarded you this gravel stone. Havo had no return of any trouble since that time and cannot say too much in favor of your wonderful pnparatlon. Swamp-Hoot, which cures., after physicians fail. Very truly yours, P. H.

These abuses brought about dls1 satisfaction and distrust and the pif oneers began a fight for a better and more competent form of government, h a fight which ended years later in :t bloodshed and rebellion but which 3* finally obtained for the Canadian peopie the almost perfect constitution of which they boast today, o* For years the prejudice existing beI" tween the French and English was an IS obstacle to the great struggle against privilege and injustice. Canada in those days was divided Is into two provinces, known as Upper t- and Lower Canada, and while Mac's kenzie was fighting for Justice In w Upper Canada, M. Papineau was struggling with the corrupt powers of ?- Lower Canada. The latter was defeated in his peaceful fight and, fired ,e by all the passions that liberty In; spires, he resorted to rebellion.
