00D POISONING. a Wound in the e Caused by a vk Doctor IN CoNSULTATION GAVE THE SUFFERER BUT LITTLE Hope oF Recovery--How His IFE WAS SAVED. Recorder. ~ Among the old families ih the ~ Township of August, in the neigh- 'boring county of Grenville, there is none better known or more influen- "tial, than those that bear the name of Bissell. The Bissells were among the earliest settlers in the township and have ever since taken an active part in all moves to promote its welfare. The subject of this narra tive, Mr. Silas Bissell, is one of the younger members of the family, who Some years ago left Canada to make his home in the State of Nebraska He has passed through an exper- ience almost unique, and considers that he is fortunate in being alive 10 tell the tale, The story is told in Mr. Bissell's wil Words, is as follo vs :--*In the auniumn of 1898 I sustained a seri ous injury through having the tines of a pitchfork penetrate my left knce. The wound apparently heal: to the acei- a shor! ] "to take to on account of excruciating in my limbs and stiffness in y joints, A doctor was called in, and he lanced the knee three times, and then he told me the trouble was blood poisoning: He treated me for some tim€é, but I steadily grew worse, and*five phyicians were call- €d in jor consultation. My entire system seemed to be affected, and the" doctors said the trouble had reached one of my lungs and that health I bad previous they could hold out but little hope of myrecovery. After remaining in bed for eleven weeks I decided that Iwould return to my old home in Canada. I 'was so much run down, and so weak that I was nevertheless deter mined to make an effort to do so. After a long journey under these most trying circumstances, I reach- my old home. I was so used up, and presented such an ehuanciated appearance that my friends had no thought that I would recover. 1 continued to drag along in this con- dition for several months when one day a cousin asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I was willing to try any medecine that was likely to cure me, and sent for a supply of the pills. After I had been using the pills for about three weeks I felt an improvement in my condition. From that time I gradually grew better; new blood seemed coursing throngh my veins ed) and the agonizing pains which Badiso long tortured me vanished. I took in all ten or twelve boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and 1 have no hesitation in saying that believe they saved my life, for when "% returned to Canada, I had no lope of recovery. | Mr. Bissell has since returned to Bis old home in Lincoln, Neb., but the statements made above cau be » vouched for by any of his friends in | in this section and by all of the neighbors in the vicinity of his old home. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure such apparently hopeless cases as Mr. Bissell's, because they make new, rich, red blood, and thus reach the root of the trouble. These pills are the only medicine offered the public that can show a record of such marvellous cures after doctors had failed. 1f you are at all unwell this medicine will restore you to health, but be sure you get the gen- | uine with the full name "Dr. Wil on the wrapper around each box. NORTH ONTARIO OBSERVER PORT PERRY, NOV.1 'The General Election. The result of the general election is the return of the Laurier Govern- ment to power, somewhat reduced in strength. It seems probable that the Ministerial majority will stand in the neighborhood of forty-five, as against fifty-seven when the House dissolved. But the force 'of the Government, that is to say the balance upon which it hangs, is drawn from Quebec. In the other provinces the majority ih 'the House is against it, and the popular vote very heavily so. When laying out their campaign tmisicts made what may be threw themselves especially Sir Charles Tupper, and i his defeat, which will poraty. Mr. Foster, who 'because of the marvellous which he has exposed iameent, was marked for in the way peculiar to the , and has met a reverse, of under the circumstances, he y reason to feel ashamed. ohn Macdonald went forth Sifton and his horde of cor- ts. * He has been beaten; ly will believe that Sifton free choice of the people Dr. Montague is re nt in Haldimand. ha him A vio- ed, but 1 did not enjoy the same : : | forshadows iu reities are the stiffness in my joints disappear | orshadows impropreities compared J | with which those of the past few 5, 1900 | Conservative leaders. | lek and hated by the evil | Wa and that the ' fanatics" of the West | cluded from the Premiership of this country.

The racial and anti-British ap- peals reacted upon the Government in the other provinces, as they might be expected to do. Ontano, itis gratifying to note, has resented them strongly as it has also resented the prevailing uncleanness, the boodl- ing, and the extravagance. Into the Ontario campaign Laurier en- tered witn a majority of twelve at his back. Out of it he comes twenty four behind.

FORMAN. ----------e ies Must be Seen to be Appreciat- u 5] i wS- paper Fears They seem to know exactly what the Canadian public want. This season they have intro duced an entirely new subject and one that is certainly to be apprecia- ted. They are now offering two beautiful pictures. The one is the master-piece ofthe famous Hoffman, CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE," a most beautiful study, the color- ing of the painting is superb, and the drawing of the faces is simply wonderful. This is particularly true of the face of Jesus the counténance is full of boyish beauty. No more highly spiritual conception of the face and figure of the Master has ever been placed on canvas. Around Him are shown the Rabbis, grave and thoughtful men, whose astonish ment at the wisdom of the youth is strikingly depicted. The picture is 17 X 24, and is a beautiful study for any home. Their. second picture is also a work of art and at once appeals to every Canadian heart. Our Canadian soldiers are returning from the war in South Africa, and this picture. en- titled "HOME . FROM THE WAR," isa handsome souvenir of the occasion. It represents one of our brave soldiers in his khaki uniform cpening the door of the room in which his dear old mother, unconscious of his presence, is sit. ting anxiously reading over and over the letters from her boy in South Africa. The picture tells the story. It is true to life. The coloring is the candidates, but to speak of such opposite circumstances and to think of the scenes some times enacted at party con- ventions, and in face of these things be asked to vote "as in the sight of God" and regarding the ballot as a "sacred trust" is close akin to blas. It is certainly the grossest of hypocrisy. I have read very carefully the campaign sheet referred to which is judges and the Conservative press say of Mr W Smith the Conserva- tive Candidate in South Ontario."

It was the good fortune of the Canadians at Paardeberg to assso- ciate their names with the first great British success of Lord Roberts' campaign. It has fallen to the lot of the Australians to achieve what is unanimously described as the most gallant exploit of the close of the war There were noreporters pre- sent, and the particulars have been gleaned since from the private let- ters of British officers who were on the spot at the end of the fight. It differed from Paardeberg in that the colonials were the defending, pot the attacking party, the posi- tions being in factreversed Delarey with 3,000 men and eight big guns caught a convoy at Brakiontein on the Eland's river, defended by 300 Australians "under Colonel Hore The Australians had only one gun, which jammed at the fourth shot, clear it.
