Wednesday morning; December 30th, 1896, a black -covered carriage, drawn by a team of gray horses, driven by Mr. Wm. 1)ixon, pulled up at the door of his father's house, 356 King street, London, Ontario,af- ter a journey of 1,500 miles. With Mr. Dixon were his wife and two children. a girl of 11 and. a hoy of 7. - Mr. Dixon comes of a hardy race. He is -46 years of age, tall, thin and just becom- e laid the golden eggs, and he resolved to re- turn to the Forest City, and help make the last years of his parents' life as happy as possible. His father is 91 years old, and his mother well on' in the eighties. Both enjoy fairly good health. Mr. Dixon sold his farm and stock, and departed. from Dash, Dakota, on his way to London. the -city he loved, and which he lase saW sven yeara ago. He left Dash on the morning of October 13th, and arriv1 at London, • Ontario, at 3 o'cbocl on Wednesday morning, December 30tie He says the weather was fine, and the ii bracing, when he left the country seat, but as the time went on the cold in- creased. After crossing through Fargo, and entering Moorehead, Minnesota, Mr. Dixon left a blizzard behind, and encountered fif- teen inches of snow, through which his pro- gress was slow. The conveyance in which the family traveled was as warm as anything of its kind could be. It was a black cover- ed buggy, and fixed up in the beet possible way. Said Mr. Dixon: -"No matter how` good the covering, it failed to keep out the frost that registered 40 below zero on some of the nights. The cold and the snow, followed by three days of rain, delayed the party's arrival here about three weeks. The party camped it night, and traveled by day- light. Mr. Dixon's team were cared for equally as well as his fatally. A tent was erected every night for his horses, when no other stabling was available, and fed on the beat of feed; Daring the trip the animals consumed over 70 bushels of oats, and were shod twice. Mr. Dixon left his western home with no thought of future harm. He is not of a nervous disposition, and what would fright- en him would probably kill an ordinary man. Many nights on the.idismal plains, the hoarse cry of the bovvardly coyote was heard on all sides, wbile at others the hideous howl of the large tiniber wolves murdered sleep. Mr. Dixon heard Many stories of the lamentable and untimely end that had met many a traveler, who was compelled to pass through the swamp about 1.50 miles west of St. Paul. He was told. how three brutal murders had taken place, and he smiled ,as he remarked, "Well, it Would be a pretty good place to do the like." Mr. Dixon said his main object in taking the trip in the way he did was simply to show his children the world. He opened their eyes, he says, in Chicago. He tray - tilled through the centre of the city for a day and a half. On his way here he passed through Grand Foeks and Fargo, Dakota; Moorehead, Borndsville, St. Cloud, Minne- apolis, St. Paul, Madison, Chicago, Port Huron and Sarnia. During his trip, Mr. Dixon dealt mostly with farmers, whom he found. most generous and hospitable. The whole party enjoyed the best of •health during the Journey, and were not molested by either man or bead. Mr. Dixon came the 1,500 miles through lonely forests and dismal swamps, without even as much as a firearm. Hie brOther, James, accompanied Mr. Dixon asefar as St. Paul, and then took the train to London.' • WOMEN HESITATE TO TALK 'FOR PUBLICATION. BUT IT IS NOT A DISGRACE TO BE • SICK. YET SOME SUFFER IN SILENCE AND WILL NOT EVEN SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT TO THEIR. raesicren—A FOOLISH MODESTY. ' EfEALTII AND STRENGTH CAN BE RESTORED. r Not the least among the many valuable services Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have ren- dered to suffering women, is that of tiding them over the critical period commencing at middle age, commonly known as the change of life. It so often happens that at this climacteric women relapse into a stage of chronic invalidism, and the actual danger tO life which attends the change is so great that a medicine that can be relied upon to catty the system over this dangerous time,is nething less than a life-saving invention. hat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do for w men at this change of life is shown in a c e reported in the Dewsbury, (Hag.) C roniele. It is that of Mrs. Benjamin Sinith, who lives at Hanover street, Dews - b re, The change of life had left her weak and miserable, with constant pains, dizzi- ness and shortness of breath on the slightest exertion; together with chronic, rh,eurnatiem in the head and eyes. The pain in her head was too acute for words. She got no sleep either by day or night, and her agony was at times so great that it took two people to hold her in, bed. A akilful doctor was called in but did no good. "My cheeks would swell AS big as saucers," said Mrs. Smith, "my eyes were* as red as fire and there was no getting rid of the pains in the head. I suffered also from a sluggish liver and weak heart, and at times my eyesight was so bad that objects befoie me seemed but dim shadows, and there was none of my friends who looked for my restoration to health. I saw an account.in a newspaper of a cure similar to mine through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and my husband urged me to try them. Before two boxes were used the pains began to disappear as if by magic, and the continued use of the pills for a little more than a month, has left me enjoying as good health as ever I had in my life. