NIXON STURDY, Clerk of Goderich Township. August 1_th, 1896. BENT NEARLY RLY DOUBLIL. THE STORY OFA WELL KNOWN ll)SLIiI MAN. TORTURED WITH RHEUMATISM FOR NEARLY 'TWENTY YEARS—SPENT LARGE BUMS IN A VAIN BEARUH FOR RENEWED HEALTH—HOW HE AT LAST FOUND IT. From the Delhi Reporter. There are very few troubles more wide spread and none more difficult to eradicate from the systeln than rheumatism. The sufferer is racked with pains that seen unbearable, and frequently feels that even death itself would be a relief. Among those who have found much of their lives made miserable by this dread trouble is Mr. Michael Schott, of Delhi, and having found a means of release from its agonies he is anxious that other suffer- ers should profit by his experience. Mr•.Schott is in the employ of Mes- srs.'Quance Bros., millers, and has a reputation fur sterling integrity among all who know him. When one of the staff of ahe Reporter interviewed him, Mr. Schott gave the facts of his illness and recovery as follows :--lie had been a sufferer frotrt rheumatism since about eighteen years of age. At times he was confined, to bed but obtained no rest day nor night from the excru- ciating pains he was undergoing. Again he was able to go about and follow his employment, but even then frequently walked about in an almost doubled up condition. Then again he would have another relapse, and would be forced to take to his bed. During all these years he was almost continually doc- toring, but never obtained. anything more than tetnporary relief for the large sums he expended in this way. Having failed to obtain relief at, house he went to Sinrcoe for treatment but received nopermanentbeneflt and soon aftercoming horse was as had asever. It will he readily understood that he was seriously discouraged, and had come to look upon his case as hopeless. Finally he was urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after hesitating at spending any more money, in what he now considered a vain pursuit of health, he at last consented to give them a trial. By the time he had used a halt dozen boxes there was no longerttny doubt in his mind that he was steadily improving and the treatment was then' gladly continued. When he had taken a dozen boxes he found himself entirely recovered, entirely free from pain and from all stiffness of joints, and he is now able to do as hard a days work as any man in the village He has now been free from his old enemy for so long a period that he feels his cure is permanent, and is consequently an enthusiastic admirer of Dr. Williams' wonderful Pink Pills, and urges all who are similarly suffering to give them a trial, feeling confident that they will prove quite as effica- cious as they did in his case. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, loc- omotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treatment. They arealso a specific -for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speed- ily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.

He was trying to swim from the shore to a breakwater about half way out in the south peer, but becatne tired out, and before assistance could he rendered him was drowned.

CongRests for *loot'Science A BAD HEART — CHRON1G CATARRH - VANI8 1 AT THE TOUCH OF DR. AGNEW'S WONDERFUL OUItE$. Nervous debility is a common com- plaint, especially among women. The best medical treatment, for this disorder is a persistent course of Ayer's Sarsap- arilla to cleanse and invigorate the blood. This being accomplished nature will do the rest. "I tried Dr. Agnew's Cure foe, the Heart and obtained immediate relief. I have taken four bottles and uow am enth•ely free from every symptom of heart trouble, tend I hope that this statement may induce others troubled as I was to give this most valuable remedy a tub 1," writes Thomas Pete y, ot Aylmer, Que. You can readily verify any testimonial quoted in commending this wonderful dis- covery of modern medical sci- ence. Thousands have tested its curative qualites after having "doctor- ed" for years, and were pronounced hopeless cases. If as a last resort it has proved such a boon, what sufferings weld be spared if, when the slightest uneasiness at the heart is experienced, Dr. Agnew's Heart Cure were tried. CATTARH--"1 should not feel that I was doing my du ,' did 1 not r•ecoinmend Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder to every one," writes George Lewis, Shamokin, Pa., and think that an average of 80 to 90 in every hund- red whose eyes will meet this is to a lesser or greater degree affected by this -insidious disease. There is only one safe, sure and harm- less cure—Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder. No case so slight that you can afford to neglect to use the remedy. No case so acute or deep seated that it will not relieve and ab- solutely cure; no catarrh remedy has worked such marvellous cures; no remedy has had so much good said of it, and no remedy has the high en- dorsation of the medical profession it enjoys, and your case is not hopeless while Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Cure is to be had.

