L STRANGE GASE,

of Port Hope, ' Tells an Interesting Story.

Mr. Jas. Crosgrey

His Right Leg Swollen to Three Times, Its Natural Size—Ulcers Followed, | and fora Year soda Half Doctors’ | Treatment Failed to Help Him.

From the Port Hope Times.

“Tt wae nearly as large as that telephove | pole.” These words were used by Mr. | Jas, Croagrey, for eight years « resident of | Port Hope, Ont. Mr. Crosgrey 18 Io the employ of Mr. R. K, Scott, who bas @ feed store on Walton #treet, and is well and favorably known in town and vicinity, Less than two years ago Mr. Crosgrey was the recipient of much sympathy on account of a severe affliction wrich befell bim, depriving him of the use of his right leg, and from doing any ‘abor excepta few odd days work. His recovery was wrought so suddenly and comp etely that the Times considered the matter would ve of suffi- cient interest to its readers to obtain an interview with Mr. Crosgrey. In substance | Mr. Crosgrey told the following story of | his illness: “In April, 1895, I was laid up for seven weeks with

typhoid fever, and after I recovered from the fever my right | leg began toswell. J

was very painful | indeed, and ina few weeks it was three times its natural size--nearly a» large as | that telephone pole,” aed he pointed to a | stick of timberten inches in diameter. | “Nothing the doctor did gave meany res | lief, and I consulted another with the same | result. I suffered for nearly five months, when I noticed that the swelling began to decrease and I became hopeful of recovery. Bat the improve ment only contioned for | a short time aod then the swelling bevame greater, and two big ulcers formed on tbe inside of the leg above the ankle. These ulcers were right through to the bone and you coald put that mach into them,” and Mr. Crosgrey indicated on his thumb an object an inch in length, “For the nex year and a haif | was treated by four or five doctors, but my lex and the ulcers were as bad asever. The dectors pronounced the disease phlebitis, or inflammation of the veins. They didn’t

getting well.” In @ strange manner, & might say. He tells of it this way‘ had a relative livicg near Teeswater, named William Baptir. condition and sent word to me to try Dr. Wiliiams’ Pink Pills. His

recommending them, he stated, was

most by chance ove

cause they had cured him of serious tronble in both legs, when all else had failed. I decided to try them, and in less |

than five weeks the ulcers were completely healed and the swelliog in my legs disap-

peared. The uicers vever returned, and my leg is just about a» sound as the other ove. Iknow that)r. Williams’ Pink

when doctors and failed, and Iam

Pills alone cured me all others medicines willing that the detai!s of wy illness and cure be made known.” Mr. Crosgrey, who is 41 years of age, is vow at work every day. The nature of bis work, that of lifting heavy bags of flour and feed, is proofof his complete recovery. He isa lifelong friend of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and never Jets an opportunity pass of speaking a good word for them.

The above statement was sworn to before the undersigned at Port Hope on the 17th day of February, 1898

A. MBMORABLE NIGHT.

(Continued. )

Riis spirits had recervea & aampener, put in a few minutes he seized upon 4 cigar and began smoking; as the wreaths curled over his head he began to talk and this time it was on a subject totally foreign to myself and even to himself. It was good talk; that I recognized, though I hardly listened to what he said. I was asking myself what time it had now got to be and what was the meaning of my incarceration, till my brain became weary and I could scarcely distin- guish the topic he discussed. But he kept on for all my seeming and, indeed, real in- difference, kept on hour after hour in 4 monologue he endeavoured to make interest-

ing and which probably would have been 80

if the time and occasion had been fit for my enjoying it. As it was I had no ear for his choicest phrases, his subtlest criticisms, or his most a disquisitions. I was wrapped up in self and my cruel disappoint- ment, and when in a certain access of frenzy I leaped to my feet and took a look at the watch still lying on the table, and saw it was four o’clock in the morning, I gave a bound of final despair, and throwing myself on the floor, gave myself up to the heavy sleep that mercifully came to relieve me.

1 was roused by feeling a touch on my breast. Clapping my hand to the spot where I had felt the intruding hand, I iis. covered that my watch had been returned to its pocket. Drawing it out I first looked at it and then cast my eyes quickly about the room, There was no one with me and the doors stood open between me and the hall. It was eight o’clock as my watch had just told me.

