McKendry, a gentleman of tk? years of age, has tor. 28 years been a respected citizen of I'enelon Falls, Ont. For twenty-two years' he has held the position of section foreman for the G.T.lt., which position he fills to-day, and judging from his present robust appearance will be capable of doing so for many years to come. During his residence at Fenelon Fails Mr McKendry has taken an active part in educational matters, being an efficient member of the school hoard on different IX'cusions. Many times he has been nominated as councillor, but owing to the position he held with an outside corporation felt it his duty to withdraw, although much against the wishes of the representative rate- payers. As the public Well know the duties devolving on a railway section C,.iit,iiii,i,i,ji, expose him to all kinds of inclement weather, and it takes a man lwitli a strong constitution to success- fully fill the position. Mr. McKendry had no illness until about 3 years ago, when, to use his own words, he says :-"I was taken down with severe rheumatic pains in the right knee and the muscles of the leg. I could ‘ not sleep or rest night or day. I could not begin to tell you what I suffered. I took many remedies, both internal and external prescribed by doctors and friends, but instead of improving twas steadily going from bad to worse. One day while reading the Presbyter- ian Review I read of a cure through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in the case of a man’ who had not been expected to recover and this prompted me to give thismedioine a trial. The) action in my case did not seem to be speedy and I was using my fifth box before any decided improvement was noted, but by the timeI had used eight boxes lwas a thoroughly well man. Since that time my general health has been the very best and Ihave no signs of the old trouble. I make this state- ment voluntarily, because I think it the. duty of those cured to put others in the possession of the means of ob- taining renewed health andIam sat- isfied Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do all that is claimed for them if given a trial.

Farmers cannot any longer close their eyes to the fact that. something tmore than ordinary farm-yard man- ures is necessary to the production of paying crops. The phosphate is ab- 801utely nee -ssary and there is now no room to doubt that large quantities of good manure are absolutely wasted for the want of phocphate to balance the food for the plants. I have had much experience in phoephating lands and I have examined many phosphated crops and I am convinced that double and treble crops of all kinds of pro- duce. may be obtained by the use of a proper pbo phate such as the Thomas- Phosphate, made by the Alberts.
