And no wonder, the suffering caus by bad digestion cannot be im agined by anyone who has not suffered from it. The victim isa - constant sufferer from headaches, "heart burn, heart palpitation, and "nausea. He has a bad taste in his mouth is unable to obtain restful sleep and has always a feeling of weariness and depression. But there is a sure cure for this trouble ~ and it is found in the greatest of all ~ known medicines--Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Among these who have been cur- ed of this distressing malady by ~ Williams' Pink Pillsis Mr. Alfred Chasbet, a well known farmer living near St. Jerome, Que. Toa report : "L'Avenir du Nord," Mr. old the following story of gestion. After eating I felt if some heavy weight was press- ng against my chest. I was racked with violent headaches ; my temper became irritable ; my appetite un- certain ; my nerves were a wreck and I was always troubled witha feeling of weariness. I was able to do very little work and sometimes none at all, Although I tried mary remedies I was unsuccessful in my search for a cure until'a friend ad- vised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Any doubts I may have had as to the merits of these pills was soon dispelled, for I had not been 'taking them long before I noticed an improvement in my condition. 1 continued the use of the pills some weeks when I considered myself fully cured.

The Goderich Signal--Reform-- "How in the name of common sense is the rank and file of the Lib- eral party in Ontario to keep its feet if alleged leaders of the party will insist upon dqing foelish_ things which are bound to act to its detriment.

There are any number of reform newspapers and thousands of Liberals who are not prepared to swallow the words and actions of the Ontario Cabinet Ministers, and the sooner these gentlemen realize this fact and quit acting as if they were in a bed of roses the better. It will require all the grit and gumption of the Pro- vincial Liberals to hold their own at the next election, and this is no time Hon. John Dryden to go. into Dakota ranching speculations, . or for any of his associates in the Cabi net to engage in other deals that may come up in judgment against the Liberal party at election time The Signal wants the party to win at the nextjelection, and there is no possibility of winning if the men who are looked upon as leaders are going to queer the party by actions that cannot be defended in the press or on the platform." le ------ Fire.--On Tuesday evening last, about 10.30 the alarm of fire | was sounded throughout the village.-- The driving shed attached to the residence of ouresteemed townsman Mr. Hugh Carmichael, was discov- ered tobe on fire.
