One Honest Man.
Dear Editor.—Please inform your read-
ers, that if written to confidentially I
will mail in a sealed letter, particulars
of a genuine; honest cure, by which I
was permanently restored to health and
man.y vigor, after years of sufferinginr
frdner os debility, sexual weak-
ness, night losses and weak shrunken
parts. I was robbed and swindled by
the quacks until I nearly lost faith in
mankind, bub thank heaven, I am now
well, vigorous and strong, and wish to
make this certain means of cure
known to all , sufferers. I have
nothing to sell, and want no money,
but being a firm believer in the uni-
versal brotherhood of man, I am desir-
•ons of helping the unfortunate to re-
gain their health and happiness, I
promise you perfect secrecy and as I
-do not wish to expose myself either,

BRIEFS. -- On Tuesday as G. M.
Elliott's horse and cart was passing a
bear, the that mentioned animal got
frightened and 011ie Buchanan, who
was with the driver in the rig, seeing
the horse start, jumped, and struck
the ground so heavily as to break one
•of his legs rather badly.—On Monday
afternoon as a buggy, in which Mrs.
W. H. Smith and child were seated,
was in front of the waterworks a horse
and buggy collided with it and upset
it, and the impact overturned the
other. Both horses started to run with
the occupants in the covers of the
buggies, but engineer Smith, who was
talking to his wife at time of the mis-
hap, made a giant stride and seized
the animal his partner was driving,
and R. Ellis, by unequally gallant act,
caught the other, thus preventing
what would have beenafatal accident.
—On Wednsday evening about 8.30, a
woman named Anderson, whose hus-
band is a stoker on the steamer Cam-
bria, attempted to go on the boat
while it lay at the dock, and miscal-
culating the distance she fell into the
water with her year old baby in her
arms. The little one was taken ont
'first, and when the mother landed she
was apparently dead. They were both
rescuscitated after considerable work.
—Lam Wednesday our read estate
owners voted for or against by-laws
for extending a pipe into the lake and
introducing lake water for town supply,
for putting in an incandescent in main
sewers all over the town. It was ex-
pected that the by-laws would be
carried, but the immense majorities
for each surprised most of our people.

This remedy is a great surprise and
delight on account of its exceeding
promptness in relieving pain in .the

of the tuinary passages in male or
female. It relieves retention of water
and pain in passing it almost imme-

and diabetes after all pills and powders
have failed; as it, being a liquid and
solvent, dissolves the sand -like
particles which always appears in the
blood of persons troubled with these
disorders. et dry powder or pill can
not possibly do this, as neither is a
solvent, Use South .American 'Kidney

silken fibres and then made into the
fabric known as Fibre Chamois which
offers a perfect protection from wind,
cold or sleet that makes healthful.
