An E‘s-Councillor or Oso Township Tells of His Release From Sufferingâ€"ills Neighbors Vcrl‘fy llis Statementsâ€"A Marvellous Cnrc lliat is Now a. House- lIoId \Yord. Kingston W'liig. -~ _, The readers of the \Vhig will remember that our reporter at Sharbot Lake, on two or three occasions last winter, wrote of the serious illness of Edward Batting, a well- known and respected resident of the town- ship of 030. Mr. Rotting was so low that his friends had no hope of his recovery, and although of an energetic disposition and not the kind of a man to give up easily, he eyen fel-t himself that life was slipping from him. Later we learned that Mr. Bottiug’s recovery was due entirely to the use of that remedy which has achieved so many mar- vellous cures that its name is now a house- hold word throughout the land-â€"Dr. Will- iams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Our reporter visited Mr. Botting at his home on the picturesque shore of Succor Lake. Mr. Betting isa very intelligent and agreeable gentleman, some seventy- five years of age, but looking and acting as smartly asa man twenty years younger. He is probably one of the best known men in this' section. He was postmaster at Fermoy for fourteen years, and a councillor of the united townships of Bedford, Oso, Olden and Palmerston for ten years. He gave the Whig representative a cordial greeting, remarking that it was his favor- ite paper and that he had been a con- stant subscriber for forty-nine years. Mr. Betting readily consented to give his ex- perience in the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, saying that he believed it was a duty ‘ne\o_wed to humanity to let the public know \mat theyhad done for him. “It was about ten. years ago,” said Mr. Bot- ting, “that I first began to feel that I was not my old self. Up to that time I had been exceptionally strong and rugs ged. My illness first came in the form of kidney trouble, which seemed to carry with it general debility of the whole system, and none of the medicines that I took seemed to do me any good. I am not of a disposition to give up easily, andI tried to fight off the trouble and continued to go about when many an- other would have been in bed. Things went on in this way until about a year ago when I had a bad attack of la grippe, and \ the after effects of that malignant trouble '4, brought me so low that my friends dispair- ed of my recovery. I did not give up my- self for that is not my disposition, but when I found that the. remedies I tried did me no good, I must admit I was discouraged, I was troubled with severe and constant pains in the back, sensations of extreme dizziness, weakness, and was in fact in a generally used up condition. Iliad read frequently in the \Vhig of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and at last the conviction forced itself upon me that they must have some special virtue else they could not obtain Avflsuch strong endorsations in all parts of the colintry. ' The upshot was that I determin- ed to try them and I bless the day that I came to that conclusion. Before the first box was finished I felt benefited, and I con- tinued their use until I was as strong as ever. I have lately worked hard and'fiud no ill effects therefrom. I consider Dr. VVillia.ns’ Pink Pills the best medicine sold, and you may say I would not be without them in the house if they cost $5 a box. All my neighbors know what Pink Pills have done for me,” said Mr. Bottiug, “ and . guns. I would just like you to ask some of them.” Your reporter acted upon the hint, and first saw Mrs. L. Kish, a. daughter of Mr. Bottiug. Mrs. Kish said, “ What my father has told you is quite true. It was Pink Pills that cured him and we are very, very thankful. Father is now as smart as he was twenty years ago.” Charles Knapp, a prominent farmer, said : “ I consider Mr. Botting’s cure a most wonderful one and I believe he owes his life to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Your report- er called at John W. Knapp’s but found that gentleman away from home. His wife, an estimable and intelligent lady, said, “we are aware that Mr. Batting was very sick for a long time and considering his age thought it unlikely that he would recover, but he is now as smart as he was ten years FACTS AND FIGURES.

It is now more than twenty years since the truce was made betWeen France and Germany, and during this long period we have witnessed constant and feverish prep- aiations for a renewal of the struggle. The feeling between the two peoples has been embittered by time. They live now upon terms of mutual hatred and fear. Armed to the teeth, they watch each other like two gladiators'on guard, eager for an opening. Nobody can tell which one will commence the attack, but everybody feels that the shock must come, and that each hopes to “ bleed the other white.” It is still a debatable question whether Napoleon III. plunged his country into war without sufficient reason and without suf- ficient preparation, or whether he was forced into it by a deliberate guet-apcns which enabled the Germans at the outset to hurl seventecn army corps against eight. The figures are Caprivi’s. But whichever way it was, the thing itself may take its place among the most rascally wars of his- LOI‘ . l theythought that it must be renewed under far difl'erent conditions, and the French appreciation of their past conduct is best explained in the popular chorus, Rendez nous nos pcndu/rs‘ ! They insist that the Germans did not act like soldiers, but like brigands. On the other hand the Germans argue that they are peaceably disposed people, and that the French, naturally re- vcugcful and blood-thirsty, have brought upon Europe the military burdens under which the nations stagger to-day. If such sentiments on each side of the frontier were merely expressed in words, one might well afford to treat them lightly; but, unfortunately, they are represented by Never before has the world witness- ed such gigantic preparations for war, and never before has the press of Europe been so full of fire. The correspondence which we are constantly receiving from the other side of the Atlantic is occupied almost ex- clusively with descriptions of formidable military programmes and repetitions of ugly war rumors. The fact that such a condition has existed during the past fifteen years offers very poor evidence that it will con- tinue much longer. On the contrary, the nations seem to have reached very close in- deed to the limit of their ability in the mat- ter of armaments. The Socialists tell us that when that point is reached general dis- armament will be the result: but this is one of the visions of which they like to speak, a mirage which they love to paint. There is no rainbow to span and soften the ago and he ascribes it all to Dr. WilliamS’ great war cloud of Europe.

