Trou- ble Iiimdent to Glrllioodâ€"Elcr Case Critical-flow She Found Release. 'From the Kcmptville Advance. One of the best known men in the county «of Grenville and the adjacent county of Carleton, is Mr. Hugh Brownlee, of Kempt- ville. Mr. Brownlee was born in Carleton county in the year 1334, and until about five years ago resided in the township of North Gower. Having by industry and good business ability acquireda competence be determined to retire from the somewhat laborious life of a-farmer, and taking up his abode in a beautiful home in the'villagc ~of Kemptville, has since continued to mimic here. It is well known to Mr. Brownlee’s friends and acquaintances that he has Butlered for years from Sciatica of a. violent form, audit has lately been understood that he has at last been relieved from the pangs of this excruciating disease. Recently while in conversation with Mr. Brownlee, a re- porter of the Advance asked him to give his experience for the benefit of other suf- ferers, which he gladly consented to do. “ You are aware,” said Mr. Brownlee, “that most of my life has been spent-upon a farm,and in addition to farming I follow- ed the business of buying cattle, sheep and lambs. In doing so‘ I was exposed to all sorts of weather and over exertion, which brought an severe attacks of sciatica. 1 suffered for about ten years, trying all sorts of powerful remedies, but without doing me a particle of good. During the long period of suffering I was deprived of much sleep and many a night I tumbled about in bed nearly all night long suffering the most ex- cruciating pains. In fact I was rapidly approaching the condition of a chronic cripple. I had tried so many remedies that I was becoming discouraged, and almost despaired of obtaining relief. While in this condition I was_induced totry Dr. VVill- iams’ 'Piuk Pills. ;I took the pills for some time Without any noticeable results, but feeling as if they were a last resort I con- tinued their use. Then came a slight change for the better, and every day added to my steady improvement, until now after the use of about eighteen boxes I am nearly as well as over 1 was, being almost entirely free from pain. I am still using Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills and feel confident that my cure will be permanent. You may be sure that I am grateful for what Pink l’ills have done 'for me and I am only too glad 'to bear testimony to their merit. Indeed I be- lieve they are deserving of every good thing that can be said of them.” Mrs. Erownlee was present and said that she, too, could vouch for the beneficial efiects derived from the use of Pink Pills. She had suffered for nearly four years with terrible soreness and pains in the back of the head and neck, accompanied by fre- quent attacks of dizziness which caused great distress and inconvenience. Having ob- served the deneficial effects Pink Pills had upon her suffering husband, Mrs. Brownlce determined to try them, and from the out- set found relief, and after the use of four boxes found that the soreness was all gone .and for the past three months she had been almost entirely free from pain. She has the greatest confidence in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and believes them the greatest ‘medicine of the age. A YOUNG LADY’S EXPERIENCE. Having heard that Miss Delia Main, 3. ,young lady who lives with her parents not far from Mr. Brownlee’s residence, had also been greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills, the reporter next called upon her. Miss Main is a handsome young lady, eigh- teen years of age, with the glow of health in her cheeks. In reply to enquiries, Miss Main said that some two years ago she be- gan to be affected with weakness peculiar to many young girls. Her face was pale, she was troubled with heart palpitation, and the least exertion left a feeling of great tiredness. She had good medical treatment but without getting relief, and at last her condition became so bad that her parents and friends feared she was, going into a. decline and almost despaired of her re- covery. At this juncture Miss Main was induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which are an unfailing specific in cases of this kind. Having lost all confidence in medi- cine, Miss Main took Pink Pills irregularly at first, but finding that they were helping her she began to take them regularly ac- cording to directions. From this time out improvement in her case was steady and rapid, and after the use of a dozen boxes she found her health fully restored. “I believe,” said Miss Main, “that if it had not been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I would not be alive to-day, and I strongly recommend them to all girls who find them- selves in a condition similar to what mine was.” Miss Main’s mother was present and fully endorsed what her daughter said, adding that she believed Pink Pills had saved her life. Mr. Angus Buchanan, druggist, who is also reeve of the village, was asked if many Pink Pills are sold. His reply was that they had a larger sale than any 'inedioine, and still the demand steadily increases, which is the best evidence that Pink Pills area great remedy, and there «can be no question of the great g0od they accomplish. Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma- tism, nervous headache, the afier effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, restore the glow of health to pale and sallow 'com- plexions, and relieve the tired feeling re- sulling from nervous prostration; all diseases depending upon vitiated liumors in the blood, such a scrofula, chronic ery- sipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as sup- pressions, irregularities and all forms of Weakness. In the case of men they affect .s_. radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work or excesses of whatever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Brockville, 'Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in boxes covered with the firm's Wrapper .and trade mark, (nevsrin loose form by the do7en or hundred and the public are caution ed against numerous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.30, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams’ Medi- l cine Company from either address. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inex- pensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-oâ€"â€"â€"â€" A GRAVEYAIH) CUKIOSITY. Use of a Table as a Monument Over a ‘ Grave. One of the curiosities of “feet Linton, Peebleshire, Scotland, consisted in a marble tombstone in the parish churchyard over the grave of James Oswald of Spittal, a property among the Pentland hills, now in- cluded in the estate of Newhall. Oswald possessed a hall table of marble, at which he conducted his festivites. He desired it might be used as the monument over his grave, and with this View caused an inscrip- tion in Latin to be executed on the table by way of epitaph, which came into use sooner than was expected. When going out to shoot wild ducks at Slipperlield loch Mr. Oswald was acciden t- ally shot by his servant, who was walking behind him with his gun, and he thus died While still a. young man in 1726. His widow, a daughter of Russell at Kingseat, followed out his Wishes by placing the table over his grave. Subjoined is a translation of the epitaph, including the additions made to it by the bereaved wi"e : “To James Oswald of Spittal, her de- serving husband, this monument was cr- ected by Grizzel Russell, his sorrowing wife. “This marble table sitting at which I have often cultivated good living (propitiated my tutelar genius), I have desired to be placed over me when dead. Stop, traveller, who. ever‘ thou art ; here thou mayest recline and if the means are at hand niayest enjoy this table as I formerly did. . “ If thou dost so in the right and proper way thou wilt neither desecrate the monu- ment nor offend me. Farewell. 7:BLived thirty years and died Nov. 28, l u .1) ’ p This curious monument, after falling to ruin, ultimately disappeared from the bury- ing ground, having, it is said, been furtively carried off and sold for its value as a block of marble. COST OF BEINGA PRINCE. lungs and other Royul Travellers Being Scarce, They Pay High for Everything. There have been times when a court was splendid and nearly starving, and kings were magnificent who could have under- stood the position and felt the pride of the master of Ravenswood ; but, according to the London Spectator, all that has paSsed away, probably forever. The prince of to- day who is to be magnificent at all, who is to be free in his movements, to take trains when he likes, to entertain like any other dignitary, to show good horses and many of them, to keep servants sufficient to se- cure that guests accustomed to luxury be not neglected, to travel when he pleases, to patronize art, to encourage charity and to live when necessary among equal princes as becomes the nation he represents, must pay away money at every turn and always be ready with more. Everything costs; from the special train which secures punc- tuality and freedom from pressure, to the rooms which loyal or hospitable crowding render exceptionally dear. It is all very well to speak of good management, and, of course, there is such a. thing, and it is worth perhaps 30 per cent. of addition- al income. But no extent of good manage- ment will reduce the cost of any kind of magnificence, and do away with the feeling of the innkeeper who charged a. royal guest a franc apiece for eggs, not because eggs were scarce, but because kings were. We have heard of charges paid by an Indian Viceroy at a Paris hotel which would have made Mr. Vanderbilt wince, and there is not an uneducated man in any land who, if a prince disputes his charges, does not become thenceforward a republican. Nor, within limits, is this feeling altogether unreasonable, for the demands of princes, which are usually only demands for free- dom, upset the usual routine, just as the queen’s train though her majesty asks only a little extra security and some privacy, upsets the routine traffic on the great rail- way by which she travels. Moreover, though extravagance is a vice, economy is often a foible, and one rather sympathizes with the hint given by the noble who assist- ed Louis Philippe in his search after a lost so vereign by lighting a bank notc. State in fact, in our day costs money, and itis as ex pensive to be a. prince, if you live as a p rince, as to be a spendthrift heir. Sultan F Lyiul . Sultan Faysul, Imam of M uscat, is a very young man, not much over twenty. He was greatly interested to see us, for we were the first English travellers who had visited him since his accession. \Ve caught him peeping at us over the balcony as we passed through the courtyard below, and he was at the top of a ladder, up which we had to clamber to the gallery, ready to welcome us. He seized our hands and shook them warm- ly, and then led us with much ellusion to his khawah, a long room just over the sea, which is his reception and throne room. Here we found tall cane-bottomed chairs around the walls. And at one end a red chair, which is the throne, just beneath two grotesque pictures of our Queen andthc Prince Consort, such as one would buy for a penny at a fair. They are looked upon as objects of great value here, and act as fit- ting symbols of our protectorate. The Imam fed us with sweets and coffee, asked us innumerable questions, and seemed full of boyish fun. Certainly, with his tur- ban and blue~and-red checked cotton, which would have been a housemaid’s cluster at home, his faded greenish-yellow cloak, fastened round his slender waist with a red girdle, .lie looked anything but a King. As we were preparing to depart, the young monarch grew apparently very uneasy and shouted something to his attendant impa- tiently, and when he came in, Faysul hur- ried to him, seized four little gilt bottles of attcr of roses, thrust two of them into each of our pockets, and the audience was at an end. »â€"--w-=uâ€"~ocm At Leuctra Epaminondas broke the Spar- lan phalanx by forming his troops into a deep column and attacking one wing of the Spartans, breaking it, then wheeling his ranks, and thus outflanking the Spaitan line. “A Back Number." This is the slighting remark that is often applied to women who try to seem young, though they no longer look 50. Sometimes appearances are deceitful.
