A MONTREAL MIRACLE.
After Sewn Years of Helplessness, Health
is Restored.
ft
A Statement of the Remarkable Case of Mies
Ramsay as Investigated by a Reporter
of Le Monde.
(Le Monde, April tee)
During the peat year newspapers in vaei-
ous parts of the country ha,ve chronicled
accounts of marvellous cures from the use
of a, medicine known as Dr. William& Pink
Pills for Pale People. These remarka'ele
cures, many of them in cases hitherto held
by medical science to be incurable,
where known as the Hamilton miracle,
the Cape Breton miraele, the Detroit
miracle, the Saratoga Co. miracle,
etc., and were vouched for by such
leading newspapers as, tip) Toronto
Globe, Hamilton Times, Hamilton Spectator,
Halifax Herald, Detroit. News, Albany, N.
Y. Journal and others, whose high standing
left no room to doubt that the facts were
as stated. And now Le Monde is in a posi-
tion to. add another laurel to the renown
achieved by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, by
giving the facts of a case, and certainly a
remarkable -one, which cannot fail to in-
terest Montrealers, inasmuch as it is not
only local, but gives the cure of a young
lady well known and esteemed in dee
district in which she reeides. The young
lady who osves her restoration to health and
strength is Miss Ramsay, the well known
manufacturers' agent, and one of Mon-
treal's most esteemed citizens, who does
business at 260 St. James street, and r&
sides at 14 Coursol street. Some of the
facts of this remarkable case having
come to the knowledge of Le Monde, a
reporter of this paper was detailed, to make
an investigation and in the'interest of other
sufferers lay an accurate statement of the
facts as he found them, before the public.
Both Mr. Ramsey and :his daughter were
found to be enthusiastic in their praises of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pillseand from the etory
told the reporter they had excellent reasons
for their enthusiasm. At the age of 14,
said Mr. Ramsay, my daughter was attacked
by chorea, more commonly known as•St.
Vitus' dance. Chorea, it may be said, is a
diseased condition of the nervous system,
which may result from feebleness .of consti-
tution, overetudy, or from a shock or fright,
leaving the patient in a more or less helpless
condition, control of the limbs being
lost. The trouble was brought on
through a fright she received at a
fire which occurred in our neighborhood.
That was more than seven years ago, and
those seven years have been filled with un-
told misery to my daughter. Her trouble
Was in the NVOI* form,,and until.- She began
tieing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, medical
science seemed unable to successfully cope
With it. Whei . she was attacked, I called
in a physician who treated her for a long
time, but without the least •benefibial re-
sults. I felt discouraged, but determined
to leave nothing undone that might tend to
restore her health, and I accordingly called
in another doctor. His treatment, seemed
to do ' her some good,. but' be left for the
States and she relapsed into her old condi-
tion. • I then placed her under the care of
another doctor, whose treatment helped
her, but she was all run down and so
• weak that she could: scarcely' move
about.. A year .ago last summer
I wanted to send her to the coun-
try, but the doctor :said she could go no-
where as she was too far gone. ,_He told me
• that I must, get a nurse to take care of her,.
'and that she must be kept in bed, as her
blood was all gone, and 'she reight die at
any momeet. ,She lingered on, however), in
this condition until last summer,. when the
doctor gave his permission to take her to
the country, and she was away from the
city from the lint of ;Tune until the middle
of September, when she came home much
impeoved. But it did not last long, for in
about a month she -began to fail again ;
bottle after bottle of medicine was taker.
which would stimulate her a little!, when
another relapse would come. About this
:time I saw in the papers the article tell-
ing of the case of Mr. John Marshall, of
Hamilton, and I told her I woutd bring
her 'a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
She replied that there watt another per-
.scription for me to get whichothe doctor had
left. I was now determined to give the
Pink Pills.a trial, and told her to say noth-
ing about it, but to try two boxes of pills
first.. Before the first box was finished we
, could notice an improvement, and after the
second box she was not like the same
woman at a,11. Would you believe it?—
when she had taken the fifth box she actu-
ally was .able to attend to her household
duties, and was not a bit the worse for it.
Before she began taking the Pink Pills, if
she attempted t� Sweep out her own room
she would be utterly done out. What more
can be said in favor of the wonderful merit
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ? Those who
known -1y daughter, and have seen . the re-
markable changewhich the use of Pink Pills
has wrought, can scarcely believe it, but it
is a solemn' face, and my only regret is
that I did not know of the wouderful medi-
cine long•ago. Since my daughter began
to improve, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
been used by many of our friends and
neighbors, and I do not know of e single
case in which they have not proved bene-
ficial.
The above ate the facts of the case as
related by Al r. Ramsay, and they certainly,
bear the strongest, testineery to the great
eurative properties of Dr, Williams' Pink
Pi•lla. •
The facts are also voitche.1 'for by neigh-
bors, including the family of, Mr. ,1.

