TEM week Tint POST enters its 23rd
Volume in good health, sound in wind and
limb. It !s oostomary to return thanks
to all and sundry who have added to the.
emcees of Tun PosT during the past year
and we do this very heartily, remember-
ing the advertiser and the correspondent'
very gratefully for their favors. We
never bad as many readers as we have
had during the year just
closed and we want to double
our list of subsoribers next Fall.
A word of recommendetfon has often
proven of great benefit to THa POST and
we ask that where this can be done eon•
soientiously that our friends will not for-
get us.
B 1 the appearance of the war aloud
looming up in the East we would nob be
surprised to see Russia and Japan engage
in war. Russia appears to be interfering
a good deal in the matter of the with-
drawal of Japan troops from China and
the Sunrise Kingdom, fresh from her
viotories in China, is not disposed to bow
to the dictation of. the Great Bear. A.
struggle between these two powers would
mean an immense loss of life and proper-
ty as the military preparations have been
very oarefnlly planned and all the latest
devices for death dealing brought into
use.
Tan Toronto Globe of Monday says :--
The worthy member for East Huron, Dr.
Macdonald, had the misfortune to lose
his umbrella, and his fellow.Liberale of
No. 6 resolved that be should not suffer
from to.day's wet weather, so they pur-
chased a very handsome umbrella with
the doctor's initials engraved upon it,
and presented it to him. The incident
shows Dr. Maodonald's popularity with
his friends at Ottawa, and doubtless be
is just as popular with his 000etituents,
and deservedly so, because no man in
Parliament has labored more 008881ens
tiously to discharge his public duties, and
be bas on many occasions brought to
bear upon questions of trade and finance
that ability and industry wbioh charac•
terize all his work in Parliament. The
presentation was a000mpanied by
speeches, during wbioh the worthy doctor
blushed under the many kind things said
of him.

Man.—About half -past two on Friday
morning our villagers were around from
their slumber by the sound of the fire
alarm, their attention being drawn by
the fiery element wbioh was fast con-
suming the buildings and shed at the
rear of the Mansion hotel, but the fire
having got such headway, it was impos-
sible to atop its ravages in consuming the
whole building. The min portion was
brick veneered. The inmates barely
escaped with their lives. The firemen
worked hard to keep the fire from
destroying other property, although sever.
al unused buildings on Mill street were
consumed. It twos very fortunate that
the wind was blowing at the time from a
southerly direction ; bad it boon north.
erly instead a good portion of
the business part of the town
would not have escaped its fury.
Joseph Fischer, of Walton, lost his valu-
able stallion and Mr. MoKeller, our
oheesmaker, lost his driver, which were
in some parts of the building. The
proprietor of the Manston, John Bennett,
and the other losers have the sympathy
of every one in their lose, The origin of
the fire is unknown.

The Terrors of .[Dyspepsia
A DISEASE] THAT MAKES THE
LIFE OF ITS VICTIMS AL-
MOST IJNBI?ARABLE.
.t sufferer Mr years tells Low &heOblata•
cd ite1181•-A Bright Stay of Elope for
These Similarly Affected.
Prompt) l3owmanville News,
The editor abbe Nows, in company
with Mr. Jury, of the well lrnowu firm
of Stott & Jury, visited the' home of
Samuel Wood,; in the township of Darl-
ington, for the. purpose of ascertaining
the particulars of another of those re,
markable oures happily brought about
by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. It was Mrs. Wood who had
thus been released from suffering, and
when the newspaper man made- known
his mission she stud, "Yes I eau give you
a bright testimony in favor of Dr. Wit -
Hams' Pink Pills, for I believe that if
they did not save my life, they at all
events released me from untold misery.
Some three years ago dyspepsia Dame
upon me in a severe form. I dootored
with one of the local doctors for more
than a year, but all the time was growing
steadily worse. The medicine I took
coat me a dollar a bottle, and the expen-
diture was worse than useless for it did
me no good. Then my husband thought
as I was growing worse, it would be bet-
ter to try something else, as they felt that
unless a change soon same I was doomed
to live through the terrors of adyspeptic's
life. Sometimes I would be fairly doubl-
ed up with pain, and it seemed as if a
knife was cutting iuto me. I then tried
a number of medicines recommended for
dyspepsia, but none of them brought the
hoped for relief. We had so often read
of the remarkable cures achieved by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills that I deitormined
to give them a trial. I got a supply and
before the second box was gone I found
myself getting better. I continued the
use of the pills until I had taken eleven
boxes, when I was fully recovered. This
was a couple of years ago, and I have 'nob
now the least sign of dyspepsia." Mrs.
Wood further said that her husband had
been a victim of kidney trouble for a
long time and had taken a great dea1 of
medioino for its cure but to no avail.
When it was seen that Pink PIlls was do-
ing his wife so much good, Mr. Wood de•
termined to try them, and they acted like
a charm as he is now entirely free from
his complaint, and he attributed all to
the use of Pink Pills and would not be
without them in the house.
Messrs. Stott & Jury informed the
News that Pink Pills have an enormous
sale. They have handled Pink Pills for
years and say that they cannot recall se
single instance in which a customer came
back and said they were not perfectly
satisfied with the results. This is cer-
tainly a remarkable record, but. then Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills is a remarkable
medicine, and cures when other .medi
eines fail,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only
in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark
and wrapper (printed in red ink), and
may be had of all druggists or direct 'by
mail by Dr. Williams' Medicine Com-
pany, Brookville, Ont., or Schenectady,
N. Y., at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
