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.

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.
