from the Ti
hrone. After craving the ndul-
gence of the Howe, he went on to say that
Calla& was now entering upon her second
national epoch, the first having close with
the death of the veteran who, for 25 years
up to the °penile; of the last session, had
mainly guided the destinies of the country.
When the fir et epoch of Canadian history
began 25 yeas ago, Canada consisted of a
few scattered provinces, with no community
of interest, little interprovincial coin-
•muniotion or trade, and many clouds
looming upon the horizon of the country's
history. Now Canada was a Dominion
selahning half a' continent for its territory.
Ile was sure tee menabers of this House
would give credit to the Government for an
honest attempt to wary out under the
altered eircuontences arising from the
census returns as reasonable a system of re-
presentation as can be devised by honest
men. (Applause.) A bill will be presented
to amend the Civil Service Aot and one re-
lating to real property in the territories.
The Torrens system has been introduced,
and however difficult ita introduction may
be in old settled countries, all now agree
that it is desirable in a new country to have
as easy a system as possible for the transfer
of real estate. Ile concluded by moving
that a humble address be presented to His
Exoellency thanking him for his speech.
Mr. Bain (Soulanges) seconded the ad.
dress in Freuch. While a reciprocity
treaty with the United States was to be
desired, we were not as much in need of it
now as formerly, since the home market was
extended by the growth of cities and towns
among our own farmers. He hoped the
House would pay due attention to the report
of the commission on beet root sugar, as it
was an industry of the utmost importance
to the agricultural population.
Mr. Laurier heartily congratulated the
mover and seconder on their efforts. He
would frankly say that the hon. member for
East Hastings had delivered a speech which
he seldom had known to be excelled in this
House, and it would be well for all sides
if more of such apeeohes were heard.
He was surprised that he talked as
he did of the prosperity of this
country. He was not unprepared to
see the statement in the speech of His
Excellency. We were accustomed to that,
but was it possible that a young Canadian
could entertain such opinions as those which
were stated? When the advisers of His
Excellency put those words in his mouth,
cau we believe they are serious and sincere
in their utterance? Was it nob a game of
bluff to persist in this assertion ? It was
a mockery to speak of prosperity under such
a state of things as this. In a country like
Canada, which could give food and shelter
to 100,000,000, we have not kept 5,000,000.
As to the legislation promised in the
nipeeoh from the Throne, it was of a mild
'character, and, as the member for East
Hastings (Mr. Northrup) said, this would
:favor a short session. There was only one
measure which promised to challenge de-
bate, that measure being the promised Re-
distribution Bill. This was the most im.
rtant of the measures Parliament would
have to deal with, because it affected the
• very basis of the system of government un-
der which Canadians lived. The mover of
the address expressed the hope that, tb.e
measure would be based upon principles of
fairness. He hailed this expressiou with
,gladness, for if the bill were based upon the
'principles of fairness, it would be the first
time such a bill was so based. He hoped
the Government would not follow the plan
of hiving the Grits, but would make such a
measure as would result in a fair represen-
tation of political opinion in the House.
Sir John Thompson said that all must
agree that the gentlemen charged with the
duty of moving and seconding the address
ite,d performed that duty in a, most credit-
able manner. He could also include in
•these congratulations the leader of the
,Opposition but for some statements which
he made in which the House would hardly
ooncur—statements which the hon. gentle-
man himself would probably be dieposed to
revise on further consideration.
The address was formally adopted and
ordered to be engrossed.
A committee was appointed to nominate
the Select and Standing Committees and
-supervise the official reports of the debates
•of the House.
Sir John Thompson moved that when the
House adjourns on Tuesday, it (tend ad-
journed till Thursday following.
Mr. Laurier said he had received a press
despatch with regard to the negotiations
between Great Britain and the United
;States respecting Behring Sea, stating that
they had. reached a favorable termination
to -day, that Sir Julian Paunoefote and Mr.
Blaine had signed a treaty subject to the
approval of the British Parliament and the
Ignited States Congress. He supposed the
rbreaty would also be submitted to the Cana-
dian Parliament.
Sir John Thompson said he was not in
a position to make any formal announce-
-snout.
