Powell, a gentleman who has re - •Elided in London and vioinity for about six years, and who enjoyeetlie esteem of a large Pirele of friends here and elsewhere through- 9lit the Province. Those who know him are denbtlese aware that he has been a suf- ferer ranee his youth from rheumatism in its worst form. His acquaintances in the --city,-who-aremenaber the- long siege of.the •illness he stood a year ago last winter, and Who had come to look upon him as almost T.confirrned invalid, have beedsurprised of late to see the remarkable change for the *better that has taken place. The haggard • /ace and almost crippled form of a year ago ,• have given way to an appearance of robust - mess, vigor and agility that certainly seem • the result of miraculous agenoy. Hearing of this a reporter ealled on Mr Pewell in order to ascertain by what magic mane thistransformation had been wrought The scribe first asked if the reports con• scorning his wonderful restoration to health Were true. "I am thankful to say they are," said Mr Powell. "My case is pretty well known around here." "To what do you owe your reoovery?" Was asked. "I owe it to the use of a certain remedy," he replied; "but I would prefer saying no. thing at present. I have suffered nearly all my life with a malady I had begun to regard as incurable, and the fact that I am perma- nently relieved appears incredible. In coin. mon parlance, it seems too good to last. I avant to be sure that I arn permanently cured before anything is made public, so that when I do give a testimonial it will have some weight. You may call again later on and I will let you know." About two months later the reporter knooked at Mr Powell's door, and was ad- mitted by that gentleman himself. The latter said he was now absolutely convinced of the permanency of his cure, but being a man who did not care for publicity, he had hesitated long before he could make up his • mind to alilow his name to be used. Com- ing from one of his conscientiousness and probity of character, his words cannot fail to have the weight they deserve. "The primary cause of my rheuma- tism," said Mr Powell, "I attribute to a severe thrashing administered to me by a school teacher when I wits_13-or-1 years of age. I received injuries then which subsequently brqught me years of suffering. The first time I really felt any rheumatic trouble was one day when carrying an arm- ful of wood up a flight of stairs in Victoria College, Cobourg, which institution I was attending as a student. This was in 1872. A twinge of pain caught me, bat passed away in an instant. I did not know what it was. Again, when playing footba11,1 ex- perienced a like sensation and that marked the commencement. After that I was ill at various periods, though it was not until 1876 that I began to grow alarmed. I was living then in Toronto, keeping books for my brother, who was in the wholesale tea business, and as I resided on North Pem- brooke street and had to walk to Wellington street every day, I found that my rheuma- tism was getting pretty bad. I did not consult a doctor, but took different pater t ° medicines advertised to cure complaints of my nature. I was not benefitted, however. The rheumatism passed away only to re- turn in the fall and spring. In 1878 I en- gaged in mercantile business in Essex CO', -From that .out-Lwas _at indoor yeerk-but the pain returned at intervals. I suffered • from sciatica in the left leg; it was very acute at times. In taking stock one day it became so severe that I was hardly able to move around. This was the first acute symptom—that is, where the effects re- mained for any length of time, I suffered the most intense pain for days. That was • about the year 1880.1 "For a number of years afterwards I continued to grow worse and worse. In 1281/4-1 went into -the Teal -estate bridal -Sea iii Toronto, and having a good deal of walking to do, I experienced the pain constantly that summer. It was all day and at all times, frequently so bad that I would have to stand on the street, relax the musoles of my left leg and let it swing until the spasm was over. At most, I 3ould walk but three or four blocks and would then have to halt. I consulted medical men and was advised to try electricity. 1 took the treatment •'steadily -for" several -weeks, -getting some.' times two or three charges a day on the hands and feet from an electric battery. But it did me not the slightest good. At last my health became so bad that I decid- ed to quit the real estate businese and enter upon rural life, thinking that the change of air and occupation might have a beneficial effect. Sa I exchanged some pro- perty for the old Dr Woodruff fruit far.n near the city. I worked it one year, but found it was two laborious for my com- plaint, which was fast rendering my life a bnrden. I reluctantly left the farm and came into London three years ago last May. I did some building here, but my malady prevented me from actively engaging in business. "A year ago last winter the first snow fell on December 1; I went out to shovel the snow, and before I got through I was seized with a pain and had to go into the house. For fourteen weeks I never left it. The only way in which I could be moved was by being wheeled around in an easy chair. What I suffered during that period no one but myself can ever realize. I was attended by the best physician in the city of London. Possibly his treatment was not without temporary effect; at any rate I gradually recovered until I was able to be on my feet once more. I decided to try country life again, and went back to my farm last year, but I still found I had it as bad as ever. I was living in dread of having to go through another ordeal, when I read in the papers about this Marshall miracle in Hamilton. I had then as much faith in Pink Pills as had in other patent medicines --and that we.en't very greet. I did not bother with them nor did I think of the matter again until last September. I saw Mr Marshall at the Western Fair and he advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I told him I did not think the remedy claimed to cure rheumatism, and fiat although I had cer- tainly ocular proof that his own was bona fide, my complaint was different of his. Mr Marshall said be could not say whether it would cure rheumatism or not, but the pills were good for the blood anyway, and at leaet it would do me no harm to try half it dozen boxes. I negleoted his advice; it would be useless to try a medicine, I thought. Many of my friends, who had probably read of the remarkable cures ac- complished by Pink Pills, kept urging me to give them a trial. "At last 1 yielded and bought six boxes as a tort of forlera hope. I took bur bexeb and receiVed no benefit that 1 conld nog. *US, birt While taking the fifth 1 noticed that for a period of three Or four ds felt ne Pain.

