MR. ,BEAUDYN'S STATEMENT. " I feel that I owe my life to your Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and Idesire to make grateful acknowledgment and to give you a complete statement of my illness and cure in the hope that my experience may be of benefit to some other sufferer. About the middle of October, 1891,. acting on the advice of an American doctor whom I had consulted, I left home for the north to --in vest in farming lands with the intention of cultivating them myself:- -1- had been afflicted with a species of paralysis .caused by the rupture of a blood vessel over the. right eye and which stopped the circula- tion of the blood on the left side.- I was at that time employed as av Wok -keeper by Messrs. Lacaillade Bros., Lawrence, Mass. The doctor had advised a. change of work so as to have less mental and more physical exercise. This I resolved' .upon',' ;but de- layed too long as I did not leave, _until the" following Ootober. Arrived at My Bestina- tion I perceived symptoms of my previous illness making themselves felt once _more. I went at once to a local physician: rho de, dared himself enable to understand my case. However, be gave, me seine medicine to ease the pain I felt inmy'head, partieu-. larly at night. This afforded me -relief for a few minutes, and sometimes enabl- ed. me to get a little sleep, but the awakening was always :worse than before. On the last of October T went to bed ruining after taking my medicine as directed, and slept the whole night, but on the following morning on trying to rise I found myself so weak that I. could not .stand, and could scarcely speak. My wife, surpriseip_to see me in such a state, ran to a7neighbor's and. requested him to go for a doctor and the, priest. The doctor arrived almost immedi- uld not afford e the slightest BITS Iii'FLORIDA Here at Them - . than in .Any Other Arial-of . the: World.- - There are- more ants to the square mile in Florida than in any other country in the world.

Mr. Wilson, once told the writer he saw the army ants do in India while the man was sitting on the earth for a few minutes beside him. _ But the Florida ants .will take out the lettuce andie other mint seed from the soil m' which they are planted and actually de- stroy the bed. They will suckthelife out of acres of young cucumbers and melon plants, uproot strawberry plants, or cover the buds with earth to such an extent as to kill them. They will get into pie, pickle, sauce, sirup, sugar, on meat, in hash, will riddle a cake or fill a loaf of baker's bread. till it is worthless.
