I grew gradually weaker and weaker. I could not sit up for five minutes ; my lungs pained me; 1 coughed severely, lost almost all desire for food, and when 1 did eat 1 found it difficult to retain food on my stomach. I fell away in weight from 148 pounds to 100 pounds, and 1 do not think any of my friends ex- pected to see me get better, But some of them urged me try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and 1 decided to do so. I began by: taking one pill a day, for my stomach was very weak, but I was soon able to in- up crease Lhis to three pills a day, and finally as my strength was increas ing under their use, I took nine pills a day. The change which came with the use of the pills was little short of miraculous, and so marked and rapid that inside of two months after 1 began their use 1 was able to leave my bed and move about the house, and soon after I was able to walk about in the open air and make short visits to my friends. On oneof these occasions I met the doctor who had attended me, and ke had been taking an improvement "been Drs Dr. g Pink Pills, and he said «all right, continue them : they won't hurt you anyway.

Itis more than a year since I stopped taking the pills, and you can see for yourselt what they did for me. I may say, too, that my weight has increased to 137 pounds. 1am not anxious for publicity, but when 1 think of what the pills did for me, 1 believe I ought to sacrifice my own feelings for the benefit of some other poor sufferer." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have uced such remarkable cures as the above because they are wholly unlike ordinary medicines, which only act upon the symptoms. These pills go direct to the root of the trouble, making new, rich blood, and giving increased strength with every dose. In this way they cure consumption in its early stages, also such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism, St. Vitus' dance, heart trouble, neuralgia, dyspepsia, chro i sipelas,and all thefunctionary troubles that makes the lives of so many won en miserable.

RL In the course of the debate on the address yesterday at the Legislature Mr. Ross wag again made acquaint- ed with some old friends who have lately eScaped his failing memory, but who at one time cut quite an important figure in his estimatiou These are the various promises he made to the Province of Ontario so recently as on the occasion on which he became Premier. Mr Whitney presented them all in a goodly array, and invited the Pre- mier to. renew his acquaintance ship with them. The apparitions unlosed the Premier's tongue in a remarkable way. For: an hour or more he gave vent to excuses and apologies. ail of which were so many admissions of failure, and finally he repudiated his progeny and treated it with conntempt. Everybody remembers the pro gramme which Mr. Ross mapped out for himself and his colleagues when they assumed office, To be gin with, they proposed to have the British navy constructed of Cana- dian nickel. Thus they would open an immense demand for the product of the Sudbury mines. Mr. Ross waxed eloquent on what he would accomplish for Ontario in this way, but has already given up the job because he doesnot think the British want our nickel for that purpose. Next a new provincial drainage policy was to be introduc The Government in pursu- ance of this policy, has taken authority to act under a general statute instead of by annual appro- priations. Nothing new was at- tempted or done, and that « Mr, Ross now confesses is the begin- ning and end of the. Specially strong was cold storage as a means of improving | our foreign trade. Yet absolutely nothing has been done by him. Mr. Ross, however, takes credit for what the Dominion Goyernment, carrying out the policy of the Con- servatives, has accomplished, and that is the last of the cold storage plank. Another] proposal he advanced was the establishment of a permanent remount station in Ontario. Mr. Ross went to the trouble to write to Lord Strathcona about the matter, and 'has now washed his hands of it. Last but not least, the Premier guaranteed to establish in the province a great dressed beef industry. Subsequently however, he learned that a private gentleman, interested ina similar business; was making enquiries about the trade, and not to conflict or interfere with his plans, the Government stepped aside. Thus perished each and everyone of the rojects that Mr, Ross mapped out or his administration at its incep tion. By his confession yesterday the Premier either promised nothing save impossibilities when he made his program, or very soon forgot what he had undertaken. One feature of yesterday's debate that will not fail to leave a vivid impression on the proviiice was the appeal 'made' by: a' Liberal member, Mr. Gross, for a clean and honorable general election It was a plain intimation to the 'Govern- ment that the machine and its ways are coming into disrepute among the best class of Liberals. Signi ficantly ~~ enough, Conservative applause and Liberal silence greet- ed the observations of Mr. Gross. 3 Was by Mr. d to , od 'had Mr. pure Globe hasn't a for § x Port Perry RACES. -- and Friday of next week, and 17, are the days Port i great W The event will come off on Lake Scugog and indications point to the most successful meeting ever heid under the auspices of the Port Perry Trotting Association.

