Evsrn Reformer, between now and Oct,
15th, should see that his name is ou the
he1 right Voters' list if las a g ht to
vote, as the Revising Barrister will revise
the lists this year. This new list will be
the one on which the coming Dominion
election will be fought, so that if Liberals
desire to see the cause of Free Trade
triumph they should attend to the very
necessary preliminary work in making
sure of their right to record their vote.
The necessary application blanks may be
obtained from W. H. Herr, Secretary.
The Directorate of the Toronto Exhi-
bition are becoming very broad spirited,
if we may judge by the after dinner
speeches made at the Fair. They are
quite anxious to get the whole Dominion
to became a party to their big, annual
boom, but the desire to unload their
$200,000 debt is no doubt at the bottom
of their philanthropy. The railways
running into the Queen city, the electric
railway, steamboat lines and hotel and
saloon men should put up a handsome
amount each year, as into their coffers
go the lion's share of the money expend-
ed by the thousauds of visitors. For
pity sake, Manager Hill, don't ask the
Government to tax the people of Canada
to boom your big circus.

Attend to the drains. Among the
many needful things to be done at this
season of the year, on the farm, there is
Jrobebly none of greater importance than
the proper cleaning out of all outlets of

A Rotnnrltnble epee or Consumption In
Its Last Magna -11x This Ono: Dread
1)1acase Conquered :-Inaport.,u t Pacts
to all. Suffering from Disenxed of
Weak Loop.
Einivoou, Ont., Aug. 21st, 1894.
DEAD Suns, -I wish to gall your at-
tention to a remarkable cure of con-
sumption. In March, 1803, I was called
in my professional capacity to see Miss
Christina Koester, of North Brant, (vile
was then suffering from an attaok of
inflammation of the left lung. The at-
taok was a severe one, the use of the lung
being eutirely gone one from the effect of the
disease. I treated her for two weeks
when recovery seemed assured. I after-
wards heard from her at intervals girt
the progress of recovery was satisfactory.
The case then passed from my notice
until June, when I was again called to
see her, her friends thinking she had gone
into consumption. On visiting her I
found their suspicions too well founded.
From robust health she had wasted to a
mere skeleton, scarcely able to walk
across the room. She was suffering from
an intense cough, and expectoration of
putrid matter, in feet about a pint each
night. There was a burning hectic fever
with chills daily. A careful examination
of the previously diseased lung showed
that its function was entirely destroyed.
Still having hopes that the trouble was
due to a collection of water around the
lung, I asked for a consultation, and the
following day with a prominent physician
of a neighboring town again made a care -
fel examination. E very symptom and
physical sign indicated the onset of rapid
consumption and the breaking down of
the lungs. Death certainly seemed but a
short time distant. Aregretful experien-
ce had taught me the uselessness of the
ordinary remedies used for this dread and
fatal disease, aid no hope was to be look-
ed for in this direction. I had frequently
read the testimonials in favor of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in wasting disease,
but not knowing their composition hesi-
tated to use them. Finally, however, I
decided to give them a trial, and I am
free to say that I only used them at a
stage when I knew of absolutely nothing
else that could save the patient's life.
The test was a severe ono and I must also
admit an unfair one, as the patient Was
so far gone as to make all hope of recovery
seem impossible. A very short time,
however, convinced me of the value of
Pink Pills. Although only using an or-
dinary soothing cough mixture along with
pills, within a week the symptoms had
abated so much that it was no longer
necessary for me to make daily calls.
Recovery was so rapid that within a
month Miss Koester was able to drive to
my office a distance of about six miles,
and was feeling reasonably well, except
for weakness. The expectoration had
ceaeed, the cough was gone and the
breathing in the diseased lung was being
restored. The use of the Pink Pills was
continued until the end of October, when
she ceased to take the nedioine, being in
perfect health. I still watched her case
with deep interest, but almost a year has
now passed and not a trace of her illness
remains. In fact she is as well as over
she was and leo one would suspect that
she had ever been ailing, to say nothing
of having been in the clutcbee, of such a
deadly disease as consumption. Her re-
covery through the use of Pink Pills after
having reached a stage when other reins -
dies were of no avail is so remarkable
that I feel myself justified in giving the
facts to the public, and I regret that the
composition of the trills is not known to
the medical profession at large in order
that their merit might be tested in many
more diseases and their usefulness be
thus extended. I intend giving them an
extended trial in the case of consumption,
believing from their action in this case,