Mr. Mills asked the Minister of Justice to
lay on the table of the House the report of
the Sayward case with the American and
,Canadian argument. •
Sir John Thompson would have great
pleasure in doing so when the case was con.
luded.
Mr. Mills—The awe was conclude(' to-
day.
Reports and returns were laid on the
able as follows : Public accounts for the
ear ending 30th June,'91, preliminary
abstract Ciano,dian life insurance compan-
ies, and statement of unforseen expenses.
Mr. Vaillancourt, for Mr. Delisle, united
if the Government had been informed that
in the Province of Quebec Judges Baby,
Davidson, Jette, Mathieu and Pagnuelo
have set aside their judicial duties in order
to undertake political enquiries ; if so, what
oouree does the Government intend to take
in the matter?
Sir John Thompson—The Government is
aware that the judges named, were ap-
pointed to be members of a Royal Commis-
-sloe for making inquiries into matter's of
.great public importance, Tho Government
does not consider any further :lotion to Ise
netsessaty,
Mr. Lenclerkin moved for a return, show-
ing the number of Royal Commissions that
have been isettect in each and every year
:slue Confedetatiori, to whom anted, with
the subjecte inquired into, giving the cost
of each and the total cost of all,
Mr. Mills—I desire t� present a resolu.
tion as s matter of privilege, which ie also
,rone of ergenoy. I would Move, seconded by
Mr. Lennox', that, an otder of the House do
esue directing the Clerk of the Crown in
.Chitiacery to lay on tlae table of the House
the original lbst of voter e reeeived from the
revising offiper of the city of London, end
•also the list pirated and upon which the
recent election in the oily of London was
hold- Intake this motion because I under-
stand that a large number of nemes en the
list as sent by the revising officer to the
Clerk of the Crown ie Chancery were perm*
off, and that the comparison of this liet
with the one forwarded to London will
show that many of these names were
restored to the list to be used in the elec-
tion ; and if that be BO, and 1 an assured'
of it by a gentleman who has personally in-
spected the lists,
it is a matter requiring
the serious oonoideration of the House, and
so with the consent of the House I would
move this resolution without further notice,
because it is a matter affecting the constitu-
tion of this. House.
Sir John Thornpeon—I think the hon.
gentleman has not shown this to be a case
of privilege, nor has he shown that there is
any urgency about it. If it could be
shown that ibis a matter of urgenoy I do
not think that anybody would stand upon
the question whether it is a matter of privi-
lege or not. I think the hon. gentleman
had better give notice of motion in the
ordinary way.
• The motion was allowed to stand as a
notice of motion.
Mr. Speaker announced the unseating of
the member for Carleton, N. B., and the
issue of a writ for a new election, also the
return from the court announcing the dis-
missal of the petition in the Gloucester, N.
B., case, also the certificate of the returning
officer of the election of Wm. Smith in ehe
late bye -election in South Ontario.
Mr. Smith was then introduced by Mr.
Geo. E. Foster and Mr, Taylor, of Leeds,
and took his seat amidst the applause of -his
friends.
Mr. Charlton moved for leave to introduce
a Bill to secure the better observance of the
Lord's Day, commonly called Sunday.
Mr. White (Cardwell) moved for leave to
introduce a bill to amend the Insurance
Act. He explained that the object was to
prohibit the practice of granting rebeates of
premiums, e,nd also to compel agents to take
out licenses.
Mr. Taylor moved for leave to introduce
a bill to prohibit the importation and imi-
gration of foreigners and aliens under con-
traot or agreement to perform labor in
Canada.
Mr. Bowell, replying to Mr. Edgar,
stated that certain sums had been paid in
bounty to Mr. Alfred Muse for the produc-
tion of beetnugar under the act of last ses-
sion. The amount paid was $21,939, paid
in various amounts from 15th October, '91
to 23rd January '92.
