IS THE WAY A YOUNG LADY OF NEW BRUNSWICK VIEWS IT. Suffered b?ro,u ltentffiches, fain in the Side and 11o,trt r,apunumt-She Thinks Similar Sufercrs 311011141 Know now She hound at Caro. From the P'rederloktou Gleaner, Miss Alma 117:f11ar, of Upper South- ampton, N. B., is a daughter of Mr. Ezra Millar, a wealthy and influential farmer, and the young Indy is a general favorite among a wide aircls of acquaiut- eones, who have had occasion to con- gratulate her upon her complete rester• attou to health, after a severe and trying illness. When a correspondent of the Gleaner called Upon her, and requested that the feats might be given for publi- cation, the young lady, though not at all anxious for publicity, nevertheless gave ns her coent in the hope that her experi- ence might prove beneficial to some of the many young girls whose condition of health is very similar to what leers was previous to her cure, Miss Millar stated that when her Meese began her mother was unable took look after the affairs of the household and the duties largely devolved upon her. She felt herself growing weak cud easily tired, but felt that she must keep up. She says :-"Notwithstanding my efforts I found myself growing worse and worse. My appetite failed, niy com- plexion became sallow and my eyes sunk- en ie my head, I was troubled with dizziness, shortness of breath and palpita- tion of the heart until ret times I felt that I would suffocate. I was almost con- stantly troubled with a pain in my side and severe headaches. 1Vbon I went up- stairs I was forced to rest. Life had be- come almost a burden and e.0 last I was forced to give up and keep my bed. My friends feared I was going into oonsunep• tion and ono remedy attar another was tried without any beneficial results until I was induced to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, In less than three weeks I was able to leave my bed and go about the house, and the use of the Pink Pills a few weeks longer completely restored my health and strength and drove away all symptoms and pains which had made my life so miserable. I feel that m bringing this matter before the public I am but doing simple justice to suffering humanity, and I hope that those afflicted as I was will give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. I might also add that other members of our family have used Pink Pills with equally good results." Whet Dr. Williams' Pinit Pills have done for Miss Millar, they will do for thousands of other young girls through- out the country whose eoudition is similar. They restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheek,. correct tune. tionni derangements, and create a feeling of new life and energy. The genuine Pink Pills are solei only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full trade marls, "De. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," Refuse 011 pink color- ed imitations and other medicines said to be "just as good." Sltrl'LI'IBG AI.5. WANTS.

The strongest argument you one bring, in my opinion, against selling whiskey is right here in this test :-"Whatsoever a man eoweth, that shall be also reap," No ma71 can afford to sell it. Do you know why ? I will tell you. You sell my eon whiskey and make a drunkard of him, and someone is bound to sell your 0011 wbislwy and make a drunkard of him. I challenge you to find a man that has bean in the whiskey business twenty years that has not got a skeleton in his own home. He has either got a drunken son, or son.in-law, or brother-in.late, or some drunken relative. Now, I am talk- ing facts. I have not travelled up and down Christendom with my oyes shut. I have been around. The next morning alter I had made this remark, a man mane to my room in the hotel, and he said :-"I understand that you said to a company of men last night that you would challenge them to fled a men who had been in the whiskey businessltwenty years that had not brought the curse down on his own family." I said, "Yes, I made that statement " 'Well," he acid, "I want you to take it back ; it is not true." "All right," I said, "if you will convince me it is not true, I will make the retraction just as public as I made the statement." "Well," he said, "my father is a rnm.5511 r and I am a rum -seller, and the corse never struck my father's family or mine," "Wen,' I said, "that is the most astounding statement I have heard. Two gener- ations in that infernal business sed the wrath of God never struckeither family." There were two prominent citizens in the room at the time and I noticed they looked very strangely at nab other, and when the man went out, one said to the other :-"Sow oonld that man have said that before us ? Why, Mr. Moody, that man's own brother committed suicide only six weeks ago. He was the greatest drunkard we had in town, and left a widow and seven children, and left them without a