A young man engaged a horse from
Beattie Bros., Wingham, one morning
last week to go to Wroxeter. Failing
to return that night they made en-
quires at Wroxeter and found that after
taking dinner at the hotel, he had left
for Brussels whet e he had his supper.

whither he had gone in the hope of re-
cruiting his failing health. The re-

tions of sorrow.
There died in McKillop ou Saturday,
June 20th, Annie Ooskery, relict of the
late George Dorrance, aged 66 years
and 2 mouths. The death of Mrs.
Dorrance, although a painful stroke to
her family and immediate friends, was
not altogether unlooked for, as during
the past couple of weeks she had been
in such a low state that on more than
one occasion her life had been despair-
ed of. At an early age in life shesuffer-
a par ticularly sad affliction in the total
loss of the,>light of both eyes. She leaves

very large concourse of friends and
neighbors.

cattle were pasturing, a quantity of
parts green mixed with salt. A num-
ber of the cattle In the fleld partook of
the poison and seven head died soon
after, and several others are sick and
are net expected to recover. It is a
most heartless atld dastardly outrage,
and any one who would be guilty of
such an outrage, would not hesitate to
take human life. It is hoped that the
guilty ones will be discovered and fitt-
ingly punished. Much sympathy is
felt for Mr. Miller under the circum-
stances.

AN OPERATION AVOIDED.
A SMITH'S FALLS CASE OF GREAT
IMPOIRTANCE.
ERYSIPELAS IN THE FACE DEVELOPES
INTO A RUNNING SORE -DO. TORS
DECLARED THAT ONLY AN OPERATION
COULD BRING RELIEF -A MEDI-
CINE FOUND WH1CH MADE THE PAIN,'

From the Smith's
i Falls Record.
A famous German medical scientist
once remarked that the world is full of
men and women who are sick because
of their scepticism. The wisdom of this
remark was never more self-evident
than it is to -day. There are countless
scores of sufferers who would rather
suffer than use any medicine not pre-
scribed by their favorite doctor. To
these people, perhaps, the story of Mr.
Thos. E. Phillips, of Smith's Falls, may
convey a moral. The following is the
story as given by Mr. Phillips to a
Record reporter: -"Several years ago
I began to flail in weight, lost my
appetite and erysipelvs started in my
face, and then a running sore broke
out on my cheek. I consulted three
physicians and they all said it would he
necessary to remove a portion of the
bone. All this time I was unable to do
any work and was suffering intense
mental and physical agony when I
chanced to rend in the Record about
Dr. William's Pink Pills and resolved
to try them, thinking they would do
me no harm anyway. I bad not used
one box when I felt they were helping
me. I continued and after taking eight
poxes the running sore on rriy cheek
completely healed and the opera-
tion the doctors said was necess-
ary was avoided. I regained my
weight and am once more possessing
a good appetite. In fact I was made a
new man so remarkable was the
change. We now consider Pink Pills
a household necessity." Mr. Phillips
was a respectable and well-to-do farm-
er of Wolford township until last
spring when he sold his farm and is
now living a retired life in Smith's
Falls. He is about fifty years of age
though looking younger, and a liv-
ing witness of the wonderful cur-
ative properties contained in Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. This great
medical discovery has reached the
high position which it holds through
the power of its own nrerite. By its
timely use the weak are made strong ;
pale wan cheeks are given a rosy hue ;
lost vigor is renewed and the suffering
ones are released from pain. If your
dealer does not keep Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, they will he sent by mail
on receipt of fifty cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50, by addressing the
company at Brockville, Ont., or
Schenectady, N. Y. Remember t.hatier

medic nes fail and do not he persuaded
