Crouter Relates an Experience of Great Value to Othersâ€"Life was Becom- mg a Burden When Relief Cameâ€"A Drugglse Expresses Ills Oplnlon. Warkworth Journal. Not long ago a representative of the Journal while in conversation with Mnl‘l. Empey, druggist, drifted upon a. topic which appears to be of general interest not only to this locality, but' throughout the country, we refer to the wonderful cures through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Newspaper men are not possessed of more curiosity than other people, but they have a feeling that in- stinctively leads them to investigation, and in the course of our conversation we asked Mr. Empey whether he thought the sales of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are. really as large as claimed for them. The answer was that judging from his own sales he was well assured that Pink Pills are the most valuable, the most reliable and the most successful proprietary medicine ex- tant. In answer to the query as to whether there were any note-worthy cures in this vicinity, Mr. Einpey promptly responded, “Yes; many people have been greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills, and I know of one casein particular worthy of being recorded. The case to which I re- fer,” continued Mr. Empey, “is that of Mr. Crouter, brother of Rev. Darius Cronter, Who some years ago represented East Northuniberland in the House of Commons. Mr. Crouter was suffering from nervous afl‘ectionand the after effects of la grippe. : He had not been able to do anything for two years, was unable to eat as he could not hold a knife or fork in his half paralyezd hands. He suffered greatly from cramps in his arms and legs, and had a. continual feeling of coldness. One day Mr. Crouter made enquiry concerning Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I advised him to try them, and the result is that he has entirely re- covered his health.” Having heard this much the Journal de- termined to interview Mr. Crouter, and get from his own lips the full particulars of his illness and remarkable recovery. We found Mr. Crouter at his home in the best of health, and enjoying an evening smoke after a day’s toil in the woods. When in- formedvof the object of our visit, Mr. Crou- ter said' he was glad to~ bear testimony to the wonderful value of Dr. VVill- iams’ Pink Pills as a remedial agency. “ The original cause of my trouble,” said Mr. Crouter, “ I date back a good many years. \Vhen I was 19 years old I drank a glass of cold water when overheated which proved a' most injudicious act on my part. I was sick for thirteen months and unable to work, and since that time until recently, I have never had what you could call a-well day. Two years ago I had an attack of la. grippe which nearly cost me my life. My legs and feet were continu- ally cold and cramped, and I could get litt'e or no sleep at night. It was impossible fcr me to eat with a knife or fork and I was forced to eat with a spoon, and you can understand what a burden life was to me. One day I read in the Journal of a remark. able cure by the use of Dr. lVilliams' Pink Pills and-I made up my mind to give them a trial. I sent to Mr. Empey’s for a supply and before the first box was entirely gone I could notice that they were helping me, so you may be sure 1 continued their use. When I began using the Pink Pills there was such a numbness in my feet that I could not feel the floor when I stepped on it. As I continued to use the pills this disappeared ; the feeling returned to my 1i nbs, the cramps left me, I felt as though new blood were coursing through my veins, and I can now go to bed and sleep soundly all night. I have taken just twelve boxes of Pink Pills and Iconsider them the cheap- est doctor’s bill I ever paid. When I get up in the morning instead of feeling tired and depressed, I feel thoroughly refreshed and all this wonderful change is due to Dr. VVilliams‘Pink Pills. Although I am 71 years old I can go into the woods and a hard day’s chopping without feeling the least bad effects. I have now so much confidence in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, that I intend shortly beginning their use again, this time as a spring medicine, for I believe they have no equahfor building up the blood and I strongl'yrecommend them to all sufl'erers,or forty-five years, and is well-known as an upright,. honorable gentleman, whose state- ments can be fully depended on in every particular. Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are a never-failing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ dance, rheumatism, neuralgia, the after effects of la grippe, in- fluenza and severe colds, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling arising therefrom. These pills are a specific for all diseases arising from humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. As a remedy for building anew the blood, enabling the system to successfully resist disease, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills stand far in advance of any other remedy known to medical science. Pink Pills are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, giving a rosy, healthy glow to pale or sallow complexions. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. \Villiams’ Medicine Company, Broekville, 0nt., and-Schenectady, N. Y.. and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark (priiitedin red ink) and wrapper, at 40 cts. a box or six boxes for $2.50. Bear in mind that Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this feim is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. The public are also cautioned against all other so called blood builders and ncrve tonics, no matter what name may be given them. They are all imitations whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary ad- vantage from the wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. “'illiams’ Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. \Villiams’ Medicine Company from either address. The price at which these pii‘s sold makes a course of treatment compani- tively inexpensive as compared with othe’l" reinndies or medical treatment. ‘ The catacombs of Rome contain the re- !various quarters of the world.

Fall of Man. “That was the second time I’ve fallen to-day,” remarked a gentleman to a friend, during the recent slippery weather. “ Did you fall before I” “No; I fell the other way.” “Humsh !

He had just returned from a trans-Atlanâ€" tic voyage and he let all the car know it. “ Yes,” he said, pompously, to the old gentleman with the silk hat and the gray side whiskers, who sat opposite, “ we had a most eventful trip : there was 9. mar- riage on board, two deaths andâ€"” " Any births '2" interrogated the old gen- tleman with a twinkle in his eye. “Noâ€" er â€"â€"no births,” answered the other, in a manner which implied that they could have had one or two if they had so desired. “ Dear me I that’s very strange 1” ex- claimed he of the gray side whiskers, rising as the car slowed up at Adelaide street. “ What is strange ‘2” ' “ Why, no berths. I have crossed forty- three times, and there' have always been a number of berths on board.” The pompous note in the new-fledged traveler’s voice gave place to a tinge of rev- erence as the other mentioned the figures, but he asked : “ Well, what do births 2 Two, three, four, or-â€"â€"â€"” . “f, No, indeed. Why, the last time I crossed there were over five hundred, and you call a number of “ What, babies ’3” “ Babies? No, berths, sleeping berths. Here’s my street. Good-bye.” “ A titter ran around the car as the silk hat got off, and the young man became sud- denly interested in the morning paper. Fakes for Farmers. A plausible scamp going through the country makes a contract with each farmer for his wheat, agreeing to pay $1.00 a bush- el delivered at thelnearest station when- ever he desires it. In order to bind the contract he pays a small sum down and agrees to pay the remainder when the wheat is delivered. He only approaches those who have large quantities. He gets the con- tracts and will hold them, never calling for the wheat, but will worry the farmer into giving him a nice little sum to “ release the contract.” Another kind of fakir has appeared near Cumpbellford. Accompanied by a man who is represented asa money lender, he visited a farm, informed the tenant that he had purchased the property, and pro- ceeded to sell all the wood on the place to neighbors, accepting their notes therefor, which were cashed by the alleged money lender. Now the people who had bought the wood have been warned not to trespass on the farm as the property was not sold at all, and the gulled ones are meeting their notes like little men. Men are going through Ontario selling what they call a chemical compound to save coal. They charge 25 cents for about two pounds of it, but if you will taste their chemical compound you will find that you can buy it for about 1 cent a pound. It may be red, blue or any of the various colors, but it is never the less nothing but common salt. If you doubt that salt will save your coal, it will cost you little to try. Throw a little dry salt on your coal file and mark the result. A better way is to dissolve about 51bs of salt to twenty gal- lons; of water and throw the water on your coa .

Several of the farmers of some of the sur- rounding townships, says the Stoufl‘ville Tribune, have recently had their sympathies imposed upon bya tall stranger about 70 years of age, grey short side whiskers, and very polished manners. He gave the name Jas. Thompson, from beyond Peterboro’, and had been at Toronto, where he was robbed of $125 in a hotel.
