Peary from his Arctic expedition, with a confession of failure and a story of severe privation and narrow escape from death, adds another to the long list of such attempts and disappointments. Taking them all in all, i‘ may well be doubted if their results are worth the suffering they have cost. It is true that they have added something to the 6took of geographical knowledge, but it is of little or no practical value, and if it had remained concealed in the icy fastnesses it would have been just as serviceable to the world. There is a certain gratification of curiosity in the tales told by these intrepid adventurers with regard to distant and mysterious regions, but the information is not such as can be said to represent an adequate compensation for the associated labors, perils and sacrifices. It is profitles‘ to us to learn that the northern border 0 Greenland is covered with an ice cap thousands of feet in thickness : that travel- ing in that locality is extremely hazardous; that certain bodies of water up there have given dimensions, and that there is really nothing to be found in the prevailing desolation that anybody wants. This is all that there is to show for the cost of Arctic exploration, for the money spent and the lives lost, and it is unreasonable to claim thata conclusion thus squalid and useless is a justification in the case. It is easy to say that these explorers of the unknown have displayed qualities of high courage and fortitude, and have been animated by motives of a sincere and creditable order. There is no blame to be attributed to them in the respect of manly and consistent devotion to an ideal. They have borne all sorts of hardships and exposed themselves to all sorts of dangers in search of the rapture of discovery. Some have come back mutilated by the remorseless cruelty of the winter that they encountered; others have remained ab- sorbed into the eternal silence, as victims of their own ambitious temerity. There 18 infinite pathos in the records of their journeyings and their sufferings, the stormy vicissitudes through which they passed.

One bottle of South American Rheumatic Cure performed this most remarkable ours. I nad' sutered from this disease, as I say, for ten years, and I did not ever expect to be entirely cured.

From the Yarmouth. 21.8., Times The remarkable cures effected by Dr? Willisms’ Pink Pills have long been a matter of newspaper notoriety, and many , of themâ€"well described as miraclesâ€"have i been in our own province, but we believe so far none have been published from Yar‘ mouth. A Times representative enquired in a quarter where such matter: would likely be known, and learned that there , were several remarkable cases of restoration 1 to health directly traceable to Dr. Wil- lliams’ Pink Pills, right in our midst. l Curious to ascertain the facts in relation ! thereto, our representative called on Mr. l Charles E. Trask, who had been known to t. have experienced a long illness, and now was apparently in excellent health,his cure being attributed to Pink Pills. Mr. Trash, who has been an accountant in Yarmouth for many years, was in his eflice on John street when the reporter waited on him. IOUND mt. masx IN HIS OFFICE. "Yes," he said,"there can be no possibl doubt of the efficacy of Dr. Williams ' Pink Pills in my case, and I will be pleased if the publication of the facts helps some other sufferer back to health. I caught :old, was careless and caught more cold. 1‘he first thing I knew I was seriously ill. [could not walk. All strength seemed to have left my legs and the weakness in- creased. From being obliged to remain in the house I became obliged to remain in bed, but still supposed it Was a very bad cold. I became so helples I could not move in bed without help. I had good attendance and the best of care and nurs- ing, but as week succeeded week I seemed I to grow worse instead of better, till I was worn to a more shadow and began to care very little if I ever recovered. A hint that I was threatened with something called looomotor ataxia reminded a friend that my case seemed similar to some of those described in the Times. which had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis,and this first drew attention to them as a possible aid to me. I admit that I was skepticalâ€" very skepticalâ€"there are so many medi- cines being advertised just now, and I was never much of a believer in them. Well, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were pur- chased aud I took them, as I suppose I 'would have taken anything else, simply as the routine of a sick room. The first box seemed to show littleefi‘ect,andby thetimsl had got through with the third box there could be no doubt my condition showed a marked improvement, and I was corres- pondingly encouraged. The pills were continued and I became rapidly better, so that I was able to sit up and go about the house, and occasionally go out if the weather was fine. Day by day I grew stronger, and to make a long story short, I feel I am today in as good health as ever I was in my life, and I can hardly realize I am the same man who suffered for six months, a helpless, despondent being,who never expected to he on his feet again. While I have no desire for publicity I am quite willing these facts should be made known for the benefit of others, and am ready at any time to bear hearty testimony to the genuine worth of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. 'l‘hev restored me to health when I never expected to be about again.” Mr. Trask certainly looks the picture of health,and remembering the long period I have only taken I when‘he had been laid up, our representa- tive left,fully convinced that Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills have well deserved all that was said of them elsewhere. When such cases can be pointed to in our own midst there can no longer be any doubt of the reliabil- ity of the many statements of wonderful cures efi'ected throughout the country. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-¢-â€"â€"â€" Be not misled by strange fantas tic art, but in your dress let nature take so me part. â€"Garrick. “+â€" SAVED HER LIFE.

Only those who have so suffered know the distressing feelzngs that follow an af- frction of the heart. Let one who has been afflicted speak, and tell of the remedy which will cure. Says Mrs. J. L.

I tried all the doctorsin this section of country, but they failed to give me relief.

True, many so-called kidney cures do not cure, but in that great discovery, South American Kidney Cure, there is found an unfailinti remedy. This is what Mr David Hogg, o Sunnymead, N. \Y.'I‘., says: “I wasgreatly afilicted with severe kidney trouble. sufi’er: ing the many annoyances and pain that follow this disease. There was hardly any remedy that I did not use, in hopes of securing relief, but it was not until I bought a bottle of South.American Kidney Cars that relief came.
