To the Editor
Dear Sir,
l came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago.
and must say that l am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun-
try. For my own part l am entirely
satisfied with the progress l have
made since coming here. / have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
% bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had a splendid garden this year.
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
kindred sorts.
The country is well adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind it is the best country IN
der the sun for man with family
and small means, as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
tons with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, 1 am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption. and 1
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced STAGES.

Rheumatism is painful infamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of tie joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling iii one joint or muscle for
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly ON the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
St., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork- My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
/ had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. 1 frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
''About two years ago I began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
''Dr. Williams Pink Pills We're rec
commended to me by friend, after I had
failed to get well from the doctors

pills, the rheumatism was at its worst.
had taken only a few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after
ward felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less and less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
I have never had any return of the rheu-
matism.'
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. AS tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.