penny, and now they grounder his own roof and he is taking caro of them. Not only that, be was drank every week himself on the street till hie brother committed suicide, and it gave bine snob. a shook that he has only given it up in the last six weeks, and yet that man had the audacity to come and say that the curse never came into his fam- ily" Don't sow whiskey and expeot to reap temperance. Don't sow blood and carnage -that is what it amounts to, nearly every drop of whiskey yon have got is turning out murderers -men who murder their wives and mothers and send their gray-baired fathers down to an ttn• imely grave. "Be not deceived ; God is not mocked. Wbatsoever a man eoweth that shall be also reap' When Mrs. P. Frederickson made her trip on the Congo Itailrond it was corn. pleted only to Tumba, 118 miles from its stetting point at Matadi, The trains are now running to the Inkiesi River, 171 miles, and the line is slowly pushing on to Stanley Pool, its terminu0, which will be reached next year. Mrs. Frederick- son, who wee a missionary returning from her foreign home to a station on the Congo, gives a good idea of rather prim• Hive railroading+ in a new country. They do things leisurly in tropical Africa. The schedule time for the train to start is 0:30 a. m., but it was 7.07 0' - cheek when the train pulled out of Mata. di. There was no platform or waiting - room, and so Ibe passengers stood along the track until the train was ready for them. It oonsisted of the locomotive, a freight oar and a passenger ear. The freight car was merely an open fiat oar, on which the boxes or bundles were piled and these artlelee were used as seats by the thircl-elaee passengers, or, in other words, the natives, who pay only very small rates of fare. The passenger coach seeing to have been very mucic like a Coney Island car. There were long wooden seats and our- tains at the sides, but nob a window in the car, and the passengers had plenty of fresh air. Mrs. lerodnricheon writes I "It was a ladles car, because there were ladies in it. It was also a amokieg ear, becense the gentlemen smoked, The train did net have such a luxury as a conductor. 'When the paesen05rs arrived at Tumba they gave up their tickets to a mieeionary who is stationed there. The train seemed to be in charge of the engineer and a blaok porter, whose place was in the passenger oar. Slung over his shoulder he carried a big bugle, and its puepose was aeon demoneteated. The passengers were suddenly treated to a mighty blast from the bugle, It was a sign01 to the engineer to atop the train.

Question --What part of the body does alcohol especially poison ? Answer -The brain. It seems to fly through the body to reach the brain 'just as quickly as possible. Q -Does alcohol product teal disease of the bruin ? A. -Yes, by taking away the necessary moisture from the brain, it in time pro- duces a brain paralysis, when the person ceases to know or to feel, and loses all oontrol over his movements. By the weakening of the blood vessels it often produces apoplexy, some little blood ves- sel bursting and allowing the blood to flow out into the substance of the blain. By the crowding of the blood vessels it produces other dangerous diseases. Q -Can the mind remain healthy and active in snob a condition of the brain ? A. -Certainly not, sleets the brain is the organ of the mind. A, little alcohol is often seen to offset the mind very strong- ly, the person becoming very cross and angry, He laughs or cries or raves, Blty- ing things that are not true and imagin- ing all sorts of foothill things. Q -What often happens if he continues to drink? A -Often he beoomee quite insane, and in hie madness injures some one whom, when in hie right mind, he laves. Q-Ilave we any proof that aloohol often produces lasting fnennity ? A -Yee, The reoorde of the asylums prove this. In one asylum it was found that forty out of every hundred persons admitted had beoome insane through strong drink, Q --What other Menses do alcohol produce ? A ---By its poison in the stomach ib pro- duoee terrible deem, It so herring the food that it cannot be digested, and so burdens and weakens the poor stomach till it can do almost nothing of the work it was made to do. Q --What does it do to the blood ? A It steals the water from the blood, hills the little air oells, and makes itquite unfit to repair the waste of the body. Q -Does the heart also become 515. need ? A --Yee. it begins to beat irregelariy. Its walls become weakened and worn one and its valves diseased. Many people die from heart disease produced by drink. To make your businese pay, good health is a prime factor. To scours good health, the blood should be kept pure and vigorous by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparil- la. When the vital fluid is impure and sluggish, there eau be neither health, strength nor ambition.
