BROKEN IN HEALTH,
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills Restored
Strength After Medical Treat-
ment Had Failed.
Canada has more than 23 000 miles 1
of complete.i railways, built ata coat
Of more than one billion dollars. In
aotnal railway mileage Canada ranks
eighth among the countries of the world
and hoc mileage per capita is greater
than that of any other country. Fully
5 000 mites are now under construction.

"I can truthfully say Dr. Williams'
Pink Pale did for me whit oue of the
best doctors in Halifax failed to do —re-
stored my health." This strong state-
ment ie made by Mr. Wm J. Weaver,
172 Argyle street, Halifax. Mr. Weaver
adds:—"A few years ago I took em-
ployment in a large factory as fireman.
I knew the work would be hard, and
friends told me I would never stand it,
pounds Ialaaugh d man,atidea of not
being able to do the work. Anyhow I
started and found the job a hard one

quitting the job every few days. I kept

Pending the expected increase in !m- that time lost 50 rapounds Leightan

not
ports for the fall trade, the customs wake ambroken meals and often to I y droner
revenue is still dropping at a rapid rate.
For the mouth just eloped the total
onetome revenue was $3,732,876, a de-
crease of $1 709 624, as compared with
July of last year. For the first four
months , of the present fiscal year the
customs receipts has been $14,458,-
745, es compared with $20,565,691 for
the corresponding months of last year—
a deoreaae of $6,105,949.
The most important fact of all to be
kept is mind in discussing the agricul-
tural situation is that last year's years. com-
parative failure followed ten fat
Even last year farmers on the average
managed to make ends meet. All they lost was the power to lay by or purchase
in excess of actual necessities. This year
there is a reasonable certainty that the
farm surplus will be greater than in any
one season since 1906. That being so,
there is no reason why the wheels of
commerce in all lines should not, before
snow flies; revolve witht the 1906.—same
rapidity as in the early p
Toronto Star.
The census and statistics office in
connection with the Dominion depart-
ment of Agriculture, in the July
monthly bniletin of condition of crops
and live stock ii C inada, estimate the
average yield of fall wheat in Ontario
at 25 bushels per acre, and oats from
35 to 40 bushels per acre. The average
of the Province for hay and clover
crops is estimated at 112 tone per
acre. The bulletin says that corres-
pondents of the department throughout
the Province say that every where
farmers are reported as giving up the
hog industry, which, it is
stated, a
t
present is ceasing to pay, wing tothe
high prices of feeding or t Pork. The

number of swine in the Province is
reported at 1,947,193, as compared with

tions of live stook have increased con-
siderably in number over 1907.

Dr. Williams' Pink Palle Dura such

they cure anaemia, rheumatism, indi-

The decomposed body of Alexander
Robinson, adopted son of the late Wm .
Carson, who wandered away from his
boarding house at Gerrie oa or about
June 22, was found Thursday morning
suspended from a tree in Taylor's bush,
a mite from the town, Ile used a fence
wire to commit the deed. The deceased
who was practically friendless, was 55
years of age, and was considered to
be of somewhat unsound mind, which
no doubt accounts for the sot.

730 cattle, 848 sheep and lambs, 300
hogs and 248 calves.
The gaaltty of the cattle was only