Then I UMW I was getting better—much better. The pain which had been constant beoame Incermittent and less severe. my friends and family told me that I was beginning to look like another man. My fame, winch had begun to wear a 4rawn expression, common ith people who are suffering, commenced to show a better color. Illy system was be- ing toned up. Inspired with increased hope I purohased six more boxes from Mr Mitch- el , the druggist, and continued to take them, and with each box I realized more and more that it was it cure. I used up thirmen boxes in all,and when the thirteenth was finished I had had not a symptom of pain for three months.' "At that time Mr Mitchell spoke to me about it in the store. I told him what a blessed change had been wrought for me through the use of Pink Pills. He asked me if I would object to giving a testimonial to the firm—Dr WilliameMedicine Co., of Brookville. I said I was not a man who cared for notoriety of any character, and did not relish the idea of having my name published broadoast over the land. That is one of the reasons why I have been so long in making this public. But I am so profoundly grateful for my rescue from a life of pain to one of health and strength that I feel I would be neglecting a duty I owe to suffering humanity if I allowed these scruples to interfere any longer with an avowal of what Dr Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. I discontinued taking Pink Pills the lat of April last. I started again in June and have used six boxes, not beeause I have bad any recurrence of my old complaint, but because I want to thoroughly drive it out of my system. I think the Pills are as good as a tonic." "Now" concluded Mr Powell, "you have my experience. I know what I was; 1 know what I am. I know that from boy- hood I have been a victim of malignant rheumatism, which has been a torture the last few years. I know that I have tried every remedy and been treated by the best medical skill, but in vain; and I know that Pink Pills have succeeded where everything else has failed and that they have brought me back health and happiness. Therefore I ought to be thankful, and I am thankful." And Mr Powell's intense earnestness of manner could admit of no doubt as to his gratitude and sincerity. The reporter shook hands and took his leave. "You may ask Rev Mr McIntyre, of the Askin St. Method• ist church, or Rev, G. A. Andrews, B. A., pastor of the Lambeth circuit, whether I was a sick man or nnt,were-his -parting MY. MR M'INTYRE'S TESTIMONY. The reporter dropped in on Rev- C. E. McIntyre at the parsonage, 82 Askin street. "I know Mr Powell well," said the rever- end gentleman when questioned. "He was an esteemed paiishoner or mine when he lived on Askin street. He afterwards moved 'into the' country, but has since re. turned and is attending the Askin Street Church again." "Do you remember Mr Powell's illness a year ago last winter?" "Yea; I frequently called on him. He had a very bad attack of rheumatism which laid him up for a long time. He had to be wheeled around the house in a chair." "You notice he has recovered?" "Yes; he appears to be a well man now. I heard he had been cured by Dr William's Pink Pills." "You know Mr Powell to be a thorough- ly honorable gentleman and that if , he says thele Pills cured him, he believes that to be the truth?" , "I do. Mr Powell is, in my opinien, a most conscientious .person,.. and any atate- rnent fie would make would be perfectly reliable." WHAT MR MITCHELL SAYS. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pill are the best selling and most popular medicine in the store," said Mr B. A. Mitchell, the well- known druggist, upon whom the reporter next called. "Do you know of Mr Powell's case?" ask- ed the reporter. Yee, and I consider_it a most remark. able one. I remember that Mr Powell was a great sufferer from rheumatism. He was continually buying medicine of gome sort, but seemed to get no better. Then he commenced to try Pink Pills. I saw he was beginning to look like different man, so I asked him one day about it. He told me that he traced his cure to the nee of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As I have al- ready said, the demand for Pink Pills is something astonishing, and they invari- ably giVe"' the beat satisfactleri: MS, this to be so from the voluntary statements of customers, and if necessary the proprie- tors could get scores of testimonials from people here who have been benefited by the use of Pink Pills. I have sold thousands of boxes, and have no hesitation is recein - mending them ae a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St.Vitus dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipe- las, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over -work or excesses of any nature." Mr Hodgins, the head clerk, corrobora- ted what Mr Mitchell bad said. The sale of Pink Pills was extraordinary and the general verdict was that it was a wonderful medicine. