Canadian Railway Accident Insurance Company. A Miner's Association Organised** The Road Quostlon Dlseusse-1 at Greet Length. A publio meeting, convened by E. A. Haggen, was held at the Columbia House on Tuesday night, There was a large attendance. The convener was voted to the chair and explained that that tbe objects of the meeting were to form a Miner's Association and to consider the question of roads in tho district, M. Dainard said his idoa was that the Government would not build all the roads asked for and that therefore the best plan would be to ask them to build the road that would give a shipping mine immediately. His own interest was on the middle fork, but Major Clohecy had spent in development more than any other company and was prepared to put in machinery as soon as he could get it there. One shipping mine would benefit every person that was interested. He moved tbat the Government be asked to open the Beaver, Spillimachene and Bugaboo roads, and in the event of their being unablo to undertake the whole of them, that preference be given to the Beaver road, as it would give them a shipping mine. W. G. Mitchell-Innes seconded pro forma. He urged, however, that the beat way to bring their views before the Government was to form Miners' Association to go into the whole matter, and let tbe committee decide which was tho most important work to be done first. Hon. F. W. Aylmer agreed with Mr. Mitchell-Innes. They should first form the association nnd then get their business in proper order. Uis experience was that petitions had very little weight, whereas suggestions coming from an assooiiitien properly formed might have some weight. W. G. Mitchell Innes then moved "that nn association be formed to be called the Golden Minors' Association andthat it be represented by a permanent coinmittoe to consist of the following: Hon. P, W. Aylmer, T. Mc- Nauulit, W. McNeish, H, G. Low and ��. A. Haggen. C. A. Warren seconded. M. Dainard said the association should have a president and officers, and t here should bs a small tee for j covering expenses. Hon. F. W. Aylmer said his idea in appointing the committee was thut they should draw up a constitution. On the motion of A. Granger, seconded by Capt. Armstrong, it was resolved that the committee be instructed to draw np a constitution and submit it to n future meeting. The matter of roads then camo up for consideration. Hon, F.W. Aylmer asked what had been the practise hitherto? Capt. Armstrong aaid in the caso of the Silver King the estimate for the road was 114,000 and the Government and the company eaoh contributed half, but nearly all the mining companies with which he was acquainted had built tbeir own roads. Hon. F. \V. Aylmer urged that they should not ask the Government to do something they oould not. The Gov ernment gave a certain amount to the North Star. Although Major Clohecv's properties were in a position to ship ore they had no data aa to the estimated cost of the Beaver road. It would be a good idea if the committee would find out the cost of theae roads. Major Clohecy said it seemed to bo assumed that this road was wanted for this particular mino. The proposed wagon road would only go 25 miles to the head of the Benver and his company would then require to construct an aerial tramway three miles in length before they conld make use of it. In addition the rond up Beaver Creek would givo access to 14 locations of which he had knowledge and he waa informed that the lie hnd knowledge of less than half ot them. On the other side of the valley there had not yet been a stake driven although it was a very favorable locality for prospectors. This road would therefore also oron up a now ection of tho country. By the presents trail they had a distance of 55 miles to cover to get to the Bennison, and it cost them f 77 to 180 a Ion to get in their supplies. Their mino would be benefitted by that road because then tbey oould deliver ore at the railway at 110 a ton, whereas tho liest offer now was 158 a ton. That waa a sufficient inducement to them to keep their ore there until the proper menus of transportation was obtained. They had on the Bennison Group nine parellel veins within a width of 1000 feet. The smallest was two and a halt feet and the largest IS feet. They had taken ore from the extreme southern end ot the Boston vein which went something like 1200 per ton, They then went 800 or 400 foot further and out the main vein 12 feet wide from whioh they got ore that gave as muoh as six ounces per ton In gold. He shipped ore that went 1180 a ton in gold, silver, lead and oopper. They had also driven tunnels on the 250 feet and 1000 feet levels. From the work now done tbey had 70,000 tons ol ore in eight without taking into consideration the other veins. He would like to know before he went away whether this road was to be set aside in favor of the road by the middle fork, because on their decision would rest the fnct as to whether he was to go any further with bis work. In 1881 the C. P. It, proposed to build a branch up the Bearer River, so tiuit the undertaking