The Remarkable Case of Mr. John W. Condor. the other remedies I had used. But urged on by friends I continued taking Pink Pills and after using seven boxes I was re. warded by noticing a decided change for the better. My appetite returned, my spirits began to rise and I had a little freer use of my muscles and limbs, the old trou- blesome swellings subsidiug. Icontinued the remedy untilIhad used twenty~five boxes when I left off. By this time I had taken on considerable flesh, and weighed as much as 160 pounds. This was a gain of 60 pounds in a few Weeks 31y joints assumed their normal size, my muscles became firmer, and in fact I was anew man. By April I was able to go to work in the basket factory, and now can work ten hours a day with any man. I often stay on duty overtime without feel- ing any bad effects. Iplay baseball in the evenings and can run bases with any of the boys. Why I feel like dancing for very joy at the relief from abject misery I suf- fered so long. Many a time I prayed for death to release me from my sufferings, but now that is all gone and I enjoy health as only he can who suffered agony for years. I have iven you a brief outline of my sufl'er- ings, ut from what I have told you can guess the depth of my gratitude for the great remedy “hich has restored me to health and strength. \Vishing to substantiate the truth of Mr. Condor's remarkable story the Empire repre- sentative called upon Mr. F. \V. James, the Oakville druggist referred to above. Mr. James fully corroborated the state- ments of Mr. Condor. \Vhen the latter had first taken Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills he was amere skeletonâ€"a wreck of humanity. The people of the town had long given him up for as good as dead, and would hard- ly believe the man’s recovery until they saw him themselves. The fame of this cure is now spread throughout the section and the result is an enormous sale of Pink Pills. “I sell a-dozen-and-a-half boxes of Pink Pills every day,” said Mr. James, “ and this is remarkable in a town the size of Oakville. And better still they give perfect satisfaction.” Mr. Jamesr ecalled numerous instances of remarkable cures after other remedies failed. Mr. John Robertson, who lives midway between Oak~ ville and Milton, who had been troubled with asthma and bronchitis for about 15 years, has been cured by the use of Pink Pills, and this after physicians had told him there was no use doctoring further. Mr. Robertson says his appetite had failed com- pletely, but after taking seven boxes of Pink Pills he was ready and waiting for each meal. He regards his case as a re- markable one. In fact Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are recognized as one of the greatest modern medicinesâ€"a perfect blood ‘builder and nerve restorerâ€" curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, lo- comotorataxia,St. Vitus dauce,nervous head- ache, nervous prostration and the tired feel- ing resulting therefrom, diseases depending upon homers in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of A Helpless Cripple For Yearsâ€"Treated by the Suit 0! the Toronto General Hospit- al and Dbeharaed as Incurable-The Story of his miraculous Recovery as Investigated by an Empire Reporter. Tâ€"thonto Empire. For more than a year past the readers of the Empire have been given the particulars of some of the most remarkable cures of the thli century, all, or nearly all of them, in cases hitherto held by the most advanced medical scientists to 'be incurable. The particulars of these cases were vouched for y such leading newspapers as the Hamilton Spectator and Times, Tre Halifax Herald, Toronto Globe, Le Monde, Montreal; Detroit News, Albany, N.Y., Journal; Albany Express and others, whose reputa- tion placed beyond question the statements made. 4 Recently rumors have been afloat of a remarkable case in the pretty little town of Oakville, of a young man recovering after years of helplessness and agony. The Eni- pire determined to subject the case to the most ri rid investigation, and accordingly detailc one of our best reporters to make a thorough and impartial investigation into the case. Acting upon these instructions ~our reporter went to Oakville, and called upon Mr. John \V. Condor (who it was had so miraculously recovered) and had not long been in conversation with him when he was convinced that the statements made were not onl true, but that “ the half had not been to d." The re orter found Mr. Condor at work in one of t e heaviest departments of the Oukville Basket Factory, and was surprised, in the face of what he knew of the case, to be confronted by a strapping young fellow of good physique. ruddy countenance and buoyant