From the Utica, ffi. Y., Press,
Tito Rev, Wm. P. P. Pergeson, "fres•
byterian Minister at Whitesboro', whose
picture we give below, will not be unfa-
miliar by sight to malty readers, A
young man, he has still had an extended
experience as foreignmissionary, teacher,
editor, lecturer and pastor that has given
hien a wide acquaintance in many parts
of the country.
In au interview a few days ago, he
said :
"In the early Summer of '94 I went
upon a tour throdgh a part of Ontario on
my wheel. Iffy route was from Utica to
Cape Vincent, thence by steamer to
Kingston, and from there along the
North shore of the lake to Toronto and
around to Niagara Palls. 1 arrived at
Cape Vincent at 5 o'clock, haying ridden
against a strong head wind all day.
"After a delightful sail through the.
Thousand Islands, I stepped on shore in
that quaint old city of Kingston. A
shower had fallen and the streets were
damp,so that wisdom would have die-
tated hat I, leg -weary as I was, should
have kept in doors, but so anxious was I
to see the old city that I spent the whole
evening fn the streets.
"Five o'clock the next morning brought
a very unwelcome discovery. I was lame
in both ankles and knees. The hoed
wind and the damp streets had proved
an unfortunate combination. I gave,
however, little thought to it, supposing it
would wear of in a few hours, and the
first flush of sunlight saw me speeding
tint on the splendid road that leads to.
ward Napanee.
"Night overtook me at a little village
near Port Hope, but found me still lame.
I rested the next day, and the next, bat
it was too late ; the mischief was done.
I rode a good many miles during the rest
of the season, but never a day and seldom
a mile without pain.
"The Winter came and I put away my
wheel, saying "now Iehall get well," but
to my disappointment I grew worse.
Some days my knees almost forbade
walking and my ankles would not permit
me to wear shoes. Al times I suffered
severe pain, so severe as to make study
a practical impossibility, yet it must be
understood that I concealed the condi•
tion of affairs se far as possible.
Prom being local the trouble began to
spread slightly and my anxiety increased.
I consulted two physicians and followed
their excellent advice, but without re.
suit So the Winter wised. One day
iu March I happened to take iu my hand
a newspaper in which a good deal of
apace 30)45 taken by an article in relation'
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did not
at that time know what they were sup.
posed to cure. I should have paid no
attention to the article lied I not oeught
the name of a lady whom I know. Read.
ing, I found that she had been greatly
benefitted by the use of Pink Pills, and
knowing her as I did I had no doubt of
the truth of the statement that she had
authorized.
The first box was not gone before I saw
a change, and the third bad not been fin-
ished before all signs of my rheomatio
troubles wore gone to stay.
"1 say "gone to stay," for though there
has been every opportunity for a return
of the trouble, I have not felt the first
twinge of it, I have wheeled thousands
of miles and never before with so little
discomfort. I have had some of the
most severe Wets of strength and endur-
ance, and have 001315 tbrough them with.
out an ache. Per example, one after.
noon I rode seventy miles, preached that
night and made fifty miles of the hardest
kind of road before noon the next day,
Another instance was a "Century run,"
the last forty miles of which were made
in it downpour of rain through mud and
slush.
"You should thiole I would recommend
them to others ? Well, I have, and have
had the pleasure of geeing very good re.
sults in a number of instances, Yes, I
should feel that I wag neglecting a duty
if I failed to anggest Pink Pills to any
friend whom I know to bo suffering from
rheumatism.
No, tbat'is not the only disease they
