MARKET REPORTS. U Tl‘ 4| 1:} ¢ .0 30 III! (N) “H (From the Brockville Recorder.) One of the most successful business men in Brockville is Mr. Thomas Nappy, the well-know Perth Street grocer. Mr. Nappy is an Englishman by birth and the success he has achiev- ed in business here, has enabled him for some years past to make an annual holiday trio to the Motherland. In a casual conversation with some friends in the Bank of Montreal, recently. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills happened to be mentioned and Mr. Nappy said that if the pills efl‘ected many cures as marvellous as one that had come under his notice, he was not surprised that they were so frequently the theme of conversation. Asked later by a reporter of the Recorder to give the story, Mr. Nappy readily consent- ed to do so, and we give it practical- ly in his own words. “Don’t be dis- appointed when I tell you that the cure did not occur in this country ” said Mr. Nappy. As a matter of fact it occurred in England and came un- der my observation on the occasion of two visits made to that country. Dur- ing the summer of 1898 I paid a visit to my old home in England an while there visited William Ledger, a rela- tion of mine living at 45 Fitzwilliam street, Doncaster. In Ledger’s family THE SERVICES CANADA HAS REN- DERED FULLY APPRECIATED. was a little girl, Lilly, about six vears of age who was absolutely help- less with what the doctors said was St. Vitus‘ dance, but really seemed to me more like paralysis. This child was one of the most pitiful sights I ever saw; more helpless than a new born babe. She could not move a single limb, an if the head were turn- ed to one side or the other it remain- ed in that position until some one changed it. The poor child had to be fed and looked after like an infant. and as the doctors had not, been able to do anything to relieve her, recov- ery was not thought possible. In- deed, I said to the child’s grand- mother that I thought its earthly death would bea relief not only to the child, but to its parents. This was the condition of the child when I left for Canada. Again in the sum- mer of 1899 I made a holiday trip to England and to my amazement when I visited my friend Lodger I found Lilly as bright and active 8. child as one would find anywhere, with abso~ lutely no trace of the trouble that had made her a helpless burden the vear before. I told her parents I had never expected to see her alive again and asked what had effected her cure. AProminont Brockviiio Business Man Pay: a Tribute to the Good Work of a Canadian Institution in England. CANADA AND ENGLAND "Dr. Willimns’ Pink Pills." said the father. He further said that return- ing from work one night. he found in the house a little hook describing the pills. left during: the dav, and after reading it decided to use them in Lillv's case. After supper he bought some of the mills and gave the first to the child that. night. In a few days they saw they were helning her, and in less than two months time there was not a child in the neighborhood, brighter, healthier or more active. I have heard a. great d all concerning what Dr. Williams' Pills have done in this country. but this case coming under my own observation is as near a. miracle as we can look for :in these days, and shows why Dr. Willimns’ Pink Pills are so {much talked about everywhere. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are just asvaluable in the case of children as with adults, and puny little ones would thrive and grow fat under this treatment. which has no equal for building up the blood and giving re- newed strength to brain, body and nerves.
