PAHALYSIS YIELDS T0 MANY FORMS OF THIS BREAD BISEASE ABE GUBED BY THIS REMEDY. Scarcely a day passes but fresh proof is offered of the wonderful power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills over disease. In many of these cases relief and new health comes to the sufferer after the best efforts of medical men had been in vain. One such case is that of Mrs. D. M. Ritchie, of Galt, Ont., who writeszâ€"“I feel it my duty to let other people know what Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills have done for me. I was taken sick first in May, 1910, with rheumatism. Treatment at home having failed me I went to Grace Hospital, Detroit, where I remained for some weeks, but inâ€" stead of improving I became absoâ€" lutely helpless, as if from paralysis, ' and could not move hand or foot. I was under the heavy expense of a trained nurse, and the best of medical treatment, but seemed to be growing worse. Finally, about the middle of July my husband deâ€"l aided to bring me home to Galt, where I remained under medical treatment, and with a nurse eon- stantly attending me until October, when I took a further turn for the worse. Then the doctor told my husband that it was only the matâ€" ter of a few weeks, as I could not‘ possibly get better. Up to this time‘ over six hundred dollars had been spent for medical and hospital treatment. In this eondition, with hope abandoned, my husband saw a testimonial in a local paper of a cure of paralysis through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I decided at once to try them. In a few weeks there was a little im- provement, and from that time on each day showed some change for the better. I can now (March~ 1911) walk all about the house, do up my room, wash the dishes and sew and mend, but am still a little shakey, but am looking for the fullest cure, as I feel myself growing stronger daily. I give the full credit to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, for I feel they are an instrument under Provi- The articles contributed by “Investor” are for the sole purpose of guiding pros- pective investors, and, if possible, of sav- ing them from losing money through placing it in “wildmat” enterprises.

WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS deuce given for the benefit of suf- fering humanity.” Writing again under the date cf August 16th, 1911, Mrs. Ritchie says: “As to my general health I can say that I have not felt so well in years. My stomach is in the best of condition and I can eat things I have not eaten for yclrs. I can walk quite well, but me my came when I go out, as I have not quite confidence in myself yet. But if you had seen me when I started to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, you would realize what a miracle they have worked in my case. All that I have stated is absolutely true‘ and I may add that the pills have cured my husband of kidney trouble that other medicine seemed to have no effect upon, for which we are both thankful.” Again under the date of Jan. 16, 1912, Mrs. Ritchie says: “I am fully recoveer and able to do all my housework. I shall always recomâ€" mcnt Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and trust some sufferer will receive as much benefit by reading this as I did through a faithful use of the pills.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure such apparently hopeless cases as Mrs. Ritchie’s-because they make new, rich, red blood, which feeds the starved. overworked nerves, and gives tone and strength to every or- gan in the body. No sufferer from paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus dance, or any nervous disâ€" order can afford to neglect Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the great blood builder and nerve tonic, which have more remarkable cures to their credit than any other me- dicine in the world.

Shares of stock and bonds are essenti- ally different. As» was pointed out some time since, a bond is a. promise to pay, a share is an equity only: if the com- pany is liquidated the bonds are paid in full and if there is anything left the stockholders divide it‘that is. in the case of a company being wound up. In the case of an actively operating company. the bondholders receive their regular in- terest. 4. 5, 6, or 7 per cent., whatever it may be. The shareholders may receive nothing, or, as in the case of Winnipeg Electric, they may receive 12 per cent. per annum or even more. A farmer working his land is, in a. small way, similar to the shareholders of a. large company considered collec- tively. He may owe John Smith money secured by a mortgage. John Smith gets his interest every year and his principal when it is due, or he forecloses the moth- gage. sells the farm. pays himself and gives the farmer the residue. If the far- mer can pay his interest he has to de- duct his Operating expenses from what is left over, and the balance he uses to supply the necessaries of life, or. if for- tune has smiled, luxuries for his wife and family. His profit. after paying in- terest and operating costs~~wages, feed for his stock. etc.~represen-ts the divi- dends, sometimes large, often small and perhaps nothing. in which event he may have to look to his small savings, or the bank, to tide him over. And so, it is with the shareholders of a. company. In lean years they may get no dividends, in fat years they may get large ones, But it is the bondholder who doesn't have to worry. He has to have his interest or the shareholder stands to lose his property. In other words. shares (speaking generally. of course, for many shares are far safer investments than some bonds, and some shares are as safe as most bonds) shares are in nature speculative, while bonds are‘not. The purchase of a share of stock in a company involves no reason to expect a return of the money so invested. If the dompany prospers your dividends are huge and if you want to “get your money out" ybu can sell to some one who wants to buy, even the holders of C. P. 1%.. or even Bank of England shares. have no other method of ever getting their money back. In 1670 the Hudsons Bay Company (its real name is the Governor and Company of Adventurers of England Trading into the Hudsons Bay) was form- ed and its shares issued. These shares are actively traded in on the London market. In the 240 years since they were put out. there has been no time at which the shareholders could get their money back except by selling their shares to others. Ofihand. I can think of no bond which would not have been redeemed at least four times (and a fifth time in 1920) during that period. These are the chief points of differ- ence between bonds and stocks. Stocks. however. have many good points, which will be taken up subsequexfily. Thirty-six years ago last; Wedâ€" nesdayâ€"on February 14th, 1876â€" Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, for- merly of Brantford, Ont., invented the telephone. Like other scientific discoverers, he had a hard time at first to get people to understand and believe in his invention. Dr. Bell says that it was his work among the deaf and dumb which led to the tele- phone idea, and he tells a deaf man’s story to illustrate public -‘isâ€" trust of anything new. One Sunday a man a country church with petâ€"something unfamiliar to the congregation. Just before the ser- vice began an official approached the stranger. “Say,”â€"he said, excitedly, “ybu can’t play that horn in here. If you try it, I’ll put you right away}: Dr. Bell is a Scotchman by birth. His residence in Canada was brief. After going to the United States he became professor of vocal phy- siology at Boston University, and founded the American Association to Promote Teaching of bpecch to the Déaf, to which organization he donated $250,000. Dr. Bell is sixty- five years of age, and now lives in Washington. A patient whom the famous Dr. Abernethy had advised to take a walk on an empty stomach calmly replied, “Whose “The memory Lingers” Dr. Alexa'nd'er Graham Bell.