could not be a very difficult one from an engineering point ot view. Capt. Armstrong said he had been surprised at being nsked to sign a petition to build a wagou roud up the Beaver. He hnd always worked tor Golden and did not think it was to their interests to work tor Bear Creek Instead. Hon. F. W. Aylm,-r said thst whst they wanted to get at was what would benefit themselves. The question was what action could they tuke to give this plauo a "boost" in mining? A. Granger moved that the committee be instructed to make full enquiries into the different roads proposed and report to a future meeting. Seconded by W. G. Mitchell-Innes. Capt. Armstrong contended thnt Spilliuiielieiie was the proper outlet for the MoMurdo country. The motion wns then put and carried, tlie meeting concluding with votes of thanks to W. McNeish tor tbe use ot room and to the chairman. ROUND ABOUT THE MINES COLUMBIA VALLEY TO THE YUKON Deputation to Hon. OltlToril Sifton-* The Proposed Route Dlscassed*-!io favors tho Sttekeon Route. On Sunday Capt. Armslrong and Messrs. McNeish nnd Haggen met tlio Hon. Mr. Sifton at Donald end interviewed him with reference lo the proposed rosd up the Columbia Valley to tho Yukon. The deputation accompanied the Minister as fnr as Goldcn and discussed the matter very fully on the way. The Minister replied that from what he had seen no route could compare for cheapness of (might and ease of access with tbe proposed route from Victoria up the Stickine River, and thence 160 miles by road to Terjlin Lake, whence tbey had an all water route to the Yukon. He was now having a thorough report made or. that river as a navigable stream, nnd tho information so far went to show that ut the lowest point on the river there was six feet of water. " Aa to the land routes, what they bad to consider was the provisiou of a route that could be made available as quickly as possible for driving stock through to the goldfields. The Ashcroft route was undoubtedly the best for that purpose. They had 250 miles of wagon road made there already, and an excellent trail nt another 150 miles to the Omenica. From there it waa only a short distance to Teslin Lake. He wus having t hut routo investigated and if it was what it was stated to bo he would hare the bridges put in repair and the trail opened for stock traffic as soon us possible. That was really all that was necessary, and at the present time when promptness of action was necessary on the part ot the Government they had to make the most of existing conditions. The deputation pointed out that the road proposed by tbe Columbia Valley would open up gold bearing country, such as the Omenica and Peace River country. There was also no doubt that there would be a great many people go overland to the Yukon. The Minister replied that was ot- course tho best argument in their fitvor, and as soon as ns any discoveries took pluce in the southern portion of the Territories to justify the expenditure, the Government would take stops to open the best routes to give access to thom. He regrc'.ted that lie could not give the deputation a more favorable answer as to the routo they atked lor, "Goldon next" being shouted along tho train the deputation thanked lhe Minister and withdrew, hoping that the time would soon como whon the diacoverics on the Fraser and Parsnip rivers will give them justification for asking the Minister to redeem bis promise of opening a road to that diatrict, when tho Upper Columbia Valley road will no dcubt be the principal and most convenient means of access. The Ibex Mining Company has come to grief for want of capiatl. Mr. Munn, on behalf ot Ottawa capitalists, has bonded the claims in which Ben Abel is interested on Dutch Creek. ' The Hon. Mr. Sifton informs us that there is a claim at tho Yukon for every person In Canada. There are 19 claims recoided on Dutch Creek, some of which give promise of turning out good properties. Lardeau Jack returned on Saturday from his season's exploration et the country around Fort Steele. He informs us that he intends going to the Klondike. Ben Abel, ot Galena, has lad n long experience in prospecting, having spent a great ninny years ill Idaho, Washington and Monti.na before coming to East Kootenay. Mr. Wood, of Vancouver.has bonded the Eureka and Crown Point claims on Toby Creek, from Messrs Morijeau and Lake respectively, the price being $500 cash for each claim within UO dayn. Tlie Dutch Creek trail, the contract for the construction of which was let to Ben Abel, bas heen carried nbout 27 miles up Dutch Creek and will be a j great boon to prospectors exploring that part of thc country next season. 1-1.

Nothing shows this better' than tho fact thnt the revenue was $1,200 mo e than for any previous year, nnd in order to meet the requirements of prospectors as far as possible the Government has spent the whole of this increased revenue in improving existing roads and iu opening new trails. The large increase of business in the conveyancing book shows that Recorder Goldie must have had a busy time copying conveyances besides recording new claims.

