The story is told by the ollows 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. —A case rticulars ng News, e inter - the re- n medi- its own me.

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. • Popular Fallacies. That a broad waist -band is incicative o good living. That the love of office is not supreme in the human breast. That a box of bon -bons contains the quintessence of all earthly bliss. That a visit tO London or Paris is neces- sary to a person's salvation. That a tenant cannot tell the tread of the rent -collector a block away. That a common spy is much more of a nuisance than the kodak fiend. That a lucky man doesn't quake when he gets on skates for the first time. That the number of cranks and lunatics decreases as civilization progresses. • That there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in a nightmare. Judge. The Ontario Architects.

Perhaps the most im- portant achievement in the eyes of practis- ing members of the profession is the testing 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.

Within the next week the Philadelphia Traction Company will receive from the various electric companies throughout the country letters of general inforn3ation and oats ni regard to the size and capaeity of the plants -they control: On -Jan. 20th the Traction Company mailed it series of questions to all the leading _electric corn- penies in the United States, of which a 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- quired for their construction, etc. The style of wire favored by each company is also asked. The series of questions covers about ten type -written pages, and, with- out touching upon cost in any way, covers the entire work of construction of an electric railway. The reaponses are re - 'quested on or before Feb. 10th. —Philadel- phia Record. 4 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 Enterprise. C4 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. "'A. LINCOLN." 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 European circulation.

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 'York Times. ' The Double Trolley in Cincinnati.
