aim ma a week for examination and treatment. At this stage I became suddenly worse, and once more gained admission to the hospital, where I lay in a miserable suffer- ing condition for two months or more. In the spring of 1891 I retured to Oakville, and made an attempt to do something toward my own support. I was given light work in the basket factory, but had to be conveyed to and from my place of labor in a buggy and carried from the rig to a table in the works on which I sat and performed my work. In August 1891 I was again striken down, and remained in an utterly helpless condition until January 1892. At this time Mr. James. a local a complete physical wreck, hobbling around on crutches a helpless cripple. My sufferings were continually intense, and frequently when I would be hobbling along the street I would be seized with a paroxism of pain and would fall uncon- scious to the ground. During all this time I had the constant. attendance of medical men, but their remedies were unavailing. All they could do was to try to build up my system by the use of tonics. In the fall of 1889 and spring of 1890 I again suffered intensely severe attacks, and at last my medical attendant, ordered me to the Toronto General Hospital. I entered the HOSpital on June 20th, 1890, and re- mained there until September 20th of the same year. But, notwithstanding all the care and attention bestowed upon me while in this institution, no improvement was noticeable in my condition. After using almost every available remedy the hospital doctorsâ€"of whom there was about a dozenâ€"came to the conclusion that my case was incurable, and l was sent ‘ away, with the understanding that I might remain an outside patient. Accordingly from September 1890 to the end of January 1891, I went to the hospital once ed. My trouble was brought on I think, through too frequent bathing in the cold water. The joints of my body began to swell, the cords of my legs to tighten, and the muscles of my limbs to contract. Ibe- came a helpless cripple, confined to bed, and for three months did not leave my room. The doctor who was called in ad- ministered preparations of iodide of potassium and other remedies without any material beneficial effect. After some months of sufiering I became strong enough to leave the bed but my limbs were stiffened and I was unfitted for any active vocation. I was then hampered more or less for the following nine years, when I was again forced to take to my bed. This attack was in 1886, and was a great deal more severe than the first. My feet, ankles, knees, legs, arms, shoulders, ‘ and in fact all parts of my frame were? affected. My joints and muscles became badly swollen. and the disease even reach- ed my head. My face swelled to a great size. I was unable to open my mouth, my jaws being fixed together, I, of course could eat nothing. My teeth were pried apart and liquid food poured down my throat. I lost my voice, and could speak only in husky whispers. Really, I am unable to discribe the state I was in dur- ing those long weary months. With my swollen limbs drawn by the tightening cords up to my emaciated body, and my whole frame twisted and contorted into indescribable shapes, I was nothing more than a deformed skeleton. For three long weary months I was confined to bed, after which I was able to get up, but was _â€"â€"_ ~'-â€"â€"â€"-- ‘r- ‘lvnnv- Uuuvlvtvo J. Ill, said Mr. Condor, “an Englishman by birth. and came to this country with my parents when mne years of age. and at that tune was as rugged and healthy as any boy of my age. I am now 29 years of age, and it was when about 14 years old that the first twinges of inflammatory rheumatism came upon me and during the fifteen years that intervened between that time and my recovery a few months ago, tongue can hardly tell how much I suffer- true, but that “the half had not been told.” The reporter found Mr. Condor at work in one of the heaviest departments of the Oakville Basket Factory. and was surprised. in the face of what he knew of the case, to be confronted by a strapping young fellow of good physique, ruddy countenance and bouyant bearing. This now rugged young man was he who had spent a great part; of his days upon a sick- bed, suffering almost untold agony. When the Empire representative announced the purpose of his visit Mr. Condor cheerfully volunteered a statement of his case for the benefit of other sufferers. “I am.” Recently rumors have been afloat of a. remarkable case in the pretty little town of Oakville, of a young man recovering after years of helplessness and agony. The Empire determined to subject the case to the most rigid investigation, and accordingly detailed one of our best re- porters to make a thorough and impartial investigation into the case. Acting upon these instructions our reporter went to Oakville, and called upon Mr. John W. Condor (who it was had so miraculously recovered) and had not long been in con- versation with him when he was convinced that the statements made were not only; For more than a year past the readers of the Empire have been given the par- ticulars of some of the most remarkable cures of the 19th century, all, or nearly all of them. in cases hereto held by the most advanced medical scientists to be incurable. The particulars of these cases were vouched for by such leading news- papers as the Hamilton Spectator and Times, The Halifax Herald, Toronto Globe, LeMonde, Montreal; Detroit News, A1- bany, N. Y., Journal; Albany Express1 and others, whose reputation placed be-‘ yond question the statements made. Toronto Empire. fAN OAKVILLE MIRACLE.

