i. 1 _-( A llLEllGABBY MIRACLE. fir. James Sands’ Wonderful Bes- toratlon to Health. - o After Three Years of Paralysis lnsensl- bllliy. and Uselessneu. lle Tells the Tale of Ills Recovery and Renewed ‘York In the Worldâ€"Ills Story as Tom a Free Press Reporter. 011'va Fuss Paras. The town of Alexandria, some 55 miles south of the city of Ottawa, on the Canada Atlantic Railway, has been completely as- tonished, recently, at the marvellous ex- perience of a young man, who, after hav- . ing been bed-ridden for nearly twelve months, and his case pronounced incurable by Montreal and Alexandria. doctors, is now restored to complete health and strength. Mr. James Sands is ayoung teamstcr, well known and extremely popular through- out the country side, and his illness and wonderful recovery have beenâ€"indeed still areâ€"the chief topics in the town and neighborhood. The story of his miraculous cure having reached Ottawa, a member of The Free Press staff journeyed to Alexandria and sought out Mr. Sands for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the statements made regarding his recovery. Mr Sands is a slimly built, but wiry-looking young man of about 32 years of age, and when met by the newepaper man the bloom of health was on his cheek and his whole frame show- ed signs of unimpaired vigor and vitality. The newspaper man told Mr. Sands the . object of his visit, and the latter expressed his perfect willingness to ive all the facts connected with his case. “ was,"said Mr. Sands, “ a complete wreck, given up by the doctors, but now I am well and strong again, and gaining strength every day. I was born in Lancaster in 1860, and up to three years ago I was always healthy and strong, living in the open air and being well-known throughout the whole county of Glen arry. It was in the winter of 1838-89 that first felt signs of incipient paralysis I was then teamster for the sash and door factory here, and had been exposed to all kinds of Weather. I then experienced violent twisting cramps in my right hand. I was in Cornwall that winter wlen the first stroke fell, and remained there for three days before I knew anybody at all. A medical man was called in but could do nothing for me. After that I came home and appeared to get all right for a time, but after a few days the old trouble began again, my hand continuing the twitching and cramping that had preceded the stroke. Up to twelve months ago these‘ twitching fits were the only symptcms I suffered from. Then in August, 1891, when I was in Huntingdon village I sustained a second stroke, and remained unconscious for about seven hours. A doctor attended me and I recovered sufficiently to be brought home. Af or my return home the paralysis steadily gained on me, and I lost the use of my right arm and leg entirely ; my right eye was dis- torted and my tongue partially paralyzed. I was prescribed for by an Alexandria phy- sician, whose treatment I carefully follow- ed, but it had no effect. I still got steadily worse, and about a month before Christmas last, I went to the English hospitalat Mont- real. l’rof. Stuart and all the doctors came around me, as mine was a curious case, and the professor treated me. All the doctors could give me no satisfaction and did not appear to understand my case. I questioned some of them, but they told me it was a hopeless case. I remained in the hospital a. month, without the least improvement, and was then brought home, and remained in my bed till M ay day. Ihad constant medi- cal advice, but continued to grow worse and worse. My right arm withered and I grew so weak and useless that I could not turn myself in bed. Meantime I had tried all sorts of patent medicines without the least effect. In May I saw on advertisment of Dr. Williams’ Pink l‘ills in the papers, and said I would try them as a last resort. I had heard of the wonderful cures worked by Pink l’ills, and told my folks to get me some. I had not taken them long when I found ninelf improving,and this determined meto continue their use. My strength graduâ€" ally returned, the muscles of my arm and leg became invigorated and stronger, and I was able to sit up. I still continued taking the l’ills and gaining strength. until at last I was able to go about, and finally to re- turn to my old place at the sash and door factory. I gave up the Pills for a while, but did not- feel so well, so I again began their use. I now feel as well as ever. thouin perhaps not quite so strong as formerly. You can see my right arm, which was withered, is now all right," and Mr. Sands stretched out a muscular limb, which would have done credit to a blacksmith. In reply to the reporter Mr. Sands said he thought his trouble had been brought on through cs pesnro to the weather. “ I am completes ly satisfied," said he, “ that- it is entirely to Dr. \Yillinms' l‘ink Pills that I owe my wonderful restoration. Besides the medical treatment I had tried electricity and patent medicines, both internal and external, but without the slightest avail. After begin- ning Pink Pills I began to mend, and they have made a new man or me.” The newxpaper man then called on Messrs. Ostrom Bros. & Co., widely known druggists. and interviewed their represen- tative. Mr. Smith. as to his knowledge of the case. Mr. Smith was fully conversant with the facts. and vouched for the story told by Mr. Sands, and further said, that his hopeless case and remarkable recovery are known throughoutGlengarry County. In reply to the query if many of Dr. \Villianis' l‘ink Pills are sold. Mr. Smith replied that the sale was ririurkablc and that in his ex. pericnee he had never handled a remedy that sold so well. or gave such general sat. infection to those using them. as every- where glowing reports are heard of the ex- cellent results following their use. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a patent medi- cine in the sense that word is understood. They are the result of years of experience and careful investigation. They are not a ,purgativo medicine. but act directly upon the blood and nerves, sup lying these con- stituents required to enric the former and stimulate and restore the latter. For all diseases depending upon a vitiated condition of the blood or shattered nerves, they new unfailing remedy. Such diseases «these speedily yield to their treatment: Locomokr Ataxia. partial paralysis, St. Vitus“ dance. neuralgia. rheumatism, sci» tics, nervous prostraticn. nervous headache, gispepll‘, chma‘c erysipelas. scrofula. etc. a l i E to females. correcting irregularities, and restoring the functions, and in the case of men effect a radical cure in all cases arising from overwork, mental worry or excesses of any nature. In fact it may be said of them “ They conic as a boon and a blessing to men Restoring to health, life and vigor again.” These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Brockville, (lot, 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 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. Williams’ 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. Profitable Poultry- An observing farmer writes :â€"â€"Many have at this date, several late broods of chickens that they are desirous of forcing so that they Wlll have size and stamina. to with- stand the rigors of a long winter. Isolate such from the older broods and give them especial care. It is common practice to withhold the morning feeding of the hens until the other chores have been performed. The fowls in the meantime have left their masts and are wondering among the dewy grass of September, in search of bugs and worms. This is wrong ; especially with the late broods, for they are not strong-enough to withstand having their plumage sopping wet so long before the sun is high enough to dry them. \Vith the older fowls. per- haps there is little danger, but with the late broods there is great danger that you will fetch up at the first of November, With a lot of chicks running at the nose. These late broods should of course have exercise, but give itto them after they have had a morning feed of some flesli-and-bone-form- inggrains. confining them until the sun has dried off the grass. These young chicks should have at least four meals a day, the first one quite early in the morning, say sun- rise, the next at 10 a.m. next 3 p. in, and the last just before sunset. Let them gain stamina by having a good run among the bushes during theday butlead them to expect that at the above hours they will receive a feed near their house. Confinement never agrees with young chicks; they must have an unlimited run ; they will then frolic and fight among themselves, and obtain all mineral and animal matter necessary. Their coops at night should be perfectly dry, free from lice, and supplied with abun- dance of fresh air. There is probably no one thing that keeps chicks back in their growth like lice. You cannot be too care- ful about lice. ' Another thing, don’t keep too many of these late hatched chickens in one flock, and above all don’t keep a stunted, wizened chick among the flock; all such should have their necks wrung. Their weakness will furnish a good point for the attacks of dis- case, which will contaminate the healthy members of the flock. In the fall of the year good results can be got by putting a few crystals of copperss (sulphate of iron,) in their drinking water. There is something about these crystals that gives young chicks a. ravenous appetite; and good health is shown by the deep red color of their tiny combs. N When the “ hen fever” first struck me. it was along about the midule of August. I scoured the country around for several miles in search of young chicks. Some 150 were not together by the middle of Sep- tember, and such a motly crowd they were â€"a broken-breasted, bob-tailed, imishapen lot. I took anything any body would sell. About the firstof Noveniberif I didn’t “have a circus.” Croup struck in, and I-was the laughing stock of the whole family, yes, and. the neighborhood ; every remedy mention- ed I tried ; out I would go to the hen-coop, (if you could call it that.) after they had got to roost and down their gullets I would force this or that medicine. I was fairly loosing flesh myself in my zeal to cure my large family of chicks. But all to no availâ€"a few “ threw up the sponge ” every day. By chance I got hold of an Engliin work that informed me of the good effects of copperas. 1 fed it but three days when the mortality began to decrease, and when the February sun had commenced to shed its warmth, I had succeeded in pulling through about fifty chicks, and by the first of May I my first egg was laid. l i 1 This experience was a good lesson; it taughtnic never to enter winter, yes, in fuctlute fall, quarters, with a chick that was lacking in vigor, and to prevent that I have pruc tviied taking especial care of late hatched chicks in their chickenhcod. â€"..._â€"â€"..â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" A SERIOUS AFFAIR. Fight Between Nuvvlcs and Military tn the CongoStaua ‘ A London despatch says :â€"â€"A despatch from St. Paul dc Loandn, the capital of the Portuguese provinces of Angola, “'est Africa. tells of a serious afl‘i‘ay in which a number of persons were killed and wounded. Two hundred and fifty navvics who were intended to be used in the building of the Congo railway arrived at Bonia. They re- fused to go ashore to be forwarded to their destination, unless the Congo authorities should oceanic to the terms of employment which the navvics demanded and about which there was some misunderstanding. The Governor boarded the steamer and urged the navvies to go ashore and proceed totheir work. The navvics received the Governor with angry demonstrations. and flourished revolvers with which they threat- cned to shoot him. The Governor summon. ed 50 soldiers to the steamer and again ordered the navvies to go ashore. The lat- ter replied with shouts of defiance. The soldiers attempted to force the men to land, whereupon the latter fired upon the mili- tary. The soldiers also fired and a cneral fusilsde commenced. The navvies id not yield until three of them. and a enger not concerned in the conflict, had on kill- ed, and 12 navvies wounded, some of whom are likely to die. The survivors then con- seated to go ashore. The affray will un- doubtedly lead to an investigation as to the methods of obtaining labor for the Congo state.

The child is taught at school that a dozen means twelve every time, but when the child grows into a man he finds that a dozen is a very elastic term. A baker’s dozen is thirteen, and so is a publisher's or a news- agent’s in many parts of the world. In some sections a dozen of fish means twenty six, and there are other anomalies of this kind. But to find a dozen indicating anything from two to fifty, it is neccessary to go to the , earthenware trade. Here the size and weight of articles decides how many makes. dozen, and in jugs, bowls, plates, and so on there are two, four, six, eight, or more to the dozen. A dozen composed of twelve articles is a very unusual thing in the whole- sale pottery trade, and as a result there are few clerkships more difiicult to hold than in this line. I tried the work once and failed ignominiously.