conductor, who also sae; that the pills'

YEMEN A. MAN IS NOT A 110G.
The announcement this week that the
-Canada Life Assurance Company is under
contract to pay over 856,000,000 to its
policy holders and their heirEasuggests a
few ideas. The Canada Life is only .one of
many insurance compaaties doing business
in Canada. We have not at hand the figures
showing the total life assurance written in
Canada, but in the United States the
aineunt in force•at the end of 1891 reached
the tremendous total of $4,500,000,000. The
companies returned during 1891 over $100,-
0 .0,000 to policy holders, and had at the
atrill of the year well -invested ,assets of
about $1,000,000,000 to guarantee the fulfil-
ment of unexpired obligations. But great
as are these sums, they do not by far repre-
sent an exhausted field ;: there are still
-families au& individuals by the hundred
thousand to whom life insurance ieneedful
and accessible. And as the appreciation df
the excellencies of life insurance is growing
year by year, it would be a. bold inan who
should attempt to forecast the inimensity of
the sums involved in it,aay at the beginning
of the twentieth century.
Among savages it is "every -man fur him-
self," and the growth of the. life insurance
business is one of the signs of civilized
man's emergence from savage ideas. The
basic idea of life insurance is that a man
shall deny himself the use of a part of his
earnings or income in order that his depend-
ents may be Hhielded from want when he is
gone. True, business •and
actuarial ingenuity have succeeded in pro-
ducing rriany plans that make the sacrifice
easier, and in Ed= cases almost disgaise it
under the mask of some feature that has
been c'ornbined with it to attract patronage;
nevertheless, there is not a single one of ali
these attractive ,planteof life insurance that
does not during some portion Of the period
it covers call t'lle exercise of self-denial into
action.
. In the hot race for business this simple,
underlying fact has been too much lost sight
of, or wilfully relegated to but cursory men-
tion. Not that it is net well to accept
everything that fa,cilit•aterathe performance
of duty, as long as the essentials are kept in
view. But it is better for the self-respect,
better for the permanent satisfaction of both
assurers and assured that the cardinal point
of life insurance should be well understood,
and that ia all cases it means protection of
dependents first, and investment or sa.vireg
bank afterward.
Let the thoughtful man consider for a
moment what a variety of good resul, from
the life insurance premiums that he amorally
pays to good companies. In the firet plaCe
he has acted wisely from the point of
of Ids own business,' to which he can devote
his best energies, untrammeled by the dread
of destitution overtaking his :family if he
should die. Again, irf such an event. lie
has enabled them to save perhaps an estate
that might have been lost to,thern but for
the ready Morley which' life insurance pro,-
vides. "He has shielded his children from.
the necessity of drudgery' during the years
which should be devoted:to preparing their
young lives -to grapplO.with the problems of
the future. He has put them'beyond the
reach of the humiliation of charity, and
done his part towards, hastening the time
when charity -taking will be confined to
very ‘• _narrow limits. He has also
done that . which prevents his de-
pendents from becoming a, lair -
den upon the State, either through their
poverty or, the lack of proper training com-
pelled by poverty. He has contribueecl his
quota to funds which are not. " locked up,"
but which ere greatly instrumental' in
furthering works of public utility, while
earning interest for the companies that in-
vest them for the benefit of policy -holders
and beneficiaries.
It is plain, therefore,: that of all the
practical forms of unselfishness that which
is Cmhodied in the availment of the life in-
surance idea is most fruitful of good results,
to the individual and to the eommunity.
With due deference to the. worth of the
various charities, it must be admitted that
their werk is not nearly as far reaching, nor
as conducive to preserving that dignity of
character' which is not assailed by life insur-
ance. The beneficiary of a life insurance
policy has no one to thank but the one who
is beyond the reach of thanks. The com-
pany in paying the insurance simply does
what it agreed to do by the terms of the
contract.
Everybody Fooled.

