IrrO/n the Stratfar dB esoen,
Among the residents of Stratford there
ie probably none better known or more
highly reepeoted than Mr. James A.
Smith, the Ontario street tonoorial artist.
Mr. Smith is also well known in Toronto,
in•which city he worked for several years
in a Yonge street bather shop. To are•
porter of the Boon, who is a oustemer
of his, the affable barber recently told of
hie recovery from a late very severe ill-
ness.
1 .neee. Be had, he said, for eome yore,
been affiiebed with a weak back, so mush
so that at times if he otooped he oould.
riot regain sm upright position nnnesieted,
and as for lifting anything, that was out
of the question. "For years," to use Mr,
Smith'e own words, "ipoold not oarry a
ecabtle-full of coal" He bas, so the
physicians whom he consulted bold hint,'
disease of the kidneys, but they failed to
ogre him. I -Ie grew weak at length and
rapidly lost fleoh. Quite frequently he
would be obliged to give up work for a
week and take to his bed. He lost hie
appetite, was pale and so unnerved that
he could nob possibly hope to continue
longer ab his trade. "Customers of the
barber shop," he remarked, "do nob oare
to be shaved by a man whose hand trem-
bles." He had been in bed for some time
undergoing treatment when one morning
his wife said to him, "Jim. I've gotta new
medicine I want yon to try," It was Dr.
Williams' Pink Pille she had. He ob-
jected to more medicine, as invalids will
do, but at length as'sensible men woolly
are, be was guided by his wife. Bub
mind you," he said,"I had, no faith in
the pills ; I only took them to please my
wife." It was fortunate he did so, for he
was soon bank at work and after taking.
several boxes of the medicine was 'strong,
er than he had been for several yehrs.
Within two months after beginning to
take Pink Pills he felt like a new man
and had gained over twenty pounds in
weight. There is certainly no healthier
looking man . m the oiby to day than
Mr. Smith. "Since his restoration to
health by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis he
bas recommended the remedy to many
of his friends and has yet to hear of a
oase where the remedy faithfully tried
was found wanting. In oases like that
of Mr. Smith, Pink Pills furbish a speedy
and efieotive oars, es indeed they do in
all oases dependent upon a poor or
watery condition of the blood or impair-
ed nervous forces. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills cure when other medioines fail.

Pine. --The most disastrous fire that
has visited Snatorth for some time ac.
burred early Wednesday morning of last
week, when the Commercial hotel,_ bit.
tiara and sample rooms in the rear were
completely destroyed, and the Bank of
Commerce block badly damaged by fire,
smoke and water, So completely did the
lire do its work that only the foundation
of the billiard room and the bore brick
walla of the hotel were left .standing.
Shortly after two o'clock some of the oo.
oupante of the hotel were awakened by
smoke, and on arising, found that the
building to the rear was all in flames.
In the excitement and hurry it was some
time after that before the fire alarm was
sounded, and in consequence the fire-
men
remen were at a deoided disadvantage, as
the dry frame building became a most
rapid prey to the flames, end it was one
mass of flames before the water began to
play on it. They then directed all their
attention to the hotel and surrounding
buildings, but although unable to save
the hotel, the adjacent buildings were got
well under command. There was a
strong wind blowing from the north-east
and sparks were flying thiok onto the
roofs of the buildings to the south and on
tLoee across the street. At one time it
looked ao though the fire would camper
and the entire oorner was in imminent
danger, and it was only the bard and un.
tiring work of the firemen, assisted by
others, with palls, that saved the building
from destruction. Several times the
woodwork of the Bank of Commerce
block caught fire, but was promptly ex-
tinguished. So rapidly did the fire
spread in the hotel that very little of .the
furniture was gotten out and several of
the boarders lost part of their clothing.
The priva'e rooms of the bank upstairs
Were badly damaged, , mostly by smoke
and water, although most of the clothing
was removed. The furniture and fixtures
in the rooms occupied by J. 0. Greig
woe also damaged by smoke and water ; ,
while Levi Wolper, who also lives up•
stairs, will be a heavy loser, mostly from
smoke and water. In the bank the water
played havoc with the ceiling and walls.
R. Logan's bank in the north corner: of
the hotel bnilding, was completely de.
moliehed, but everything portable had
been carried out, save the contents of the
vault and sate, and, as these were fire.
proof, the contents were not damaged.
To the south 0, Wilson's grocery and
E. Dawson's liquor store ware badly
smoked and soaked with water. John
Smith's carriage shop tons also eoorahed
and he will lose oonsiderable by the re.
moval of his stuff. A. Davidson had an
insurance of $7,000 on bis buildings,
while Mr. Bishop had • $2,000 insurance
on the furniture. Tha other losers except
Messrs. Logan and Greig, had more or
less insurance. The origin of the fire at
present seems a mystery, as there had
Mem no fire in the billiard room, where
the fire started, for a couple of days.
About two o'clock the hostler at the hotel
stables had gone to the stable to get out a
rig, but no fire was visible then. Night.
watchman Gillespie had also been in
that viaininity only a short time before
the fire broke out. The firemen deserve
great praise for the bard, brave work
which they did, and bad they been 1e=s
willing and worked leas efficiently, the
results would have been much more
serious.

important but too often neglected. When necessry we order then

Who not only? charge exorbitant prices for inferior goods but you
may ruin your sight by wearing ill-fitting Glasses. The eye is too
delicate an organ to be trifled with. Not only this, but if any
Spectacle we sell is not satisfactory we are here to snake them so.
A Peddler gets your money and you may never see him again; Do
not suppose because yon can read well with certain glasses when
first put on that they are the best kind for you ; many have bought
such, only to find that they tire the eye after a few hour's use,
showing that certain muscles are being over -taxed, and if their use
is persisted in serious results may follow. We have Graduated at
