 From the Commercial, Bangor, lie.
 Mir Angus Grant is young man very we'll known in Vanceboro, Maine. At one time he lived in Michigan, where he followed the vocation of a lumberman, and while so engaged, in lifting heavy log he strained the small of his back so badly that he could work no more. While laid up with this painful injury, MT. Grant caught cold, which settled in his kidneys.
 The services of a prominent physician were obtained, who said it was kidney dis ease but that it would soon be cured, and believing in the doctors skill, placed him. self under treatment. MT. Grant says:
 " Instead of improving I daily grew worse, my flesh left me, and I was so weak and suffered such pain on attempting to walk that I absolutely could not move. My urine became loaded and bloody, and I was obliged to take to my bed. Things looked dark for me, indeed. Hundreds of miles from home, money melting away while there was every prospect of my becoming 8 confirmed invalid.
 While lying in bed one day meditating on my hard fate, an acquaintance dropped in out of sympathy to poor stranger, and asked if nothing could be done to better my condition. I told him that I had done everything in my power, that hope had deserted me, and I expected to die.
 "This friend then asked me if had ever used Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, for if not, he would strongly advise me to try them before giving up. I said I no longer had faith in anything though I had not tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and did not think I would.

A Miraculous Escape.
What Lowell Reporter Discovered in

From the Neecs. Lo,0eU, Mass.

From the NeaoS, Lo,OeIl, Mass.
 MT. Hiram Spaulding, who was for many years the proprietor of the Massapong House, a Boston summer resort, is undoubtedly as well known as any man in Middlesex County. MT. Spaulding, besides having been a pOpu- lar hotel man, boasts of being lineal de- scendant of John Spaulding, a well known soldier who was killed in action with the Indians while serving in the command of the famous Captain John Tyng in 1894. He also is we'll known as the first leader of the celebrated Dunstable Cornet Band, of Dun- stable, Mass, familiarly known as the " mounted band" Altogether Bandmaster Spaulding is perhaps the best known citizen in town, and respected everywhere for his uprightness and sterling character.
 Mrs. Nellie A. Spaulding is the wife of this gentleman, and almost as well known as her popular husband. A recent severe illness from overwOrk and malaria caused grave fears among her numerous acquaint- ances, and the local physicians seemed pow erless to aid her. Chills and fever, impaired action of heart and liver, and general wretch edness were her portion, until her attention was called to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and she began to use them. On Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7, 1896, Mrs. Spaulding finished the first box of these pills, and she informed the NeacS reporter that on that day she performed one of the hardest days work ever accomplished by her. She is still taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills according to directions, and all traces of malarial poison seem to have vanished.
 No one was more astonished at my re- covery than my husband and my neighbors, and they are not surprised" said she, "to find in me such champion for what is destined to become household medicine, the precious Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 At the request of Mrs. Spaulding, the Ne1es reporter called on several persons i'll the town of Dunstable, all highly respect able ladies of prominence in the community, he found them using "Dr. Williams Pink Pills with good results, and after a fair trial will (so they thought) be ready to add their their medicinal and curative worth, espe- cially in chronic cases of nervousness.

From the Vermont Tribune, LudtoW, Vt.
 No more picturesque spot could be found in the Green Mountain State than that of Plymouth. It is situated far up in the Black River Valley, twelve miles from Ludlow and on the stage road from Ludlow to Woodstock. It is surrounded by high hills, which form part of the Green Moun- tain range. Aside from farming, the prin- cipal industry is that of quarrying and burn- ing lime.
 One of the first to engage in the lime busi- ness in that town was Nathan Hall, who died about two months ago at the great age of 88 years. He was a man of superior in- telligence and accumulated large property. In fact, for more than two generations the name of Hall has been associated with the lime business at this place.
 One of the sons of Nathan Hall is Eleazer Hall, who is still carrying on the lime busi- ness. The report was circulating largely some time ago that his two daughters had received great benefit from the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and your correspondent called on MT. Hall to ascertain the real facts in the case. Mir. Hall, and also his wife, spoke freely and enJnuSldSClcHlly or WndC LnlS feu0uy nau done for their daughters, Cora and Nellie.
 Referring to this statement of her husband Mrs. Hall said:
 It is true, every word of it, and if only could reach the tired and worn mothers of this land, who daily sink down, how much good I could do by telling this story of my Cora. I have had people stop me in the road to inquire what it was that helped her, and truly I could say, Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Four boxes at the price of one doctors visit from Ludlow (82,6O) has done it all six boxes taken in all"
 Following is Mir. Halls sworn statement:
 "I, Eleazer A. Hall, of Plymouth, Vt., make the following statement in regard to the use of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People by the members of my own family, principally by my daughters Cora Belle Hall and Nellie A. Hall aged respectively twenty-four and twenty years.
 About four years ago was visiting rela- tives in Granville, Vt, and as my oldest daughters health needed attention 1 was on the lookout for remedies and there became first acquainted with Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and purchased the first box My daughter Cora afterward took six boxes of these pills which so completely cured her that she was restored to complete health, remaining so to this day Her weight was formerly 98 pounds, it is now 132 pounds
 Four years ago her condition cast gloom over the family and caused anxiety among the large circle of friends and neighbors. The mysterious whisper she is going into consumption, was heard. AD8mia, night sweats, pale, sallow complexion, enlarge ment of the heart, rheumatism, and even bloating, began to follow each other in rapid succession as the stages of the disease devel- oped themselves.
