"I have heard," said the reporter, "that
your recovery was wonderful, and was.
brought about entirely by the use of Dr..
Williams' Pink Pills. Would you let me
have , the particulars of your illness and
restoration to health?"
"Certainly," replied Capt. McKay. "I
have told the story a hundred of theme al-
ready, bat as the truth never wears out
once more won't hurt, and beside) I always
think I may be aiding some person who is
now suffering se I euffered,and,giving them
a clean bill of health. To begin at the be-
ginning, I had la grippe about three years
ago and that tied me pretty well. I wasn't
fit to take charge of a ship, so sailed south
as far as Milk River, Jamaica, as nurse and
companion for an invalid gentleman. The
weather at that season was simply meltipg,
and I used to lie on the deck at night, and
in my weakened condition got some sort of
fever. When I reached home I was com-
pletely used up and continued to get worse
until I could hardly move about. At times
my limbs would become numb with a, ting-
ling sensation, aa though a thousand need-
les were being stuck into me. Then my
eyesight began to fail. It was difficult for
me to 'distinguish persons at a distance.
My face became swollen and drawn, and
my eyes almost closed. At times my flesh
would assume a greyish color and remain
for days in that state, being at the same
time cold and. death like."
"Could the doctor do nothing for yon?"
enquired the reporter.
"Seemingly not. They gave advice, sent
medicine, and rendered their bills promptly,
so that I think they derived the most" bene-
fit, for under their treatment I did not im-
prove a bit. At last I gat so bad that I lost
all ambition, I suffered terribly, was only a
burden to my friends, and actually longed
for death, which all thought was Boon in
store for me. But the darkest hour is just
before the dawn. I had become so bad
that I hardly oared how soon I slipped my
cable, for I was now almost completely

on my feet again, and I went to work after
months of enforced idleness, to the. great
astonishment of my acquaintances, who
never expected to see me around again.

J ESSOP & ,M0.1.4ROY,
MR. EDISON'S VIEWS.
"Mr. Edison duly received your letter
of lOth instant (Deo.), in which you ask his
opinion as to the practicability of trans-
mitting to the city of Toronto power gener-
ated
enetated at Niagara falls by meane of a cable
across the lake, and in reply, he has direct-
ed me to say to you, that the laying of a
power cable under water is the only prac-
ticable method of accomplishing what you
desire, for the reason that an aerial line
would be affected by. lighting. Mr. Edison
says farther that it is perfectly practical to
convey 20,000 or 30,000 horse power tc
Toronto from Niagara by submarine cable.
The following questions occur to him, how-
ever, in this connection : (1) Would not
such a cable as the one proposed be liable
to be disturbed by ship anchors ? (2) Is
the project commercial, and if effected
could it compete with a quadruple expan-
sion engine, with automatically stoker boil-
ers, situated in Toronto itself ? Mr.
Edison's impression is that the last-named
method would be the more commercial,
notwithstanding the high price of coal in
Toronto ?

