We rosided in Kngland, where though I was a professor of mutic, 1 was noi dependent >n my art, a* I had acquired ' a competence. My wife wa* an heiress, hav- i ing I'.VI.IKKI in her own right. Through the rascality of a broker sh* wa* robbed almost of all her fortune, while by the Bank of! Glasgow failniWfSny money vanished forever. It became neceacaiy for me then to return to my profusion in order to live. I do not pr.ik ol il boaningly, but I stood well among the musicians uf that day in Ihe old land. My fee* were a guinea a lesson, and it was no uncommon thing for me to give! twenty in a day. We came to America, ' landing iu Quebec, where I anticipated get- ting engagement as organist in the cathed ml, but was di*appointed. Sutxe juently I w* moved to St. Catharines, in which city I procured an organ and choir and soon hail a large r/i- ul'lt. Later, in order as I thought to better my fortune, I iook up my residence in Ixmdon, first tilling an engage- ment with a Methodist church and after- i wards accepting th* position of organist in M. IVicr'i Cathedral. In thote cities I made many warm fneni's, and their tribute* and g'ilt* I shall ever retain a* among the inot precious of my possessions. It was while living in London and pursuing my art with much earnestness and labor that 1 received a stroke of paralysis. Perhaps, " | here the speaker rose and stretching him self lo his full height, thus displaying his! well-built and well-nourished frame " I ' do not look like a paralytic, lint the truth is I have had three strokes yes, sir, first, second and third, and they say 'he third is fatal, ninety-nine times out of one hundred. Vet here you see before you a three stioke victim, and a man who feel*, lKiihinlo.lv and mind, a* vigorous a* he vt-r did in his life.

(Jrippr alUcked me nnd add- ed to my pain, discomfort and weakness. At Isst I took to my bed and it itemed that I was never going to get well. Noth- ing of a nourishing nature would remain on my stomach. No drugs teemed to have a counter acting influence on the disease which was dragging me down to death. My wife would sit at my bediule anil moisten my lips with diluted spirit* which wa< all that could he done to relieve me. lletides three 1 local doctor* who gave me up, 1 had doctoiaT from London and Kingston who*e skill I . believed in an, I to whom 1 pud heavy fees, 1 1' 1 1 \x 1 1 ho u i receiving any help or encourage- ment. It is true, that a stomach pump operation atfonlrd temporary relief, but yi 1 felt that my peculiar case needed some special and particular compound r remedial agent which I knew not of. Hut, at lost, thank Cod, I discovered it. I had I wen for eighteen months a miserable wreck, unable to work, unable to eat or to sleep properly. Mv means were becoming exhausted.

I shall tell you how I came to try them. A fellow member of the A. O. U. W., the brethren of which order had been tore than kind to roe during my illness recommended Pink Pills. I knew noth- ing about what they were or what they could accomplish. In fact I am rather a sceptic on what are termed ' proprietary remedies.' Hut I started to take Pink Pill* for Pale People, made by the Dr. William*' Medicine Co., Brockville. From the very bist, one at a dose, I began lo mend, aud before 1 had taken more than a box or two I knew that I had found the light remedy and that to the Pink Pill* I owed my life. In nine months I have taken twelve boxes just *ix dollars worth. Think of il my friend : Hundreds of dollars for other treatment, and only six dollars for wiiat has made a man of me and set me again on the highway of health and prosperity. There is some lubtle, life-giving principle iu Pink Pills which I do not attempt to fathom. 1 only knew like ihe blind man of old : ' Once I wa* bliud ; now I can see .' God in ihe mystery at his providence, directed my brother of the A. O. U. W. to me. I took it. I live and rejoice) in my health and strength. I have no physi- cal malady, saving a (light stiffness in my leg due to grippe. I teel as well as in my palmiest days. My prospects are good, nil Ih's I gratefully attribute to the virtue* of Pink Pills for Pale People, ' and now my stoiy is done !' as the nursery bal- lad run*. If anybody should ask confirma- tion of t In* tale of mine let him write to 'ne and I shall cheerfully furnish it. The P.nk Pills were my rescuer anil I'll be their friend and advocate while I live !" The reporter