The Cream oflhe Continent to be Exhibit ed at Toronto.-â€"What May be Expect- ed at the Toronto Exhibition in a Few Weeks. From all quarters applications forspace at the forthcoming reat Industrial Fair to be held at Toronto From the 7th to the 19th of September are being sent inb every mail. It isnow anassured factthat nada’s Great Fair will this fall outrival any of its predecessors. Never before were there so many entries from the United States, and on no former occasion has such widespread interest been manifested in its success. Not- withstanding the fact that new buildings have been erected and old ones entries have been received to almost fill them. Even Great Britain is beginning to realize that it pays to bring its manufactures before the people of Canada, as at no place can they be seen by so many, and several of the leading manufactures of England have applied for space durin the past couple or three weeks at this Exhfil‘tion. The railway and steam- boat companies have this year notified the Association of their intention to give ex- tremely low rates during its progress. A newline of railway into the grounds will enab'e exhibitors of live stock on both the great railways to unload within 'a. ew yards of the stock sheds. It is this really great enterprise since its incep- tion fourteen years ago, but it may readily be accounted for by anyone who will take the trouble to examine the the prize list. No less than four-fifths of the many thou- sands ol dollars distributed annually go to the farmer and stock raiser, and while no other industry is slighted, this greatest one receives the lion’s share, and justly so. The farming community appreciate this and by their presence at Canada’s great gathering every year endorse the action of the Associa- tion. While the farmer visiting the Exhiâ€" bition cannot turn in any direction without seeing something to instruct him, he finds more than that. No pains have been spared to interest and amuse visitors every minute of the day. Manager Thayer of Boston, a man whose reputation in his particular line is continental, has this year added his vast experience in assisting to make the amuse- ments eclipse anything thathas ever preced- ed them. Theu again the scientist, the mechanic and the artist will 'find in the vari- ous departments something of special value to them. When it is remembered that over a quarter of a million people from all parts of Canada and ’the adjoining States visited form an opinion of its gigantic proportions and its importance and value to the country at large. The Crop Prospects. Minnesota and the Dakotas will yield 115,000,000 bushelsof sprin wheat from the very best estimates, Wort in the home market over $90,000,000. The harvest is in regress and the quality so far ades up to o, 1 hard. The Red River %dllcy will produce 46,000,000 bushels of this vast sup- ply of the world’s best food grain. The Great Northern Railway, well known as the largest carrier of wheat in America from original points, will beat all former records from present outlook. A Solid Knock-down Blow. The whole blows water while at play ; Trees blow in every clime; The sweetest flowers blow ih May, But wind blows all the time. There’s lots of blowing in this world. Sufferers from Catarrli blow theiriioses, and quacks blow about their " cures.” Dr. Sagc’s Catarrh Remedy is the only infallible one. Its proprietors back up this claim by offering $500 for every case they fail to cure perman- ently. This is an unanswerable blow at humbuggery, coming from men of sterling reputation and ample. capital. Nasal Catarrh cannot resist the potency of this Remedy. It stops discharges, leaviugthe senses acute, the head clear, and the breath normal. Of all druggists, 50 cents. When the devil can get the eyes he is sure of the feet. The Fools are not all Dead.

The Case Investigated by a Globe Reporter. THE FACTS FULLY VERIFIED- One of the Most Remarkable Cases on Record. A Man Pronounced by Eminent Physicians Permanently Disabled Fully llecovers -Fac-simlle of the Cheque for $1,000 Paid by Royal Templars or Temperance for Total Disabilityâ€"Hundreds ofVls- itors. A few weeks ago a marvellous and almost miraculous cure was made known to Cane.» dians through the medium of the Hamilton newspapers. It was stated that Mr. John Marshall, a well-known resident of Hamil- ton, by the aid of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, had been snatched from the very jaws of death, placed upon his feet and enabled to mingle with his fellow citizens with more than renewed health and strength and even brighter spirits than he had experi- enced for years before. This remarkable statement naturally excited the wonder of almost a continent. Some believed, most people doubted although the facts were placed so clearly as to ward off the slightest Suspicion of fraud. To investigate the very extraordinary cure and place before the peo- ple of Canada and the United States verifi- cation or otherwise of it was the special mission of a Globe reporter a few days ago. The Globe representative paid a visit to the house of the man thus rescued from a living death. Mr. Marshall’s home, cosy, comfortable, with climbing flowers covering its front, was reached only to find him out, taking a few miles constitutional up town. Mrs. Marshall, with smile-wreathed face, and looking as happy and light-hearted as upon her wedding day, welcomed her visitor and appeared delighted to have the opportunity of telling frankly and fullyâ€" while awaiting Mr. Marshall’s return-- what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had done for her husband. “It was a happy day for me,” she said “ when Mr. Marshall tried Dr. VViIiiams’ Pink Pills. Macy’s the weary day I had before that. Look at all these things we bought, hoping they would cure him,” and the goodllady turned with an armful of straps and tacklings of all kinds. There was a combination of harness and attach- ments of leather used for the “ suspensory treatment” by which the crippled man was hung