A Constant Surfer-er for Store Than Five' )‘ean- llrr Blood land ‘l‘nrurd to Water ~l'hyslrians Held out no Hope of Her Recoveryâ€"flow Her life Wu Saved-A \Voudrrful Story. From the St. Thomas Jourdal. “The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them." Such is a verse of holy writ made familiar to very many residents of St. Thomas by the Well~known evangelist, Rev. J. H. Hunter. In letters of gold on the stained glass fanlight over the door of his residence, No. “3 Wellington street, is the text “ Psalm xxxtv, 7. "’ Though we live in an age noted for its energetic, zealous Christian endeavor, this idea of Mr. Hunter’s to impress the truths of the scriptures upon those who read though they run, is altogether so original and so novel that it at once excites the curiosity. Those not familiar with the text make a mental note of it, and at the first opportunity look it up. This is just what was done by a representative of the Journal, who had occasion to visit Mr. Hunter’s residence the other day. But with the object of the visit and the information obtained the reader will be more concerned. The reporter was assigned to investigate amarvellous cure said to have been effected in the case of a younglady employed in Mr. Hunter’s family, by that Well-known and popular remedy, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. And it was a wonderful story that the young lady had to tell,and is undoubtedly as true as it is wonderful. Last June the same re~ porter intervxcwed Mrs. John Cope, wife of the tollgate-keeper on the London and Port Stanley road, who had been cured by Pink Pills of running ulcers on the limbs after years of suffering, and after having been given up by a number of physicians. The old lady had entirely recovered, and- coulrl not say too much in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which had given her a new lease of life. As it was with Mrs. Cope, so it was with Miss Edna. Harris, the young lady in the employ of Mr. Hunter’s family who has been restored to health and strength by Pink Pills. Miss Harris has just passed her twentieth year, and is a daughter of George Harris, who lives at Yarmouth Heights, and is employed by Geo. lloucher, florist and plantsman. “ I believe Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills saved my life, and I am quite willing that everyone should know it,” was the reply of Miss Harris when asked if she had been benefited by Pink Pills, and if so would she make public her story. Continuing, she said, “ When I was twelve or thirteen years of age I was first taken sick. The doctors said my blood had all turned to water. For five years I suffered terribly, and was so weak that I could barely keep alive. It was only my grit and strong will, the doctors said, that kept me alive at all. If I tried to stand for a short time, or if I got the least bit warm I would fall over in a faint. My eyes were white and glassy, and I was so thin and pallid that everyone believed I was dying of consumption. During the five years I was‘ ill, I was at- tended by five physicians in St. Thomas, two in Detroit, one in London and one in Ayliner, and none of them could do any- thing for me. I was so far gone that they had no hopes of my recovery. Towards the last my feet and limbs swelled so they had to be bandaged to keep them from bursting. They were bands ed for three months, and my whole ody was swollen and bloated, and the doctors said there was not a pint of blood in my body, and they held out no hopes whatever. Two years ago I saw in the Journal abcut a man in Hamilton being cured by taking Pink Pills. I thought if they could cure him they would help me, and I decided to try them. Before I had finished three boxes I felt relieved; the swelling went down and the bandages were removed. I continued taking Pink Pills until I had taken seven boxes, then irregu- larly I took three more, one of which Mr. Hunter-brought back from Brockville. I am perfectly cured. I have not been ill a single day since I finished the seventh box of pills. I came to Mrs. Hunter‘s a year ago, and she will tell you I have never been ill a day since coming here, and I always feel strong and able to do the work. I can and do strongly recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,” said Miss flarrisin conclusion. Her appearance is certainly that of a strong, healthy young woman. Mrs. J. E. Hunter, wife of the evange- list, told the reporter that Miss Harris was t good, reliable and truthful girl, and that perfect reliance could be placed in her statements. “ She looks like a different girl from what she was when she came here a year ago,” said Mrs. Hunter. ' The facts above related are important to parents, as there are many young girls just budding into womanhood whose condition is, to say the least, more critical than their parents imagine. Their complexion is pale and waxy in appearance, troubled with heart palpitation, headaches, shortness of breath on the slightest exercise, faintness, and other distressing symptoms which in- variably lead to a premature grave unless prompt steps are taken to bring about a natural condition of health. In this emcr- genoy no remedy yet discovered can supply the place of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which build anew the blood, strengthen the nerves and restore the low of health to pale and aallow cheeks. They are certain cure for all troubles peculiar to the female system, young or old. Pink Pills also cure such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor axtaxia, St. \‘itus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostra~ tion, the after effects of la grippe, and severe colds, diseases depending on homers in the blood, such as scrcfula, chronic ery- sipclas, etc. In the case of men they effects radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses. Dr. \Viliisms' Pink Pills are sold only in . boxes bearing the iirm's trade mark. They l are never sold in bulk, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying fol defraud and should be avoided.

