Andre in the revolutionary war; he had been up the Hudson river and negotiated the surrender of Welt Point with the traitor, Benedict Ar- nold: he was "tried by a drumhead court-martial and condemned to be hung as a spy. Gen. Israel Putnam was in command. Mai. Andre was a voung and brave soldier. beloved by hie comrades, and all who knew him: he was not afraid to die, but he beg- ged Gen. Putnam to accord him a soldier's death--mnot to be blind-fold- ad and that he be allowed to die facing his executioners. This the general positively refused, remember- ing, with bitterness, the treatment of his dear voung friend and officer, Nathan Hale, whose statue stands in immortal bronze on the spot where he was hanged, over a century and a quartér ago. When Sir Henry Clinton heard thot Maj. Andre was condom: ad to be hangwl, he sent a reauest to Gen. Putnam that the major: be ,ac corded a soldier's death, intimatine . that if this were not done he would institute a course of reprisals on every Yankee prisoner that fell into his hands. Gen.

MONTHS OF AGONY. A Severe Case of Rheumatism Cured By Pink Pills. "For many weary months 1 suffer- untold agony. T Eoild not walk; I could érarcely. raise mysell to a sit ting posture.) I was under medical care, but \in-vain. Finally I tried Dr. Wiliams" Pink Pills and they have my former healthy conditign." . This strong statement was made to a reporter recently' by Charles 8S. Koddey, formerly of Kingston, N.S, but now diving at Port Maitland. Mr. Koddey is a carpenter by trade, and is now able to work every 'day. He adds: "I canmot speak to highly of Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills, as they cured me after other medicines failed. While 1 was living at Riagston.--N. 8, I was seized with rheumatism in its most violent form. I was com- pelled to take to my hed and for months was an Govalid. 1 was so weak that'it was difficult for me to raise myself to a sitfing posture. It is impossible to tell how much 1 suf- fered day and might, week in and week out. The pains were like pierc- ing swords. I bad medical attend ance, but it failed. Then 1 tried medicines advertised to cure rheu- matism, but with the same result-- money wasted. One day when hope had almost gone a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. | told him my experience with other medicines, but be assured me that these pills would cure rheumatism, so I sent for 5 supply. After using a few boxes 1 was able to leave my bed, and from that on my restors- tion to 'health was rapid. 1 am now as well as ever | was, and have not had the slightest touch of rheuma- tism since. The change they have wrought in my case is simply mir aculous, and | can strongly recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any one suffering from any form of rheu matism." Rheumatism is rooted in the blood Rubbing the aching limbs with lini ments and outward remedies cannot possibly cure it. You must get the rheumatic acid out of the blood and Dr. Williuus' Pink Pills is the sure medicine to do this, they actually make new blood. 18 why these pills cure headaches and backaches, neuralgia, indigestion and the seeret ailments that make miserable the lives of s, many women and growing girls.