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a 'blessing, and as I know there are thousands of women who suffer in silence from troubles having the same origin as mine, 1• am, grateful enough for what they have done for me to tell my story in the hope that some suffering sister may be similarly helped, and you have full permission to publish what I have told you, Which statements can be verified by any of my neighbors." cided Me to try them. I got some of the - pills, and after 1 bad taken a few boxes I had no more headaches for several Months. This summer my head began to havea heavy feeling, and at times I was quite drowsy, bile no pains accompanied it. I now have more pith and though I've taken only a few I feel well again. I don't think any person could *tend it a great while to he troubled as I was and stand the amount of pain; I know that Pink Pills are a good medicine and fully what they are represented to be. I have recommended them to some of my friends with beneficial results. Oh, my, yea! They have done wonders tor me. I do all my own housework on the farm. We have a dairy of twelve cows, and often when the boys are very busy getting in the crops I have milked all the cows alone."'" Mei. J. H. McMillan, South Finch, On- tario, says "For seven years I was afflict- ed with what is generally termed female weakness, and was for weeks unable to leave my bed. At times my friends all thought that I was going into decline and had con- sumption. My complexion was Bellew, my appetite was almost gone, and I was terribly e.rnaciated, my head gave me great trouble, and at times the pain was so great that 1 feared it would affect my reason. I had tried many medicines without avail, and began to despair of recovery when I was was urged. to try, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The result has been marvelous. From a sickly, despairing woman, I have been transformed into one. full of health and en- ergy, and I feel more thankful than I can .say for the wonders Pink Pills have done for me." Mrs. L. Lundahl, Levant, Ontario, says: "I have much pleasure in adding my testi- nanny to the great efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills: Some years ago I was severely injured in child birth and had to go to the Kingston hospital to be operated on. I was in the hospitar and under treatment for nearly two months, but flowing set in and all the skill of the doctors was unable to stop it. I went home and after still suffer- ing for three or four month; I determined to go to the hospital again, but fortunately for me an old lady on the cars, who noticed my emaciated and worn condition asked; "What ails you, my child?" I told her my trouble and she replied, Before going to the hospital again give Dr. Williams' ' Pink Pills a fair trial. 1 knove. they will help you." I followed her advice, and after taking four boxes :the flowing absolutely stopped. I took the pills for some time lenger and my health was fully restored; and since then I have been both strong and ac- tive. I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a blessing to women." Mrs. Frank Murray, who resides near Ogdensburg, N. Y., says, "1 am 46 years of age and for many years resided near Pres- cott, Ontario. We moved over here some time ago and have worked this farm since. My husband is working in Ogdensburg at his trade, that of a atone mason, while my children and myself carry on the farm.

Fitchell writes: I take this opportunity of thanking you for the great benefit I have received from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in that critical period known as the change of life. I had suffered for years from kidney troubles, and this I suppose was the commencement of the change. Then I was attacked with spells of dizziness and weakness, accompanied with pains in the back, which would last for weeks -at a time, and from which I would not get more then an hour or two's sleep at night. A friend who had successfully used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a similar emergency urged me to try them.' The result was that they brought me safely through this critical period, and I 'am again enjoying perfett health, and take pleasure in recommending Pink Pills to those similarly situated." —Rev. David Forbes, missionary at Pop- lar Dale, Algona, writes: "I feel that I would be remiss in my duty did I not write to let you know the wonderful benefit de • rived by a young lady here from the use of your Pink Pills. Miss Mary Martin, the young lady referred to, was taken' sick two years age, and all the medical treatment she underwent proved of no avail. Visiting, the family in my capacity as missionary, I saw with sorrow that unless something was done to avert the progress of her troubleoshe would not be long for this world. She wits pale, almost bloodless, and subject to all the distressing symptoms which accompany anaimia and aring the victim to an early grave. I urged the parents to try. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They acted upon my ad- vice, and I am rejoiced to ray that they have felly and entirely restored her health, . and in the rosy-eheeked girl of to -day yon would not recognize the invalid of a short time before. The words of her grateful mother to me were these: We have to thank you, Mr. Forbes, for recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They have saved our -daughter's life and we are more grateful' than we Can say, and freely give you per- mission to send this testimonial, in the hope that some one in similar circumstances may be benefitted." • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic medi- cine, enriching the blood and strengthening the nerves, thin reaching the root of dis- ease and driving it frora the system. They are beyond doubt the greatest medicine of the 19th century, and have cured in hun- dreds of cases after all other medicines had failed. The great popularity of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills h,as caused unscrupulous dealers to imitate them extenrively, and in- tending buyers are urged to see that every box is enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full registered trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Pills colored pink, but sold in loose form by the dozen, hundred or ounce, or taken from glass jars, are fraudulent imitations and should al- ways be refused, no matter how plausible may be the story of the interesting dealer., offering them. —Mr. Wm.