To tho Editor of The Golden Era. Dkab Sin. - Permit i.s space to give a tew words of explanation with regard to tho editorial uppeai-ing in your issue of Nov. 12th. Five years ago when Mr.*Arii>strong was one of the trustees of the school board the subject oi cleaning mid heating the school was brought forward as the school grant was too small. The school trustees wrote to the Educa'iou department about tbe grant being loo small and they replied that the grant was the same as to nil country schools and that it could not le increased and thc true-tees would have lo arrange among tho parents for env ..mount necessary to clean and heat the school. A public meeting was held whero it was suggested and agreed upon tliut each family pny 20 rents per mouth for these purposes. I)nr ing the time Miss Proctor was teaching this was increased to 25 cents per month. Since then the people have paid for cleaning and heating the school until the present disturbing element lias appeared in our in,list. There seems i o lie a very evi'uncous impression in the minds of some purple in Golden district that the late teacher cleaned out tho school and put on the fin-s without pay. They have only to interview lust year's secretary- treasurer, Mr. Co'iunr, to find out that she was paid by him for doing so, there being a surplus left over from '95, part from the school plant and money collected from the children. When the Presbyterian and Methodist chinch people had the use of the school for their services tho money they paid for this privilege went into lhe treasury, and was used for school purposes This gave the trustees money above lhe school grant. Last year and this year we have no such funds coming into the treasury, consequently a shortage. Wo have simply tho (40 grant. After paying the i iciilciitals since the lleginning ef the year and now furnishing the winter's supply o- wood nothing will be loft in the trrasf urv.

The people of Windermere are endeavoring to have a school opened there but an unforeseen difficulty has cropped up as regards a building. At the time that the Presbyterian church was built it was an understanding with those that subscribed that, if the building was wanted for a school the uso of it for such purpose would be uranted. Now, however, the committee who propose to arrange for the opening of a school are confronted with a letter from ono of tho trustees refusing to give the building for the purpose. This is too bad. The church should be tho lust to set the example of such a gross broach of faith, and we have written to Dr. Robertson, who is in charge of the Presbyterian mission this province, on the subject. The Presbyterian church has always stood out for the cause of education at home and abroad, and we believe that on this occasion thc chinch will not prove an exception but that hor chief officers will be glad to help the people ot Windermero all thoy can. If the School Trustees of Windermero insure the building to provide for its instato- ment in caso of 6i-o then there cannot possibly be any objection to lhe granting of the use of the building, and we are much mistaken in Dr. Robertson if he does not immediately accede to the request that has been made of him. THE MINING ASSOCIATION. The new Miner's Association has much to do. There is the amendment of the law required to stop the three-stake business and to prevent locators holding claims year after year without doing work upon them, and thus locking np the country against the bona fide mining man. Then there are the increased facilities required in the shape of toads and trails to open up the mining camps. Then there is the question of bringing the resources of the district under the notice of investors who will be likely to develop these resources. Then there is the establishment at a convenient poiut in the district of a means of treating the various ores, and an improvement and cheapening in the cost of transportation where this can be done, especially in the cose of ores that have to be shipped by rail. Other matters will crop up from time to time that will require careful and judicious consideration. We hope tho associa- will put on one side any petty jeulousy or narrow-minded policy and aim only at the general welfare of lhe whole district. Tho operations of the association to our mind should not be confined to Golden but to the whole of the district now known as North East Kootenay. Let the best interests of the district bo focused in the association and it cannot fail to do good work. MAC-AY'S RANCH A Short Description ol the Well- Known Stopping Plane���A Oood Season's Crops. Mackay's ranoh bas long heen known as the crack stopping place betwein Golden and Fort Steele, due largely to the capablo manner in which Mrs. Mackay dispenses her hospitality, Mr. aud Mrs. Mackay hail from Prince Edward Island. For aome years they resided in the Northwest and about 10 years ago they removed to their present location in tho Columbia Valley, Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Clark of Fort Steele being the only white women theniuEast Kootenay .The homestead consists of 820 acres and is the centre of a fine cattle run while it also commands excellent hay meadows, though owing to the high water this season the hay on some of the meadows could not be cut. The farm is also well situated for irrigation. A good deal of log fencing has been done, At the homestead is a fine two storey dwelling house, stables, barn and cattle sheds. Attached to the dwelling house is a fruit and vegetable garden, the strawberry crops of which are celebrated throughout the length and breadth of Ihe valley. Smifll fruits are grown successfully, the raspberry, currant and goosberry oropa supplying the home made jams so popular at the table of the ranch. The crops this season include 10 acres of timothy hay whioh gave the excellent y ield of 40 tons, five and a half acres of osts for hay, and an acre of potatoes. The turnip crop was a failure, owing, it is believed, to its having been sown in new land. In addition to tho ordinary crops of the farm 100 tons of slough bay has been put up. About 100 head of cattle are kept and have done very well thie season. A number of sheep���about 30-are also run (or the use of the farm, and we are glad to hear that there have been no losses from coyotes. About 100 fowls are kept, also dairy cows sufficient for the requirements of the farm. J. Mackay is at present in tho Northwest buying young cattle to Increase the herd on the ranch. It is intended to improve the irrigation of of the ranch this season by putting-in four milos of an irrigation ditch.

