ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice 1t
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. AT sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years Of industry. But
let her tell her story:

The Fullness Thereof.

Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness Thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
so much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure Of man, there
are always remedies good. better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In

stiffness, the efficacy of st. Jacobs Oil

vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

For three years he fingered in this con-
dition. Then by some friends he was ad-
vised to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there was
slight change. The first thing noted was
tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came little feeling in his limbs.
This extended, followed by pricking sensa-

freely, naturally and vigorously through

to returning strength, the ability to walk

DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
TO every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried ii and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing strong

with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,

low some clippings, taken from the same
paper two years afterward, and there is not
the slightest shadow of doubt, in view of
this testimony, that Mr.. Petch's cure is
permanent. Here follows the account:
On being again questioned, Mr.. Petch
said: "You see those hands-the skin is now
natural and elastic Once they were hard
and without sensation. You could pierce
them with a pin and would not feel it, and
what is true of my hands is true of therest
of my body. Perhaps you have observed
that T have now even ceased to use a cane,

The Monitor, newspaper published at
Neaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered this
case two years ago, and published it at
length, which now seems, owing to the
cure of it, to be a miracle. The facts were
so remarkable that many people doubted
the truth of them. They said: 1T is too re-
markable it cannot possibly be true; the
paper is mistaken, and the man, although
ho may think himself cured, will soon re-
lapse into his former condition." ETC., etc.
The accuracy of it's report called in ques-
ton, the Monitor determined to find out
definitely whether the facts were as stated
and whether the man would really stay
cured. They accordingly kept a close
watch on the case for too years after the
