 "Yes, ought to be happy in this little paradise, and now am, butthere werelong years when lived in the shadow, not of the foresttrees tn at loom up so grandly on our hillside, but in the shadow of death. For years 1 saw the sun go down behind the western hills, and as retired for the night added to the prayer, which it has been the custom of my dear husband and myself to utter together, the old, the sweet, the trust full invocation of childhood, If should die before l wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.' never gazed upon the orb asit sank behind the hills without the haunting fear that it was for the last time"
 The speaker was Mrs. $. s. Ballaine, the wife of Rev. s. s. Ballaine, of Horine Sta tion, Jefferson County, Mo. Mrs. Ballaine has for many years led the life of an invalid to whom the dread summons might come at any moment, until O kind providence threw in her way the remedy that has restored her health, her vigor, one would almost say, heryouth. Her recovery is unsurpassed in the history of medical science and should be repeated in every paper and publication in the land that others suffering with the same terrible aflliction might profit by the experience of Mrs. Ballaine and be saved. A correspondent of the Globe Democrat determined to start tho good work and called at the Ballaine Home, believing that the story would be of far greater value and interest if told in the lady's own words.

About six years ago was attacked with variety of afiic- tions, such as short breath, extreme weak ness, fainting spells, and most annoying of all a burning, irritating nettlc rash, that at times rendered me almost frantic, and, as you can readily understand, seriously aggra- vated my heart troubles. l had settled down to contemplate the end, and such was my suffering that, wicked as It was, some times prayed for it, when one day glancing over religious paper published in Mon treal, read the testimony of 0 lady whose case was much like mine, and who had been benefited by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Having seen similar accounts in other reputable papers, resolved to try them. It was heaven-sent resolution. The first box had most miraculous effect The nettle rash disappeared as if by mgaic, and my trouble yielded to the medicine like the snow yields to the spring-time sun, and feel better to-day than l have for twenty years. can not say too much about my improved condition. My blood is full and rich, my appetite is good, my nerves are steady, l sleep soundly and wake up re- freshed, l climb the hills of our farm with out fatigue and perform ali the manifold duties of the farmers wife, and surely my heart must be in a normal state when an t. swer to all these conditions"
 Newspaper ethics usually prevent thepub- licatioD in the news columns of anything that might be construed as gin advertise ment and thus much valuable knowledge is suppressed that might prove of incalcula- ble benefit to thousands. The praise of Dr. Williams Pink Pills should be sung throughout the land. They should be as fa- miliar in every household as the name of the nation, and the newspapers should unite in making them 80.
