cal certificate of total disability and Mr.. Mar

last November. One day last February
came Mr. MarShalPs salvation although he
did not accept it at first. A small pam
phlet telling of DR., Williams Pink Pills
and the diseases they cured, was thrown
into the house, but 1t was placed aside and
no notice taken of it for weeks. One
day the sick man reread the circular and
concluded to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
although Mrs. Marshall tried hard to dis
suade him, saying they would be as inetfect-
ual as all the others; but on April II
memorable day to him-Mr Marshall began
| to take the pills, one after each meal for a
start. In few days change was noticed
and as he continued to take the pills he
gradually improved and in little over a
month he was able to take the train for
Toronto and visit an astOnished brother in
| law. Now he can walk four or five miles
with any of his friends.
The Globe representative paid visit to
the house of the man thus rescued from a
living death. When the reporters mission
was explained, Mr.. MarshalPs face lighted
up with smile, which caused responsive
one to rise ON the features of his wife, and
he expressed his perfect Willingness to tell
all that was asked of him.
"Why feel better man now than did
ten years ago." said he, cheerfully. 'Its

Mr.. Marshall offered to make an affidavit
to the truth of the above story, but the re-
porter considered that wholly unnecessary.
He carried conviction TO the inquirer's mind
by every word and action, and there was no
yainsaying the fact that the cure was one
If the most marvellous in the nineteenth
century. All the neighbors bore testimony
% the genuineness of the cure. None of
hem ever expected to see Mr.. Marshall on
lis feet again and regarded his restoration
o health as nothing short of marvellous.
