Halo Bellefln n Slmple Wayâ€"The alon Corrobornted by Reliable Witnesses Orangcvillc Pest. For several months The Post, in common with many other journals of Ontario, has been publishing accounts of miraculous cures in various parts of Canada and the United States. We must confess, however, that we have paid little or no attention to these reported miracles, and probably our indif- ference would have continued to the end had it not been for a little accident that oc- curred in our office when W'ashburn's circus was in ()rangeville a few weeks ago, Mr. Stewart Mason, a respectable young farmer of Albion township, called at our cities on business on that occasion, and as he was leaving we happened to ask himâ€"a. course generally pursued by the newspaper man in search of newsâ€"if thermwns anything new in his vicinity. He replied that there was nothing very startling and followed this up by asking us if we had heard of the wonder- ful cure of a man named Hewitt at Mono Mills. We confessed ignorance, and then Mr. Mason said that from what he had heard it was undoubtedly another miraculous cure through the agency of Dr. \Villiams' famous Pink Pills. We had become so thoroughly imbued with the idea. that the various details of miracles in other parts were only a new and catching fake in the booming of patent medicines that we must admit Mr. Mason’s intimatitn of a genuine local cure at once excited ourinterest. W'e took a note of the name and, quietly made up our mind to investigate the matter at our earliest convenience. We came to the conclusion that there must be something in it, for Mr. Mason, arespe-ztablo and reliable young farmer, would not for a moment be suspected of equivocating on a matter in which he had any interest, much less in one which did not concern him. A few days ago The Post despatcheda representative to Mono Mills to make a full investigation of the alleged cure of George Hewitt. He first called on Mr. John Aldous, proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, and after a few usual preliminaries asked him ifvhe knew a man named Hetht, in the village. “Is that the old man that wasn’t able to move a short time ago, and is now getting all right so fast?” queried Mr. Aldous. The report- er nodded asseut, and in less time than it takes to tell it the quilldriver and the oblig- ing Mr. Aldous were on their way to the neat and comfortable home of Mr. Samuel Benson,with when itwss learned Mr.Hew- itt resided. TheJSenson home isin the east- ern suburb of the village and upon the re- porter and Mr. Aldous calling, they were courteously received by the busy house- wife, who was not too busy, however, to spare time retell The Postall about her interesting boarder and his miraculous cure. Mr. Benson was not at home, and The Post at once suspected that a gentle- man between 50 and 60 years, who occu- pied a chair in a. corner of the cosy room, was no other than the famous Geo. Hewitt. The surmise proved correct. Mr. Hewitt shook hands with the scribe, remarking as he did so: “I could not have taken hold of your hand a few months ago.” \Vhen the object of the visit was announced, Mr. Hewitt, who is an intelligent, well educated man, began to dilate iu‘ glowing terms on the wonderful change that had come over him. “Shall I tell you the whole story?” asked he of the reporter, and upon the latter intimating his desire to hear all, Mr. Hewitt gave him the following nar- rative : HE. IIEWI’I‘T'B WONDERFUL STORY. “In old Ireland, thirty years ago, I was scaling a stone wall one day when I fell backward and had my spine in'ured so seriously that a short time later became almost entirely disabled. The fatal effects of the fall were gradually but only too rapidly felt, and looking back on a stretch of tune extending five years ovor a quarter of a century, there is little more in the prospect than a picture of pain and gloom and suffering. About twenty-eight years ago I came to Canada and am known around the csuntry here for miles. Until twelve years ago I could sit on a chair when placed on it, and manage to move myself around a little. Then even that comfort was sudden- ly taken from me. One day I was uninten- tionally thrown off the chair, and the second full may be said to hare done all but end my life. There was not a ray of hope forme, not a sign of a break in the dark clouds. Ever since then my pitiablc condition is known to every one in these parts. All power to use either armsor hands, legs or feet, com~ pletely left me. I could be propped upright in a chair, but somethmg had to be put in front of me to keep me from fallin vforward. Uusually a chair like this," an as Mr. Hewitt spoke he lifted and drew forward a chair which was near him. “ was placed in front of me and on this I would rest my arms. Not only had all power left in limbs, but every feeling likewise. Why you could run a needle right into my flesh and I would'not'know what you were doing unless I saw the act. A myriad of fliesl might light and revel on me, but I would be in happy ignorance of the fact. When I; was laid in bed I could not get up or move l unaided if I was given all creation. The only part of my system in which any strength seemed to remain, was my neck, but at last even my head fell forward on my breast, and I was indeed a pitiuble sight. My voice. formerly as clear and ringing as it is to-dny, seemed to go like the strength and feeling from the restof me, and sometimes I would be scarcely able to make myself understood. I know you hear me with incredulity, for you can scarcely be- lieve that the helpless and homeless invalit » I have described is the man who now sits before you, cheery, vigorous and hopeful. . 0n the legs. which a short time ago wcrel he] less and seemed useless, I can now walk with a little assistance, heir. able last evening to go to my room wit my arm on Mrs. Benson's shoulder. Why, mm, a few months ago I could not do that on the promise of inherittn the kingdom of heaven." Hora Mr. cwitt stunped both feet on the floor with much vigor and enthusiasm. “ In those days," he resumed, _ “ If I- over wrote any- thing.