That I rushed from the house and took the shorvest road to the steamer, goes with- out saying. I could not cross the ocean with Dora, but I might yet see her and tell her how near I came of giving her my com- pany on that long voyage which now would only serve to further the end of my rival. But when, after torturing

| delays on cars and ferry boats, and incre-

dible efforts to pierce a throng that was equally determined not to be pierced, I at last reached the wharf, it Was to behold her, just as I had fancied in my wildest moments, leaning on a rail of the ship and listening, while she abstractedly waved her hand to some friends below, to the words of

At last he spied me, struggling | aboard and immediately his face lighted up | in @ way which made me wish he had not thought it necessary to wait for my antici-

*‘Ah, Dick, you are late,” he began effusively as I put foot on deck.

But I waved him back and went at once to Dora.

Dr. A. W. CHASE IN CONSULTATION,

TEST THE KIDNEYS

They Are the Great Feeders of Our Rodies—the Purity of the Blood is Dependent on Their Cleans- ing Powers.

Dr Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills are the Only Combined Kidney and Liver Pill—What They Have Ac- complished is But a Guarantee of

What They Wii Do.

There's a time to all, old and young, man or woman, when poor health brings trouble, anxiety, and burdens hard to stand up under, and one’s ef- fcrts to rid himself or herself seem cnly te be baffled at every turn, and we are prone to grow discouraged.

That is not the time to give up— but the time for action, the time to geck out the seat of the trouble, and ect as your best judgment and the experience of others will help you, guarding against mistakes in the treat- ment adopted for your particular ail- ment.

READ WHAT AMOS CARTER,

MELBOURNE, ONT., SAYS:

Spasms Lasted for Hours at a Time —Left Great Aching and Soreness— Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills Preved His Deliverer.

I was for over six months troubled with very sharp pains in the region of my kidneys, the spasms lasted for half an hour at a time, and left me with great aching, soreness and pain. I tried many remedies, but they did me no good. I commenced taking Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills accord- ing to directions. I had not much faith that they would cure me, but after taking one box I noticed @& change for the better. It may seem incredible, but after taking the second box the pains aW left me entirely, and |}I have not had them = since.—Am%s ' Carter, Melbourne.

Price 25 cents per box, ali dealers.

The look of amazement ana chagrin witn | which her father met my reappearance on the dock, can easilw be imagined.

‘Why, Dick,” he exclaimed, ‘‘aren’t you going afterall? I thought I could rely on you. Where's ro pluck, lad? Scared oft by a frown ? wouldn’t have believed it, Dick. What if she does frown to-day ; she will smile to-morrow.” :

I shook my head; I could not tell him just then that it was not through any lack of pluck on my part that I had failed him.

When I left the dock I went straight to a restaurant, for I was faint as well as miserable, not having had any supper the night before or any breakfast this morning. But my cup of coffee choked me and the rolls and eggs were more than I could face. Rising impatiently, I went out. Was any one more wretched than I was that morn- ing and could any one nourish a more bitter grievance? As | strode towards my lodg-

ings I chewed the cud of my disappoint- ment till my wrongs loomed up like moun- tains and I was seized by a spirit of re- venge. Should I let such an interference as 1 had received go unpunished? No, if the wretch who had detained me was not used to oe he should receive a spe- cimen of it now and from a man who was no longer a prisoner, and who once aroused did not easily forego his purposes. Turning aside from my former destination, I went immediately to a police station and when I had entered my complaint was astonished to see that all the officials had grouped about me and were listening to my words with the most startled interest.

‘**Was the man who came for you a Ger- man *” one asked.

I said, “Yes.”

‘‘And the man who stood guardian over you and entertained you with wine and cigars, was not he a German too ?”’

I nodded acquiescence and they at once began to whisper together; then one of them advanced to me and said :

*“You have not been home, I understand; you had better come.”

Astonished by his manner I endeavored to inquire what he meant, but he drew me away, and not till we were in a stone’s throw of my office did he say: ‘*You must prepare yourself for a shock. The imper- tinences you suffered from last night were unpleasant no doubt, but if you had been allowed to return home, you might not now be deploring them in comparative peace and safety.”

“What do you mean ?”

‘That your partner was net as fortunate as yourself. Look up at the house; what do you see there ?”

A crowd, that is what I saw first, but he made me look higher, and then I perceived that the windows of my room, of our room, were shattered and blackened and that part of the casement of one had been blown out.

“*A fire !’ I shrieked, ‘‘Poor Richter was smoking E

*“‘No, he was not smoking. He had no time for a smoke. An internal machine burst in that room last night and your friend was its wretched victim.”

I never knew why my friend’s life was made a sacrifice to the revenge of his fellow countrymen. Though we had been intimate in the year we had been together he had never talked to me of his country and I had never seen him inacompany with one of his own nation. But that he was the vic- tim of some political revenge was apparent, for though it proved impossible to find the man whohad detained me, the house was found and ransacked, and amongst other secret things was discovered the model of the machine which had been intro- duced into our room and which had proved so fatal to the man it was addressed to, Why men who were relentless in their pur- poses towards him should have taken such pains to keep me from sharing his fate, is one of those anomalies in human nature which now and then awake our astonishment. If I had not lost Dora through my detention at their hands I should look back upon that evening with sensations of thankfulness. As it is, I sometimes question if it would not have been better if they had let me take my chances.

