dent of Western Canada, and the fol-
lowing, published in the Brown City

see home after home for miles, and it
is becoming thickly settled all around
us. With the exception Of the last
few days which have been cold and
stormy, We have had beautiful spring
weather ever since came. The days
are beautiful. call this the land Of

shining; the nights are cold and
frosty. On arriving here, was so
greatly surprised in every way. Dds
bury is quite a business little town.
All the people l meet are so pleasant
and hospitable. They have four
churches in Didsbury-the Baptist,
Presbyterian, Evangelical and Mem
MONTE. The Evangelicals have Just
completed a handsome church, very
large and finely furnished, costing
$500. They have a nice literary
society here, meets every two weeks.
They have fine musical talent here.

doctor after DOCTOR but all food hurt me so I had
to almost live on masnesia and soda. All solid
food distressed me water would out of ny

IT had terrible night sweats, and my doctor
finally said had consumption and must die. My
good wife gave up all hope. We at Old

some and persuaded me to try 1t. had no faith
In it, but took 1t to please her. To my surprise 1t
did not distress all other food had done, and
before had taken the fifth package was well on

THE pains left my head: my mind became
clearer; gained weight rapidly. l went back to
my work again, and nov. after six weeks of
the food. l am better and stronger than ever be-