“ was by placing tho‘handle of the pen tween m ' teeth and getting ail-oust, with the work a that way. Don't ask me ifl tried the best doctors. I spent a for- I : , tune, thousands of dollars, in trying to get. cured, I consulted physician alurphysician, 5" ion that this was a strikinginstance of great andl paid some of then-thigh fees for their services. They all felled, utterly and hope- lessly failed, to give me the slightest rc- licf. You can put that down in big block letters. 01’ course you have heard what has wrought this wonderful change in me. I read in The Post and other papers of the mimuinul cures effected by Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills, but I never dreamed that there was even a glimmer of hope for me through the use of this much advertised remedy. Miracles might be worked on every side of me, but there was no chance for me, I was like the doomed leper, a hopeless out- cast, a being whose sufferings and ldisabilities would end only with the period of earthly existence. One day I picked up a paper and read the Saratoga miracle,’tbat case where Mr. Qnant was so miraculously restored by the Pink Pills, and at once concluded to try the amazing cure on myself. There must be some chance for me, I thought, when a man who was as helpless as Mr. Quant got such relief. I ihad no money, but I sent for Mr. W. J. Mills, our popular and. kind hearted general merchant and postmaster, and he procured me a. supply of the Pink I’ills, and those I ; immediately commenced using with the joyful results I have described. My voice is fully restored, my head is upright once more, my chest (once so shrunk and hollow is rapidly filling up, I am quickly securing the use of my legs and arms, and can feel the slightest touch on any part of me. Is there note. miracle here, indeed, and would I not be a base ingrate if I refused to sound the praises of Dr. W'illiams’ Pink Pills '3 Even if I get no better than I am now I shall be forever grateful for what has been done for me. But I have great hope that the cure will go on until I am completely restored. I drove down to the village last twelfth of July. It was in April I com- menced using the pills, and the friends who I saw me could scarcely believe their eyes. It was like the appearance ofa spectre or an apparition. Oh, I tell you sir,” said the grateful man with enthusiasm, “it is my full intention to write a pamphlet on all that I have gone through, on all that has been done for me, and you may be sure that the chief prominence will be given to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They are a boon which cannot possibly be too widely known.” THE STORY connouonsrsn. The reporter could scarcely believe that Mr. Hewitt’s voice, new so silvery and res- onant, was ever the squeaky, feeble and indistinct organ of speech he had indi- cated, and the scribe questioned Mrs. Ben- son on this point. She said that every word Mr. Hewitt had related was lit- erally true, and on the question of the restoration of his voice she was corro- borated by Mr. Aldous, and other respect- able witnesses whom the reporter met in the village later in the day. ' Mr. Aldous said he was not surprised at the hesitancy of people about believing the wonderful cure. He did not think that he himself could credit it if he had not been an eye witness of the whole afi‘air. Mr. Hewitt for years, knew that his former utter helplessness was as he had'described, and either he had to say it was not Mr. Hewitt who sat before him or to admit the miraculous escape. “These pills,” said Mr. Aldous, “ are certainly a wonderful rem- edy.” . . The reporter shook hands with Mrs. Ben- son nnd the cheerful Mr. Hewitt, and start- ed forth into the street a. doubting Thomas no longer, first promising to transmit to the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co. Mrrmitt’s, lavish expressions of thanks for what their wonderful Pink Pills had done for him. “ Here we are ” thought the scribe, “ in the cold and practical nineteenth century, but; here’s something right here in this little village of Mono Mills mightily closely bor- dering on the miraculous all the some.” After leaving the Benson home the re- porter sought out Postmaster Mills, ,whom he found equally eloquent in his praise of the wonderful Pink Pills. " They’re cerfainly a great- remedy,” said he, “and anyone that doubts this has only to be told about George Hewitt’s case. IsupQ pose you have heard the whole story, and there’s no use in my wearyiug you. The pills have undoubtedly worked the amazing change that is to be noticed in Hewitt’s condition. It was I first sent for the pills for him, and I can certify to the striking change.” The reporter further learn- ed that the Pink Pills were kept for sale by Mr. Mills, ,and that the demand for them was large and increasing. The representa- tive of I‘he Post conversed with many other citizens of Mono Mills regarding Mr. Hewitt’s case and found all agreed on the question of his former condition, his restor- ation and the remedy. Everyone in and around the villago,in fact, appeared to know all about the curc,and Pink Pills seem to be a household word in that section. On the Post’s return to Orangeville Mr. Richard Allen, cx-warden for Dufl'erin county, drop- ped into our oflice. The ex-wnrden resides about three miles from Mono Mills,nnd was asked if he had heard anything about what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for Mr. Hewitt. He had heard all about the case, and was nnhcsituting in expressing the opin- results following the use of the pills. “I’m not much of a believer in wonderful cures I read about,”said the ex-wardcn, “but I have known Hewitt for years, and this chan e in him is certainly astounding.” The ost was surprised to hear that Dr. Williams’ l‘ink Pills were extensively used in this sec- tion, but after the Hewitt narrative it was not surprised to hear of great beneficial re- sults following the use of the great remedy. We are disposed to conclude from what some rtica told us, that the base imitation business is already entered upon by unprin- ciplcd persons, and the public will do well to 360 that the Pink they purchase have all the marks of ccnuineness advertiz- ed by the Dr. Willieuis' Medicine Com- Pany' . . . .