-DOMINION —PARLIAMENT.
Mr. Pattereon (West Huron), replying to
Mr. Sutherland, said the papers ,relating to
the London election were very voluminous
and much trouble was found in getting them
all. They would be placedon the table as
soon as possible.
Mr. Beigaron said that in coming from
Montreal this morning the train was almost
delayed near St. Polycarpe by the overflow
of water, soine forty acres being flooded. He
thought it opportune to call the attention of
the -dovernment to this matter, that they
might find out whether the proper course of
the water was stopped by the construction
of the proposed SGulanges Canal. •
Mr. Tiedale asked whether it was the in;
tention of the Government to increase the
interest upon deposits in the Post -Office
Savings Bank to 4 per cent.
Sir Adolphe Caron replied that it was not
the present intention of the Government to
make such an increase.
Mr. Choquette asked whether it was the
intention of the Government to introduce a
measure with .a view to sttspending the
operation of the Electoral Franchise Act
and to provide that no revision of the
electoral lists shall take place thia year ?.
Mr. Patterson (Huron) replied that such
was the intention of the Government.
Mr. Laurier—Abolish it altogether.
Mr. Taylor asked whether it was the in-
tention of the Government to erect Es. suit-
able monument to the memory of the late
Premier on the grounds near the 'House of
Commons?
Sir John ThOmpson—It is the intention
of the Government to ereot, such a monu-
ment as soon as a vote of Parliament is
obtained for it.
Mr. Edgar moved for copies of letters
patent andsupplementary letters patent of
the Dominion Cotton Mills Company and
the Cauadian Colored Cotton Mills Com-
pany, and spoke at some length upon the
subject of the monopoly in cotton manufac-
turing.
Mr. Flint, moving for an order of the
House for a list of all revising officers and
the amount of moneys paid to each for the
last revision of the electoral lists, urged the
Government to have an annual revision as a
matter of justice to those entitled to vote
throughout the country.
Mr. Pa.ttersOn (Huron) said the papers
would be brought down as 'expeditiously as
possible. Many of the claims for Moneys
by Officers had not yet been received.
- Mr. Laurier snid the tact that there was
to be no revision this year was evidence
that the Act was cumbersome and expensive.
The Act had never been applied as it was
on the statute ,book. . They had never yet
had an annual revision.
Mr. howell moved the second reading of
the bill x•eepecting aid by United States
wreckers in .0(anaclian waters. The bill
passed its second reading.
Mr. Tupper's bill to amend 'the Pilotage
Act, whereby vessels of 120 tons instead of
80 tons should be exempted fewn dues, passed
its second reading and Aa$ reported iu com-
mittee.
The House went into Committee of
Sni.hia'li.13'u item of,•••:6,320 for the Jamaica
Exposition, revote; .
Mr. Somerville drew attention to the
item in the Audi tor- General's report credited

He did not see how he could receive pay-
ment for services while he was a member of
this House. .

the GovernmaGeneral's warrant for $75,Q.00).:),

Mr. McMullen asked as to the expected
total expenditure on the census:- - -
Mr. Carling replied it was expected the
total cost would be $520,000.
On Custotns items,
Sir Richard Cartwright objected to the,
Government paying Customs officers . large
b,onuses for invading merchants'. establish-
ments in order tofind them guilty of viola-
tion of the Customs law. • '
Mr. McGregor said he could prove- it,
and would give one case. There was one
officer named Albert 'Drouiltia.rd who re-
ceived a salary of $550. A year ago
he seized a scow, the Mary Alice, on
the claim that she had been smuggled.
This was .disproved, but she was seized
again ori. the claim that • repairs on her
had been made in Detroit and mug-
gled. The receipts of the ship yard in
1,Va1kervi11e were produced to prove that the
repairs, had been made there. The vessel
was kept from midsummer until fall, and
not only was the owner, who was a poor
man, kept out of thiruse of his vessel, but
the costs of taking care of her were added,
about $150.', 'This same man had visited
merchants, and threatened to seize their
goods if they did not pay him money. In
calling attention to this case ,Mr. McGregor
acquitted of all -blame the Windsor Custome
oflicers generally.
Mr. Sutherland, while admitting that
some such system as this might be neces-
sary, presented several cases of hardship
arising out of it, and urged the Minister to
see to it that abuses were prevented.
Mr. Bowell defended the system.as neces-
sary, and explained that all • seizures made
were reported. Just as there might be
thefts, so there might be cases of black-
mail, but every effort was made to erevent
them.
A Bill respecting the Great Northern
Railway Company as introduced by Mr.
Taylor and read a first time. '
Mr. Edgar read his charges against Sir
Adolphe Caron, as contained in the notice
of motion filed by him two days -ago and
already published. He proceeded : Having
made that statement, 1 propose•to found
upon it a resolution of which I have given
notice. There are some considerations apart
from the nature of the charges which favor
urgency. There is the question of the
length of the session. This affecte the con-
venience of members of the House. If there
is unreasonable delay it will needlessly pro-
long tlue.,,,Bession, and I desire to show
that when I made these charges I wished
for an investigation at the earliest possible
opportunity.
Mr. Speaker—Looking at it from my
point of- view, I think it is ter' 'doubtful
whether thissis a question of privilege at all.
This question, of course, could be brought
up without notice, in the same way, but) as
it has been put upon the notice paper, and
as it has not the element of urgency requir-
ing it to be iminediately dealt with, 1 do