Mr. Mills moved for a return showing
the date of the speaker's warrant, the date
of the writ, and the date of the appoinement
of a returning officer in the case of the
election of members to the House of Com-
mons since the close of last session ; also a
statement of the causes of delay in reference
to any of these matters where delays have
taken place. Carried.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell) moved that the
Clerk of the Crown in Chancery attend this
House with the original list of voters re-
ceived from the revising officer of ' the city
of London; also with the list as printed
and upon which the recent election for that
city was held. He said that when he
brought this resolution to the attention of
the House two :lays ago he brought it foie
ward as a matter of privilege. He (Mr.
Mills) had stated that the list as
obtained from the revising officer by the
Clerk of the Crown in Chancery contained
a number of names through which a
pen had been drawn, but in the list as
printed and used at the election these names
were included, and he thought it important
that the House, exercising the watchfulness
and care necessary for the preservation of
its own authority and the rights of the
people, would call upon the Clerk of the
Crown in Chancery to lay upon the table
the original list received by him from the
revising officer, also the lists as printed.
Mr. Monerieff said it was acknowledged
that the people subject to appeal were en-
titled to vote at that election.
Mr. Mulock said in the case over which
the question arose there were over229names
of voters subject to appeal. The list with
these names was forwarded to the Clerk of
the Crown in Chancery, and when the re-
turning officer did this his power was spent.
The Clerk of theCrown`gazetted that return.
Was the Government going to strain the
law against riaht and justice? He could
not forget the conduct of certain
returning officers. The Bothwell case
was iresh in his memory, whereby the re-
turning officer was upheld by the county
judge, and the candidate reported as elected
by them was only rejected by a decision of
the Supreme Court. The county judge
might take this question into his delibera-
tion, but it was said he intended to count
the Conservative candidate in. It was
rumored that he was manifesting a bias in
the case. "
Mr. Mills' motion was adopted.
Sir John Thompson moved that the
address of condolence to be presented to the
Queen and Prince and Princess of Wales on
the death of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, which had been received from the
Senate, be considered to -morrow.
Mr. John F. Stairs, M. P. for Halifax,
was introduced by Sir John Thompson and
Mr. Charles Tupper, and was loudly ap-
plauded by his friends as he took his seat.
Mr. Foster presented the report of Mr.
Saunders, director of experimental fertile,
on the subject of the production of beet root
sugar in Canada.
Mr. Speaker announced that in accord-
ance with the resolution of the House
passed yesterday the Clerk of the Crown in
Chancery was in attendance at the table of
the House with the copies of the voters'
lists of London as sent to him by the revis-
ing officer, and also the list as printed and
used in the late election in London.
Mr. Mills moved that these lists be laid
on the table.—Carried. •
Sir John Thompson moved thatthe House
of Commons concur in the address adopted
by the Senate expressing the condolence of
Parliament and the people of Canada with
Her Majesty on the death of the Duke of
Clarence and Avondale.
he amendment was carried on a division.
• The House adjourned at 5.45 o'clock.

new member for Kingston.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on Mr. Mowat's Bill respecting the
Law of Mortmain, Mr. Awrey in the chair.
Three clauses were passed with slight verbal
changes.
Mr. Meredith objected to the provisions
of the fourth clause, which make it incum-
bent upon executors to sell real estate be-
queathed for charitable purposes before the
expiration of one year. He suggested that
the land might be sold to Vetter advantage
by extending the limit of time.
Mr. Mowat said the bill was similar to
the one passed by the Imperial Parlia-
ment, but he had no objection to making
the period two years. The clause was thus
passed and the committee asked leave to sit
again.
Mr. Waters presented a petition of the
Council of the township of McGillivray,
praying against the repeal of section 30 of
the Municipal Act respecting 100.feet
bridges.
Several other petitions on single tax, con-
tract labor on public works, personalty
assessment and temperance legislation were
presented.
Mr. Gibson presented the second reportof
the Committee on Standing Orders.
Mr. Mowat's Bill to further amend the
Act respecting mortgages on personal pro-
perty was read a first time. In answer
to a question by Mr. Meredith, he ex-
plained that the Bill dealt with the regis-
tration of preference claims, chattel inort-
gages and other anomalies of the present
law.
Mr. McKay (Victoria)—A Bill to amend
the Act respecting the township of Harvey,
in the county of Peterboro'.
