LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA. A DISEASE LONG FIELD BY PHYSi• CIANS TO HE INCURABLE. Its Horrors are These oro Living Death— The VIctim. Helpless. Ills Torture In- tense—Loses Control of Rowels and. Dlndder and is a Source or Constant Worry. to Family and Friends—A Remedy for the Disease Discovered. Mr. Jas. McLean, a resident of Lefroy, Simooe County, Ont., is known to every man, woman and child for miles around the vicinity of hie home, and all know of the long years during whish his condition has been that of a living death. Mr. Mc- Lean tells of his injury, his years of tor- ture, and his subsequent release from the agonies of locomotor ataxia, in thefollow- ing vivid language :— In the year 1880 I was thrown from a scaffold, falling on my bask on a stone pile. I was badly hurt and narrowly es- caped death. Plasters and liniments were applied, and I seemed to get some. what better. But the apparent Improve- ment was short lived, rdy feet began to get cold, and nothing that could be done would warm them. The trouble then spread to my legs, and from the waist down I was attacked with shooting pains flying along the nerves in thousands, and causing the most terrible torture for days and nights at a time. I could get no relief save from the injections of mor- phine. Six physicians treated me at different times, but appeared only to faintly understand my trouble, and could do nothing for my relief. Some of the doctors declared my trouble was rheuma- tism, but two of them said it was a disease of the spinal cord, that the trouble would get worse and that sooner or later my arms would become affected. This prediction proved true. My left hand dropped at the wrist joint and hung dead and cold, and I had no more control of it than if the hand were not on me. Fly blisters and electricity were resorted to without avail. My stomach was next At- tacked with a burning, aching, nauseating pain, causing the most distressing vomit- ing and I often thought I would not see morning. I have vomited almost con- tinually for thirty six hours, and nothing but morphine or chloroform could deaden the anguish I suffered. But worse • trouble was in store for me. I lost con- trol of my bowels and water, and my condition became most horrible, neces- sitation constantly the greatest care and watchfulness. I was now suffering from the top of my head to the point of my toes. I saw double, and had to keep my eyes fixed steadily on the ground to make a step at all, and the moment I raised my eyes I would stagger and fall if I were not grasping something. I could not take a single step in the dark. For nine long years I suffered all the horrors of a living death. In 1889 I was admitted to the Toronto General Hospital, where I was treated for four months. I was told that my trouble was locomotor ataxia, and incurable, and I returned home no better. After returning home I had further medical treatment, but with no better results than before, Finally I was given the following certificate of iuour- ability CHusclant, July 27th, 1898. THIS IS TO CERTIFY that James McLean has a disease of the spinal cord (incurable) that renders him unfit to ob- tain a living. �.r A. T. LITTLE, M, D. About this time I was strongly urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and oh how I wish I had known of this great remedy years ago 1 What anguish and torture I would have been spared 1 Soon after beginning the use of Pink Pills I found myself improving. The pains left me and I was able to discontinue the use of the morphine. I regained control of both bowels and bladder and gradually a feeling of life returned to my logs and arms. 1 can now walk without the aid of either crutches or sticks and can take long stridee. My stomach trouble has all left me, and I can eat as heartily as ever in my life. My friende, who never expected to see me about again, are astonished at the wonder Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have wrought in me. When I began theme of the pills my weight was reduced' to 136 pounds, and it has now increased to 186. I am a new man and it ie now impossible for me to say enough praise of your mar- vellous medioine. My wife also joins me in thanks, and says it was a happy day for her when I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as since then she has been able to get rest at night which she had not done for so many long years before. I hope Heaven may direct this into the hands of some other poor suffer- er, who may find lys I did, release from a living death through your greatlife-saving' remedy. Yours very gratefully. JAorme McLeue.

MAxDfue.—As eaoh day and week plisses by, death lays its cold band upon one or more of our old settlers and respected citizens. This week it is our sad duty to chronicle the death of one who is well known and beloved by everybody through this section of the country. We refer to Mrs. Richard Manning wile was called to her long home on Thursday, March 7th, at the nee of 88 years and 28 days, after a long 'lingua and patient Buffering. The funeral took place from the family resi- dence, on Main street on Saturday, fol. lowed by a large ooncouree of sorrowing friends and relatives to the Exeter come- tery, where the last sad rites of the Methodist Aural) were performed by Rev, Looke, of whose congregation she was a devout member.

Thomas Diokeon, an old and re. epeoted resident living on St, .Andrew's street, was found dead in her bed on Tuesday morning of last week.

She had lived alone for. Some years and was very comfortably situated. Two children of D. MoGilliouddy were taken down with diphtheria, and in the case of the oldest boy the disease made such progress that death seemed inevit- able, The medical attendants procured a supply of antitoxins, and although it was not administered until the third da of the illness in one case and the fifth i the other, both children improved rapid• ly under the treatment and are now out of danger. The efforts to seoure a first,oless Tid- ing and skating; rink for Goderioh bid fair to succeed even to the highest wishes of the promoters.

Curry and John Crawford, young men who have been spending the winter in Juno, Florida, hunting, were attacked by a panther Sunday eveuing. Curry reoeived wounds which are thought to be fatal, while Crawford will lose an eye., The young men were out hunting, and the dug treed a young panther, which they shot, not seeing the mother panther. The young men laid down their guns and began to skin the animal. They had hardly begun work when the mother panther, who was crouching on a limb of a tree overhead, sprang upon them. The hunters were crushed t0 the ground, and for a few moments were at the enraged beast's maroy. The animal planted its slaws in the left side of Currie's face and Coro it open. The unfortunate man rol- led over, only to receive another blow from the razor like claws of the savage brute. In the meantime Crawford tried to rise, but the panther wrath him in the right eye, almost tearing the ball from the socket. Crawford, although in agony and half blinded, began to strike the beast with his hunting knife. He dealt it blow after blow, the fight taking place over Curry's body. Finally the knife reached the panther's heart, and it dropped dead on the unnonsdous body of Curry, Crawford was so exhausted that he could not go for assistance, and the mangled men lay there till they were rammed by another party of hunters and brought to Juno, Curry was found to be frigbtfuily injured, and the physi- cians say that a blow whioh the panther dealt across the abdomen will likely prove fatal. Crawford's principal injury ie to his right eye, which will have to be removed. Curry came to Juno from Illinois and Crawford is from Pennsyl- vania.

Looking at them closely it is not hard to be- lieve that some of them might have been made by ants, so very small their step and so crooked their way ; excitable little creatures that with all their flurry never seem to get anywhere in particular, and whose whole interest seems to be that of turn- ing aside from obstacles. Others again, in the great length of their stride, remind one of, the mighty jump of the kangaroo. They are evidently getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to the observer that these must be the tracks of those shrewd merchants who 'got there' by jumping from one advertisement in Time Buussfats PosT to anoth- er, and as we ponder their prodigious strides, these beautiful lines of the pont come to mind Footprints tliat.perhaps another Sailing o'er life's troubled main, Some forlorn and shipwrecked brothel Seeing may take heart again.