While we congratulate the people of Golden on having at length organised a Miner's Association, we regret to have noticed the narrow minded spirit prevailing at the meeting held on Tuesday night. We claim to be its loyal as any to the interests ot Golden and we believe that with judicious management Golden can be made tho chief distributing centre for the northern portion of East Kootenay. That is not to be done however by any such narrow minded policy aa was put forward by somo of the speakers at the meeting. The people did not make the geography of the country or they might have arranged that all the valleys should meet at the C P. R. station at Golden, and they might then cry out with some reason The "Golden Era air line" is rapidly coming to the front as tho routo to the Yukon. Tho Canadian Gazette contains notice of an application, dated from Montreal, for a railway charter for a line to Yukon to run from Craubrook in East Kootenay up the Kootenay River to Canal Flat aud thence to tbe Columbia River to Canoe River across to the head waters of the Fraser River, thence to Gascoigne portage, across to Parsnip River, up to Findlav River, snd thence by the divide to Frances Lako and into the Yukon. Another company also wants to adopt the "Golden Era air line". The British Pacific Railway from Victoria to Winnipeg wants a charter tor a branoh down tbe valleys ot Canoe, Columbia and the Kootenay rivers to the 49th parallel of latitude. all the roads and all the ores and all the mine owners and mine workers should come into the town of Golden. Ores have to bo carried by the best and most economical moans of transportation, and the roads to afford such transportation must follow the best available moans of access, whether they go lo Field or Donald or Bear Creek or Beaver or Golden stations. What we want in this country are shipping mines and tbe road or roads that will first give us these are the first that should be built. Golden will gain more by a liberal common sense policy in this respect than by an attempt to drive mine owners and their ores where they wero never destined to go, or by a road over whioh ores cannot be transported at a profit. A shipping mine In this country will benefit overy mine owner and every A new station building is urgently- wanted at Golden and we think the C. P. R should give this matter aome attention. There is a larga rush of traffic to this station and it ia nothing unusual to see people packed liko herrings in the little box that now dot- duty for a waiting room. We trust that in tho new arrangements lhat are proposed at Golden station, a new thi t station building suited to the large A Veteran's Story.

Great dissatisfaction has been experienced at the Dominion Government having given the mail between Kalis- pel and Fort Steele to an American contractor. Certainly such straws show great carlessness on the part of the Postmaster General in overlooking the interest of his own nation, and when the Government set so disloyal an example what ahull we expect from the common people? Ill health is a luxury that only the tich can afford, and that no one can enjoy.

