Fairview’s Exhibit at the Fat Stock Show. Six pure-bred Shropshires and nine trade Shropshire's from neighbor’s flocks in which Fairview-bred rams were used made up the lot which was singularly suc- cessful at the Provincial fat stock show last; week at London. To the fifteen ani- mals competing, were awarded 9 firsts, 4 seconds and several thirds. The Prince of Wales prize offered for the best pen of fine lambs, of any given breed was a premium which probably was cov- eted more than any other prize ever offer- ed in Canada, as it; was confined to lambs bred in this country. Sixty of the finest lambs ever seen on American scil,â€"â€"as an American said,â€" representing the six leading breeds of medium: and long «0013, were brought before the judges. Two breeders of the medium and two of long wools, composed the awarding committee. Considerable time was spent in examination after which four pens,Shropshires,Southdowns, Cotswolds and Leicesters, were selected for the final struggle. When the merits of these contesting pens were closely cal- culated the reliable committee were fully agreed in giving the Fairview Shropshires the highly esteemed position of first place, with the Costwold’s second premium.

FEW? WEAK, PAINT FEELINGS. Serious'Conditions that Mllburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills can Readily Cure. One of the indications of serious heart trouble is the sensation of weakness or faintness that comes on _at times. A 10 somBEEfiEE'ii'iE'éimply a dizzy feeling that passes off, or it maybe a state of un- consciousness with hands and feet cold and countenance gbgstly pale . Now th e r e ’ s only one reliable remedy for restoring strength and vitality to weakened hearts and relieving all the distressing symptoms. It is Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills. The case of Mrs. A. Stratton, Frederic- ton, N.B., amply proves this. Here is her statement: “I suffered very much from an im- poverished condition of the blood, coupled with extreme nervousness. A dizzy sen- sation on arising quickly or coming down stairs, often troubled me, and my breath was so short that I could not walk up stairs. The least exertion caused my heart to flutter and palpitute violently, and I sometimes felt a. smothering sen- sation on going to sleep. 1 n A-.. _--1_ J v“ Dv--- _- ~, I doctored back and forth for my weak- ness, but I got no relief from any medicine until I tried Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills, and I can say that they helped me wonderfully. Sometimes my face and arms would swell and puff, but all these troubles speedily yielded to the restoring influences of Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills, and I am now strong and well. I did not use them long until [regained the â€"â€" -_1 THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY.
