THE EXETER ADVOCATE,
THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1895.
The Week's Commercial Summary.
I The shipments of gold, front New York
last week aggregated $3,800,000.
The wheat markets are weak, Mani.
'bobs grades are lower owing to big
Sales at 83c, for No. 1. hard, To-
euxito,freiglats.
Earnings of Canadian Pacifica for the
last week of August were $538,000, an in-
erease of $8,000 as compared with corres-
ponding week of Lest year.
Canadian securitiee are fairly active
and very strong. Cable is firm, with in-
dications of going higher. A. quarterly
dividend of 1 8-4 per cent. has just been
declared..
Sales of wool, which averaged. over
10,000,000 pounds per week when n°Teat.
speculative stocks were being taken,
have shrunk to 5,380,500 for the week,
against 7,557,300 for the same week in
1892.
The visible supply of wheat in the
United States and Canada is 35,440,00J
bushels, an increase of 850,000 bushels
ler the week. A year ago the visible
was 66,949,000 bushels, and two years
stgo 56,881,000 bushels.
There were 42 failures in the Dominion
'last week, as against 43 the previous
week, and 40 in the corresponding
week of a year ago. Ontario leads
with 21, being half the total
for the week, eighteen of whom had our
lowest credit or blank rating. Quebec
had. fafteen, an increase of one over the
previous week. Nova Scotia had three,
British Columbia two and New Bruns-
wick one. In Prince Edward Island. and
Manitoba none were reported last week.
R. G. Dun & Oo.'s weekly review of
trade in the United States says : There
15 110 real reaction in business. Gains
which were recognized as temporary are
vanishing, but there remains a decided
increase over last year at this date, al-
thougla prices average 8.8 per cent. lower
than a year ago. It needs no keen ob-
server to see that the reaction against a
rapid advance is strong.

The water in Georgian bay is 18 inches
lower than it was last year.
Berlin's newly found flowing well is at-
tracting great attention.
Cotton is strong, but has paused. The
general tendency to curtail purchases
where prices have notably advanced
grows clearer in boots and shoes, in wool
and. in some products of iron. The com-
binations have again advanced prices of
bar iron $2 per tun, and of wire nails 20c
per keg, while Bessemer is quoted at
$17.40 at _Pittsburg, and eastern manu-
facture from imported ore has again com-
menced to supply western consumers.
The brightest feature in all the horizon
is certainly that the crop of corn will be
enormous. Frosts now can affect only a
small fraetion, and the surplus will go
'into the manufacture of meats, because
at 35.7c at New York, nearly Sc lower
than a year ago, there is no other profit-
able use for corn. The latest reports of
wheat threshing induced western judges
to raise their estimate of the yield. over
40,000,000 bushels, and with 450,000,000
bushels added to 70,600,000 bushels
brought over, the supply will exceed all
probable demands. The price has again
dropped 3c, and, with western receipts
of 4,550,104 bushels, against 5,564,210
last year, the western farmer sells again
to discover that holding back wheat is a
losing business.

The thousands who suffer from heart

easily occur if it is a ease simply of experi-
menting with medicines that are not spe-
cially intended to remove the trouble in