Mr. Davis—An Act to incorporate the
Ontario Ship Railway Company.
Mn Marter moved for an address to His
Honor the Lieutenant -Governor, praying
that he will cause to be laid before this
House a return showing : 1. The quantity
of pine in unlicensed territory disposed of
since last session. 2. The persons to whom
the same was sold, and the quantity sold to
each of such persons. 3. The prices at
which each sale was effected. 4. The terms
and conditions of the sales. 5. The purchase
money paid, and the amount, if any, ro.
maining unpaid, giving the name of each
purchaser any part of whose purcbase
money is paid, and the amount unpaid by
him. 6. Copies of the Orders -in -Council
authorizing the sales, and the reports and
other material on which the same were
leased. He said that he did not desire to
speak at length on the question, as it ex-
plained itself.
Mr. Hardy said that there was no reason
why a return should not be brought down.
He explained that no other timber but pine
had been disposed of, and that the money
had been paid in the same manner as tim-
ber dues. k or instance, in the case of tim-
ber cut this winter, the bonus ancl dues
wonld be paid next September.
Mr. McKay (Oxford) moved the second
reading of the bill to amend clause 30 of the
Municipal Act. This clause is the one that
refers to 100 -feet bridges, and makes them
a charge upon County Councils.
Mr. Meredith said that the bill was too
important to be taken up at this stage of
the session, and that he considered it wrong
to veil such important legislation by simply
introducing a a bill to repeal a clause. He
wanted the bill laid over for a few days.
Mr. McKay said that the bill was cer-
tainly an important one, and his only reason
fer moving the second reading was that it
should go before the committee, and that
cleputatiotte could be heard on the subject.
He, however, allowed the bill to stand.
Mr. Gibson presented a return on infant
criminals, and a return on the correspond-
ence with the medical whools.
salary and table issued in connection with
public institutions and charities since and
inclusive of 1881 and 1891. This motion
was ab the instance of the Public Acommts
Committee.
Mr. Gibson said that he did not promise
on behalf of the department that the inane
motion could be laid before the committee
all et orme. The information would be given
as soon ae possible.
Mr. Mowat moved the Muse into win-
mittoe on a bill to amend the law relating
to morienaih and charitable Uses.
Mr, Hardy moved the House into com-
mittee on a bill' to incorporate the Aesocia.
tion of Oaten() Land Surveyors.
The nil' was carried as =elided.
Harcourt moved the Ilouse into Com,
mibtee of Supply, Mn Awrey in the chair.
Mr. Meredith protested against an in-
crease et $500 being votocl to Dr. Bryce, the
Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health.
His salary was already $2,000, whioh o 01
as much as he thought hith entitled to.
Mr. Meredith asked if Mr. Wheeler, who
had done woolens' work for the Registrar -
General's DepertMent as clerk, had not Wert
dismissed on account of irregularities.
Gibson admitted that there had been
clerical irregularities of bookkeeping, but no
defeloatione.
Mr. Rees spoke at length upon the item
of $241,776.92 for grants to Public and nep-
arete wheels for 189e.
Mr. McColl thought the grant to Public
wheels Was 50 hedged around with stipule,
tions that, in the case of the constituency
which he represented, the grant would aid
those schools whkh needed 0 least.
Mr. Bush reed that, judging from the
report of the Minister of Education, too
much attention was being given to higher
education.
Mr. ROM desired to state in contradiction
to a generally accepted belief that the fifth
form was not abolished in the Public
Schools. He admitted that teachers were
underpaid, but it was useless to blame the
Government. They did not regulate the
salaries. The reason that teachers did not
remain longer in their profession was doubt-
ess by reason of their scanty salaries.
The committee passed the items under the
head of "Education," in all amounting to
$655,826.92.
Mr, McMahon asked if. the return relative
to trust corporations was to be brought
down soon?
Mr. Gibson said that several sessional
writers were at work on the matter, and 0
would be down in a few days.
Mr. Meredith moved for copies of the
order -in -council. for the appointment of a
commission as to the proposed forest reser-
vation and park in the Nipissing district,
of the commission issued in pursuance
thereof, and the instructions to the 00M-
missioners. He conceived the object to
be one of the most important then could en.
gage the attention of the Legislature.
