The following paragraph, which a
in the News a short time ago, furnis
basis of this information—a epee tha
wonderfully remarkable that it de
further explanation. It is of su
importance to the News' readers to
it to them fully. It was so importa
that it attracted considerable atten
the time. The following is the pa
in question
.: •
' C. B. Northrop, for 28 years one
best known merchantson Woodward a
who was supposed to be dying last s
locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralys
secueed a new lease of life apd "'return
work at his store. The disease has
been supposed to be incurable, bu
orthrop's condition is greatly imp
it looks now as if the grave wou
ated of its prey."
Since that time Mr. Northro
steadily improved, not only in looks
in condition, till he has regained h
time strength.
It had beeu hinted to the writer 0
article, who was acquainted with
Northrop, that this miraculous ehang
been wrought by a very simple re
called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
People. -When aiiked about it
Northrop fully verified the statemen
not only so, but he had taken pains
inform any one Who was suffering
• aimilar manner when he heard of
such case. Mr. Northrop was en
astic at the result in his own case o
Williains' Pink Pills. It was a re
that he had heard of after he had
everyehing he could hope to give hi
lief. He bad been in the care of
best physicians who did all they cou
alleviate this terrible malady, but wit
any avail. He had given up hope, wh
friend in Lockport, N. Y., wrote him o
case of a person there who had been c
in similar circumstances by Dr. Willi
Pink Pills for Pale People. The pe
cured at Lockport had obtained his info
tion respecting Dr. Williams' Pink
from an article published in the Hami
Ont. TIMES. The case was called "The
Hamilton Miracle" and told the story of a
man in that city who, after almost in:
credible suffering, was pronounced by the
moSt eminent physicians to be incurable
and permanently disabled. He had spent
,hundreds of dollars in all sorts of treatment
and appliances only to be told in the end
that there was no hope for him, and that°
cure was impossible. The , person
alledid to tie,. .3(in • .1;
Little William street, Hamilton, Ont.,) was
a member of the Royal Templars of Tem-
perance, and after having been pronounced
permanently disabled and incurable by the
physicians, was paid the $1,000 disability
insurance provided by the circler for its
members in such cases, for years -Mr. Mar-
shall had been utterly' helpless, and was
barely able to drag himself around his house
with the aid of crutches. His agonies were
almost unbearable and life was a burden to
him, when at last relief came. Some months
after he had been paid the disability claim
he heard of Dr. William's Pink Pills and
was induced to try them. The result was
miraculous; almostfrom the outset an im-
provement was noticed, and in a few months
the man whoin medical experts had aaid was
incurable, was goingab ut this city healthier
and stronger than before. Mr. Marshall
was so well known in Hamilton that all the
city newepapers wrote up his wonderful de
recovery in tail, and it was thus as before
stated, that Mr. Northrop came into
possession of the information that led to
lly marvelous recovery One could
scare conceive a case more hopeless than
that Mr. Northrop. His injury came
abou m'this way : One day nearly four
years ago he stumbled and fell eh() com-
plete length of a steep flight of stairs
which were at the rear of his store. His
head and'spine were severely injured. Ile
was p.cked up and taken to his home.
Creeping paralysis very soon developed itself,
and in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians, the terrible afflic-
tion fastened itself upon him. Frnearly two years he was perfectly helpless.
He could do nothing to support his strength
in the least effort. Ile had to be wheeled
about in an invalid's chair. He was weak,
pale and feat sinking when hie timely infor-
mation came that veritably snatched his
life from the jaivs of death. Those who at
that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into
his store on an invalid's chair would not
recognize the man now, so great is the
change that Di. Williams' Pink Pills
have wrought. When Mr. North ro
learne of the remedy that had cured Mr.
Mare]) in Hamilton and the person
itt Tort he procure,1 a supply
• of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through
Messrs. Bassett & eallamireedieu, 95
Woodward , avenue, and flan' the outset
°rind an iroprovem-ri He faithfully
adhered to the use of t he remedy until now
he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop
declares that there Call be ee doubt as to
• Pink Pills being the cause of hie restoration
to health, as all other remedies and medical
treatment left him in a condition rapidly
going from bad to worse, until at last it
was declared there was no hope for him,
and he was pronounced incurable. He was
in this terrible condition when he began to
use Dr. William's Pink Pille, and they have
restored him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and
replied that he understood the proprietors
claim it to be a blood builder and nerve
restorer, supplying in a condensed form all
the elements necessary to enrich the blood,
restore shattered nerves and drive out dia.

