BAD TIMES FOR THE FLORIST.  It is not always sunshine and full bloom with the florist. After a short conversation with an expert one learns something of the other side cf the business, and an interview with Mr. William Kenton, owning extensive nurseries in Lincolnshire, at Newmarket, Louth, is certainly instructive. Mr. Kenton, whose sixty years sit ligtly on him has given some valuable points to a "Louth News" reporter. "My business," said he, "as a nurseryman and florist. naturally exposes me a good deal to fluctuations of temperature and, as a consequence, repeated colds. In my early days I had a tendency to rheumatism in various forms; I suffered more or less from lumbago, being seized on many occasions all at once. About three years ago I was seized with a very bad attack of lumbago, and sciatica following, in both hips, made me a cripple; I was unable to turn in bed, and remained in the doctor's hands for just six months. Many thought I would never recover, for nothing seemed to have any effect on the complaint. Rheumatism is hereditary in my case. My father suffered from it continually. "However, I mustn't complain, for I am set up again." Mr. Kenton continued "I read a good deal about Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people and thought I would quietly try them for myself. I said nothing, but purchased a box, and in less than a fortnight I was considerably better. Before I had taken two boxes I had thrown away my sticks, and I was quite well. lam not a paid agent of the Dr. Williams' Company; I am simply disposed to speak well of these pills. I found them a splendid tonic for the system, and as far as I was concerned a preventative from lumbago and sciatica." -  "You look hale and hearty now, Mr. Kenton." _  "I am as well as i can wish to be," observed  The trying heat di summer tempts people to become cool at any cost, and dangerous chills are often the result. The effect may not be noticed immediately, but the blood is impoverished, and in late autumn a sharp attack of • rheumatism or sciatica is felt. Dr. Williams' pink pills are unrivalled as a tonic, and as a rimedy for the debilitating effects of hot, relaxing, summer weather. Among the other disorders cured by the genuine pills (sold by chemists and Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn Viaduct, London, at two shillings and ninepence a box, or thirteen and nine for six boxes) may be named paralysis, consumption, bronchitis, rickets, anremia, indigestion, palpitations, all forms of female weakness and hysteria, but substitutes, which can be identified, as they never bear the full name, should always be rejected. Shopkeepers only try to press them upon people whom they think easy to deceive.  The second diabolical attempt, during the pod few weeks, to wreck an Irish Great Northern Railway train has been reported, this effort being directed towards a passenger train between Clones and Smithborough. It was discovered just in time to avert a disaster.  ~ At Barnsley, two miners from Grimethorpe, a . could sincerely say to Mr. Gordon : " Well new colliery village, were fined—one £.50 and the other £2o—for the illicit sale of drink to lodgers clone thou good and filithfid servant.
