Is better than cure.
Build up the system. Aid it in
its endeavors to resist disease.
For this purpose and especially at
this time of year nothing is bettor
than Cod Liver Oil combined
with the hypophosphites in a
palatable emulsiou, pleasant
enough for a child to take, it is
more easily assimilated by the
v system than the pure oil. In this
form it is not a medicine only but
it food, a fat forming food, the
kind of food that effectually aide
the system in resisting and throw-
ing off attacks of coughs, colds and
kindred diseases. Such an emul-
Sion we have, one the can recom-
mend, for 40o and 75c a bottle.

GOR OVER TWENTY YEARS MR. JOHN
SHERMAN BOUGHT RELEASE .FROM
TRIC TORTURES of INFLAMMATORY
It H E ITMATISDI.
From the Prescott Journal.
There is no marl in the township of
Edwardsburg who is better known
than Mr. Joan Sherman. He is one of
the 11111Dy Canadians who at°the out-
break of the American rebellion, joined
the army of the North, and to the ex-
posures and hardships which he en-
dured during that tryin and perilous
tittle, does tae owe to long years of suf.
fering which he has since unilLmane.
The writer remembers seeing Mr.
Sherman a few days ago when he was
so crippled with rheumatism that it
was impossible for him to walk, and
having heard that a cure had been
effected, determined to investigate the
matter for himself. When the report-
er called at Mr. Sherman's horse he
found him in the yard handling an axe
and chopping wood like a young, man,
and he found him also quite willing to
relate his trying experience. "1 have
suffered with rheumatism for twenty
yerns," said Mr. Sherman, "and I
have doctored with four different
doctors and yet I kept getting worse
and worse. I was bent double vgith
the pain in my back and both legs
were so drawn up that I was unable to
straighten tbem, and for four months
When I wanted to move about I had to
do so on my bands and knees. I tried
many medicines but got no benefit and
I had given up all hope of being able
to walk again. One of my sons tried
to pursuaae me to use Dr. Will]lams'
Pink Pills, but I refused to take any
more medicine. At last one day my
son brought home three boxes of the
pills, and after they had been in the
house for over two weeks, I at last
consented to take them, but not be-
cause I thought they would do the any
good. Befoi a they were gone, how-
evor, 1 could feel that my back was
getting stronger and I could straighten
up. It required no further persuasion
to get me to take the pills, and from
that time on I began to get better,
until now with. the aid of a light cane,
I can walk till over the farm, get in
and out of a buffy, and do most of the
chores round t e house and barns. I
feel twentyyears younger, and 1 con-
sider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the
most wonderful medicine forrheumat-
isnr in the whole world. I began thein
only to please my son and it was a
most agreeable surprise to me when
I found my legs limber, and my back
Fagaining new strength. I can cheerful-
yrecommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to the suffering rheutuatics of the
world.
An analysis shows that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills contain in a conden-
sed form all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood,
and restore shattered nerves. They
are an unfailing specific for such dis-
eases as locomoter ataxia partial para-
lysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural-
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effects of lit grappe, palpita-
tion of the heart, nervous prostration,
all diseases depending upon vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They tare also
a specific for troubles peculiar to fe-
males, such as suppressions. irregular4-
ties, and all forms of weakness. They
build tip the blood, and restore a glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
In teen they effect :a radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, over-
work, or excesces of whatever nature.