bearing. This now rugged young man was he who had spent a great part of his days upon a sick-bed, suffering almost untold agony. When the‘ Empire representative announced the purpose of his visit Mr. Condor cheer- fully volunteered a statement of his case for the benefit of other sufferers. “I am," said Mr. Condor, “ an Englishman by birth, and came to this country with my parents when nine years of age, and at that time was as rugged and healthy as any boy of my age. I am new 29 years of age, and it was when about 14 years old that the first twinges of inflam- matory rheumatism came upon me, and during the fifteen years that intervened be- tween that time and my recovery a few months ago, tongue can hardly tell how much I suffered. My trouble was brought on, I think, through too frequent bathingin the cold lake water. The joints of my body began to swell, the cords of my legs to tighten, and the muscles of my limbs to contract. I became a helpless cripple con- fined to bed, and for three months did not leave my room. The doctor who was call- ed in administered preparations of iodide of potassium and other remedies without improvement, and I thought this was likel any material beneficial effect. After some months of suffering I became strong enough to leave the bed but my limbs were stiffened and I was unfitth for any active vocation. I was than hampered more or less for the following nine years, when I was again forced to take to my bed. This attack was in 1886, and was a great deal more severe My feet, ankles, knees, legs, arms, shoulders, and in fact all parts joints swollen, and the disease even reached my head. My face swelled to a great size. I was unable to open my month, my jaws being fixed to- gether. I, of course, could eat nothing. My teeth were pried apart and liquid food pour- ed down my throat. I lost my voice, and could speak only in husky whispers. Real- ly, I am unable to describe the state I was in during those long weary months. W'ith my swollen limbs drawn by the tightening cords up to my emaciated body, and my than the first. of my frame were effected. My and muscles became badly whole frame twisted and contorted into in- describable shapes, I was nothing more than a deformed skeleton. For three long weary months I was confined to bed, after which I was able to get up, but was a complete physi- cal wreck, liobbliiig around on crutches a helpless cripple. My sufferings were con- tinually; intense, and frequently when I e 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 ex- cesses of whatever nature. - The Empire reporter also called upon Mr. J. C. Ford, proprietor of the Oakville Bas- ket Factory in which Mr. Condor is employ- ed, Mr. Ford said he knew of the pitiable condition Condor had been in for years, and he had thought he wculd never recover. The cure was evidently a thorough one for Condor worked steadily at heavy labor in the mills and apparently stood it as well as the rest of the employees. .Mr. Ford said he thought a great deal of the young man and was pleased at his wondrous deliver- ance from the grave and his restoration to vigorous health. In order to still further verify the state- ments made by Mr. Condor in the above iii- terview, the Reporter on his return to To- ronto examined the General Hospital record and found therein the entries fully bearing out all Mr. Condor had said, thus leaving no doubt that his case is one of the most remarkable on record, and all the more remarkable because it had bafiled the skill of the best physicians in Toronto. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. would hobbling along the street I would be seized with a paroxysin ofpain and would fall unconscious to the ground. During all this time I had the constant attendance of medical men, but their remedies were \Villiams’ Medicine Company, Brockville, Out, and Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred. and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this unavailing. All they could do was to try to build up my system by the use of tonics. In the fall of 1889 and spring of 1890 I again suffered intensely severe at- tacks, and at last my medical attendant, as a last resort, ordered me to the Toronto General Hospital. I entered the Hospital on June QOth, 1890, and remained there untilSeptcinber 20th of the same year. But, notwithstanding all the care and at- tention bestowed upon me while in this iii- stitution, no improvement was noticeable in my condition. After using every avail- able remedy tlie hospital doctorsâ€"of whom there was about a dozenâ€"came to the cou- clusiou that my case was incurable, and I was sent away, with the understanding that I might remain an outside