One of the most successful busines men in Brockville, is Mr. Thomas Nappy, the well known Perth street grater. Mr. Nappy is an Englishman by birth and the success he has achieved ia business hexe, has enabl- ed him. for some years past to make an annual holiday trip to the Motherland. In a casual converilatiou with some friends in tbo Bank of Montreal, re- cently, Dr. William's' Pink Pills hap- pened to be mentioned and Mr..Nali- py said that if the pills effected =any cures as marvellous as one that had come under his notice, he was not sur- prised that they were so frequently the *eine of conversation. Asked lat- er by a reporter of the Recorder to give the story, Mr. Nappy readily con- sented to do so, and we give it prao- tically in his own worsts. "Don't be disappointed when I tell you 'that the I th' o ate ," said Mr, Nappy. "As a matter of 'fact it occurred in England, and came un- der my observation on the occasion of two visits made to that coentry. Dur- ing the summer of 1898 I paid a vis- it to my old home in England, and while there visited William Ledger, a relation of mine, living at 45 Fitzwil- liam street, Doncaster, In Ledger's family wail a little girl, Lilly, abc•ut six years of age who was absolutely helpless with what the doctors said was St. Vitus' dance, but really seem- ed to me more like paralysis. This child was one of the most pitifal sights 1' ever saw ; more helpless than a new born babe, She could not move a single limb and if the head were turned LA one side or the other it remained in that position until someone changed it. The poor eland had to be fed and lookee after like an infant, and as the doctors had not been able to do anything do relieve her, recovery was pot thought possible. Indeed, I said to the child's grandmother that thought its eirly death would be a relief not only to the child, but to its parents. This was the condition of the child When I left for Canada, Agair in the summer of 1699 I made a holiday trip tie England and to my amazement when I visited my friend Ledger I found Lilly- as bright and active a child as one would eind any- where, with absolutely no trace of the trouble that bad Made ber a helpIesei burden the year before. I told • her parents I had never ex- pected to see her alive again and asked what bad effected her cure. "Dr Williams' Pink Pills," said the father. He further said that re- turning from work one night, be thend in the house a little book des- cribing the pills, left during the day, and after reading it decided te• use then. in Lily's ease. After supper he bought some of the pills and gave the. first to the child thet night. In - few days they saW they were help- ing her, and in less than two months tirne there was 'not a Child in the neighborhood,. brighter, healthier or more adttve. If have heard a great deal eoncerning what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done in this country but this ease coming iinder my own observation is as near a niiracle ad we ean look for in• these days, and shOwe why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , are so much talked about every- where. Dr. Williams' Pink rills are Jot as valuable in the ease of children as with adults, and puny little 0110S would seen thrive and grow fat un - 'der this treatment, which' has no equal for building up the blood and giving renewed strength to brain, body and nerves, Sold by all dealers or, sent post paid at tOo., it box( or eitt boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams' nedieine Co., Brookville Ont.