Mr. Hardy, in reply, said that the scope
and objects of the commission were not as
comprehensive, nor perhaps, was the forest
park or reservation, as contemplated, of
that extent or magnitude which would be
implied from the remarks of the hon. gen-
tleman. The reservation was situated south
of the Mattawa River, and north of Hall -
button. It lay within the district bounded
on the east by Parry Sound and on the west
by the Ottawa River. It comprised fifteen
or twenty townships, more or less. There
were, perhaps, six, eight or ten of these
townships which contained within their
boundaries a number and variety of small
lakes. The whole surface was dotted with
small lakes. They worn the fountain heads
of several rivers which flowed east and
west. It was thought that as these town -
shin's' were practically unsettled and to a
considerable extent unfit for agricultural
purposes the pine having been taken off
most of them, 0 would be in the interests of
the province to establish what might be
called a park or fornet reservation to
answer several purposes, firat, so as to
inure for all future time the supply of rain-
fall which naturally followed forest reserva-
tions.
Mr. Meredith moved for a return of copies
of the case submitted for the opinion of the
Court of Appeal as to the validity of the
local option provisions of the Municipal
Act, and of the opinions of the judges of the
said court thereon, and of the judgment pro-
nounced by the court in the premises.
Mr. Meredith moved for correspondence
on the subject of the fusion of the several
divisions of the High Court of Justice and
of changes in the practice of the said court,
Mr. Hardy moved that Mr. Barr, the
newly -elected member for North Renfrew,
be ended to the Committees on Municipal
Law and Standing Orders, and that Mr.
Harty, the newly-eleeted member for King-
ston, Ise added to the Committees on Rail-
ways and Private Bille.
Mr. Meredith asked that the motion be
laid over till Monday. There were no com-
mittees onthat day.
Mr. Hardy hait no objection, and the
matter stands.
A Fire Brigade Brill.
I have in mind a hotel in Scotland where
the drill of the fire brigade is a part of
every week's work. The alarm is given at
different hours of the day and night, guests
always being notified in advance and often
assisting. At a given signal clerks, waiters,
hall boys, chambermaids, etc., drop what-
ever they may be doing and rush to their
posts, going through whatever task is set
for them. Such discipline as this should be
required of every hotel in this country. To
permit the erection of such enormous
structures as now disfigure the streets,
from which escape is impossible in the event
of fire and not to hold hotel keepers re-
sponsible for the safety of guests, is to put
a premium on manslaughter.
What hotel will lead in organizing a fire
brigade ?—Kate Field's Washington.

"What is that?" she asked, toying ab-
sently with the lobe of her shell like ea,r.
"It is this," he muttered : "shall I re-
turn those black satin suspenders by mail,

A SARATOGA CO. MIRACLE,

AS INCURABLE.
The Beraarkethe Experieeee of Chas, quid as
Investigated by an Albany (N, Y, Journal
Reporter—A Btory of Bypassing
Interest.
(Albany, N. Y., Journal, March 4th.)
anneeteaa, Match 4th.—For some tinier
past there have been reports here and
elsewhere in Saratoga county of a most
remarkable—indeed, so remarkable as to
be miraculous—cure of a most severe ease
of locomotor ataxia, creeping paraly-
sis, simply by the use of a popular
remedy known as Pink Pills for
Pale People," prepared and put up
by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Morristown, N. and Brockville, Ont.
The story was to the effect that Mr. Chas.
A. Quant, of Galway, who for the last six
or eight years has been a great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and its attendant ills,
and who had become utterly power-
less of all self-help, had, by the
use of a few boxes of the Pink Pills
for Pale People, been so fully restored
to health as to be able to walk about the
street without the aid of crutches. The
fame of this wonderful, miraoulous cure
was so great that the Evening Journal
reporter thought it worth his while to go to
Galway to call on Mr. Quant, to learn from
hie lips, and from the observation and testi-
mony of his neighbors, if his alleged cure
was a fact or only an unfounded rumor.