�&$. It is claimed' by the proprietors that
Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism,
sciatica, palpitation of the heart, headache
and all diseases peculiar to females, lees tat
appetite, dizziness, sleepleasnesi, less of
memory, and all diseases &rams from
overwork, mental worry, Ion of vital
force, etc.
"1 want to say," said Mr. Northrop,
.,"thatI don't have much faith in patent
medicines, but I cannot say too much in
praise of Dr. Williange Pink Pille. The
proprietors, however, clann that they ere
not a patent medicine in the sense in which
that'term is used, but a highly scientific
preparation, the remit of years "of careful
study and experiment on the peet of the
proprietors, and the pills were successfully
used in private practice for years before
being placed for 'general sale. Mr. Nor-
throp declares that he hi a living example
that there is nothing to equal these pills
as a cure for nervous diseases. On inquiry
the writer found that these pills
were manufactured by Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co. Brockville, Ont., and
Morristown, N. Y., and the pills are sold
in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred) at
50 cents a box, and may be had of all drug-
gists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams'
Medicine 'Co. from either above addresses.
The price at which these pills are sold
makes a course of treatment, with them
comparatively inexpensive as compared with
other remedies or medical treatment. This
case is oneof the most remarkable on reeerd,
and as it is one Hight here in Pcktroit and
not a thousand miles away, it can be easily
verified: Mr. Northrop is very well-known
to the people Of Detroit, and he says he is
only° too glad to testify of the marvelous
good wrought in his case. He says he con-
siders it his duty to help ail who are simi-
larly riffiieted by any word he ean say in be-
half of the wonderful efficacy of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. If any of the News
readers want any further information, we
feel sure Mr. Northrop would willingly
oblige them, as he has the writer, in relat-
ing these acts to him.
The Influenza Bacillus.
The. Medical Record, in its latest issue,
contains a preliminary report, from Dr. R.
Pfeiffer, of Berlin, of b is discovery of the
influenza bacillus. Jei-ays
In every case of influenza the bacillus is
found. Central experiments demonstrate tha
the bacillus is absent in ordinary bronchial
catarrh, pneumonia and phtisis. The bacillus
disappears with the disappearance of the dis-
ease. The bacillus itself is a small rod about
the thickness of the mouse septieremia bacillus
and but half its length. Very often three or
four are found arranged in chains. * *
The infection is probably caused from the
bacilli in the secretions of the.naso-bronchial
tract, and the prophylactic method would bo to
destroy the bacillus by neutralizing these
secretions.
This is the first authoz•itative statement
made in regard to Dr. Pfeiffer's discovery.
The discovery may prove of great value in
the treatment of influenza. The description
of the newly found bacillus is suggestive,
indicating that iefluenza is a very distinct
infection.—N. Y. Herald. •

Ontario Association of Architects, and the
wend since its incorporation, was held in
Toronto yesterday, the president, Mr.
Storm, in the cbair. Perhaps the most im-
portant achievement in the eyes of practis-

of building stone in use in the province,
which the council have been procuring by
the courtesy and assistance of Prof. Gal-
braith, of the School of Practical science.
The morning was occupied by a most useful
illustrated lecture by _Prof. Galbraith, of the
School of Practical Science. Mr. Galbraith
broke, in the testing machine, many speci-
mens of the building stone used in the
province, and timber of various scantling in
order to test their carrying power_ and ex-

the plants -they control: On -Jan. 20th
the Traction Company mailed it series of
questions to all the leading _electric corn-

number are located in Philadelphia. These
questions do not go into , the cost of the
electric car system at all, but simply are
,directed at the capacity of each company's
plant and the etyle of construction which
it favors. The companies are asked to
specify the various engines that they build,
the scale of the engines' sizes and the
power of each size. They ere 'further to
state the length of time required to build
each engine.
The queetione also refer to the motors
used, their size and capacity, the time re-

Don't Ilse Big Words.
In promulgating esoteric cogitations or
articulating superficial sentimentalities and
philosophical or psychological obaervations,
beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let
your statements possess a clarified concise-
ness, compacted comprehensibleness, coa-
lescent consistency and a concentrated
cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of
flatulent gatrulity, jejune babblement and
assinino affectations. In endeavoring to im-
press upon o.thers the superiority of Garfield
as a location for their permanent residence;
and why you and so many others are
thoroughly satisfied here, it is entirely
unnecessary to use jawbreakers. Let your
extemporaneous descantings and unpre-
meditated expiations have intelligibility and
veracious vivacity, without rhodomontade
or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid
all rinlysyllabic profoundity, psittaceous
vacuity, ventriloqual verbosity and grand-
iloquent vapidity, shun double entendres,
prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity,
obscurent or apparent. iri other words,
talk plainly, naturally, sensibly and truth-
fully. Say that it is the prettiest, health-
iest, most progressive and law-abiding ,town
in the Palouse country, with the greatest.
resources and that ends it. —Gareifid

