The Particulars of a Remarkable Cure Told by a Presbyterian Clergyman--â€"llre Sulferer Brought Back from Death‘s Door. “Why I recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” St. Andrew’s Manse. Cardigan, P.E.I., Jan. 1908. Though I have never been sick myself, and have not had occasion to use Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, I thought you ought to know of the remarkable cure they have wrought in_Mr: Olding’ppase. - During a visit to my home in Merigomish, N. 5., some years ago, I was grieved to find our next door neighbor and friend, Michael Old- ing, very low. “He is not expected to live," my mother informed me, “And You must go over and see him as he is liable to pass away at any moment.” “Not expected to live," that was the opinion not only of the doctor who attended him, but of his wife and family as well. Upon visitng him myself 1 found abund- gnt evidence to confirm their opin- ion. Mr. Olding had for years been afllicted with asthma. and bronchitis. but now a complication of diseases was ravishing his system. He had been confined to his bed for months and was reduced to a skeleton. Though evidently glad to see me. he conversed with the greatest diffi- culty, and seemed to realize that it was the beginning of the end. He was daily growing weaker: his feet was upon his brow. “It’s no use." he said feebly, “the doctors mediA cine is not helping me and I am go- ing down rapidly." I prayed with him as for a man soon to pass into eternity. and when I took his hand in parting it; was the last time I ex- pented to see. him in the flesh. 7 Three years later while on ahother visit to my mother’s Mir‘mel Old- ing was seemingly in better health were swblfen to tvwice theii‘ fiatural size, and fihepold hand of death “ Why I Recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills” Prof. Wm. Thomson's Assistant] Followed Instructions. When Prof. William Thomson,‘ afterward Lord Kelvin, was at, Glasgow, his absorption in his work; was very great, especially his class‘ work, and he much disliked to be‘ brought down to earth by anyi slight chance or inconvenience. Examples will occur to every old pupil, writes Andrew Gray, of the great emphasis with which he com‘ mended that precautions should be taken to prevent the like from hap» pening again. The class the next morning was delighted, and very appreciative of McFarlane's diligence. Thomson came in, put. up his eye-glass, lookâ€" ed at the display, smiled sweetly, and turning to the applauding stu- dents, began his lecture. None was there, and he had to walk a. step or two to obtain one. So he enjoined McFarlane, his as- sistant, who was always in attend- ance. to have a sufficient number of pieces on the ledge in future to enable him to find one handy wherâ€" ever he might need it. McFai'la-ne forgot the injunction, or could not obtain more chalk at the time, and the same thing hapâ€" pened the next day. So the comâ€" mand was issued, “McFarlane, I told you to get plenty of chalk, and you haven't done it. Now have a hundred pieces of chalk on this ledge to-inorow; remember, a hunâ€" dred pieces; I will count them.” McFarlane, afraid to be caught napping again‘ sent that afternoon for several boxes of chalk. and care- fully laid the new, shining white sticks on the shelf, and neatly par- allel, at an angle to the edge. The coresspondence v cently appeared in En on the. subject of the bruught to light a. nun] estiug facts.

None was there, and he had to The shelf was about sixteen feet long, so that there was one piece of chalf for every two inches, and the effect was very fine. “a Many Towns Where 01d Customs Yet Prevail.

His appetite and strength he- gan to improve, and to the astonish- ment of his family and friends he rapidly regained his health. NOW, though ‘the burden of well nigh four score years is upon him, he is able to do a fair day’s work. and is in the enjoyment of good health. even the asthma has ceased to trouble him as in tormer years. Mr. Olding himself, as well as his neighbors and the writer of this letter, confidently believe that his rescue from the very jaws of death ~seemingly so miraculousâ€"45 due under the blessing of God to the timely and continuous use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I confidently believe that if it had not been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I would have been dead long ago. It would be impossible to ex- aggerate the desperate condition I‘ was in when I began to use the Pills. No one thought I could get better. I scarcely dared hope my- self that Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills would bring me through, but they did and I have ever since enjoyed good health. Though I am seventy- nine years old people are always remarking on how young I lookâ€" and I feel young. I can do a fair day’s work, and I am better in every way than I had been for years.

As the Empire is vaster than England, we do not seek merely to P'help our new population to become loyal to England. We vorymuch de« sire their loyalty to the Empire. as we ourselves are loyal. But the first thing, the vital thing, is to secure their loyalty to Canada, and as one of the most important steps in that evolution, I would place the creation of A CANADIAN NAVY. The navy will be a natural con- sequence of placing the Canadian militia on an entirely Canadian lbasis, and controlled altogether to reqqmmend therfi to friends who are alllng.” In a few cases it appears that the old curfew is really the signal to the parishioners for bedtime, at least for the children, and, in addi- tion, there are many traces of the angelus bell, the apprentices’ bell, the pancake bell, and quaint cus- toms connected with market cros- ses, butter crosses (apparently merely a variant of the other farm produce were the great feature of the market), stocks, shambles, bull- rings, and similar relics of other days. The result, of the recent corres- pondence is the following list of places where curfew is rung night- 1y. In some cases the bell is rung for only part of the year, and the hour varies greatly: incidentally other old customs have been mentioned.

He has found it imposswm to take the oath of allegiance to the descendant of George the Third; but in so do- ing he has not troubled himself to think that he has readjusted his re- lation to the peerage.

It might be argued that, for a country which has no foreign min- isters, to have a navy of its own is an impossibility in international politics; and that there is me halfâ€" way between a navy of Canadian origin, subject absolutely to the direction of the British Admiralty, and a navy, the instrument of a totally independent power. If prc- cedents were allowed to govern poli- cies, this augument might have some weight; but, if the ltnzpire had al- ways waited for precedents, it would have ended long ago. This generation is just as capable of creating precedents as its fore- runners were. There is no more reason why a Canadian navy should be wholly responsible to the Ad- miralty in London, than there is rea- son why the Finance Minister of Canada should he a creature of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I do not conceive that Canada would propose td contribute to the cost of the Imperial navy, without direct representation on the Adâ€" miralty Board, and in the Parlia- ment which reviews the cost and conduct of that body. We are quick to admit the force of the argument that inasmuch as the colonies are advantaged by the Imperial navy, they ought not to be entirely free from The fact that our share in the Em- pire _is so essentially constructive, strengthens, if possible, the posi- tion on which great issues have beâ€" fore now been fought, with only one endingâ€"that the people who provide the money shall absolutely control the spending of it. When the House of Lords controls money bills, and the Australian budget is revised in Whitehall, we shall no doubt receive gladly the idea. that the Canadian people be taxed for the Imperial navy. We have read enough of English history, and have had enough experience of our own, to know that the lynchâ€"pin of self government is this absolute control of taxes by the taxed.

It is unwise to be. contemptuous of small beginnings; and much may be said for the scheme of obtaining a few sea policemen that are too small or too slow for active service with. my, the Channel Squadron. But, if we are to deal with the question at all, we had better begin as though we mean business. To make a. debut in secondâ€"hand clothes is to be too economical of dignity. We must assist our new citizens to understand that we are partners in the Km- pire, and not merely one of its peer relations. W here would a. couple of poacher-emtehers belong? Would poacher-cutclmrs belong?

In starting a naval policy of our own there is no risk of establishing the idea that we have notions of a. naval independence that will approximate to Holland or Greece. Our neigh- bors are rapidly emerging from the supposition that we are in a. state of vassalage to England.