Paris correspo eat, a peasant living in the neighborth of Saint~Brieuc was trimming a hedge in one of his fields when be perceived a piece of cord one end of which was attached to a bush while the other disappeared in the. ground. He gave s. long and strong pull, and presently a bag revealed itself, which on examination, proved to be crammed with of. pieces. Continuing his work with fresh alacrity, the man speedily came upon an- other bit of string, and this time the buried bag proved to be full of gold pieces. Soon afterwards a third bag was unearthed under similar circumstances. The peasant took the treasure home, and kept his discovery secret: but not long afterwards be invested a goodly sum in the savings bank, and bought himself a suit of clothes, a hat, and a watch. As the man was known to be in rather straightened circumstances this sud- den display of what to a person in his posi- tion was comparative wealth excited a great deal of notice, and a day or two ago the whole riddle was solved. In the Village dwelta worthy dame who had adopted this very primitive method of depositing her available capital. ' A firm believer in the principle of the “long stocking,” she had buried the bags in the peasant’s hedge, and after a visit to some relatives she had re- turned only to find that her treasure had disappeared. Her cries and lamentations attracted attention and commiscration as well, and the police were soon holding an investigation into the affair. The peasant, who had fondly imagined that his fortune was made for life, has not only been com- elled to restore the money, but will pro. liany have to answer for his conduct in a. court of justice.

A Toronto despatch says :â€"John Coulter, a farmer hailing from near found dead in bed at the Kerby House, Queen and William streets, on Thursday.

At 11.35 pm. Mr. John Cuthbert, the manager of the hotel, conducted him to his room and instructed him in the mysetries of the gas jet. replied, "I understand it all, I have travel- ed round the world 1” to call him at7 a.in. As uoresponse was'given to his call, Mr. Cuthbert stepped into the room only to find it‘ filled with gas. Throw- ing open the window he attempted to rouse Coulter and finding his efforts vain, Dr. Macdonald was called, but Coulter had been dead for several hours. Mr. Adam Coulter, a brother of deceased, took charge of the remains. He expressed surprise at his brother’s death, as he had been so so- customed to travelling. It is thought that Coulter accidentally touched the jet after having turned out the light. Coulter was 40 years of age and unmarried. A valuable gold watch and nearly Si.) in cash were found in his pockets. 5 Zeal Rewarded. Some years a o a. gang of young fellows in the West of reland, hearing so much of the smartncss of cockneys, subscribed .amoug themselves, and started off one of their number, named Pat, Murphy, to Lon. don to learn a few “unifi's.” - Pat reached Dublin, took the wrong boat, of course, and arrived at Liver- pool. ' He went into a blacksmith’s ‘shop to light his pipe. The furrier guessed where he came from and asked “What brought you over 2” Pat explained, whereupon the blacksmith said : “Why go to London when you can learn as many “quifi's” here. I’ll show you one now." “Fire away," says Murphy. The smith then ut his hand against tk’: wall, and told the rishman to strike it.’ Pat hit out. The blacksmith pulled his hand away, and the former knocked the skin off his knuckles. “That’s good enough for me," exclaimed Murphy. “Here's off back to the old coun- tr .” yI‘ho day after arriving home he gathered all his chums in a field, and told a young giant named Mike to take offhis coat and tuck up his sleeves. . Pat then glanced round for a wallâ€"not one in sight. Then fora treeâ€"none there. “Never mind,” says he placing the back of his hand against the side of his own head : “Mike, strike that l” The latter let drive very hard, Pat drew his hand away, and shortly afterwards was on his road home on the door of his own cabin . â€"â€"â€"â€"__._______. Railway Through the Sea. An interesting experiment is about to be carried out at Brighton, Eng. A marine railway will connect Brighten with the little village of Rottondon. The rails will be laid on solid rock with a car, and at high water will be covered with the sea, which, however, will not affect the carriages, as the latter are to be supported on framework raising them above the level of the water. At this part of the coast the cliffs are high and the beach inaccessible, so that no boating will be interfered with. The cars are to be moved by electricity. (,Safe, Sure, and Painless.

May 1.â€"A case that is creating a great flutter among the medical dove-cots is that of Nellie Tailor, whose parents reside on Powieton avenue. Miss Tailor is a pretty brunette with red cheeks and a smile that would set the heart of the sternest reporter fluttering in two seconds. The facts of the case are sooner told in her own words. “ Three years ago,” she said, “ my father moved from the country into Philadelphia. Idetermined to seek some employment, not wishing to be a burden on the family. I obtained employment in Wannamaker’s store and I had not been long there, when the indoorwork began to tell on me. I lost the color in my cheeks and Igrew pale and thin. My food did not agree with me and I had a headache all the time. I finaly grew so ill that I had to quit work. The doctor was called in and he said that I was suffering from chronic dyspepsia and- habitual constipation and he gave me very little hope of recovery. He gave me several doses that nearly doubled me up with pain but gave no permanent relief. Finally I was that ill that food would only stay on my stomach for a couple of hours. After eating I would suffer from dizziness, and I would see everything double. Then a terrible headache would set in, followed by vomit- ing and pain. I tried a. lot of medicines of different kinds but they did me no good. At last a. friend advised me to take Schiller’s Sarsapsrilla Pills. 1 followed his advice, and much to the wonder of my friends I beganto recover at once. Ten boxes of Scliiller’s Sarsaparilla Pills have completely cured me. My mother was completely run down nursing me and Schill. et’s Sarsaparilla Pills have cured her also.” Know your own mind.
