AFTER SPASMODIC EFFORTS F0111, A CURE USUALLY GIVI4.1 UP. 1 There is One Medicine that has Cured Thousands after Other Medicines had Failed ---A Re- leased Sufferer adds His Strong Endorsation of this Wonderful Renaedy. Trorn the Trenton Courier. What. an innocent sounding name has rheumetistn, and yet how terrible a reality, to thousateds who suffer from it. Doctors agree that rheumatism results from poison of and deposits in the blood, but as to 'justli how they can be reached and eracated, it would seem that their knowledge fails. The usual treatment is a long series of medicines which may give temporary relief, but do not cure, and then the patient usually,gives th inking !there is no medicine that will cure him. This is a Mietake. Rheametism is not a necessary .evil, and because one is growing old it is not imperiteive that one should accept rhetunatism as a natural ac- ,eessery to advanaing years. There is a remedy for rheumatism despite • the general belief that it cannot be cured-' a. remedy that has cured thousands of the most severe caecs. A noted instance of the truth of this assertion which has just Come to theknowledge of the editor of the Goer- ier, is the case of Robert Francis, Esq., formerly of Trenton, now retired from business in Rat Portage, Ont., and still re- -siding there. He .-has • been a victim of , rheumatism for ever three years. Last 'winter he visited his friends in Trenton. and was then contemplating a. visit to the south in search of relief from his constant foe. • Re had to use a staff in walking and went at a slow pace. This Christmas he Wati here again on a visit to his frifrads, smart and erect and without the stick or sorrow- ful look of a year ago. His friends and ac- • quaintaedes aceost him as a new. man and congratulate him on his healthy, fresh and active appearance in coutrast with a year ago. He has cheerfully and gratefully given the following qatement of hi a efforts after a care. "My home is at Rat Portage, Ont., where for years I was engaged in business, and whete I still reaide. For" . three years I have been. a great sufferer from rhettinatie-m. I tried several. highly, recommended remedies to no purpose, and I • coutinued to grow worse until it became ai RI - cult for me to Walk. I was for thirteen weeks contined to my bed atbotne and in the Winnipeg hospital. I was then induced to try the Mount Clement Springs. I took atr coursesef bathe of twenty-one baths each without any seeming beneficial result. I read of several cures in the Conner from Dr. Williams' Pink Pins for Pale People, and friends who used them with benefit to themselves urged me to try them. I- did so and after a short time I felt an imptove- meat tny condition. I have taken twelve boees in all and my improvement has been continuous and satisfactory, 46 that I need the cane uo longer and I have increased -my weight frem 140 pounds to 175 by the use of Pink Pills. I am not entirely free from. -rheumatism but I am a new man, one thou- sand per cent. better than I was a year ago and I attribute my health entirely to Dr. Plnk Pills." ! - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills' strike at the -root of the disease, driving it from the sys- tem and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheum- atism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treat- ment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and mallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain care.

' Bicyclers. When you are riding a bicycle and want • to pass a wagon in front of you, alwa3s look on the other side of you, 'always look on the' other side of the wagon before you spurt ahead. There will often be another - wagon or a car on that side moving in the opposite • direction. The chances are that the horse, wagon pole or car fender will strike you square and knock you and your wheel double. Maybe the collision will kill you. The history of the numerous collisions and accidents to bicyclists, ' many of :them fatal ones, Shows that in a majority of cases the crash Was due to the cycler's not ob- seri, ing what was on the other side of the vehicle or obstructioa he was attem pting to pass. The car or j wagon. close to him hides.from eiew the Other one. If you go ta cross in front of a; vehicle, it is not enough to leave plenty of :•distance between you and it.

The first musical sigae made by Verdi Were 011111101/8. They were in connection with the street organ, and all the world knows what it has subsequently suffered from Verdi being on the street organs. Think of London alone! Also of the late Mr. Babbago, and- Mr. Bass' London street mule bill! An itinerant organ grinder used to COMO betimes to thei Ronriole inn, when little Verdi would run to stand and gaze in wonderment at the :musician and his music, nor would he leave the attrac- tion until _fetched away. One especial favorite with tho child was Baga:eset, a de- crepit violinist, who predicted to the inn- keeper that his son would be a great mu- sician some day. Verdi helped 'this poor fellow in after years, when the prophecy had been amply fulfilled. When Verdi was about 7 years old, his father added a spinnet, or pianoforte, to his worldly possessions. The child had already shown some taste for musio, for, besides the street music episode, the priest at Roncole had kieked him down the altar - steps for paying more attention to the music from the organ than to his duties as acolyte, or server, at mass, a post which his naturally quiet demeanor had obtained for him. No sooner was the piano in the , house than young Verdi went at it with a will until one day, because he could not find some favorite chord upon the key- board, he was discovered in great anger belaboring ho instrument! with :a ham- mer!--Blackwood's Magazine: . •* school for the education of $ a thank offering!. young lady was twice ni me to a brewer.