his resolution that he rupposed it
would be referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, because that
seemed to be the committee fevered by the
Government to make inquiries of this kind.
He aseurned that in a charge so serious and
distinct the House would as a wetter of
exalt se grant a committee of inquiry. He
would therefore make no further comment.
Sir Adolphe Caron said he desired in
anewer to the charges made by the member
for West Ontario to make ,e. statement to
the House, which would be shorts He took
this fiat opportunity to state to the House
that in every particular the charges made
by the hon. gentleman were false. Un-
solicited, and without asking for them, he
had received letters and telegrams from the
managers of both the companies mentioned
in the charges made by the hon. gentleman
stating that the charge that he had received
money was absolutely false. At this period
•of the proceedings he gave en emphatic
denial, and that .was all he had to say at
present.
The follewing Bills were read a first
time:
Respecting the Pontiac ev. Pacific Junction
Railway Company—Mr Murray.
Respecting the Canada Atlaetic Railway
Company—Mr. Corbould.
On the item, ammunition $50,000,
Mr. Charlton called the attleatiori of the
Minister of Militia to the necessity for: a
change in the. arms furnished to the
Canadian militia. The present arm was the
old Snider, a rifle which had been in use for
thirty years and wrier completely out of date.
He suggested that the Minister should get
all information possible on the subject so as
to choose an efficient arm.
Mr. Denison favored the purchase of some
late perfected arm rather than 'the purchase
ef, Martini rifles, which were already out of
date.
Mr. Prior favored the purchase of Mar-
tinis, which were good enough for all prac-
tical purposes, and were specially good for
rifle range shooting. The new magazine
rifles were too complicated to be put into
the hands' of any except thoroughly trained
men, particularly when there were not good
armories to keep them in.
Mr. Davies said the difficulty was not in
the arms alone. The report showed that
the expenditure had not resulted in the
permanent 1 enefit that the people who had
to foot the bill had the right to expect.
Mr. Hazen thought that the Martini rifles
in store ehould be distributed among the
city corps, as in the cities they could be
taken care of in the armories provided."
Mr. Hughes eontended there should be
no discrimination as between city and rural
corps. The damage to rifles did not take
place ia armories but in the 'camp& There
were no rifle racks in the tents, and rifles
were left upon the ground, so that if there
was rain in the night they were found in
theniuch There was, dew also during the
camping season, and thus also the rifles
were injured.
Mr. Fraser thought that fighting would
not Ate called, for in Canada hereafter.
There was no country with which Canada
need go to war.
Mr. Fraser said there was no (laner
from the Indians with an honest adminis:
tration of Indian affairs. Even such
honesty ' as the preeent Administration
showed was practically a guarantee against
an Indian outbreak. • Bo agreed, however,
that if war ever came the fighting would
have to be done by the 'country boys. But
if money was to he,es:pended it should not
be for play or show, but for useful purposes.
He feared tliat mach money had been
,wasted. • ,
Mr. Rowell said that the Government
recognized the value of the policy advocated
by the member for North Norfolk (Mr.
(Jharlton), that of investigating the question
of arms. They already had ten of theLee-
Metford guns in store for expel iment, ;sad
samples of the Lee-Metford No. 2, a new
improvement,, had been sent for. These
rifles would cost about $20 eaeh, so that to
equip the number of volunteers who are
drilled every year would cost about $500,000,
and to equip the whole active militia would
cost abaut twice that atimunt. The Snider
rifle was used in the Northwest., and no
complaint was made as to its efficiency. He
agreed that the Iriditens•were not likely to
rise under just Brilish rule. He referred to
t re suggestion made by the Major-General,
that instead Of the allowance for captains for
contingenei es, a system should be established
of employing caretakers of stores, these
caretakers to be part Of the Permanent
military staff. This and other suggestions
„would receive careful consideration.
Mr. Sutherland complained that the
report of the -Minister of Militia had not
been brought down before, so that the merri-
bers might be able to master the facts and
suggestions it contained before entering
upon the• discussion of the questions in
supply. He hoped under the new Minister
of Militia there would be greater efficiency
in the administration. It was not lack of
money, that caused the stores and equip-
ments to be so poor but lack' of proper
administration. ft had teen felt for some
time that it was treeless to make representa-
tions in favor of reforms in militia adminis-
tration. He hoped that under the new
Minister there would be au improvement.
Mr. Kirkpatrick 'reminded the House of
the fact that extra clerks in the Civil
Service who, as volunteers, went out to put
down die Hull riots., were docked their pay
in the service for the days they were absent.
He thought these men should be paid.
Mr. ,Casey spoke at some length on the
suldect of procuring butter arms for the
militia. Snider rites vero used in the
Northwest it, was free, but they were op-
posed only to old Hudson's Ray flint locks
in the hands of the Indians and. half-
breeds.
Mr. Sonie.eille ridiculed the tone teasel
by the member for West Toronto (Mr.
DI nison), and thought he could not claim to
know quite so much of military afEtirs as he
pretended. He read a series of papers,

