There are thousands of people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost

from which they have obtained no help
There are thousands OF others who first or

found perfect healing. One of these
others, Mrs. A. Il. Taylor, of Englevale,
N. OAK. relates the following experience:
about two years ago, I nursed lady

blood poisoning. l must have contracted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out OIL my person. doctored for
long time. both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that could do. the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. Al last, purchased six bottles
ofDr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thinking would
give it a thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, noticed decided i'm

SPORTING TERMS IN FRENCH.
Some Odd aud Amusing Adaptations
OF the English Expressions Re-
1RtinS to wheeling.

1t is well known that the French
language is so deficient in all words
dealing with sport that they have to
be borrowed from English, and they
often undergo curious modifica tions in
transit. A distinguished Frenchman
named Saint-Maurice has lately pub
lished book with the delightful title
OF lie Recordsman''-an individual
who is, no doubt, closely related to
the "Yachtman," Of whom Pierre Lott
has written, and is possibly husband
OF the "Cyclewooman," who also fig
ures from time to time in the Partisan
sporting press. If the author of "Lc
Recordsman" is to be believed, CYCLIC
mania is disease which has attacked
the French nation in q far more acute
form than that with which we are
familiar, and in particular he has
good deal to say about the enthusi-
astic admiration excited by holders of
distance records in the eyes of the
fair sex. '.A ,.rs
Perhaps the most affecting story in
the book is that which relates the
death Of distinguished "pedaleur,"
who is followed to his grave by his
heart-broken widow, mounted upon
her steed of steel, and arrayed in
black silk blouse and "pantaloons de
deuil." The idea Of mourning knick-
erbockere" suggests the nonsense