The following description of the Findlay River is extracted from Mr. R. G. Mctj'onuell's report of a trip made in 179b*. The Findlay River ia named after John Findlay, who ascended it in 1824 in the interest of the Northwest Company, From its junction witb the Parsnip to its head waters is a total length ot 310 miles, of whioh 200 are easily navigable wilh the exception of Deserter's Canyon, 90 miles from the mouth, which is half a mile long, but along the west bank of which a good portage track has been cut out by the Indians. The current seldom exceeds fire miles an hour. It flows through a wide foresied valley, the drift wood from whieh has formed piles at the heads ol all the bars and islands. At Fort Graham, 4f> miles above the mouth, a trail is stated to run eastward to the Liard. Sixteen miles above Fort Graham the Ingenica enters the Findlay from the west. It is a clear rapid river, navigable tor 80 miles, A trail to Bear Lake runs along tlie bank. It ia well worthy of being prospected, as it must out through the same band nf green and- dark schists from which the gold on tho Omenica is derived. Fine gold was found In the wash at the mouth of the river. Fourteen miles above the Ingenica the Findlay is narrowed by Deserter's Canyon. The channel is crooked and is interupted by bad riffles. It can be run at certain stages of water but its navigation is dangerous. Above the canyon the Akie River flows in from the east; it has not been explored. The wash in the bed at the mouth is principally limestone, and does not contain gold. Good prospects were obtained from a couple of streams entering the Findlay between the Akie nnd Paul's Branch, a small stream runnine in on the west. The Quuda- cba or Whitewater flows Into the Findlay on tho east 11 miles above Paul's branch. Three miles further the Tochieca enters the Findlay, which soon after makes a big turn to the west and leaves the great Intermon- tane valley ot British Columbia. Fine gold occurs on the Findlay throughout most of its course, but wilh the exception of one bar, Peter Toy's, no paying placers bare been discovered. Very little prospecting has howover boon doue op , the river, and none of the tributaries have been prospected, with the exception of the Omenica and Ospici. Gold in a fine condition was found at the mouth of the Ingenica. the Qtindachn and some of the smaller western tributaries, bnt with the exception of the Qundacha, nd colors wero found on tbo eastern streams abovo Deserter's canyon. Peter Toy's bar on the Findlay, a few miles below the Omenica, was found in 1862, and for soma time yielded $50 per day to the mau. -Revelstoke Herald. m TWO PICTURES One Rich. Bright and Cheerful! the Other Olooniy, Dark and Muddy. Forty-five samples of colored oloth are shown on the Diamond Dye sample card, from which can be pr- duced over one hundred good, solid colors. Every dyed sample la full, rioh, brilliant and fast, showing just what any woman of ordinary intelligence can do with Diamond Dyes. This ia picture number one. The common imitation dyes, and dyes composed of soap grease as a prineipal ingredient, show but a dozen or fifteen colors, and so imperfect in color tone and power that the smell collection looks gloomy, despondent and sickly to any individual with a taste for the beautiful.

Toronto, Nov. 10. ��� The Globe prints it vsry long interview concerning the Klondike gold brloks with Wm. Ogilvie, the Dominion surveyor in the Yukon oountry, who has oome east altar H years absenoe in that country. Ogilvie says the gold finds justify all that is said ot them; on Bonanza Creek there aro 100 olaims which will yield from 1200,000 to 1600,000 eaoh, and at the Eldorado there are 80 olaims which will yield on an average of (1,000,000 each, and many more will average large sums. Taking the two creeks together we have aay 140 olaims, whioh I believe Will turn out close on 170,000,000 before being exhausted. Other streams, though not quite aorioh, will rate verv high -compared with anything ever found in the country before. Tbe mineral distriot is 400 miles long, and in places upwards of 100 miles wide. Good indications have been found at spots all ovsr this vast area. Itie only a question ot time, Mr. Ogilvie believes, before another lode is discovered, and quartz mining industry established at Dawson, on the basis of tbe present disooverles will thus be assured of an existence, he says, of 10 to ���SO yeara. If the quarts mining industry la established in that period, it may be extended for several generations, No Misleading Statements.

The Publio Demand for tbo Great Medioine Fait InoraatlnR. The proprietors of Paine's Celery Compound have never given to the press of the country any misleading statementa, and have never exaggerated either the virtue of their wonderful remedy or the astonishing charuo. ter of the testimonials it bas received. Paine's Celery Compound, the great est and most marvellous of all blood purifiers and restorers of nerve force and power, and which has a greater publio demand than all other oombined remedies, bas b-en a blessing to thousands ot homes in the Dominion of Canada. This medicine that makes people well receives monthly scores of letters of praise from men and women rescued from disease and death. Every month of the year hundreds are re stored tn new life, but many being diffident in nature, and not wishing to be recognized by the public, refrain from writing for the press. Paine's Celery Compound being a guaranteed medicine, the public have faith in it. Tbe cures effected for those who in the past were burdened with rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney disease, liver trouble, dyspepsia, heart troubles and blood diseases are in many cases truly wonderful. Success after the doctors fall is tbe greatest boast of the world's popular medicine, Paine's Celery Compound, Mrs. A. Perry. Port Maitland, N.8., writes as follows: "For two years my system was all run down, and I suffered more than I oan describe from nervous prostration and insomnia. At times I almost lost my reason from severe pain at base of the braiii. My husband advised me to try Paine's Celery Compound, which I did, and the effects were wonderful, I soon began to sleep well; the pain loft my head; my whole system was strengthened, and I am now enjoying very good health. "I would cheerfully recommend Paine's Ceiery Compound to any one suffering from like troubles. You have my best wishes for tlie future success of your excellent remedy. 221 $500*?? IN GOLD!