patient. Ac- cordingly from September 1890 to the end of January 1891, I went to the hospital once a week for examination and treat- ment. At this stage I became suddenly worse, and once more gained admission to the hospital, where I lay in a miserable suf- fering condition for two months or more. In the spring of 1891 I returned to Oak- villc, and made an attempt to do something toward my own sup art. I was given light work in the basket actery, but had to be conveyed to and from my place of labor in a buggy and carried from the rig to a table in the works on which I sat and perform- ed my Work. In August, 189], I was again stricken down, and remained in an utterly be] less condition until Jan- uary 1892. At t iis time Mr. James, a local druggist, strongly urged me to try Dr. W ill- iains' Pink run for Pale People. I was prejudiced against proprietary medicines as I liad's *nt nearly all I assessed on numerous ighly reconimen ed somelled remedies. I had taken into my system large quantities of different family medicines. I had exhausted the list of liniments, but all in vain. and I was therefore reluctant to italic Mr. James' advice. I, however, saw several, strong testimonials as to the value of Dr. \l'i'lliains' Pink Pills as a blood builder and nerve tonic. and thinking that if I could only get my blood in better con- dition my general state of health might be shape) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. \Villiams’ Medicine Company from either address. The price at which these pills are sold make a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. An American Banker's Adventure in Paris. Mr. Gaspard I’cry, an American banker, has, according to the Standard’s corre- spondent, had a disagreeable experience in Paris. He had never visited France before, and was, it seems, delighted at the prospect of being; shown all the wonders of the French capital by two elegantly-dressed in- dividuals whose acquaintance he made on board the steamer which brought him from Newhaven to Dieppe. After breakfastiug together, Mr. Pery and his two newly-made friends went on Thursday to the Banque des Pays Bus and cashed a draft for 13,000f. The American banker put the notes into his liockebbook and then parted with his oblig- ing companions, who had brought him to the bank. They were, however, to meet in the cvenin , to dine together at the Hotel Continents . Mr. Pch was punctual at the rendezvous : but as his friends did not come. his suspicions were aroused, and putting his hand into his pocket he pulled out an old pocket-ka full of nothing but worthless scraps of aper. liysome dextcroussleight- of-haud is companions had substituted it for the one filled with bank-notes. Greatly annoyed at being thus viciimiscd, Mr. Pcry had not even the consolation of im- agining that his misfortune was due to a want of knowledge of French customs or the language, for of the two pickpockcts one was an American and the other anEng- lishman.

A Romantic Defenceâ€"“ Only a‘Ghost. ’ In the artof connecting magnificent lies Chieffiledical aficer, Gold 0m mum“, on the spur of the moment, the Asiatic holds his own right well. This gracious gift fre- quently comes into evidence during criminal trials in India; the defence put in is often quite a brilliant performance in pure fiction. as in a case at Calcutta the other day. The charge against the accused was that he at- tempted to introduce certain contraband articlesâ€"tobacco, sweets, cocoanuts, and raisinsâ€"into the jail by throwing them over the wall made up in a bundle, with a long string attached in case it became expedient to pull the consignment back again. As the evidence was entirely conclusive, an English prisoner would probably have pleaded guilty in the hope of being left off lightly. Not so this Asiatic ; the resources of unver- acity came to his help in a moment. He affirmed that, while passing the prison with his fishing line and a package of eatables a watchman suddenly pounced upon him. Believing that he was in presence of a ghost, be instantly took to his heels, dropping all the articles that were arrayed in evidence against him. As for throwing anythin over the wall, he never dreamed of such at iing ; if the bundle was found there, some kite must have carried it, together with the fish- ing line. Nor was he sure, on second thoughts, that it was really a watchman with whom he had come into collision ; it might have been a genuine ghost, and that, of calirse, would explain everything. Sad to relate the European magistrate who heard the case declined to believe this artless tale. W its Excellent Qualities Commend to public approval the California liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs.
