1R8S," continued Mr. McDougall, "I
had. always enjoyed good health. At
that time I hada severe at: ack of diph-
theria, the after effects of which. left me
in a deplorable condition, I was troubl-
ed with a constant pilin in my left side,
just below the heart, And at times,
dizziness would cause me to throw up
my hands and fall on my bail:, sr side.
My face, hands and feet would swell
and turn cold. In this condition I.
could not move hands or feet and had to
be moved like a child. My appetite all
int left me and I got very little sleep; ` I
was under the caro of a doctor, lint got
nothing more than occasional eznpora.ry
relief. Finally I got so •w that my
friends wrote for my fat =r to come and
ee me for the last '• e. This was in
January, 1890.' Tha night the dotter
told my frion • : h • could do nothing for
me, and he c oubtecl if I would live
through the night. That night 1 t: ok a
severe fit of vomiting, and raised throe
pieces of matter, tough and leathery in
appearance, and each about three inches
long. The vomiting almost choked mo,
and it required two people to hold me in
bed, but I felt easier after it. •I was hi
this deplorable condition; when I was
urged by a neighbor to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. It was a hopeless case tut I
decided to try them. When I told the
doctor I was taking the'pills he said they
would do me no good; that I would
never be able to. work '.again. But he
was mistaken, for the effect was mar-
vellous; By March I was able to go out
of doors, and could walk quite a dis-
tance. I continued using Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. until I had take seventeen
boxes, and they have . made a new man
of me. My health is better than it has
bean for twenty years, and notwith-
standing the doctor's prediction, Ipm
able to stand any amount of hard work.
I attribute: my new manhood and re-
gained health to Dr. Wrlliams' Pink
Pills and gratefully recommend them to
others hi poor health."

1'tug (Sii Wall to is Volt.;, Ana.
In the nine years 1831-0, only five per-
sons were executed in London.
Of punishments less than death which
prevailed in England years ago mutila-
tion was one of the oldest and cruelest;
Under the D'anes,and even in the early
'Norman times, for certain offences men
were deprived of their eyes or parts of
the face or body.
Branding disparaging letters on the
chest, forehead or hands was a form of
mutilation and was occasionally per-
formed as a substitute for cutting off
the ears on those were had already lost
the se members.
Capital punishment was abolished for
21 crimes between 1818 and 1824. In
1827 there were still 31 crimes punish-
able with death. It was abolished for
nearly all these between 1832 and 1835,
and remains now for only two.
The pillory was e.. favorite punishment
in former times, and it had the dubious
advantage that it might be either a
very severe penalty or a very mild, ac-
cording as the populace regarded the
crimp for which it was inflicted. As
the spectators were allowed to pelt the
victim he often had it. very bad time of
it.
The penalty of burning to death pre-
vailed from the earliest . tlnics, and,.
strenge to say, it was practised on viliat
men then considered merciful grounds.
It was long the special penalty for her-
esy,
eres; , and this because the church at-
horred the shedding of blood. And, it
was inflicted on women for crimes for
which men were hanged, as a conces-
sion to the sex of the offender.
14n¢1t,;2, .triny Notes.
The worn-out uniforms of the British
army, when sold, bring back into the
'War Office treasury close upon £30,000
a year.
The armor plates for the new battle-
ship Ocean are to cost £150,820, and
these for her sister ship, the imp:nen- 1
ble, £140,000.
It is not considered exactly safe to.
fire a modern big steel gun, as used irk .
army, more than 100 times. It has been '
said that if England kept every gun it
has hr actual firing operations for 24
hours right off the bill would almost
throw her into a state of bankruptcy..
The'term 'Admiral" was not 'herd' of`
in the British navy before 1300, end the.
first English seaman to take the title•
was one rervase A ard,who was known
as "Admiral of the Fleet of the Cinque -
Ports." The term, however, had been:
in use in France some years before the-
dute here mentioned.
England's naival 1pigeon service costs.
nearly £300 yearly. or, to be exact,.
1205. There are 200 birds at Ports-
mouth, and the sane number at Devon-
port and Sheerness. The bare cost of'
feeding them is 1150 per annum. At