Bear in mind that Dr. “'illiams’ Pink Pills are never soldin bulk or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. Dr. \‘Villiams’ Pink Pills can 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 treat- ment comparatively inexpensive, as com- pared with other remedies or medical treat ment. A WONDERFUL SHOT- A Story Told by a French Paper but It Seems Almost Incredible. An extraordinary adventure lately befall a citizen of Apty, in the South of France. A Paris journal, in copying the story, ex- plains that occurrenccs of the kind never take place except in Southern France. But that is not true. For enter into any hunter‘s camp in the wild and wooly \Vest and you may hear yarns just as ingenious, and not a. bit more truthful than this. A hunter who has spent a considerable part of the day in an unsuccessful quest for game, and had discharged his shotgun many times Without result, caught sight, on his way home, of a superb pigeon well up in an. oadk tree, which grew on a. very steep hill- sr e. The hunter’s gun was charged with pow- der, but he was entirely out of shot. In this emergency, and resolving firmly that he would have the pigeon, he sat down on the ground, took out his pocket knife, and with it pulled several nails out of the soles of his shoe. With these he loaded his gun. The pigeon sat in his place. The hunter aimed, fired, and the pigeon was nailed to a lirauch of the oak tree with the shoe 118.1 s. ‘ The hunter was almost in despair,.seeing the game apparently fastened beyond his reach. But he climbed the tree, ascended with difficulty to the places where the pigeon hung,~and had just taken the bird offwhen he lost his footing and fell through the air. . As chance would have it, the hunter :landed in the midst ofa hare’s nest. He began to roll rapidly down the steep and slippery hillside;‘but before he did so he seized a large hare firmly by the hind legs. Rolling forward, the hunter slid plump into a covey'of partridge, and strikin about him with the bare he succeeded in illing nine of these admirable birds. He then picked himself up and took him- self homeward with his pigeon, his hare, and his partridges, well satisfied with the results of his shot. A BRAVE ALPINE GUIDE. Ile Prevents Ills Patron From Falling Into a Crevnssc Till llelp Arrives. It is a thrilling story of mountaineering that is told to illustrate the danger of mak- ing difficult ascents with a. single guide. A single guide could just preserve his equilis brium, but was quite unable to do more; he could only hold lovally by the rope and wait for the event. It: is difficult to con- ceive a. crueler situation or a more terrible responsibilityâ€"the very punishment devis- ed by Mezentiusm-and yet to decide upon cutting himself free ! , Fortunately, after about an hourâ€"but by the merest chanceâ€"another party came in sight upon the glacier, and the traveler was drawn up in time to save his life. If the rule is observed that at least three per- sons must be on the rope, no such danger. can ever occur. Though the idea Still-III]â€" gers that brandy keeps out the cold, the writer on mountaineering repeats that it has the opposite effect, and adds that as a cure for giddiness, alcohol'is also valueless. The broad path is the only remedy for gid- diness. Another which was once tried may be efiicacious enough, but is only mentioned, without being recommended, in the follow- ing story : A party of four were entering on a narrow ledge, when one of the travelers declared that he was giddy and could not move. The leader, one of the two most famous Oberland men of the time, (nearly thirty years ago,) merely turned to the second guide with the brief command: “Push him over.” His orders were always beyond question, and the traveler was straightway lowered over the precipice and, after-dangling on the rope for a few seconds, was drawn back with all his powers of climbing restored. A. Hopeless Minority- A well-known Congregational minister was one day preaching as usual, when a half-intoxicated soldier strolled in, and having secured a. seat, sank into it and was soon fast asleep. The preacher, in the course of his sermon, declared that all men intended to reform in the future, however careless they might be in the present, and wishing to drive home the point he was making he asked all of his congregation who hoped to go to heaven to stand. The whole congregation, with the ex- ception of the sleeping soldier, immediately rose. “ New,” continued the preacher, “ will you please take your seats and will these who intend to go to everlasting punishment rise '3” His request was so far complied with that all his hearers resumed their seats. The soldier, who had been sufficiently awakened by the first movement to under- stand that something unusual was going on, now staggered to his feet. The people gazed at him with horrified wonderment, while he, looking around with tipsy gravity,“ length leaned for- ward and addressed the minister : “ Well, person, I don’t quite know what subject we are yoting on, but you and I seem to be in «hopeless minority.” Lieutenant Thorpeâ€""Wore you resent when Moynell died ?