H. W. Hunt, a commissioner and school teacher, said he had known Mr. Batting for a number of years and considered him a well read and intelligent gentleman, who, if he said Pink Pills had cured him, could be de- pended upon, as he is a very conscientious man, who would not make a statement that was not accurate. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of la grippe, diseases depending on liumors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic ery- sipelas, ctc. Pink Pills give ahealthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the fe- male system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. W'illiams’ Medicine Company, Brockvillc, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark and wrapper, at 506ts. a box or six boxes for $2.50. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. The public are also cautioned against all other so-called blood builders and nerve tonics, ho matter what name may be given them; They are all imitations whose makers hope v LtO reap a pecuniary advantage from the wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. VVill- iams’ Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills 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 makes 9. course of treatment compara- tively inexpensive as compared with other remedied or medical treatment. 510ml of Striking Them. It is saida watchmaker of Geneva, Switzer- land, named Casimir Livau, has just coni- pleted a watch which, instead of striking the hours and quarters, announces them by speaking like a phonograph. The mechan- ism of the watch is based on phonographic conditions. the bottom of the case containing a phonographic sensitive plate which has received the impression of the human voice before being inserted in the watch. The disk has 48 concentric grooves, of which 1'2 repeat the hours, 12 those of the hours and quarters, and 12 more of the hours and second and third quarters. If the hand on the dial shows the time to be 12.15 o’clock one of the fine needle-points of the mechan- ism crosses the corresponding groovc, and the disk, which turns simultaneously, calls out the time just as tho phonographic cylind- er. The lower lid of the case is provided with a tiny mouth-piece, and when the watch is held to the car the sound is all the more plain. _â€"_â€"~._______, Oh, this ringing in the cars!

The engineering feats of last year include: The famous iron gates of the Danube River, which had long been a bar to the develop- ment of the commerce along that famous waterway, were successfully removed. The great Tasau dam, which is said to be the largest piece of engineering work in the world, was also completed. It is situated sixty-five miles north of Bombay and is two miles long, with a breast 118 feet high and 100 feet thick at the base. Twelve thou- sand men were continuously employed in the constucture of this colossal work. Somewhat less imposing, but an engineering work of greater importance, was the com- pletion of the Vyrnwy aqueduct to supply Liverpool with water. The aqueduct is sixty-eight miles in length, and at one place dips under the River Mersey in a. tunnel that is said to be a marvel of engineering skill. â€"â€".â€".â€"â€"â€"°â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" When Canadian cattle were scheduled the Dundee Courier ventured to doubt the wis- dom or the justice of the action of the Brit- ish Government.

The Scottish farmers are not the only persons suffering because of the pro- hibition. There has been a diminution of harbour revenues, the price of meat has been advanced, and the dcpopulation of rural districts has been accelerated, because of the lessening of the farmers‘ profits. At a conference in Glasgow of those interested in the trade the opinion was unanimously expresscd that the restriction is unneces- sary and burdensome. Arrangementswere made for holding public meetings through- out the country, and bringing representa- tions to the Government on the subject. If he does not hasten to do justice to Canada Mr. Gladstone may yet find the cattlcquestionas troublesome as thatof Home Rule. For two years I sufl’ered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by a physician.

The “Panyar” Stone- A remarkable conspiracy was detected by the aiptéhorities of the city of London a few days a 0, when an attempt was_made to steal the celebrated Panyer stone in Panyer Alley, Newgate Street, which has for the last 200 years marked the highest point. of the city of London. It appears that a rich American bribed one of the workmen engaged in pulling down the old warehouse in which the stone is fixed, asking him to exchange the old relic for a modern stone and promis- ing to pay £50 for the deception. The work- man conveyed notice of this to the City authorities, and a guard has now been placed upon the original stone, which is a cherished heirloom of the city.

Read the following from a gTateIul mother: " My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years old, and it left him very weak and with blood poisoned ~with: canker. His eyes became so inflamed that his sufierings were intense, and for seven weeks he Could Not Open His Eyes. I took him twice during that time to the Eye and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow of good. I commenced giving him Hood's Sai'saparilla and it soon cured _hin}. I have never doubted that it saved his sight, even if not his very life. You may use this tes- timonial in any way you choose.