But the river Was soon greatly enlarged. The land was Ail- ing to the north of Ontario as well, and ultimately the outlet from Lake Huron to the Ottawa Valley was blocked, and the surplus waters of the three greatest lakes Sewed by their present course to Lake Erie and thence to thp Niagara River. iith the continued rise of the land, especially toward the east of On- tario,the water level rose until it attained its present elevation, and the fall of the riser .between the two lakes was reduced to the present 360 feet. Gen dates be as- signed to these nvents? The first esti- mate of the age of Niagara River was Riven by Ellicott over a century ago at 55,400 years; Blakewell, in 1830, gave 12,000; Lindh estimate • of 35,000 was accepted for many years after 1841, but' reams Waiters, using the mean rates of retlettelon during fortyreight years -as determined by surveys, mekii the value 9,000' Year& Dr. Spencer has made ar. new and careful computation of theage of Niagara River and falls. He shows that the recent estimates have not taken into aectount the various changes that have occurred in the fall and volume of the rivet His result in a value tumefy- that of Lyell's. - • Dr. Spencer !Believes the Niagara River was formed 32,000 years,- ago, and that 1,000 yeara, later the falls were in ex- istence. For 17,200 years theit height was about 200 feet; thereafter the water fell 420 feet. Seven thousand eight hundred mos ago the drainage of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron first flowed through the Niagara gorge, and, 3,000 years ago = the waters rose in Lake Ontario until tbe level reached that of to -day. The fells, then, aro 31,000 years old. The estimate. calculated from the rate of erosion, is confirmed by abother naade from the terreetrial movements. Two deductions m y be given—one as to the past, the other uoneeroing the future. The lakes came into existence after the glacial epoch, and Niagara after the lakee, and calculations based on the mean rate of rise of the beaches in the earlier period of the lakes' history show that the 'close of the ice age may safely be placed at 50,000 years ago. As to the future: With the present rate of calculated terrestrial uplift in the Niagara district, and the rate of recession cif the falls continued, or even doubled, before the Ottaraot shall bave reached the Devonian eacarpment at Buffalo, that limestone barrier shall have been retried so high as terturn the waters of the upper lake into the .Miss- issippi drainage by way ef Chicago. An elevation of 6 feet at the outlet of Lake Erie would, bring the rockyfloor of the channel as higb as the Chicago divide, and an elevation of 70 feet would com- pletely divert the drainage.

Happy Happenings in the Historic lHamet . ,,, — . lleir.'John GainIA, jr., the well-known and popular son of John Gamble, Esq., proprietor of the Tod- morden Hotel during the peat four years, gives tbe following account rf his rescue trona heart and nerve trouble, through the use of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pill°. Speaking to cur reporter, Mr. Gamble said : " Some three months ago I began to feel very poorly ; in fact I felt as if I was moving around in a dream. This condition I wrongfully at- tributed to biliousness, for I became very weak and seemed to have no staying power •, I also . became ' very nervous and would jump or start at the slightest Sound. The feeling was one of constant dread. I expected some- thing dreadful to happen, I knew not what. Again I was dizzy, my memory failed me very often, and as a matter of fact my whole system was out of order. Our druggist, Mr. H. W. Love, 13orner Broadview and Danforth avenues, recommended Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pilla some three weeks ago, and I have taken them according to directions. From the very first I began to improve, and am now surprised at the change in my condition. I am 'very much stronger; my nerves are steady. and my memory bright. I no Ion or suffer with that morbid feeling i of dread. The ills have proved ertainly, in my ease, a retna,ekab e remedy for weak nerves and re- duced physical strength. I cannot too highly recom- mend them to all who suffer from any or all of the symptoms which I have.mentioned th you, and must return, my thanks to the manufaotuf ere -of these pills for placing . uch an excellent medicine before the public." _ ,. , (Sgd.)
