on Friday Morning. 'A despatch from London, Ont., says : Nearly one million dollars was lost in London’s big fire, on Friday morning. Nine stores, occupied by [our of the largest retail houses in the city, were completely wiped out, While five. other stores were dam- aged tea great extent. The fire was discovered at 4 o’clock, and for two hours threatened the whole bu-si: hess section of London. When it Was finally overcome a great gap had been burned in the mercantile section, and in addition to the heavy losses sustained by the merchants, bvcr 400 employees were temporar- ~ lly put out of work. That the fire Mas confined within limits is thel ' Bortunate side if it, besides the fact that not a life was lost nor, a per-l son injured. A well-built wall, an unexcelled water system and a fight- ing fire department were what saved the rest of the downtown section; ‘As far as can be estimated,- the Nine Stores on Dundas Street WipedOut ,losses amount to $845,000, with in- surance aggregating $480,000. The merchants are looking forward now ;to rebuilding, and in the meantime lsecuring temporary quarters. Chapman & Co., who are the largest losers, and in whose buildâ€" ing the fire originated, secured the Store at 248“ Dundas street, next to Rowat’s. Brewster’s announced that the store formerly occupied by the Scandretts, near Richmond street, had been _'se.curod,; while Mara’s will-open in. a few days 111 Morgan’s old store. Kingsmilltthe ‘fourth firm to be completely Wiped lout‘, have a carpet warehouse _o_n lCarling street, which they can uti- lize. Only the walls are left stand- :ing of Itoome dz Corbett’s boot and 'shoe store, and they are looking for a place; The Purdom Hardware lCo., and R. J. Young & (.30., dry lgoods, may be compelled to seek {new quarters while the damaged portions of their stores are rebuilt.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Point the Way to Health and Strength. Ask yourself the important ques- tion whether you are as strong as you were a year ago. as bodily fit as you should be. Many a reader has to confess “No.” Some weakâ€" ening ailment has during the past year laid hold of the system, un- fittiug you for the duties of life and seriously clouding the outlook of the coming days. It may be rheumatism with its sharp twingcs , of pain, indigestion, headache, nervous debility, depression and lack of energy, or the pains and ailments which only common folk know. It is well to know that all those weakening disorders arise from an impoverished condition of the blood. Renew and enrich your blood and all your troubles will cease. This is a strong statement, but it is made on the testimony of] thousands who once suffered, but who have gained health and strength by the aid of the new, rich blood supplied by Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills.,_ We can quote thousands of cases similar to the following: Mr. Jos. Grandmaison is a young man well known in the town of St. Jerome, Que. "He says: “For a couple of years I began to find my strength failing, but. did vnotj’drcam that the trouble was serious. {As I grew weaker I began to doctor, but it did not‘help me. The least exertion made my heart palpitate' violently, my stomach seemed out of order and my whole system became so run down that I was finally forced to quit work. I had now been doctoring for almost six months and was very naturally growing discouraged. At this juncâ€" ture I read of a case similar to mine, cured through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and decided to try them. I took the Pills faith- fully for about two months, gradu- ally growing stronger and at the end of that time I was as well as any man could be. I shall always praise the medicine that raised me from despair to the blessing of good health.” Sold by medicine dealers every- where or sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brook- ville, Out.- 41“ ..