19 IT FEASIBLE j
Of the doubt expressed in Mr. Edison's
letter as to the commercial value of power
transmission from Niagara to Toronto, the
citizen best qualified to, speak is Mr. J. J.
Wright, manager of the Toronto Electric
Light Company, and one of the beet prac-
tical electricians in Canada or the States.
Upon being spoken to, Mr. Wright express.
ed the belief that Mr. Edison's doubt was a
very proper one, and that electricity can be
m e in Toronto much cheaper than it can
be t Niagara for use in this city. He goes
s ood deal further, .and thinks that a
ca le under water would coat an amount
sf money that would place the question
at- once out-ef ractieal.. politica,.. as the
phrase goes. Without a -careful calculi -
tion -he ie not -preps .b xthe figures,._.
but, the quantity .if copper that would
be required to transmit the amount of
power proposed would figure up to millions.
That of course is inclusive of the insulating
material that would be necessary to pro-
tect the cable from marine life and secure
that the very high tension current to be
transmitted would not leak through and
get lost in the_ depths of the lake. Mr.
Wright thinks that power transmisaion
from Niagaraif ever it does Dome,
will be overlaid. But that ie in the dis-
tant future, and we need not wait till
it happens before trying to make To-
ronto en industrial center. It ie quite
problematic yet whether the power of
Niagara can be transmitted to Buffalo,
which is only fifteen miles distant, at
a price that will permit it to compete
with electric power generated on the spot
by steam engines ming soft coal at about
$1 per ton. The difference in the cost of
electricity generated by steam and that
generated by water power is far leas than
people imagine As an illustration of this
Mr. Wright pointed to the fact that Capt.
Carter, manager of the Niagara Falls Elec-
tric Light Co., the power house of which is
placed where the spray of the falls passes
over it, uses steam power in generating
the after effects of la grippe, all diseases de-
pending upon a vitiated condition of the
blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas,
etc. They are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar to the female system, cor-
recting irregularities, suppressions and all
forms of female weakness, building anew
the blood and restoring the glow of health
to pale and mellow cheeks. • In the case of
men they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excesses of any nature. These pills are not
a purgative medicine. They contain only
life -living properties, and nothing that
could injure the most delicate system.
They act directly on the blood- supplying
its life giving qualities, by assisting it to
absorb oxygen, that great sdpporter of all
organic life. In this way, the blood be-
coming "built np," and being supplied with
its looking constituents, becomes rich and
red, nourishes the various organs, stimulat-
ing them to activity in the performance of
their functions and time eliminate diseases.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only

mind that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
never sold in bulk, or by the the dozen or
hundred, and any dealer 'who offers sub.
atitutes in this form; is trying to defraud
you and thonld be avoided. The public
are also cautioned against all other so-called
blood builders and nerve tonics, put up in
similar form 'attended to deceive. They are
all imitatatione, whose makers hope to reap
a pecuniary advantage from the wonderful
reputation achieved by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams'
Pink fills for Pale People and refuse all
imitations and subetitdtee.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of
all druggists, or direct by mail from the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. from either, tia-
ra -es at 60cents a box, or six boxet for $2.60.

still an experiment so far as commercial ls
results are concerned. The existing elec-
tric companies will be prepared to compete
for a long time yet with any power brought
from the falls.
IISE OF ELECTRIC POWER.
Speaking of the general question of the
use of electric power, Mr. Wright says it
is increasing year by year at a very rapid.
rate, and for purposes of light manufactur-
ing will soon almost entirely supersede
steam. Roughly speaking, there is al-
ready electric plant in existence or being
erected in Toronto to the extent of double
the amount of all the steam plants in the
city. The street railway will, of course, be
the largest users. When their new power
house is completed in May next they will
use from 2,600 to 3,000 horse power. The
Toronto Electric Light company.nsee for
street lighting about 1,600 horse power and
supplier- now some 700 additional to the
railway. • The Edison company for lighting
purposes supplies probabiy600 horse power,
and between thetwo companies an addition-
al 600horse power is supplied forpower pur-
poses to establishments whore it hi"peed to
drive the machinery., Private electric
plants to the amount of over 200 horel
power exist in some of the larger factories.
The use of electricity is spreading, and it is
being applied to all sorts of labor formerly
performed by hand. The total steam plant
of the city, including that of the water.
works and of the Gooderham company, is
not over 2,500 horse power, and it is not in-
creasing at anything like the name ratio as
electric plant.
THE ONLY PROPER. WAY.
In conclusion, Mr. Wright said that the
only way to properly utilize the water
power of Niagara is to build the factories
beside on the line of the power canal, and
that Toronto will have to worry along with
the power that can be supplied by the
great engines erected by the Stations power
supply companies. This eminently prat.
tical opinion may trot be agreeable,
but it will at least prevent many citizens
from hugging the delusion that Toronto
