HE LOST FAITH.
From the Gazette. Baldactnsui1e, N. 7

The Gazette has advertised many rene
dies, but none which could not give sat
isfactory proof of being possessed Of real
merit. We made an investigation in re-
egard to Pink Pills the other day. and at
the instance of Gardner & Davis, drug
gists interviewed Herbert Spencer. We
never saw a stronger or more straightfor-
ward endorsement.
LAS you know, | am now, and have
been for years employed in the sash and
blind factory of Bliss & Suydam. About
twelve years ago l was attacked with
rheumatism in my lower limbs, and it is
impossible to describe my sutferings. ]
tried number of physicians and count
less advertised remedies, but if l obtained
any relief it WAS only temporary. My
feet were swollen so it was necessary to
wear shoes several sizes too large, and
then cut them open at that.

necessary to crawl kept at work. most

money than / could afford with the
hope that somewhere there might be re-
lief About this time my sister-in-law
saw in newspaper an account of man
at Galway, n. Y, whom it stated had
been cured by medicine known as
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. AS | had lost all faith in every rem
edy my sister-in-law. unknown to me,
wrote to the man asking it the article
was true. She received reply stating
that it was not only true, but that the
Pink Pills would do all that was claim
ed for them. I went at once to the drug
store of Gardner .& Davis and bought

With the second box I began to improve,
and continued the use of the pills until
/ he'd taken twelve boxes, when l was
fully relieved of all rheumatic trouble.
I would say that it is necess airy to fol-
low the directions infinitely. They mean
Just what they say, and to get the best
results with the Pink Pills you must do
exactly as you are told -
Replying to the question as to whether
be could recommend Pink Pills, Mr..
Spencer said:
Recommend them? Well, I guess
can recommend them! Why I suffered
night and day beyond my powers to de-
scribe. I consider 1t the only remedy
which is sure to cure rheumatism. l can
not too forcibly express my faith in Pink
Pills for Pale People"

Paderewski Recitals.
To the Editor Of the Press:

% GN6 EGtGOT " tto ITSSSs
The great Paderewski has come and
gone.
There is no denying that he is one of
the musical marvels of the age; his exc
cution and technique are simply phenom-
email and his touch is perhaps best de.
scribed as poetic.
Two brilliant audiences created the
renowned pianist, and it is to be pre-
sumed they enjoyed the reoitals; but on
ly an exceedingly small proportion of the
audiences really com pretended what they
were listening to. The fact that a mas
ter hand controlled the instrument was
evident to all, but the fact was also ev-
ident that Paderewski played vastly over
the heads of his hearers. Had his pro-
gramme contained numbers like the
