Prendergast's Suffer- ing and Restoration—Given up by Doe -- tors and Believed to be laying he Fin- ally Reeovers Perfect Heath. From the Comber Herald. Mr. Wm. Prendergast, of the tewnship of Rochester, a former residenvof this village, is known to almost all in this section, and is warmly esteemed by all hi a acquaintances. It is well known that Mr. Prendergast went through a terrible siege of suffering, and that few of his friends had any hope of his recovery. MT. Prendsrgast's trouble was Chronic enteritis, (intestinal inflam- mation) and what he suffered at times can scarcely be described. Hundreds of dol- lars were spent in medical treatment but without avail. Sedatives, stimulants, tonics and external applications, etc., were successively tried with little or no result. Brief temporary relief might ensue ; it was always very brief when the dread tormentor returned to smite him with fresh agony. In this condition Mr. Prendergast continued until last summer, when the physician frankly told him that his case was incur- able. The news came as a terrible shock to his wife and children. Long before this, after a manful struggle, he had been forced to give up work on his farm, but there had always been hcpes of his recovery to buoy up his family and friends. But the state- ment that his case was considered incurable was like a stroke of impending doom, and his friends constantly dreaded to hear that he was no more. Such was the condition of affairs at the close of last summer and a little. later it was understood that Mr. Prendergast was getting better and on the way to recovery. Lately one of his friends while in the Herald sanctum remarked, " Prendergast is on his feet again and as sound as a bell." Inquiry naturally followed as to what had produced this remarkable result and we were informed that his recovery was solely due to the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The Herald had published the particulars of many remarkable cures of this remedy, and while not by any means sceptical, felt a strong desire to verify s case in our locality, and accordingly drove to Mr. Prender- gast's. On reaching the house it was as- certained that Mr. Prendergast was some distance away in the field mending a fence. Thither the scribe wended his way, meet- ing with cordial welcome and an invitation to come back to the house to dinner. After dinner we urged him - to tell about the re- markable change that had taken place in his condition. At first he was inclined to put us off, saying that he hated to think of the old days of agony and misery. How ever, at last he told us all he had underarm°, his story bearing out what has been said conceruing his condition. After the doctors had given him up, his wife, hoping against hope, had arged him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He scout- ed the idea at first, saying that these things were all humbugs. At last, more to please his wife than anything else, he sent to Com- ber for some of the Pink Pills. He had net taken them many days when he found they were giving him' relief. The pain lessened, his appetite began to return, and so did hope and confidence. He procured another supply and found himself growing daily stronger. He felt that he could walk through the fields without the fear of being ttricken down by a sudden pain. Later he resumed work on his farm and found to his r.mazement that he could do a hard day's work without fatigue. In a word that he had completely recovered. He had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the outset with- out hope of benefit, and merely to please his wife; now he finds them a life boat and an ark of safety. De. ,Williams: Pink Pills for Pale People are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., of Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., a firm of unquestioned reliability. Pink Pills are not looked upon as a patent medicine, but rather a preecrip- tion. An analysis of their properties shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat- tered nerves. They are an unfailing speci- fic for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, gaieties, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effecta.of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration ; all diseases de- pending upon vital humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. As a remedy for building. anew the blood, enabling the system to successfully resist, disease, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills sands far in advance of any other remedy known to medical science. Pink Pills are a specific . for the troubles peculiar to .the female sys- tem, giving a rosy, healthy glow,to pale or sallow complexions. In the of men they effect a. radical cure in all eases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. Dr. Williams' Pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, (printed in red ink). Bear in mind that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer that offera substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoil- ed. .i'he public are also ca,utionerl against other so-called blood builders and' nerve tonics, put up in similar form intended to deceive. They are all imitations whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary advantage from the wonderful reputation achieved' by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. • Ask your dealer cell, for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, • (MATS wizEt E FELoNs, and refuse all imitations) and substitutes. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or 'direct by mail from Dr. Will- iams' Medicine Company from either ad- dress at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 84- 50. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other reme- dies or medical treatment. Re Decries a Thankless World And De- nounces the Barometer and Weather Bureau. Some New Theories—Squaring the Circle. Professor Wiggins was interviewed by a correspondent the other day as to why he retired from predicting storms, cyclones, earthquakes, etc. He said he did so for several reasons. He could not afford to pursue the subject further, there being no financial reward. He had spent all lite spare time during the past fifteen years in studying the relation of the planets to at- mospheric phenomena on the earth. The press bas persisted in its refusal to :acknowl- edge his predictions as based on science by their attacks upon him and sarcasm, in the face of the clearest fulfiiment of his predic- tions. This was also shown in its continu- ally dubbing him as a " weather prophet," as if he made his weather and seismic warn- ings by consulting a mysterious oracle, when, as is well ktown, he has a horror of superstition or belief in anything incapable of scientific proof. Asked if he believed in the great cataclysms recorded in Genesis, like the flood and the fall of man, he said yes,because they can be proved by memin- ology, a new science he has discovered and is about to publish. He pronounced the barometer the greatest scientific fraud of the century and contends that it constantly delays ships by failing when there is no storm approaching, and not falling when a storm is at band, and thus causes shipwrecks. He says since he began his weather predictions till last year when he ceased making them, the loss of shipping both in America and in Europe decreased twentyper cent., but will increase on his retirement, for no one living except himaeli can predict the coming of a great storm , and all a weather bureau ca,n. do is to telegraph ahead of it. His scienti- fic discoveries are the new theory of the solar system, making the sun an electric' body which hurls the comets through space by its positive and negative forces, first pub- lished in his architecture of the heavens in 1964, and it is nova accepted by astroro-iners -that there is no light in space but only in, the atmosphere of the planets ; that the. nearer a planet is to the sun the. lower its temperature, as witness the snow -caps -oh the poles of ars compared with_theseTsonl. the earth ; that the earth posthites ariecorisr. but dark satellite whielanclipsed the sun, May 16, 1884, which was witnessed. at the: - same moment by persons living in,Miehigair: and British Columbia that there Usteit gulf strewn in the atmosphere over North America, constantly running eastward and: which would always Canes weep winds but for the transverse surface currents beneath it; that telegraph wires cause drought and that the atmosphere -cannot absorb moisture unless charged wit'h elaetriCity, because there would be no farce to prevent the aqueous' particles enclosed from forming drops and. beingpreeipitated.

Learning from a hand- bill that :this amiable Briton had assisted at MO executions,, and* lila -hanged 193, people with -his own hands', the writer took the place of the timid yet curious citizen and paid the:penitent finisher of the law a visit on the first evening. The reason he gives for his public app is that " his experiences lead him to advocate the abolition of capital punishment:" The en - hangman is about 49 years of age. Mr. Berry, who speaks with a strong Yorkshire intonation, wisely prefaced his remarks ai follows : " The position in which I appear before you requires a little explanation, because it is the first time an executioner ever ap- peared before the public to advocate the abolition of capital punishment." Iu the course of a somewhat discursive and con- versational lecture he ran over in detail many of the seems in connection with re- cent executions in various parts of the United Kingdom, scenes in the condemned A earn on the foot of A.