"Canst thou minister to a mind dis- eased?" asks Macbeth.

The Traitor Caught. Editor News -Record. SIR,—I notice in last week's edition of the Seaforth Sun a reply to the well- earned castigation administered by THE NEWS -RECORD for his traitorous conduct in slandering and vilifying the Conservative party, The Seaforth Sun was supposed to be a true admirer of Conservative principles and Conserva- tive leaders, but one would now infer that he was there' only for "filthy lucre." Having secured a position un- der Conservative rule, no doubt he thinks, to maintain it, he must flop, or come under Israel Tarte's guillotine, and lose his head. The Reform party is now areat rendezvous for renegade Tories and disappointed office -seekers. It is somewhat inconsistent on the part of the Seaforth Sun to one week slan- der and heap a tirade of abuse on the Conservative leaders and then boast in the following edition "that he enjoys the confidence of his leaders." Now, Mr. Son, you are either under Mr. Laurier's leadership or you are a miser- able, cowardly poltroon to abuse the confidence which you say is reposed in you by the Conservative leaders by nt. tering such baseless, malicious, lying, dirty insinuations against one of Can- ada's foremost and brightest sons, whose character is above reproach. Your statement that Clinton gave over a hundred Grit majority against Mr. Weismiller is false—and when you see it in the. Sun "it's not so." The hope of the Conservative party is that such betrayers of your calibre, Mr. Sun,may soon find themselves scarce in the ranks of the Conservative party and I trust the self -weeding process may continue.

One evening recently, some of the road- sters went into Itderton, and by means of a store room window, secured an entrance to the post office and general store kept by Mr. J. H. McRae. They opened the, safe with little difficulty, and helped themselves to $3 in coppers. Fortunately the thieves overlooked a roll of stamps valued at $50. Nothing else was disturbed, and the visitors departed, leaving the front door of the shop open behind them. On the semi evening tramps broke into the resi- dence of Mr. W. P. Charlton, on the 18th concession of London rownship, but they didn't seetlr'e any booty. A barking dog awoke Mr. Oharltor, who frightened his -unwelcome visitors away. .EL,EGTIIICiTY t.IKEQANNEt PEA$ the Subtle Fluid Now Peddled Prat; Door tp Door in New York. "Do you want any electricity Malay, ma'am?" This Ie a question put to many New Yirr'kere nowadays; and when the reply is in the affirmative the amount asked tor Is at once sup., plied from wagons, much as milk Ip delivered. Not tfiai it le dipped out of largo forty quart cans with a measure, nor does it come in quart bottles labeled "no adulteration," but it f9 put up in butteries of assorted sizes, from some as email as oigarette boxes to others as large as soda water fountain cylind- ers. The trade In oanned electricity is booming, the venders say, and the elactrte1ty wagons will soon De as com- mon a sight as the milk wagons. Un- like milk, though, it cannot be water- ed, muoh to the satisfaction of the consumers, who nevertheless, still manage to find enough to kick about, The business of peddling electricity, has thriven so rapidly that already 'hundreds of business houses and private residences are furnished daily with sufftotent motive power to meet their various requirements. The need of electricity Is manifold. The proprietors of many hotels, thea- tres, and even the superintendents of public buildings find It much cheaper, though perhaps a little more bother) some, to use this canner lightning rather than to maintain an extensive electric plant. For the same reasons owners of private residences purchase the needful supply from the itinerant vendor; and so great has the business grown that the shrewd dealer who first thought a Reddling power In Oils manner now has eighteen routes which he supplies from as many wagons. Each morning ,the eighteen wagons are loaded with their stores and start out on their various ways. At each place of delivery the driver grasps a can containing the amount required and deposits it on the stoop or In the area -way, where he finds an empty jar the contents of which were used the day before; - this he throws into the wagon and drives on to the next customer. Like the butcher, the baker and can- dlestick maker, the electric man is sub- jected to all kinds of lectures for his remissness in delivery of goods—a re- missness which is nearly always im- aginary on the part of his patrons. Some women who buy each day about a one -sixteenth horse -power can full of the electric fluid with which to work their sewing machines or rock their babies to sleep, frequently complain that yesterday's supply was not as much as that of the day before, for gettingthat they sewed longer year terday, or that their darlings were more than usually cross and wakeful, and required more rocking according- ly. Women do not seem to' realize that electricity like everytlhtng else has a limit, and that they cannot make four hours' worth, of electricity do for eight hours. The smaller batteries are generally purchased by those in charge of in- stitutions, others require a- battery that Is easily transportable. Orders for sizes that can be carried in the vest pocket are frequently received. and are often used by' vaudeville perform- A Refreshing Summer Drink. Having found a drink for summer days that seems to meet all wants and tastes—healthful, easily made and inexpensive, we give the rule in the very words it was given us by a thrift) New England housekeeper; and to aid in fixing it in the memory, without pencil, she geld: "It is Just two threes and three twos." So given, it Is easily remembered. The two- threes were three gallons of cold water and three pounds of granulated sugar, put into a large stone Jar together. The three twos were two large spoonfuls of tae. taric acid, two large spnfuls of ground ginger and two laige spoonFuis of essence of wintergreen. Mix these last three ingredients well together. make into a paste with a Iittle water and stir into the "two threes," ad ding one cake of compressed yeast, or a scanty cup of the home-made arti- cle.

