I de- mand that olTloe seekers and politiaians told up their gaseous and imbecile e ! speeches about the independent life of a farmer and sdbstirute some word of corn - fort drawn from the fact that tboy are 1 free from city conventionalities and city epidemics and airy temptations. 11y most vivid reitionibruune of boy- hood is of my father coming in on a very hot day from the harvesting field and senting himself on the doorsill because • he was too faint to get into the house, the perspiration streaming from forehead and from chin, and my mother trying to resu;citute him with a cup of cold water wbioh ho was too faint to boli to his own lips, while saying to us: 'Don't be frightened; there's nothing the mat- ter. A little tired, that's all; a little tired." Ever since that day, wnon I hear people talking about the independent life of a farmer I see through the sham. Farmers want not your flatteries, but your sympathies. Give Praise where Due. Encourage the dootor%. You praise the dootor when he brings you up from an awful crisis of disease, but do you praise the doctor when, through skillful treat- ment of tbe incipient stages of disease, he keeps you from sinking down to the awful crisis? There is a groat deal of cheap and heartless wit about doctors, but I notice that the people who get off that wit are the first to send for a doctor when there is anything the matter. 'There nre those who undertake to say in our day that doators are really useless. One man has written a book entitled, "Every Man His Own Doctor," That author ought to write ono more book entitled, ""Every Mau His Own Under• taker:" ""Oh," says some one, "pbvsi- oleos In constant presence of pain get hard hearted!" Do they? The most cele- brated surgeon of the -last generation stoodin'a clinical .department of one of t"t,i New lore medical colleges, the stu- dents Intel:wed in the amphitheater to see a very painful operation on a little child. ,The old surgeon said: "Gentle- men, excuse me if I retire. Those sur - goons. can do this as well as I can, and as I get older it gives me more and more distress to see pain." Physicians have so many hardships, so many interruptions, so many annoy- ances, I am glad they have so many encouragements: All doors open to them. They are welcome to mansion and to cot. Little children shout when they see them coining down the road, and the aged,. recognizing the step, tech up and say, "Doctor, is that you?'' They stand be- tween our families and the grave, fight Ing back the troops of disorder that opine up front their encampment by the cold river.

PARTIAL PARLYSIS. A Severe Cold Brings a Wife and Mother Low. Partial Paralysis Accomp;enled 5,y Palate lag Fits Follows - .Doctors Fall to nrtea Itellnt-zir, iVilliams' Pink Pills Restore Health. Brook]lolm, a suburb of Owen Sound, is fairly vibrating with Interest in the won- derful cures effected in that place by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink fills. A. news- paper man of Toronto,spending sometime in the vicinity, was directed to a house on a hill overlooking; Owen Sound's beauti- ful bay, and was told that there ho would learn something about at cure effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The. hill was climbed, and it is to Mr. J. P. Goodfellow, the genial owner and occupant of that pleasant home, that he is indebted for the following facts: -"My wifeowes her good' measure of health to -day to Dr. William"' Pink Pills," said Mr. Goodfellow. "Oa the 12th of July, 1895, Mrs. Goodfellow went on an excursion to Collingwood by boat and came home with a severe cold,. Which developed into a partial or slight attack of paralysis in the left side and limb. In addition, at times she would be seized with a dizziness which often re- sulted in sudden and severe fails, This ' paralysis made her unable to lift any , weight with her left hand. She called in medical aid and for some months followed the advice and took the medicines pre- scribed. But it was only money wasted, f as she did not get any better. As Mira. . Goodfellow has three children and her hus- band to care for, it was a deep trouble tm the family for her to be so afflicted. For eight months these dizzy spells and the paralysis continued. Then some friend asked her to try a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To please the friend she consented to purchase a few boxes. When these had been taken she felt decidedly better. The fainting spells came less fre- quent, her strength returned to her side and arra, and she was delighted with the result. After taking about six boxes, and feeling quite well again, she diecon- tinued the use of vhe pills fur a time, but tater felt some of the old symptoms re- turning. She again promised a supply and recommenced their use, and was overjoyed to find that these valuable little pellets again gave relief. She continued taking them until she felt that she must certainly be over the effects of the trouble, when she again ceased to take the. pills. That is over a year and a half' ago; and only once or twice since has she had any slight symptoms of the old trouble, and. then ut few doses of the pills wouldgive full relief. Mrs. Goodfellow is decidedly of the opinion that she owes her present health to Dr. *Mewls' Pink Pills, and: is most enthusiastic in her recotnmeauiation )f them to her friends and acquaintance', It may ue:only a trifling cold, but neg- lect it and it will fasten its fangs in your lungs, and you will soon be carried to an untimely grave. In this country we have .andden changes and must expect to batls coughs and colds. We cannot avoid theta, bur we can effect a cure by, using Bickle's ,Anti -Consumptive Syrup, the medicine that has never been known to fail in cur, ing coughs; colds, bronchitis and all ai' fe tions, of the throat, lungs and chest. .4 '1'ene:hene tf",yeott.