An Appeal to Lincoln.
I have here," said a Boston veteran,
"a scrap which I cut out of a paper many
years ago which may interest some of you,
as the man concereed was a Boston man,
and the story it tells illustrates what kind
of a man the best of Americau Presidents
was.
"FranklinW. Smith, an army contractor,
was tried by court martial and found guilty
of pocketing $20,000 or $25,000 out of -a con-
tract with the navy department for sup-
plies. The report of the court martial was
sent to President Lincoln for his examina-
tion, who returned itwith this characteristic
endorsement:
"'Whereas, Franklin W. Smith, bad
transactions with the Unites States Navy
Department to $1,250,000, and had a chance
to steal $250,000; and whereas, he was
charged with stealing $10,000, and from
final revision of the testimony it is only
claimed that he stole $100-1 don't believe
he stole anything at all.
"'Therefore, the records of the court-
martial, together with the finding and sen-
tence, are disapproved, declared null and
void, and the defendant is fully diseharged.

size and Strength of the Gulf Stream.
Even those who navigate its waters do
not fully realize the strength of its current.
Two or three years ago a goVernment vessel
was anchored in the stream observing the
current. The wind was very light when a
sailing vessel was sighted ahead, drifting to
the northward. .As she came nearer and
nearer it became evident that there would
be a collision unless steps were taken to
prevent. it. The crew of the sailing vessel
trimmed their sails to the gentle air ; but it
was uselef..s, for onward she went, carried
by the irresistible force of the current
directly toward the bow of the steamer.
As the vessels approached each other, by a
skillful use of the rudder on board the
steamer, she was moved throne side and the
sailing vessel drifted past a few feet diatant.
The captain of the latter was as astonished
as he was thankful that his vessel was not
lost. eall that he could cry out in broken
English as he flashed by was, "1 could not
help -it ; the water bring me here."
Rooms of the Vatican.
The present extent of the Vatican is enor-
mous, the number of rooms, at the . lowest
computation, being 4,422. Its treasures of
marble statues, ancient gems, paintings,
books, manuscripts, etc., are to be com-
pared only with those in the British
museum. The length of the statue museum
alone is a fraction over a mile. Conserva-
tive writers say that the gold contained in
the medals, vessels, chains and other objects
preserved in the Vatican would make mere
gold coins than the whole of the present

A TRAMWAY FOR BICYCLES.
The Novel Rallwayjfe—orisrclzick Tramit in NCNV
The novel bicycle railwa§. about to be
established between Mount Holly and
Smithville, N. J., will be the only one of its
kind in the country. The road bed is a
frame -work resembling an ordinary board
fence, on the top of .which is a steel T rail,
on which the grooved wheel of the bicycle
runs. A brace run extends down on either
side of the fence, on the end of which is a
wheel that runs along the bottom board of
the fence, and prevents the machine from
overtrianing.
Each bicycle will carry one or tw,o per-
sons, and the machines are easily propelled,
as there is but little friction. The trip
between the two places can be made in
seven minutes, and as there is considerable
travel each way daily it is the general
belief that the road•will be profitable. The
inventor is A. H. Hotchkiss, who has
arranged for the building of a similar road
et the World's Fair. —Philadelphia Record.
COOKING MADE EASY.
•
Warty -four Kitchens Turned into One.
The Junction City Co-operative 'Club,
known as the Bellamy Club, has just
entered upon its second year with a full
complement of members most .of 'whom
have been with it from the commencement.
This club was organized to conduct a com-
mon kitchen., There are forty-four ladies
belonging to the club, all of whom express
their satisfaction as to the result 'of their
experiment. During the year that the
society has been in existence the sum of
$5,320 has been expended for table supplies.
All bills have been paid as fast as con-
tracted, so that no debts have been carried
over. The officers of the society all serve
without pay. All the cooking for the forty-
four families represented has been done by
a professional cook at the society's kitchen,
and the Prepared food delivered at the vari-
ous residences. Tire expense is estimated
to be fully one-third less than at separate
kitchens. —Topeka. ( Kan. ) Special in New

The Double Trolley in Cincinnati.
It having been decided by the Supreme

the same court in New York) that the
single trolley has it right to exist notwith-
standing the &image it does to the vested
rights of the telephone company, and it
now being fully realized by all telephone

with their present knowledge, if there would
be any double trolley roads in Cincinnati
