. .. 'il‘HE GRIPPE EPIDEMIU. Cholera ‘ Hedlcal Science Powerless to Prevent its lnervous and badly used up. I sufi‘ered almost continually with terrible headaches, backache and pains through the body. ltried many remedies without receivrng any : lbenefit until I began the use of Dr. \Vill- '1 Scourge More to be Dreaded Than liams’ Pink Pills, and the use of seven boxes has made me feel like a_ new man, as I am now as strong as I was before my sickness. I can heartily recommend them to others so ‘ , Spreadâ€"it is Again. Sweeping over lamlct‘e‘i" Canada With Great Severityâ€"flow its Evil Effects can Best he Countcracledâ€" Only Prompt Measures can Ensure Safety. It is stated on high medical authority .that an epidemic of la grippe is more to be feared than an outbreak of cholera. The latter disease can be controlled, and where sanitary precautions are observed the danger can be reduced to the minimum. But not so with 13. grippe. Medical science has not yet fathomed its mysteries, and is powerless to prevent its spread. Three years ago an epidemic of la grippe swept over this country, leaving death and shat- tered constitutions in its wake, and now once moreit has appeared in epidemic form; not so severe, perhaps, as on the former occasion, but with sufficient violence to cause grave alarm, and to warn the prudent to take prompt measures to resist its in- roads. When, a few months ago, it was an- nounced that cholera had broken out in Grimsby, one of England’s important sea- ports, it was feared that it would reach this continent, yet this once dreaded scourge was checked and exterminated With a loss of not more than half a dozen lives. That la-grippe is more to be dread- ed than cholera is shown by the fact that in London last week upwards of a hun- dred_ deaths were due to this trouble, and medical science is powerless to prevent its.spread, and can do not-hing more than relieve those stricken with the disease. At the present moment thousands of Cana- dians .are suffering from 1a grippe and the misery it is causing would be diffi- cult to estimate. Even when the immediate symptoms of the disease dis- appear it too frequently leaves even the most robust constitution shatter- ed. The after effects of la grippe are perhaps more dangerous than the disease itself, and assume many forms, such as extreme nervousness, distressing head- aches, pains in the back, loss of appetite, depresSiou of spirits, shortness of breath on slight exertion, swelling of the limbs, an indisposition to exertion, a feeling of con- stant tiredness, partial paralysm and many other distressing symptoms. In removing _ of la grippg, or for fortify- ing the system to withstand its shock, no 'remedy has met with as great success as the after effects Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They rebuild the - blood, restore shattered nerves, and place the sufferer in a condition of sound health. In proof of these statements we reproduce a few letters speaking in the strongest and most positive terms as to the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in cases of of la grippe or influenza. Mr. George Rose, Rednersville, Ont., “lays :.â€"f‘I am well to-day and do not hesi- tate givmg Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills the credit of saving my life. I had three at- tacks of la grippe and wasso reduced in flesh and strength I could hardly stand alone. I had no appetite. I could not sleep because my legs and feet became badly swollen and cramped. The pain was at times so violent that I could not refrain from screaming, and I would tumble about in bed and long for day to come. If I attempted to get up and walk I was apt to fall from dizziness. I took medicine from the doctor, but it did not help me, and I was so discouraged I Icould live more than a few months, when one day I read in the paper did not think of the cure of a man whose symptoms were like mine. I sent for a box of Pink Pills, and by the time it was gone there was an improvement. Icontinued the use of the pills,’found that I could now get a good nights sleep, and the cramps and pains which had formerly made my life miserable had disappeared, and I felt better than I had in . four years. I know that it Was Pink Pills that brought about the change because I was taking nothing else. I have taken in all seven boxes, and I feel as good now as I did at forty years of age.” Capt. James McKay, Tiverton. N. S., says :â€"“I had is grippe about three vcars ago and that tied me up pretty well: . I wasn t fit to take charge of a ship, so sailed south as far as Milk River, Jamaica, as nurse for an invalid gentleman. The weather was simply melting, and I usad to lie on the deck at night, and in my weak- ened condition got some sort of fever. Vhen I reached home I was completely used up and continued to get worse until I could hardly move about. At times my limbs would become numb with a tingling sensation as though a thousand needles were being stuck into me. Then my eye- sight begannto fail. It was difficult for me to distinguish persons at a distance. My face became swollen and drawn, and my eyes.almost closed. The doctors could do nothing for me. I suffered terribly, was a burden to my friends and actually longed - for death, which all thought was in store for me. At this time thestatementof a man down in Cape Breton came to my notice. He attributed his cure to Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills, and I thought there might be a chance for me._ I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and soon found that they were helping me, and their continued use put me on my feet again, and I went to work after months of enforced idleness, to the great astonishment of my acquaintances, who never expected to see me around again. I feel it my duty to advise the use of Pink Pills by people who are run down or suffer from the effects of any chronic ailment. They saved my life, and you may be sure I am grateful.” John W. Boothe, Newcombc Mills, Ont, says :-â€"\Vords cannot ex press the gratitude I feel for the great good I have received from the use of your Pink Pills. I had my full share of la grippe and it left me in a weak and debilitated condition. My nerves were unstrung and I was unable to hold anything, such as a saucer of tea in my hands without spilling it. I had terrible pains in my head and stbmach,and although I consulted a good physician I derived no benefit. I made up my mind to use your Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I now look upon the deci- sion as an inspiration, so great is the benefit I have derived from the use of this marvel- ous remedy. My pains have vanished, my nerves are strengthened, and I am feeling better than I have done before in years.” MaAJV. Marshall, principal of the 010- mertspo‘rt,N.§.,Academy, says :-â€"“I had a had ttack of la grippe which left me weak, system against disease.” Scores of other equally strong recommen- dations might be quoted, but the above will suffice to prove the undoubted efficacy of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills in removingI all the evil effects of la grippe or influenza,aiid those who have in any degree suffered from this dangerous malady should lose no time in fortifying the system by the judicious use of Pink Pills. They are the only remedy that strike at the root of the trouble and thoroughly eradicate its bad effects. Ask for l Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills and do not be per- 'suaded to try something else.

A panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagina- tion. Ill-deeds are doubled with an evrl word ; the sting of a reproach is the truth of it. An orator or author is never successful till he has learned to make his words smaller than his ideas. There are few things reason can discover with so much certainty and case as its own insufliciency. Duty is carrying on promptly and faith- fully the all'airs now before you. It is to fulfill the claims of to-day: Remembered joys are never past; at once the fountain, stream and sea, they were, they are, they yet shall be. There are two kinds of repentance ; one is that of Judas, the other that of Peter ' ’ Mr. B. Crouter, VVarkworth, Ont., brother of Rev. Darius Crouter, who some years ago represented East Northumber- land in the House of Commons, says: “Two years ago I had an attact of la grippe which nearly cost me my life. My legs and feet were continually cold and cramped, and I could get little or no sleep at night, and you can understand what a burden life was to me. One day I read of a re- markable cure by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, andI made up my mind to give them a trial. When I began using the Pink Pills there was such a numbness in my feet that I could not feel the floor when I stepped on it. As I continued the use of the pills this disappeared ; the feeling returned to my limbs, the cramps left me, I felt as though new blood were coursing through my veins, and I can now go to my bed and sleep soundly all night. When I get up in the morning instead of feeling tired and depressed, I feel thoroughly refreshed, and all this wonderful change is due to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I believe Pink Pills have no equal for building up the blood, and I strongly recommend them to all sufl'erers,or to any who wish to fortify the few; for the seller one is enough. Sruth Sea (11 Pirates Trial. A writer of thrilling stories of adventure in the charges brought against two French- prcsent awaiting their trial at Brest. Ac- cording to the case for the prosecution, these men are latterday pirates of a par- ticularly daring description. On Dec. 15, 1891, the French schooner Ninroahiti, trad- ing with Tahiti, left that place under the command of a native skipper named Tehec a Tara. The first mate was Joseph Rorique, one of the accused, and the crew consisted of an Englishman named William Gibson, who was the supercargo, four natives, and a half caste, who acted as cook. The ves- sel carried 40,000 francs’ worth of goods, to be exchanged in some South Sea’ islands for mother~ofâ€"pearl andother products. At one of these out-of-the-way ports Joseph Rorique’s brother, Alexander, came on board, and then planned the mutiny. The Captain and the Englishman were shot, and the crow, all but the cook, were killed by means of poisoned food; whereupon the brothers took command of the vessel, paint- ed out the name, substituting that of “Le Roi,” and making a descent on a little island forced some of the inhabitants to come and man the ship. Possibly they might have remained undiscovered,but for the fact that some time afterward they threatened to kill the half caste, who thereupon went and gave information to the authorities of one of the Caroline Islands.

But what is more appal- ling than the living body mado repulswe with skin and scalp disease, salt-rheum, tetter, eczema and scrofulous sores and swellings. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the positive cure for all of these diseases. If taken in time, it also cures Lung-scrofula, commonly known as Pulmonary Consumption. By druggists. KEYSER, N. 0. DR. R. V. PIERCE; Dear Sir,â€"When about three years old I was taken with mumps, also had fever, finally I had that dreaded disease Scrofula. The most emi- _ ncnt physicians in this section treated me to no avail. I had running scrofulous sores on left side of neck and face. I‘ was small and weakly when eight or nine years old, and in fact was nearly a skeleton. Six bottles of Dr. Piercc’s Golden Medical Dis- covery wrought marvelous changes. Al- though the sores were healed in eight months, I did not quit takingit until I was sure it had been entirely routed from my system. The only signs left of the dread- ful disease are the scars which e: er remind me of how near death’s door I was until rescued by the “Discovery.” I am now eighteen years old and weigh 148 pounds; and have not been sick in five years.