This handy publication increases in usefulness from time to time and is a valuable reference for the mining man. J. Stoddart's Windermere Hotel seems to be a favorite place with travellers. Last week, in order to accommodate the callers, tho dining tablo was repeatedly filled, and at night the floors had to be littered with shakedowns, every bed in the house being occupied. Messrs. Blake and Smith got out on Friday night from their trip of deliver ing the balance of the supplies reriuired fer Major Clohecy's wiutor camp in the Bennison Basin. For three nights they were without sleep and tbe snow was five feet deep, so that they had a very bard trip of it. Mr. Goldie, of Windermere, was rather disappointed this season with his experiments of growing tho brome grass as a fodder plant with a view to ascertaining whether it was suited to tho Windermere district. It did not afford as much fodder as expected and was late in heading out, Mr. Small has sold the Canal Flat Hotel to Mr. Bullman, wbo lust week entered into possession. Mr, Small was a great favorite at Canal Flat during his residence there, and the many friends he made will miss him on their future travels through that section of the country. He intends taking up his residence st Steelo. The snowfall of last week appears to havo been very general. It was heavier at the Fort Steele end than the Golden end of the valley, and the fall extended over a week almost without interruption. Owing to the mild weather the snow was very watery and made heavy travelling on the main road. The fall is said to be one of the heaviest that has been experienced so early in the season. For some time attempts have been been made without success to work a steamer on the Okanagan River, south ot Okanagan Lake. The attempts to navigate her tailed and Capt. Armstrong was sent for.

The Case of a Yonng Luiljr In Smith's Falls Who Buffered Severely-Ol ven up by two Dootors**Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Bave Restored Her Health. From the Smith's Falls News.1 Many cases have been reported of how invalids who had suffered for years and whose case had been given up by the attending physician, have been restored to health and vigor through that now world famed medicine, Dr. Williams' Pink Fills, but we doubt if tbere is one more startling or more convincing than that of Miss Elizabeth Minshull, who resides witb her brother, Mr. Thos. Minshull, of this town, an employee in Frost A Wood's Agricultural Works. The News heard of this remarkable oase, and meeting Mr. Minshull asked him it the story was correct. Ho replied: "All I know is that my sister had been given up as incurable by two physicians. She is now well enough to do any kind of housework and can go and come as she pleases, and this change has, It is my honest convicticn, been brought about by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mr. Minshull then related the following story to the News: "My sister is 20 years of age. She came to Canada from England about 10 years ago, and resided with a Baptist minister, Rev. Mr. Cody, at Sorel, Que. In April, of 1896, she took ill nnd gradually grew worse. She was under a local physician's case for over fivo monlhs. The dootor said that she was suffering from a complication of nervous diseases, and tbat he could do little for her. The ministor with whom she lived then wrote me of my sister's state of health, and I had her come to Smith's Fulls in the hope that a change and rest would do her good. When sho arrived here sho was in a vory weak state and a local physician was called in to seo ber. Hc attended her for some time, but with poor results, and finally acknowledged that the case was one which he could do very littlo for. My sister had by thi j time become a pitiable object; the slightest noiso wonld di-turb her, nnd tho slightest oxertion would almost make her insane It required someone to bo with her nt all times, and often after a tit of extreme nervousness she would become unconscious and remain in that state for hours. When I went home I had to tako my boots oil at the doorstep so as not to disturb her. When the doctor told mo be could do nothing tor her, I consulted with my wife, who had great faith in Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, as she knew of several cases where they had worked wonderful cures, and I concluded it would do no harm to try them anyway, and mentioned the fact to the doctor. The doctor did not oppose their use, but said he thought they might do her good, as they were certainly a good medicine. In September of last year she began to nse ths Pills, and before two boxes had beou used she began to show signs of improvement. She has continued their use since and is today a living testimony of the enrative power of Dr. Williams'Pink Pills." Mr. Minshull has no hesitation in sounding the praises of a remedy that has worked such a change in the health ot his sister and cheerfully gave the "News" the above particulars, and when asked to do so most willingly signed the following declaration: Smiih's Fails. Sept. 11,1897. I hereby make declaration that the statements in above as to tue condition of my sister, and tbe benefit she received from the nse of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are absolutely correct.