Operations have been suspended at the Champion iron mine, near Marquette, Mich.,and the 600 employes have been discharged. Inabillty to market the ore is the cause. A Port Hurcn despatch says Charles N or- man, of Toronto, who pleaded guilty of 17 burglaries, was sentenced by Judge ‘7'. __ A A A _ 7 Fifteen thousand immiglants have settled in Manitoba this year. ' In order to still further verify the state- ments made by Mr. Condor in the above interview, the reporter on his return to Toronto examined the General Hospital records, and found therein the entries fully bearlng out all Mr. Condor had said thus leaving not doubt that his case is one of the most remarkable on record, and all the more remarkable because it had baffled the skill of the best physicians in Toronto. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Brock- ville, Ont., and Schenectady, N.Y... and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williéms’ Medicine Cornp'my fromiveitfier address. The ~price at which these pllls are sold make a. course of treatment com- paratively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. The Empire reporter also called upon Mr. J. C. Ford, proprietor of the Oakville Basket Factory, in which Mr. Condor is employed, Mr. Ford said he knew of the pitiable condition Condor had been in for years, and he had thought he would never recover. The cure was evidently a thorough one for Condor worked steadily at heavy labor in the mills and apparently stood it as well as the rest of the em- ployees. Mr. Fold said he thought a great deal of the young man and was pleased at his wm'derous deliverance from the grave and his restoration to vigorous health. r l Wishing to substantiate the truth of Mr. Condor’s remarkable story the Em- pire representative called upon Mr. F. W. James, the Oakville druggist refered to above. Mr. James fully corroberatad the statements of Mr. Condor. When the latter had first taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills he was a mere skeletonâ€"a wreck of humanity. The people of the town had ‘ long given him up for as good as dead, and would hardly believe the man’s recovery until they saw him themselves. The. fame of this cure is now spread throughout the section and the result is an enormous sale of Pink Pills. “I sell a dozen-and-a~half boxes of Pink Pills every day, said Mr. James, and this is remark- able in a town the size of Oak ville. And better still they give perfect satisfaction. Mr. James recalled numerous instances of remarkable cures after other remedies had failed. Mr. John Robertson, who lives midwaybetween ()akville and Milton, who had been troubled with asthma and bronchitis for about 15 years, has been cured by the use of Pink Pills, and this after physicraus had told him there was no use of doctering further. Mr. Robertson says his appetite had failed completely, but after taking seven boxes of Pink Pills he was ready and waiting for each meal. _ He regards his case as a remarkable one. ‘In fact Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are recognized as one of the greatest modern medicinesâ€"a. perfect blood builder and nerve restorerâ€"curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling,r resulting therefrom, diseases depending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills restore pale and sallow comâ€" Dlexmns to the glow of health, and are a specfic for all the troubles peculiar to the female sex, while in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of Whatever nature. druggist, strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Bale People. I was prejudiced against proprietary medi- cines as I had spent nearly all I possessed on numerous highly recommended Io-CIH- ed remedies. I had taken into my system large quantities of different family medi- i cines. I had exhausted the list of lini- ments, but all in vain, and I Wu therefore reluctant to take Mr. Junes' advice. I, however, saw several strong testimonials as to the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a blood builder and nerve tonic, and thinking that. if I could only get my blood in better condition my general state of health might be improved, I resolved to give Pink Pills a trial. With the cour- age born of dispair I bought a box. but there was no noticeable improvement, and I thought this was like the other remedies I had used. But urged on by friends I continued taking Pink Pills and after using,r seven boxes I was rewarded by noticing a decided change fcr_ the better. My appetite returned. my spirits began to ‘ grise and I had a little freer use of my‘ muscles and limbs, the old troublesome swellings subsiding. I continued the remedy until I had used twenty five boxes when I left of. By this time I had taken on considerable flesh, and weighed as much as 160 pounds. This was a gain of 60 lbs in a few weeks. My joints assum- , ed their normal size, my muscles became 1 firmer, and in fact I was a new man. By April I was able to go to work in the basket factory, and now I can work ten hours a day with any man. I often stay on duty overtime without feeling any bad effects. I play. baseball in the evenings and can run bases with any of the boys. Why I feel like dancing for very joy to the relief from abject misery I suffered at . long. Many a time I prayed for death so release me from my sufferings, but now that it all gone and I enjoy health as only he can who suffered agony for years. I have given you a brief outline of my sufferings, but from what I have told you can guess the depth of my gratitude for the great remedy which has restored me to health and strength. THE WATCHMAN.

It was visited yester- day by Charles Oliver. 3. Kingston diver. Oliver states that the foremost part of the steamer is deeply imbedded in the ground and that certain parts are'rapidly filling up with quicksand; The “Cynthia" carried a large cargo of iron and most of it is still there. Oliver managed to get into the engine room and there he ran across the corpse of a man lying on his back on the floor. He tried to raise it, but it was so much decayed that it went to pieces. Oliver thought by the appearance of the clothes that the remains were those of an engineer. In the boiler room he came across a second body. This he took to be the remains of one of the firemen. This body also went to pieces on being touched.‘ Oliver did not go into the cabin as he thought it would be dangerous to do so,‘ owing to the position in which the broken ‘ steamer lies.

Had the City of Paris main- tained the speed of her best day through the trip she would have crossed the ocean in 5 days 8 hours and 32 minutes. Her daily runs were all large. and she was obliged to slow up for four hours and threevquarters on July 25 because of heavy fogs.