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr William's Medicine Company, Brockville Ont., and Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing our trademark and wrapper, at 50 oents a box, or six boxes for $2,50. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr Wil- liam's Medicine Company from either ad- dresses. The price at which these pills are sold make a course of treatment compar- atively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. Queen Victoria has not worn corsets for many years. Princess Beatrice follows her mother in this respect, and has also discarded the corset. Newark, N. J., has a woman manu- facturer of umbrellas and parasols. She learned the trade because it was her father's business and she liked it better than teaching or sewing. Miss Lottie Young of NorthHanoverMass, rests her claim to fame upon the fact that she drove twenty-three nails in three minutes, and at the finish had teed hands safe and acilind to her crbdit.

If you feel worn out or have "that tired feeling" in the morning, do not be guilty of neglect. Give iminediate attention to yourself. Take Hood's Sar- saparilla to "rive strength, purify the blood and prevent disease. ----- Hood's Pills cure liver ills, jaundice, bil- iousness, sick headache constipation. New Zealand has enacted a suffrage law which allows women to be regis- tered without personal attendance at the polls, which is quite gallant of the New Zealanders. A RAILWAY MANAGER SAYS; "In reply to your question do my child- ren object to taking Scott's Emulsions, I say Nol on the contrary, they are fond of it; it keeps them pictures of health." The priests tell the people in Persia that the cholera plague is the result of alcoholic stimulants, a tale that is help- ing the temperance cause wonderfully. "Handsome is that handsome does," and if Hood's Sarsaparilla doesn't do handsomely then nothing does. Have you ever tried it? In Saxony about 70 per cent, of the workingmen earn less than $150 per year.

It is not often that retributive justice comes so swiftly to a would-be murderer as it did to George Penfield, a miner, whose body was buried at Rose City, Idaho, last week. There are two stories concerning his death. The story regarding his death that is geneeally believed is that two of Pen-field'rpartners-drank-amall-quarrcitiss- of poisoned whiskey, which Penfield had prepared for them, and became sick. As they had long known that Penfield was a bad man, and as he had recently purchased poison, they accused him of having tamper- ed with the liquor. He vehemently denied the charge, but refused to partake of the dottored whiskey. Then his partners drew their revolvers and compelled him to drink. Penfield had a record of having killed seven- -teen men, and he frequently atold-aastory- about following "Mark Twain" all over San Francisco one night during the bonanza days, looking for a chance to "pot" him. He claimed he was crazed with hunger at the time. Mrs. A. A. Williams Lynn, Mass. For the Good of Others Rev. Mr. Williams Heartily En- dorses Hood's Sarsaparilla. We are pleased to present this from Rev. A. A. Williams, of the Sillsbee street Christian Church, Lynn, Mass.: "2 see no reason why a clergyman, more than a layman, who knows whereof he speaks, should hesitate to approve an Article of Merit and worth, from which he or his family have been signally benefited, and whose commenda- tion may serve to extend those benefits to others by increasing their confidence. My wife has for many years been it sufferer from severe Nervous Headache for which she found little help. She has trim? many things that promised well but per- formed little. Last fall a friend gave her a bot- tle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems surpris- ing what simply one bottle could and did do for her. The attacks of headache decreased in number and were less violent in their inten- sity, while her general health has been im- proved. Her appetite hap also been better.
