Williams' Pink Tills for l'ale People, Many of these euros have occurred in our own province, and all of them havo heon vouched for hy newspapers of woll known standing, whoso disinterestedness leaves no room to doubt tho accuracy of the statements made. Hut if anything woro needed to convince the skeptical among our readers (if any thero ho) and bring iuto greater prominoneo the surpassing merit of thi.i wonderful life-giving remedy, il is found in tho fact that the Independent has been ablo to give iho parcloulars of several remarkable cures in our own neighborhood, every detail of which can ho easily verified l��v any Interested in no doing. A short timo ago wo gave the particulars of tho recovery of litilo (Joorge Veal, which haa attracted ao muoh notice and added to the fame of Dr. Williams1 Piuk I'ills iu this locality. A few days ago this case was tilt topic of conversation in one of our local Btorea, when a gentleman present said he know of a 0090 111 town oven more surprising. The Independent, alert for anything lhat would Interest ils readers, asked for some further particulars, and was informed that the person referred to was Mrs, JaillOS LawBon,nn esteemed resilient of Wonilvillo, who bad been utterly helpless for a time, her recovery despaired of and who is now, through the almost magical virtues of Dr, Williams' I'ink Pills, recovered and able lo lie about -mmi moro. A fow days after this, meeting Mr. Lawson on the street, The Independent inquired if it were true, ua stated, that his wifo owed her recovery to tho uso of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Ves, replied Mr. I.., and not only my wifo but 1 was cured hy thom also. It yon will call at the houae you oan have tho full purtioulara if you want thom. Mr. Lawson haa hem a resident ut Wood villa for over twenty years, and ia well known and highly respected by all. On nailing til hia house we found both Mr. and Mrs. Lawaon at home, nnd ipltto willing to give the desired Information. 'They aro an intelligent couple and those acquainted wiih thom will havo no hesitation iu giving implicit cnnlidenco In their statements. Mr. Lawaon ataled that he had been ailing for years, his appetite failed; ho bocame weak and unahle to work. He received niodical assistance, hni found it of uo avail, and at Inst bo was. con fined to the house wilh litllo prospect of recovery as was thought. He bad read of the wonderful cures ethVted by Dr. With iaina' I'ink I'ills and determined to give them a trial. Ho soon loiiud benefit from thom and continuing their use entirely recovered, and i�� now enjoying better health than bo has previously dono for years and is (mlto as able as formerly to do a day'.* work. Mra. Lawson also told of her terrible anlTerlngs. For threo years sho bad heon unable til do housework, and for nine inoutha was confined to bed, boing so helpless that she had to he lifted like a child. She had consulted iloctors in Toronto and taken their prescriptions hut found no relief. Her nervous system waa wholly unstrung and she Buffered from disease of the spine. The doctors told her it would ho necessary to perforin an operation on hcrspine.otherwise she could not get relief, Sho refused to havo'.he operation pei formed, knowing that il would make her a cripple for life, and she considered thai condition na bad as bor then state of -"tillering. At last alio began lho use of Dr. Williams' I'ink Fills and had nol heen taking them long when she found their good ofToOta. She found herself getting Stronger, and was ablo to leave her bed. At first she had to use crutches, but continuing the use of Pink I'ills ahe was able to throw away first one and then the other of t ho crutches and is now not, only able to walk freely, hut to all end to hor household duties ns formerly. In fact she saya that,-he is now atrnngor ihan she hns been for many years. Herappetitohus returned, hor nerve and spine troubles Have disappeared, and she rejoices in Complete recovery which sho attributes solely to the use of Dr. Williams' I'ink Fills, ami which nhe recommends to I hose troubled with nervous prostration, diseases of the t-pine or general debility. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lawson attribute their recovery under Providence to tho use of ibis marvellous medloine which has been such a blessing in our land, and they ure willing that all others ahould enjoy tho knowledge of lheir wonderful virtue. Dr. Williams' I'ink Fills arc a perfect blood bnlhlor and nerve rcatorer, curing such diseases as riienmat ism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, Nl. Vitus1 dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and lho tired feeling therefrom, the after ell'ects nf hi grippe, inilnenza and nevcm colds, diseases depending on humors iu tbe blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Fink Fills givo a healthy glow lo palo aud sallow complexions, and are a spec'fio for the troubles peculiar to tho female system, and in tho case of men thoy effect a radical cure, in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of any natuio. Thoso Fills aro manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, BroekvUlo, Ont., and Schenectady, N. V., and am sold only In boxes hearing tho firm's trade mark and wrapper, at Mic a box, or six boxes for S2 f>0. Boar in mind that Dr, Williams' Fink Fills are never sold in bulk, or by lhe dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes iu lids form is trying to dofraud yon and should Is* avoided. Thc public are also cautioned against nil other so-called blood builders and nerve tonics no matter what namo he given them. They aro all Imitations whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary advantage from ihe wonderful reputation achieved hy Dr. Williama'Fink Fills, Aak your denier for Dr. Williams' I'ink Fills for Falo Peoplo nnd refuse all Imitations and substitutes. Dr. Williama'I'ink Pilla may he bad of nil druggists or direct hy mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Oompany from either address. The prlco at which theso pills are sold makes a cnurse of treatment comparatively Inexpensive ns compared with other remedies or medical treatment.

It was a big strain on him, hut he stuck (o it, and Finn lawyer if ha didn't hold that train together for two miles, and no doubt saved the lives of all tho passengers in lhe roar coaches. They thought so, anyhow, nnd made me up the purse of J500." The drummer coughed. "What, became of the anaconda t ho enquired casually. "Ho gave me my start,' replied lho narrator. "Vou see, tho $800 wasn't a drop in the bucket; but when wo got tho snake loose the strain on him had stretched him out UO feet longer, and I went into St. Louis wilh a snake thai no other exhibitor could hold a candle to, and if you don't believe me 1 can ahow you that snake stuffed and bung up in my hall at Denver," The drummer got up with tho air ofa man who was uneasy.

Reasonable rates. Bur suppliod with the choicest liquors and cigars R. Graham, Propr. This town is located in the midst ofthe largest agricultural settlement on Vancouver Island. It is within six miles of Union Mines affording the farmers of the valley the very best home market, and is situated on the only highway- leading from the settlement to the mines. The lumber interests of this section are most ex tensive, and are an important factor in our progress. The per cent of improvements of this town during the present year is greater than any other place the Coast can boast of, and the march of improvement is still onward. The prosperity of the town has for its foundations, therefore large mineral, agricultural, and timber recources. It may also be added that no section furnishes a better field for the sportsman. Fish and game are always abundant and our hotels of the best. Wm. Cheney [ Office at the bridge ] OOTTK.TH13Sr-A.-r B. O. Real Estate Agent and Auctioneer. Lots sold on easy terms.