in the barn by his body with his feet but a few inches from the floor. There were enough belts, bandages, supporters and sales to set up a good-sized store. ' i Then Mrs. Marshall showed a collection of 1 crutches and sticks which her husband had used. The whole collection was a large and remarkable one. Mrs. Marshall showed a letter received that day from New York State, in which was a query similar to many that had pre- viously been received by Mr. Marshall, “ \Vrite me if it is a fact or only an adver- tisement.” “Here’s a bundle of letters," said Mrs. Marshall, showing about a hundred letters tied together, “ that my husband has receiv- cd during the past two weeks, and lean tell you he is only too glad to answer all the let- ters cheerfully and readily, for he is anxious to give all the information he can to others suffering ashe did.” A firm step here was heard at the gate and in a moment a sturdy healthy-looking man of middle age with glowing black side whiskers and ruddy, pleasant features stepped into the room. It was Mr. Marshall, who gave no indication of ever having been a sick man, suffering from ataxy. When the reporter's mission was explained, Mr. Marshall’s flee lighted up with a smile, which caused a responsive one to rise upon the features of his wife, and he expressed his perfect willingness to tell all that was asked of him. “ Why, I feel a better man now than I did ten years ago,” said he, cheerfully. “ It’s four years next August since I did a day’s Work but I guess I can soon make a. start again. About my illness '3 It was all caused through falling and hurting my back. I kept getting worse until I couldn’t get ofi‘a chair without a stick or crutches. The lower part of my body and legs were useless. I tried every doctorand every patent, medicine, spending hundreds of dollars. Everything that was likely to help me I got, but I might as well have thrown it in the bay. Isuppose my wife has shown you the apparatus I used at one time or another. A dozen city doctors gave me up. I got enough electric shocks for half a dozen men,'but they did me no good. Ilost control of my bowels and water and couldn’t sleep without morphine. During the day my legs were cold and I had to sit by the stove wrapped in a. blanket, suffering intense agony from nervous pains in the legs, neck and head. Yes, I received from the Royal Templarsa $1,000 cheque, being declared totally unable to follow my employment. One day in A ril I took a notion to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills, carefully following the directions accom- panying each box. Why, in three days I got relief and kept on mending. I threw away the morphine pills and the crutches. I recovered my appetite and regained con- trol of my bowels and water and I went on getting better and'stronger and now you see me stronger and more healthy than 1 was for years before 1 was taken ill. I tell you I am feeling first-class,” and Mr. Marshall slapped his legs vigorously and gave the lower part of his back a good ‘ genuineness of the cure. (expected to see Mr. Marshall on his feet a.

Mr. Marshall offered to make an affidavit to the truth of the above story, but the re- orter considered that wholly unnecessary. 1Ij-‘le carried conviction to the inquirer's mind by every word and actibu, and there was no gainsaying the fact that the cure wasone of the most marvellous in the nineteenth cen- tury. All the neighbors bore testimony to the None of them ever again and regarded his restoration to health as nothing short of marvellous. Inquiries among the city druggists disclos- ed the fact that an extraordinary demand had arisen for Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills, and that the claims made for them by the pro- rietors are borne out by numerous cures. t‘may here be remarked that Dr. William's Pink Pills are offered by the proprietors as a certain blood tonic and nerve builder for all diseases arising from an over-taxed or weak- ened condition of the nervous system, or from an impoverished or vitiatcd condition of the bloodâ€"such as the complaints peculiar to female weakness, loss of appetite, inability to sleep, dizziness, pale and sollow complex- ions,loss of memory, that tired feeling which affects so many, and disease resulting from ever work, mental WOI‘I y, abuse or loss of vital forces, etc. John A. Barr, a well known and popular dispenser of drugs here, told the rcporifer that he knew of no patent medicine that had such a demand upon it, or one that had done all that was promised for it. On that day he had sold no less than forty boxes of the pills, and since he received the first in- stalinent he had sold nearly three hundred boxes. He told of several cases of great relief and cure that had come under his notice. Mr. Win. Webster,MacNab street, after sufi‘erin from atoxy for years, from the first had lfound certain relief from tak- ing the pills, and he is now a new man. Mr. George Lees, corner of Park and Main Sis, after years of illness of a similar nature, had taken three boxes of the pills, and was able to walk out greatly improved in health. Another case Mr. Barr vouched for was a city patient, who had been cured by the ills of the effects of 1a grippe, after having een given up by the doctors. Many others had spoken highly of the Pink Pills as a fine remedy for nervous and blood disorders. Other druggists told the same story. . One thing worthy of note in connection with the use of Dr. William’s Pink Pills is the light expense attending the treatment. These ills are sold in boxes (never in bulk or by t e 100) at fifty cents a box and may be had of all dealers or direct by mail from, Dr. 'Williams’Medieine Co.,Brockville,Out., or Morristown, N. Y. Nature provides a remedy for all diseases, and in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, women have a remedy for all those ills peculiar to their sex. Suppressions, bearing-down pains, nervous :headaches, etc., speedily yield to their treatment and restore the sufferer to perfect health. Try them.
