Altogether, no magazine gives a list of attractions so interesting and promising as does The Ladies' Home Journal, and certainly no periodical does it, as does the Journal, for only one dol- lar per yea". If it has become a fad, as it seems, for every girl and woman to take this magazine, it is art excellent one, mind, unlike many other fads, a sensible one.

From the Newmarket Advertlae:. We suppose there is not a resident of Newmarket who does not know Mr. J. A. Moffatt, who does not know of his years of suffering and who has not beard of his release from a life of helplessness and pain through the medium of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. Indeed we doubt. if in the annals of medicine there is 1; more remarkable restoration than has been accomplished in Mr. Muffatt's ease and be deems it his duty to mankind t make the facts known through the col twins of the Adertiser. Ten years aze Mr. Moffatt was work ing in the Newmarket Hat Factory Through the influence of the damp room, and possibly some carelessness in regard to his health, he was attpcked with a 'severe cold which eventually settled in. his limbs. For some years he was an alniost constant sufferer from rheumatic pains and spent much money in treat- ment for the trouble, but with no result beyond an occasional temporary release from pain. Finally to make !natters worse lie was attacked with malaria and rheumatic fever. He was then forced to go to Toronto general nospital when• it was found that he was afflicted with torticollis (wry neck).

The operations proved successful only in so far as they afforded temporary relief. He remained in the hospital from November, 1890, till January, 1892, and with all the modern n remedies and appliances known t the staff of that well equipped institution no permanent relief could be obtained. He was then advised to go home, partly in the hope that the change might prove beneficial, but instead he continually grew worse, and in March, 1892, was again forced to take to his hed, and those who knew of his condition did not be- lieve he had long to live. At this time every joint in his body was swollen and distorted, and he suffered the most ex- cruciating agony. If a person walked across his bedroom it intensified the pain as though he was being pierced and torn with knives, and if touched he would scream aloud with agony. In this state of hopeless suffering he remained bedfast for eighteen unonths,all the while using all manner of medicines from which relief might he hoped for. Then he was put under the treatment of a celebrated Toronto specialist, but with no better result. After this last experiment failed, he determined to try Dr. Wil. liams' Pink Pills, at the same time dis- continuing all other treatment. At the end of three months' there was a very noticeable improvement in his condition, and so much so that his mother thoug'at he could be lifted outside Ha wee still so weak, however, that he was only ab e to remain np a few minutes as before. When taken batik to bed he felt a sudden tingling sensation going up from his toes and through his joints and spine. The next morning when he awoke the pain had left the body and lodged in the arms, and then for some weeks the pain flitted from place to place in the arms and then disappeared, and be has not had a particle of pain since. All this time he was taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and slowly but surely regaining his strength. Then an invalid's chair was procured, and he was wheeled out, eventually lie was able to wheel himself abodt. The continued use of the Pink Pills constantly added to his strength, and then the chair was discarded for crutches, and then the crutches for a cane. At this time (Sept. 1895) Mr. Moffatt had so far recovered that he was a frequent contributor to the columns of the Advertiser and procuring a horse and buggy he was engaged as local reporter for the paper. The once utterly helpless invalid is now able to go about, 'and' get in and out of his buggy without any assistance, and is at his post of duty whenever called upon. Thus we find that after years of suffer- ing and helplessness Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved successful after tall other remedies•mind the best of medical treatment had utterly failed. With such marvellous cures as this to its credit it is no wonder that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the most popular medicine with all classes throughout the land, and Ulla ease certainly justifies the claim put forth on its behalf that it "cures when other medicines fail," THESE FAMILIAR BRANDS .. .
