N. S. Chronicle. Mr. David 0. Corkum, of Scott's Bay Road, is the owner of one of the best farms in King's Co.. NS, and is oncof the best known farmers in that section of the county. He is naturally a'hard working man and when strong IS 8:1- ways to be found busy on his place- Last winter he spent the whole season in the lumber woods, was strong and healthy and worked as hard as unYODB- But it has not always been so. in fact it is the wonder of the neighborhood tiuit he is able to work at all. Before moving to Scott's Bay Road, Mr. Lorâ€" ktim lived at Chester. Lunenburg C0.. N.S., and while there was a great suf- ferer from rheumatism. which affected: him in such a way that he was unable. to do manual labor of any kind. About this time he moved to his present home. but he could not get a moment's re- spite from the effects of his disease. l-celing that he must get well at any] cost he had his old doctor brought from‘ Chester to th relief. but he was unable to do anything for him. lie tried many kinds of medicine hoping to receive bene- fit but to no avail. Being determined not to die without a. struggle he hadl doctors summoned from Halifax, but still continued to get worse. Abput three years ago he took to his bed and his case developed into bone and muscle rheumatism of the worst type. it spread through all his bones, up into his arm. causing partial paralysis of that limb. rendering it utterly_uselcss Since, he could not. lift it above his waist. All: the strength left his muscles, and heI was unable to turn in bed without aid.| ciorfin BY RHEUMATISM} l 'He was able to stand upon his feet. but could not walk. Still the doctors wait- ed upon him and still he took their medicines. but with no beneficial. reâ€"l suit. During this time Mr. Corkumr paid out several hundred dollars ml hard cash for doctor's bills and medi- cine, all of which did him not one par- ticle of good. After lying in bed for fifteen months his case was pronounced hopeless and he was given up by all.; About this time he heard of Dr. Wil-i liams' Pink l’ills.and as alast resource be? resolved to give them a trial. The first four boxes produced no noticeable cf-l feet. but at the fifth he began to notice a change. Feeling encouraged he keptf on and from that time be rapidly imâ€"‘ proved and after using the Pink Pills for a period of some twelve weeks he was restored to perfect health. Such was the wonderful story told a repreâ€" sentative of the \Vestcrn Chronicle by, Mr. Corkuni a short time ago. OIL. Corkum is now 59 years of age and per-: fccily healthy and feels younger and better than he has for years and attri-v buies his recovery solely to the use of Dr. Williams' Pills. and he is willing to prove. the truth of these statements to anyone who may call upon him. 'i‘husc pills are a positive cure for all, troubles arising from a vitiated condi-é tion of the blood or a shattered nervous" system. Sold by all dealers or by1 mail from the Dr. \Viliiams' Medicine‘ Company. Brockville, Ont... or Schench tady. N.Y., at 50 cents a box, or 6 boxes for $2.50. There are numerous imiia-f tions and substitutes against which the, public is cautioned. I At the Post Office Window i It is a never-ending trouble in some‘ country Post Offices to answer callers. The Postmaster at a certain village was i a very patient man; but the gentlest; temper gets ruffled. Anxious relatives; who are expecting letters sometimes cut up rough at a sarcastic repartee. butK the solemn lantern-jawed young man looking after letters for his family was very much in earnest and not easily disturbed. " Any thing for the “'attscs’i‘” he asked. "No, nothing." said the Postmaster. "Anything for June Watts?“ "Nothing." "Anything for Alec Watts?" "No, sir." “Any- thing for Tom Waits ?" "No, nothing." "Anything addressed for ‘i’ool .loe' Wat is i" “No. nor for Dick Watts. Jim Waits, Bill Watts. Sweet Watts, Wise “'uits. nor any other Watiscs. dead, living. unborn, native. foreign. civilized, uncivilized, black or white. franchised or distranchiscd. naturalised, or other- wise. No there is positively nothing for any of (he \Vaitses, either individu- ally. severally, jointly, now and forever one and inseparable." The lantern-jaw- ed young man gazed at tho Postmaster in astonishment, and said. "Please look if there is anything for John 'l‘liomas Waits." | i l __.. ._ .. _...-‘___ The Burden or a Name. The Rev.