THE PASTOR'S WIFE,.
4,11 Interesting intervieW With Mrs.
(Rev.) F. B. Stratton.
Threatened With Paralysis — Weak,
Emaciated and Unable to Stand ra-
tigue-innk Pills Restore Hor Health
From the Napaneo Beaver.
The Rev F.R.Stratton, of Selby, is one
of the best known ministers in 13ay of
Quince conference, of which body he is the
president. During the two years ¥r..
Stratton has been Stationed at Selby, both
he and Mrs. Stratton have won hosts of
friends among all classes for their unas-
Owning and sincere Christian work. Some.
tine ago Mrs. Stratton was attacked with
partial paralysis, and her restoration hav-
ing been attributed to the use of Dr. Will-
iams' Pink Pills, a reporter of the Beaver
was sent to interview her. Itt reply to
the reporter's question Mrs. Stratton said
that she had been greatly benefitted. Mrs.
Startton said that before moving to Selby
she had been greatly troubled by a numb-
ness coining over her sides and arms (par-
tial paralysis) which, when she moved,felt
as though hundreds of needles were stick-
ing in the %testi, For over a year she bad
been troubled in this way, with occasion-
ally a dizzy spell. She was becoming ema-
ciated and easily fatigued, and was unable
to get sleep from this cause. The trouble
seemed to be worse at night time. Mr.
Stratton had become greatly alarmed at
her bad state of health, and it was feared
that complete paralysl would ensue as
Mrs. Stratton's another, the late Mrs.
Weaver, of Ingersoll, had been similarly
etricken, at about the same 'age. Know-
ing a young lady in Trenton, where Mr.
Stratton had been previously stationed,
who had been oured by Dr.Williams' Pink
Pills, it was determined to give them a fair
trial. When Mrs. Stratton began using
the Pink Pills she was very thin and her
system badly run down, but after taking
the pills for a time, all symptoms of par-
alysis disappeared, and she found her
health and strength renewed and her
weight increased. Mrs. Stratton is about
fifty years of ago, and a more healthy,
robust, and younger looking lady is sel-
dom seen at that age.
ln reply to the reporter's inquiry as to
what Pilik Pills had done for his wife, Mr.
Stratton said, "Look at her, look at her,
doesn't she show it," and the reporter
could not but admit the truth of the state-
ment.
These pills are a positive cure for al'
troubles arising from a vitiated condition
o.! the blood or a shattered nervous system.
Sold by all dealers or by mail from the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brook-
ville, Ont., or Schenectady, N.Y., at 50
cents a box, or 6 boxes for $2.50. There
are numerous imitations and substitutes
against which the public is cautioned.
There never was, and never will be, a
universal panacea, m one remedy, for all
ills to which flesh • is heir—the very
nature of many curatives being such that
were the germs of other and differently
seated diseases rooted in the system of
the patient - what would relieve one ill,
in turn would aggravate the other. We
have, however, in Quinine Wine, when
obtainable in a sound unadulterated, state
a remedy for many and grevious ills. By
its gradual and. judicious use, the frailest
systems are led. into convalescence and
strength, by the influence which Quinine
exerts on Nature's own restoratives. It
relieves the drooping spirits of those with
whom a chronic state of morbid despond-
ency and lack of interest in life is a
disease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves,
disposes to sound and refreshing sleep—
iinparts vigor to the action of the blood,
which, being stimulated, courses through-
out the veins, strengthening the healthy
animal funetions of the system, thereby
making activity a necessary result,
strengthening the frame, and giving life
to the digestive organs,
which naturally
demand increased substance—result, im-
proved appetite. Northrop & Lyman of
Toronto, have given to the public their
superior Quinine Wine at the usual rate,
and, gage& by the opinions of scientists,
this wine approaches nearest perfection of
any in the market. All druggists sell it.

Always on Hand.—Mr. Thomas H.
Porter, Lower Ireland, P.Q., writes:
"My son, eighteen months old, had croup
so bad that nothing gave him relief until
a neighbor brought me some of Dr.
Thomas' Eclectric Oil, which I gave him,
and in six hours he vas mixed. It is the
best medicine I ever used, and I would
not be without a bottle of it in my
house."
A Rash Experiment.
"I am a ruined man !"
Passers by paused and noted. the indi-
vidual who sat on the fence, regarding
with sad dejection the new house over in
the ungraded lot.
"I am a ruined man I" he groaned
aloud.
Somebody remembered that he was the
man who draws the plans for $2,000
houses that are printed in the news-
papers.
"I am a ruined man !" he said for the
third time.
Then they understood that he had tried
to build a house from one of his own
designs.
Medical Testimony.
Reputable medical men will rarely al-
low their names to be ptiblished, endors-
ing any special form of medical treat-
ment. Often, however, there may be
found at Lakehurst Institute, Oakville,
members of the "noblest of the profes-
sions" who, being but human, have them-
selves fallen victims to alcohol. One of
these recounts his experience and ob-
servation thus: "From my own ease
and others I have observed, I have no
hesitation in sayin; that your method. of
treatment is eminently successful. I
was greatly surprised to see men of fifty
years and. over who had been for many
years addicted to the excessive use of
alcohol. in the course of five or six days
eating heartily, sleeping well, with no
more desire for alcohol, and with a feel-
ing of mental and bodily vigor not ex-
perienced for years—this I consider real-
ly wonderful." We might add that
these results are mainly due to the care
and judgment exercised in each individ-
ual case entrusted to us—features sel-
dom discoverable in her institutions
having similar objects. Full information,