The Reeve said owing to the fact that two members of Council were absent he could not give a definite answer, but was of the opinion that no exception will be made to the locality referred to.

He was in. favor adding anotlier in- structor to the list making three in all. He hoped to see $50,000,000 of dairy products raised during the year, ! A VALUABLE EXAMPLE. The afternoon nieeting was large- ly attended, and the keenest interest was manifested in the proceedings. Mr. Joseph E. Gould, of Uxbridge, told how he kept 52 head of cattle, 34 being still milking, on one hund- red and ten acres, this herd ayerag- ed'275 pounds of butter a year per animal, against an average of 125 per annum for the Province. Some of the cows had given as high as 2,817, 8,484 and 9,359 pounds of milk a year, or double that of the average of the country. He raised on his farm all that he fed to his cows, except that he exchanged oafs for bran. He believed in the silo, and fed largely in summer. He had raised 225 tons on seventeen acres. He also cleared over $1200 on his herd of cattle, and $300 on which were fed largely on the of the dairy, "the lactic acid or a natural fer- ment in the milk. It was not nec: essary to have a cold storage compartment in every factory. A central place could serve a number J. | of factories. HOW PROFITS LEAK AWAY. Prof. Hart, of Kingston Dairy School, read an instructive paper on dairy leaks. Profit leaked away on accont of lack of the best mach- ery; iignorant handling of the cream separator, which should skim only 2,500 Ibs. of milk in the fall as against-3,000 in the spring; defective buildings, more particul- arly in the Mooring ; bad handling of 'the engine and fuel; foul skim milk tanks, and cheap and incom- petent butter-makers. HON. SIDNEY FISHER. Hon. Sidney Fisher was heartily received and briefly addressed the meeting. He impressed upon all engaged in dairying the necessity of having proper buildings in order to reduce the temperature and main tain the quality of their goods. He said that an ideal butter and cheese maker had qualities which would command a salary of one thousand to two thousand dollars in any city occupation, and yet the salaries id were from $300 to $500 a year. he object of the Government was to help to prevent the leaks describ- ed by Prof' Hart and the other speakers of the afternoon, Mr. John A, Ruddick urged the importance of dairy buildings being erected with a greater idea of dura- bility and usefulness. The site of a building should be chosen a view to drainage and water . He advocated the butting or concrete floors. after it, there are dangers frequently this that threaten !

Tours in the Holy Land 'May be Made by Trolley. Cleveland, I=. 9. -- American brains have hit upon another' moneymaking scheme, which will move the world to mirth. Capital ists of this city have decided to build an electric trolley line from Cairo, Egypt, to Mount Sinai; and. thence along the coast of the Red Sea through Syria and Arabia to Mecca. Americans have already built a trolley line from Jerusalem to Gali- lee, and soon the camel and the ass will be out of employment ; and the desert, the oasis, and the citron grove will hear the clang of trolley bell. As the Sultan approves of the idea and has already granted con- cessions to the Clevland Construc-: tion Company, the trolley cars will soon be buzzing along the shores of' Red Sea, and around the base of Mount Sanai. Tourists will feel no awe in approaching the huge basalt cliffs the desolate and storm riven mountain, where Moses enveloped: _ * in cloud and encompassed by light- ning, received the tables of "stone: Theltrolley car will bring them to the very place where the children of Israel prostated themselves when the mountain thundered and then quaked. From Mount Sanai a branch line will run to Damascus. Passenger going to Mecca from: Sanai will be whisked across the wilderness in a few hours where the Israelites tramped for forty. ye: The gars on the way to Mecca wil