A WILD SCENE AT THE INQUEST.
The first evidence submitted was that of
; the doctor who found the body.%There
was intense excitement as the witness gave
the ghastly details of the finding of the
, body, which, he said, had been doubled up,
evidently with the object of saving labor in
;digging the grave.
Throughout the hearing Deeming wore a
careless air, and on several occasions he
I laughed loudly at some of the statements.
An ironmonger named Woods and his
wife testified that they had sold the prisoner
a spade, a trowel and a barrel of cement on
Dec. 17th.
When Miss Rouncewell, to whom he was
to have been married, was called, her
identification of Deeming produced a
marked effect on him. He turned ghastly
pale, fidgeted net vously and kept his eyes
upon her, esidt ntly anxious to attract her
attention. She would not look at him after
the identification, but sat quietly listening
to the inquest.
To place the qeestion of Deeming's iden-
tification beyond all doubt, he was placed
in the courtyard of the jail with 50 other
apiari;ssoens.ers. Here he was seen and identified
by 52 persons who keown him under 15
He beoame w' .1 with rage, and breaking -
from his guards rushed upon those who
had identified hire and struck one of them
a severe blow. He attempted to hit others,
but they eluded him, and finally the infuri-
ated man was overpoveered. He believes
the game has ended for him, and a close
watch is kept to prevent him from killing
himself,
Notwithstanding the fact that the jury,
which was investigating into the death of
Mrs. Deeming, who was murdered at her
home at Windsor, a suburb of this city,
yesterday returned a verdict cA wilful mule -
der against her husband, Deeming to -day
shows the same charriaiteristics that have
marked him since his arrest. The verdict
does not seem to affect him in the least, and
he is in turn jocular. and insolent. The
more ,the man is tittudied the deeper
be:cornea the belief of many persons
that he is utterly without conscience
and equally devoid of fear. Those
who have etudied hirn closely, however,
think his conduct is mere bravado, and that
when he finds the noose tightening about
his neck he will become an abject coward.
'The Globe says the police have been
unable to trate Deeming's exact where-
abouts at -the time these murders were com-
mitted. in Whitechapel. It is thought that
with the clue furnished them by the girl;
some startling developments may be looked
for and that the Whitechapel mysteries may
at last be solved.

its provisions than any of its pre-
deceseors. It. provides in brief that from
and after the passage cf the Act no
Chinese persons, except the diplomatic and
consular representatiyes of the Empire,
shall be permitted to enter the United
States. Ship captains who shall attempt
surreptitiously to land anyChineee subjects,
except the foregoing, shall be fined $500
for each and every pereon so brought, and
may also be imprisoned for one year. Any
Chinese man who shall enter the United.
States by crossing its boundary lines may
be iinprisoned in the Penitentiary for a
term not exceeding five years, and when he
shall have served outehis sentence he must
be removed from the United States to the
country whence he coma
The bill also provides that Chinese per-
sons who shall coma into the United States
from China be returned to that country. It
makes no exceptions in favor of Chinese who
may be subjects of any other foreign power,
and it also requires that within a year after
the passage of the act every Chinese. man
in the United States shall apply for a
certificate of residence, and those
who 'do not apply and are found
without such certificate of residence
shall be subject to the 'satne fines and
penalties as if they had unlawfully comp
into the Vnited States in the first instance.
The failure of the Senate to pass the bill,
Mr. Geary says, will make California safely
Democratic at the corning autumn elections.
It is not believed, however, that it will be
adopted by the Senate, inasmuch as that
body recently passed a mcasure extending
for ten years more the pending Exclusion
Act of 1892.