And so he drove toeralway and spent a day
and a night there in visiting. Mr. Quant,
getting his Beery and interviewnig hisneigh-
bora and fellow -townsmen. It maybe proper
to say that Galway is a pretty little village
of about 400 people, delightfully located
near the centre of the township of Gal-
way, in Saratoga county, and about 17 miles
from Saratoga Springs. Upon inquiry, the
residence of Mr. Charles A. Quant was easily
found, for everybody seemed to know him,
speak well of him, and to be overflowing
with surprise and satisfaction at his wonder-
ful cure and restoration to the activities
of enterprising citizenship, tor Mr. Quant
was born in Galway and had spent most of
his life there. Mr. Quant was found at his
pretty home, on a pleasant street, nearly
opposite the academy. In response to a
knock at the door it was opened by a man
whc, in reply to an inquiry if Mr. Quant
lived there and was at home, said: "I am
Mr. Quant. Will you come in?" After a
little general and preliminary conversation,
and after he had been apprised of the object
for which the Journal reporter had called
upon him, he, at request, told the story of
himself and of his sickness and terrible
sufferings and of the 'ineffectual treatment
he had had, and of his final euro by the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
and cheerfully gave assentto its use for pub-
lication. He said : "My name is Charles
A. Qaant. I am 37 years old. I was born
in the village of Galway, and excepting
while traveling on business and a
little while in Amsterdam, have spent
my whole life here. My wife is a native of
Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had
never been sick and was then in perfect
health. I was fully six feet tall, weighed
180 pounds and was very strong. For 12
years I was a travelling salesman for a piano
and organ company and had to do, or at
least did do a great deal of heavy lifting,
got my meals very irregularly and slept in
enough spare beds' in country houses to
freeze any ordinary man to death, or at
least give him the rheumatism. About
eight years ago 1 began to feel distress in
my stomach and consulted several doctors
about it. They all said it was dyspepsia,
and for dyspepsia I was treated by various
doctors in different places and took all the
patent medicines I could hear of that
claimed to be a cure for dyspepsia. But I
continued to grow gradually worse for four
years. Then I began to have pain in my back
and legs and became conscious that my
legs were getting weak and my step un-
steady, and then I staggered when I
walked. Having received no benefit from
the use of patent medicines, and feeling
that I was constantly growing worse, I
then, upon advice, began the use of electric
belts, pads and all the many different kinds
of electric appliances I could hear of, and
spent hundreds of dollars for them, but
they did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant
showed the .Tournal reporter an electric suit
of underwear for which he psed $124.) In
the fall of 1888 the doctors advised a
change of climate, so I went to Atlanta,
Ga., and acted as agent for the Estey
Organ Company. While there I took a
thorough electric treatment, but it only
seemed to aggravate my disease, and the
only relief I could get from the sharp
and distressing pains was to take mor-
phine. The pain was so intense at times
that 0 seemed as though I could not
stand. it, and I almost longed for death
as the only certain relief. In September
of 1888 my legs gave out entirely and my
left eye was drawn to one side, so that I
had double sight and was dizzy. My
trouble so affected my whole nervous system
that I had to give up business. Then I re-
turned to New York and went to the Roose-
velt Hospital, where four months I was
treated by specialists and they pronounced
I my case locomotor ataxia and Incurable.
After 1 bad been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they
told me they had done all they could for me.
Theu I went to the New York Hospital on
Fifteenth street, where, upon examination,
they said I was incurable and would not
take sale in. At the Presbyterian Hospital
they examined me and told me the same
'thing. In March, 18t10, I was taken to
St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, where
Prof. H. H. Hun frankly told my wife my
case was hopeless; that he could do noth-
ing for me and that she had better
take me back and save my
money. But I wanted to make a trial of
Prof. Hun's famous skill and I remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but se.
cured no benefit. All this time I had been
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist clown and had
partly lost control of nip bands, The pain
was terrible ; my legs ielt as though they
were freezing, and my stomach would nob
retain food, and 1 fell away to :NO pounds.
