A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

II Is not common occurrence that n
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years OF happiness and
health to the person needing the advice II
carried. This was the case with Mnry
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragg ing
out her days in misery. AT sixty-one she
do work that would shame many a younger
woman, and looks back thirty-six
happy, healthiul years of industry. But
let her tell her story;
"rhirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on 1t. and they
blistered my side in effort 10 give me
relief. I was at that time earning my
living as n tailoress. but for hve years.
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery. and
work was a drag to me. with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, n
friend advised me to take DR.. Ayers Sar-
saparilia, and finally persuaded me to take

and she stopped. 81 never thought

under her breath.

|, don't cry. Dorothy. You shall have
everything as you want it."
The result of all this was that, two
days later. Dorothy and Barbsta went
off to Bournemouth. accompanied by
Lorne Doone in big basket. and there
they remained, quietly and gradually
recovering from the great shock of
Miss Dimsdale's death. II they were
not very happy in their simple lodg-
ings they were very peaceful, and once
Dick came and stayed at the hotel near
for a couple of days. and then Dorothy
was very happy indeed
During this time their banns were
published in one of the churches at
Bournemouth and also in a London
church. in the parish of which Dick
engaged a room and put therein some
of his belongings, so as to make him
self standing in the place. But Dick
was only at Bournemouth for those
two days, and twice when David Stew
enson was in Colchester on business he
happened to meet him In the street,
not little to his relief.
And SIR. Marks meantime worked
away and. for a lawyer, really hurried
things up in wonderful way, SO
that by the time Dorothy's twenty-first
birthday came everything was settled.
and he was ready to hand over to her
the money to which she was entitled
under her aunt's will. Mr.. Marks
therefore wrote to her. telling her that
he was ready to hand over to Barbara
the sum of one hundred pounds; to her.
Dorothy, a sum of thirteen hundred
and forty-five pounds. the sum left
over and above after all expenses had
been paid. He asked her also when
she and Barbara would be able to
meet him and Mr.. Stevenson, the
executor of Miss Dimsdales will.
Dorothy replied at once that she
would be in London two days later.
and IL 1t suited them both would meet
them there-would he write 10 Mr..
Morley's Hotel. to say II that would
be convenient? And eventually they
did meet at Morley's Hotel, and Doro-
thy and Barbara signed the necessary
papers. heard the necessary explana-
tions. and from that moment were alb

MARY LISoARp, Woodstock, Ont
DR.. Ayers snrsapariIla 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 20 strong
as this personal testimony. IL throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock OF expert
ence challenging every skeptic with a

with its purifying and vitaiising action on
the blood Is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors. sores,
ulcers, boiis. eruptiops and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with IN. Ayers sarsapa-

Mary Lingard began with bottle, and
went on 10 a course of DR.. Ayers sarsapa-

that n medicine thnt could cure disease
could also prevent II. So she took couple

Lovers and admirers of the fair sex
and who is not comprised within
that classification would find a book
that might very well be written about
women remarkable for some physical
or mental peculiarities unusually in
teresting. As a sample of the curious
stories that might be collected. let the
reader mark and digest the following:
There was Mrs. Dorothy Collier. whose
death is recorded in the public Jour
mails for 1764. She was the largest
woman OF her time. Weighing upwards
of 80 stone. and yet was very active"
as we are assured. Her coffin was two
yards two inches in length. yard and
four inches broad. and two feet six
inches deep-which proves that Mrs.
Golfers husband could have no rea-
son to complain on the score OF guam
tity.
Then we have Mrs. Sarah Rawlins.
who married at nineteen years of age.
and lived with her husband twenty
seven years. during which period she
had fourteen children. Her second
husband she also lived with twenty
seven years. and the number of her
children. grandchildren. and great
grandchildren at her decease was no
less than 32s. "of whom" says the
chronicler in 1861, ''is2 are now liv-
ing" and very respectable progeny
too.

And then they went on to Dick.s
hotel. where they had a champagne
lunch in private room. and Dick
drank to his BRIDES health and Doro-
thy drank TO his, and Barbara drank
to them both. and then insisted that
the wine had got into her head.
And after that they parted for q
short time. Dorothy and Barbara going
on to Morley's to fetch their luggage
and pay their bill. and meeting Dick
again with his belongings at Victoria
Station. where they parted in earnest
from Barbara, who was going to spend
the two months with various friends
and relations In or around London.

away beyond speaking distance.

They were soon away from London