finally took his leave of Dr. Verrinder, hut not without the professor entertaining him to another piano treat, a symphony phtyod with faultless execution and soulful interpretation of tlw composer'* thought. Calling upon Messrs. A. E. Pilkey A Co.. the well known druggi*ts, the reporter as- certained Dr. \Vilii tins' Pink Pillx have au enormous sale in Chatham, and that from all quarters come glowing reports ol the ex- celleul results following their use. In 'act Dr. Williams' Piiik 1'ilU are recognised an one of the greatest modern medicine* a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer- curing tuch disease* a* rheumatism, neural- Kia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitn* dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration snd the tired feeling resulting therefiom, diseases depending upon humors in thu blood, luch a* scrofula, chronic erysip- elas, etc. Pink Pill* restore pale and lal- low complexion* to the glow of health, and are a specific for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, while in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of what- ever nature. These 1'iUs are manufactured by th* Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, tin i . and Scheucctady, N. V., and are sold in boxes (nevsr ia loose form by the dozen or hundred snd the public are cautioned againsl numerou* initiation* *o!d iu this shape) at .VI cents a box, or six boxes tor S'-.."i". and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail troir Dr. Williams' Medicine Company from either address. The price at which these pills nee, fold make a courw of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. Disease !.< rin I* Taper H,m.-> The possibility of infection bcititf convey- ed lo a large number of persons liy means of paper mouey ha* ofteu lieeu suggested, and au examination of the notes of the bank of Spam current in 1'uha, which has recent- ly been published byDrs. Acosla and Rossi in the Cronies Medico Quirurgicode la Ha- bana, show* that this form of currency i* indeed liable to contain septic germs. The notes chosen for their experiments were some that had been in ule for s good while and were such as represented values of a few pence only. It was estimated that two notes, weighing altogether about fifteen grains, contained more than 19, IN*.) germs, of variou* kinds. Cultures were made in broth, astatine, and agsr, and these were injected into the peritouical cavity of r*U aud guinea pigs, most of which died within twenty four hours, Ihe post-mortem examina- tion showiugiigits of peritonitis and conges- tion of the liver and kidney*. Tbe blood of the heart and peritoneum was made use of to inoculate solid media, iu which colonies developed so rapidly that it w~> iinposiihle to dsler mine their precise nature, many dif- ferent forms h.'.u interm \nzle 1. Theatrical Note. A countryman and Ins bride applied at the box office for ticket*. "Orchestra chairs, parifuette, or family circle?" asked the ticket seller. " Which'll it be, Marier?" said Ihe groom. "Well," she replied, with a blush, " bein' as how we're married now, p'r'aps it would bo proper to sit in the family circle." The immense power of pood that can lie wielded by the Christian Church, if it would bestows little more alien tion upon Ihe greal and crying needs nf the human race has been happily illustrated by the success- ful intervention of the Bishop of Durham ia the coal strike in the Knglisli Lorth country. The strike, which from the first was moet ill advi-ed and suicidal, lasted for months, and might havo been going on to-day hut for Ihe pers inul intervention of the liishop in th* interests of peace. Dr. Wentcott may write many commentaries on the Paul- line Kpistles; but nothing he can write will equal the good which he did when, with Christian love and conaeci ated common sense, he stood up as a daysman between the dunutants and restored industrial peace to his distracted diocrsn. The miners rs> turned work at the full reduction ot IU per cent, originally domviiicd by the employers who, however, had raised their demands to l.'l\ per cent, in the ooune of the strife. The recouititution of a living church in actual touch with the world u the. greatest want cf Ihe. day, and, auch action at that of llishop \N ete.-. rhows that after all the boll may not he i.> iiops- lenly off the old driving-wheel r, nn\e ueo siinsts would have ui believe.