In the Albany Ilohpitoi they .put 17 big
burns on my back one clay with red hot
irons, and after a few days they put 14 more
barna on and treated me with elec-
tricity, but I got worse rather than
better ; lost control of my bowels and
water, and upon advice of the doethr,
who said there was no hope for Me, I
was brought, home, where it Was thought
that death would won come to relieve inc
of my sufferings. Last September,
while in
Ibis helpless and suffernig ansdition,
friend of mine in nedniiton Ont., called

Marshall began a course of treatment with
Dr. Williams' Pink Pine and after taking
some fifteen boxes woe fully restored tea'
health.
I thought 1 would try them and my wifo,
sent for two boxes of the pine and took
them according to the directione given; on
the wrapper on each box. For the first few
days the cold baths were pretty SeYerap so
WaS eo very weak, but I continued to folls
low instructions as to taking the pills and
treatment, and even before I had need up
the two boxes of pills 1 began to feel bene-
ficial effects from them. My peens were
not so bad; 1 felt warmer; tny head felt
better ; my food began to relish and agree

began to come back into my lambs;
began to be able to get about on
crutches; my eye came back again as good..
as ever, and now, after the use of eight
boxes of the pills—at a cost of only $4

can saw wood, and on pleasant days I walk
down town. My stoma,ch trouble is gone ;
I have gained ten pounds; I feel like a new
man, and when the spring opens I expect to.
be able to renew my organ and piano
agency. 1 cannot speak in too high terms
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
as I know they saved my life after all the
doctors had given me up as inoureble."
Other citizens of Galway, seeing the won-
derful cure of Mr. Quant by the Pink Pills
for Pale People, are using them. Frederick
Sexton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he
was finding great benefit from their use,
and Mr. Schultz, who had suffered froni.
chronic) dysentery for years, said he had
taken two bOx013 of the pills and was already
cured.
Mr. Quant had also tried Faith cure,
with experts of that treatment in Albany
and Greenville, S. C., but with no benefi-
cial results.
A number of the more prominent citizens
of Galway, as Rev. 0. E. Herbert, of the
Presbyterian Church; Prof. James E.
Kelly, Principal of the Academy ; John P.
and Harvey Crouch, andFrank and Edward
Willard, merchants, and many others to
whom Mr. Quant and hisso miraculous cure
by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, are well known, were pleased
to have the opportunity of bearing testi-
mony to the high character of Mr. Quann,
and of verifying the story of his recovery
from the terrible affliction from which he
had for so long a time been a sufferer.
Truly, the duty of the physician is not
to save life but to heal disease.
The remarkable result from the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the case of Mr.
Quant, induced the reporter to make
further inquiries concerning them, and he
ascertained that they are not 'a patents
medicine in the eense in which that term
is generally used, but a highly scientific
preparation, the result of years ef study
and careful experiment. They have no
rival as a blood builder and nerve re-
storer and have met with unparalleled
success in the treatment of such diseases
as paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, St.
Vitus' dance, palpitation of the heart,
that tired feeling which affects so
many, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition of the blood or shattered
nerves.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are also
a specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities, an
all forms ot weakness. They build up
the blood and restore the glow of health to
pale or sallow cheeks. In the case of men
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over -work, or excesses
of whatever nature.
On further ingutry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.,
and Morristown, N. Y., and are sold in
boxes (never in bulk by the hundred) at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and
may be had of all druggists or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
from either address. The price at which
these pills are sold makes a course of
treatment comparatively inexpensive as
compared with other remedies, or medical
treatment.
Jile Lost Her.
He had asked her to marry him, and was
waiting impatiently for her answer.
"Will you expect me to keep house ?" alio
finally asked.
"No, indeed, my love; the servants will
attend to all that."
"Von won't ask me to make the bread,
or broil beefsteaks ?"
"Certainly not, my angel; we will have
a cook."
"And I will not be compelled to pound
the washboard ?"
"How can you ask such a question? No,
no, no."
"Then I cannot marry you. I have been
brought up to do all these things, and
I could not be happy in a life of idleness."
When. he realized what a treasure he had
lost, he went sadly to his luxurious home,
and vowed to remain aebachelor forever.—
