HE WENT ON CRUTCHES
All Medicines Failed Until Or. VIII
iiams' Pink Pills Cured His
rheumatism,

"Some years ago." says Mr.. w. n.
Clark, printer, living at 612 Buchanan
street, Topeka, Kans., II had bad at
tack OF rheumatism and could not seem
to get over it. All sorts of medicines
failed to do me any good and nv trouble
Kept getting worse. My feet were so
swollen that could not wear shoes and
I had to go on crutches. The pain was
terrible.
Zone day I was setting the type of an
article for the paper telling what DR..
Williams Pink Pills had done for a man
afflicted as I was and I was so impressed
with it that determined to give the
medicine trial. For a year my rheu-
matism had been growing worse, but
after taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills
began to improve. The pain and swell
ing all disappeared and can truthfullv
say that haven t felt better in the past
twenty years than T do right now. I
could name, off hand, half-dozen peo-
pie who have used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills at my suggestion and who have re-
ceived good results from them"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor any
thing to cause a drug habit. They do not
act on the bowels but they actually make
new blood and strengthen the nerves.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-
tism because they make rich, red blood
and no man or woman can have healthy
blood and rheumatism at the same time.
They have also cured many cases Of
anamia, neuralgia, sciatica, partial pa
ralysis, locomotor atnxia and other dis
eases that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail, post
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box, six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Viii.

Il sposed you all thought so. I was
lookin out fer that myself Didn't

to try that on me.

up with my valyble services, an that
it'd be a pleasure to help me out'en

fooled me mite. You kin generally
tell skunk if you git clost enough

considerin' the offer,'' said the old man
with fine scorn, "but l was just
a-thinkin' what Allison told me, that

all, an was kinder openin' my eyes.

in writin'?' and he kinder hes'tated

he. Yes says, 4 kin, but I'm not

A LAND or OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Held. Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.

A. recent number Of the Winnipeg
NManitoba) Free Press contains an
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada, a portion of which
we are pleased to reproduce.
The agents Of the Canadian Gov.
eminent, located at different centres
in the States, will be pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
"Just now there is keener inter-
est than ever before on the part Of
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as field
OF settlement. At no previous time
has there been such rush of immi-
grafton, and the amount Of informa-
tion distributed broadcast Is unprece-
dentedly great.
"1n the majority of the States Of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving Of even modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things: It is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can
ada's great wheat belt, where every
man can pursue fortune without the
hindrance of any discouraging handi.
cap.
1.-THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and it's residents. The
promise of gain is powerful, but Wien
added to it there is the prospect 1t
corresponding social and civil e1ava.
ton, it should prove irresistible to
young men of particularly desirable
class for any new country.
''The Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des.
tined to become more than inArely
prosperous farmers. In the nea: flu.
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands of
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks field for the
energy and ability which he feels in
herent within him. The familiar cry
of Back to the soil!" is more than
a vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"
