'Bept. 11 ss '| _ LISTOWEL STAI . & REGULAR ORIPPLE. The Story ofan OltPSettlerin Duffer- in County. Suffered Terribly With Rheumatism, and Had to use Mechanical Appli- ances to Turn in Bed--Friends Thought he Could Not Recover. From the Economist, Shelburne, Ont. Almost everybody in the township of Melancthon, Dufferin Co., knows Mr. Wm. August, J. P., postmaster of Auguston. Mr. August, now in his 77th year, came to Canada from Eng- land forty years ago, and for thirty- eight years has been a resident of Mel- ancthon. During some thirty years of that time he has been a postmaster, and for eleven or twelve years was a member of the township council, for some years holding the position of deputy reeve. He has been a justice of the peace since the formation ofthe county. It will thus be seen that Mr. August stands high in the estimation of his neighbors. In the winter of 1894-95 Mr. August was laid up with an unusually severe attack of rheumatism, being confined to the honse and to his bed for about three months. of the Economist, Mr. August said: 'I was in fact a regular cripple. Suspended fromthe ceiling over my bed was a also To a reporter rope which I would seize with my hands, and thus change my position in I suf- fered as only those racked with rheum- atic pains could suffer and owing to my advanced age, my neighbors did not think it possible for me to recover. I had read much concerning Dr. Williatns Pink Pills, and at last give them a trial. I commenced taking the pills about the lst of Feb., 1895, taking at the ontset one each meal and increasing to three at a time. Within no couple of weeks I could notice an improvement, and by the first of April I was able to be about as usual, free from the pains, and with but very little of the stiffmess left. I continued the treatment a short time longer and found myseif fully restored. It is now nearly a year since I discon- tinned taking the Pink Pills, and I have uot had any return of the trouble in thattime. I have no hesitation in Saying that I owe my recovery to Dr, Wiliams' Pink Pills." These pills are a perfect blood builder and restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' Dance, nervous headsche, all nervous troubles, palpitation of the heart, the after effects of la grippe, diseases depending on humors of the blood, such as scrofula, chronie ery- sipelas, ete.
