necessity of being compelled to get-up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful

to suit the occasion and the temper of
the people. At the same time, rattles

Her Dead Domestic.
Queen Victoria has paid a touching
tribute to her old servant. The queen
has placed on the grave of the late
Mrs. McDonald, in Crathie churchyard,
a tombstone consisting of two hand-
some blocks of red Peterhead granite,
on the top of which is carved an inter-
laced Celtic cross. The following in-
scription is cut in raised polished let-
ters:
“This stone is placed by Queen Victo-
ria in grateful and affectionate remem-
brance of Annie McDonald, daughter
of/William Mitchell of Clachanturn
and widow of 'John McDonald. She
was in the queen’s service for forty-
one years, and during thirty-one
years was wardrobe maid and'

is deeply deplored. She was born at

loved and mourned by all who knew
her. ‘Let her own works praise her.’

that in his long sojourn in France he
