THE EXETER ADVOCATE, THURSDAY, SEPT. 2,1997. The Week's Commercial Summary. The Union Bank has opened a branch at Minnedosa, Man, The stooks of wheat in Fort William and Port Arthur are 857,118 bushels. The world's visible supply of wheat increased 750,000 bushels last week. The earnings of Canadian Pacific for the week ended August 14th were $449,- 00, an increase of $52,000. The price of seats on the New York Stook Exhcange axe inoreasing in value owing to the unusually active trading of late, They are now worth $20,000 as against $13,500 to $14,000 in dull times. The high price was $34.000 in the 80's. The hopeful feeling In business circles at Toronto still continues, although it is somewhat modified by crop reports. Rains are interfering with the successful harvesting of spring grains. The yield of wheat, however, will be unusually large, and rives are the highest for sev- eral years. This of course will be of great advantage to Ontario farmers, who will be enabled to meet their obligations and allow them a larger expenditure of money. The business community must necessarily reap the benefits resulting from such a favorable state of things. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade in the United States says: Not for several years have the telegraphic reports from various citie3 in all parts of the country bean as encouraging or shown as uniform improvement as this week. The markets are called crazy by some, but fairly represent the people, whose confid Ince in the future is strong and increas- ing. Nothing appears to check it. Ru- mors of injury to crops are not suffi- ciently reported to have much influence. The one temporary hindrance is the strike of bituminous coal miners, which interferes as yet little with industries, and seems likely to terminate within a week. There never was, and never will be, a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is beir—the very nature of many curatives being sucb 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 tbe 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 iufiuence which Qui - nixie exerts on Nature's own restoratives. Itrelieves the drooping spirlts of those with whom a chronic state of morbid des- pondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep— imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being etimuiated, courses through- out tbe veins, strengtbening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthening tbe frame, and giving life to the digestive organs, wbich naturally demand increased substauce—result, im- proved appetite. Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given to the public their superior Quinine Wine at tbe usual rate, and, gauged by the opinion of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market. A11 druggists sell it His Paper Did It. Glanders --It is said that paper can be used effectively in keeping a person warm. Gazly--That is very true.

From the Orangeville Sun. In a cosy little house in Margaret street, in this town, lives Mr. John Garrity, his wife and family. They aro indeed a happy family, although a few years ago a sadder household would be hard to find. Their happiness was not occasioned by tbe sudden obtaining of a fortune, but by something much more precious—the' restoration to health of a wife and mother when everyone whis- pered that she must die. Our reporter heard of Mrs. Garrity's illness and cure, and for the benefit of our readers Inves- tigated the case; what no learned is well worth repeating. A few years ago Mr. Garrity kept a well known hotel at Chelterham and was known far and wide for his kindness and hospitality; his wife too, was noted for her amiability. However, she was stricken with a pe- culiar sickness, her health failed rapidly and from one hundred and forty-seven pounds her weight became reduced to ninety-five pounds, Fainting spells be - thane frequent and a continual pain in the back of her head almost drove her frantic. Physicians were in attendance, but the doctors all said there was no hope. Mrs. Garrity saw death staring her in the face, and the thought of leaving. her little children caused her much sad- ness. She was advised to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, but thought they could not possibly do her any good when physicians had failed to alleviate her sufferings. Hoping, however, almost against hope, she procured a supply, and wonderful to relate she bad not been taping Pink Pills long when the dread- ful symptoms of her illness began to pass away, and to -day she is the picture of health. A few months ago Mr. Gar- rity and family removed to Orangeville, and in conversation with aur representa- tive Mrs. Garrity said: "I cannot tied words to express my thankfulness for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. Why it is almost miraculous. I wish that everyone 'who is suffering as I was will hear of tide remedy. We always keep a box of the Pink Pills in the house." The Upward «'ar. The upward way cannot be easy—it must be climbing to the end; but, as you climb, there comes more love of man, more love of God, a blessing of stronger, abler, kinder, happier life, and ever growing over all a quiet, restful sense of something brighter, happier still beyond; some crown of better life than aught we know of here, which the Lord hath, in the unfolding of the eternal years, for them that love Ilam.—Dr. Brooke Herford. $100 Reward $ 100.
