THE EDITOR'S EXPERIENCE. A SUFFERER FOR SEVERAL YEARS FROM ACUTE DYSPEPSIA. FOO[) DISTRESSED FLIM AND IT BEGAN TO IIAVE A WEAKENING EFFECT ON THE HEART—MANY REMEDIES FAIL- ED BEFOIIE A (TRP WAS FOUND. From the Cause, N. S., Breeze. While newspaper men are called up- on in their capacity as publishers to print from week to week words of praise spoken in favor of pro )rietau y medicines, it is not often that the editor himself feels it los duty to say a good •word on behalf of any of these preparations. And yet if a newspaper. man has actually found benefit from the use of a proprietary medicine, why should he not make It known to his readers, and thus perhaps point out to some of them the toad to renewed health. Tho editor of the Breeze be- lieves it his duty to say a few words of praise in favor of a remedy that has proved an inestimable boon to him, and:to say thein without any solicita- tion on the part of the proprietors of the medicine, who as a matter of fact, had no reason to know that he was ail- ing or was using their medicine. For several years the editor of the Breeze had been subject to that distressing complaint, dyspepsia, and only those who have been similarly troubled can know how nisch misery this trouble entails. He had but very little ap- petite, and what he did eat caused an unpleasant feeling of fullness, and trade hint feel languid and heavy, often causing intense pain in the stomach only relieved by vomiting up the food which he had taken, He was also troubled with ptalpitatiou of the heart, brought on no doubt by the dyspepsia. Numerous remedies alleged to cure dyspepsia were tried, but without suc- cess, and the trouble was approaching a chronic state. At the suggestion of a friend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were ti sed and relief soon followed their use, and after a few boxes had been taken the editor was able to assert positively that he had been cured of his dyspep- sia by this remedy that has proved so great a blessing to mankind. To any one troubled with this complaint he would strongly recommend Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. To newspaper men particularly they will he found just the thing to inpert health and vigor to the whole system and enable then) to pursue their work free from that tired, despondent feeling so prevalent among the craft. The editor of the Breeze firmly irelieves that what they have done for hire they will do for others, and he gives them his hearty and un- solicted endorsation. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an un- failing cure for all troubles resulting from poverty of the blood or shattered nerves, and where given a fair trinl they never fail in cases like thnt above related.

There were also about 1,50) hogs received there last week, which also went mostly east, the hogs for eastern Canada markets and the cattle for England.