Largest and Smallest Books. Near the city of Mandalay, Bur- mah, is to be found the largest book to the world, the famous Huta Daw. It consists of 729 parts, in the shape of white marble plates. Each plate Is protected by a temple at bricks. This enormous volume is written in Pali and contains 276,260 etanzae. These stanzas form the religious cone of the Buddhists. The Kuth Daw is not an ancient pro^ auction. Buddhistic piety prompted its preparation in this century. It was nm,ade by command of Mlndomt,n, one of the last kings of Burmah. In marked contrast with the Kuth Daw Is aKonvertible Lexioon publishes in Berlin, which Is the smallest book in the world.

Profes- sional men also find various uses for them In their omces, and there are Fix wagons catering exclusively to lawyers, doctors. dentlats and the like. Dentists connect these portable bat- teries with small motors which fur- nish the motive power for machines Used in cleaning and for drilling holes in the molars of their patrons. They are also used by dentists for generat- ing the small lights used in examining teeth. Surgeons use small batteries which they carry about in their cases of surgical instruments to aid them in performing delicate operations„ But no class of persons use this de- vice more, or are more dependent on it, than bicyclists. Many -a rider has been saved from a possible night's se- journ in a station house when his light has suddenly gone out by coming across a bicycle store where batteries for wheels are kept in stock. These bicycle batteries are generally charged with electricity sufficient to generate a bright light for a period of twelve hours. and nearly every bicycle store now keeps a large supply of small bat- teries in stock. The electric storage battery is now used in so many ways that It Is no easy task to enumerate them. The bat- teries are rented at prices low enough to place them within reach of near- ly all classes A sensation was caus- ed a few years ago bet the discovery ot an arrangement in a coachman's high hat at the Sheephead's Bay race track by means of which the owner of the turnout, a middle-aged man and a handsome, dashing young woman were enabled day after day to send news of the races outside the grounds at a time when the track management were doing all In their power to keep the result of the race from being known in the city pool rooms. It was this discovery which opened the eye, of at least one man to the possible urea to which electricity may be put, and now he is reaping a harvest of money by peddling the result of his Idea in the form o2 canned electricity.