Have I lost Dora? From a letter I re- ceived to-day, I begin to think not.

SLICK PETE’S WATCH DEAL

An old time detective the other day was discussing with some sleuths new in the profession the methods of up to date swindlers. After deprecating the originality of the modern crook he told of what he considered the sharpest game he ever saw worked.

‘‘I suppose you fellows know,”’ he said, ‘‘that during Centennial year Phil- adelphia was a hotbed of bunko steerers and sharpers of every description. Well, I was detailed to keep an eye on these gentry, and in time I became acquainted with most of the ‘big ones,’ who were generally exceedingly brightmen. One in particular, who was known as ‘Slick Pete,’ I took a great liking to, for he had an inexhaustible fund of humorand was a good hearted chap. Toward the end sf the Centennial exhibition one day I dropped into a down town auction room where some fake jewelry was be- ing sold. A lot of watches were offered, and I saw that they had been made evi- dently for bunko steering purposes, for the works were good, and the cases were made to lvok likesolid gold. They were finally knocked down for $2.15 apiece, and I saw that the buyer was ‘Slick Pete.’ Jewelry was out of his line, but I knew he had some scheme in view. Two months passed before I again saw Pete, and then I asked him what he had done with the watches. He began to laugh and said, ‘Oh, skinned some swindler with them!’ Then followed the explanation. He had hired a room and inserted an advertisement in vari- ous papers something like this: ‘Found —A solid gold watch; Elgin works; loser pay costs. Apply, etc.’ N early every crook in town answered the ad. and claimed the watch. Pete, who made up asan old man, seemed a mark, and the ‘fly’ crook, in the hurry to de- part, made but a cursory examination. ‘The costs,’ $10, were invariably handed over, and in two days Pete had disposed of his stock.’’—Philadelphia Record.

A Japanese Dinner,

He found the great room up stairs half full of people, who were seated in a semi- circle at one end, writes Mrs. Mimoli C. Fraser in The Pall Mall Magazine. Char- teris was a little late, and the rest had be- gun the indescribable meal which is called Japanese dinner. All the strangest prod- ucts of earth, regardless of precedence, hustle each other on the small square ta- ble before the guest and little by little overflow its bounds and are placed on the floor around him—a growing nebula of tiny plates, many of which he will not touch if he be wise.

What strikes him first perhaps is the uncanny familiarity of some of them. If this is really his first visit to little Japan, where could he possibly haye seen three pink shells lying on golden strawin a scarlct plate or a large white fish, with be- seeching countenance, comfortably put to bed among sprouting rushes, all apparent- ly growing out of the meshes of that fairy basket work? Where, in the name of san- ity, has he had sugar peonies and chrysan- themums done to the life double their nat- ural size or octopi and red crabs artistical- ly chasing each other on plates of corru- gated glass? Is this the stuff that dreams are made of?

Then he remembers. Of course they have all come out of the embroideries and off the lacquered tables of his childhood. The dinner is an object lesson in exquisite arrangements of form and color and should be regarded as such. Viewed as food it is distinctly unsatisfactory and far, far too satisfying. The impression on rising stiff and dizzy from the floor is that of having watched a kaleidoscope and swallowed Mont Blanc.

There is no more in- spiring sight in the mM world than the picture

Aof the stalwart young farmer and his rosy- cheeked wife start- ing out to fight the battle of life. There is no reason

les should not live long, happy, healthy lives. Much depends upon the wife herself. To some extent, she must

A) be a jack of all trades. Pea al Her husband must be a little of a blacksmith and

a little of a harness mak- er and a little of a veterinary surgeon as well as a farmer. It is the same with the wife. It is a long ways to town, and she mst have a handy hand at many things. It is possibly many miles to the first physi- cian, and the farmer’s wife should be able to see that every member of the family is kept in good health.

If the young farmer’s wife is wise, when her husband shows that he is out of sorts, when he is suffering from biliousness or torpidity of the liver or indigestion, she will not permit him to neglect these disor- ders. but will have at hand Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This wonder- ful medicine is not a cure-all, but as most diseases have their inception in a torpid liver or a disordered digestion, it is a cure for a great many of them. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion and assimila- tion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves steady. It cures all malar- ial troubles and rheumatism. Medicine dealers sell it, and keep nothing else “just as good.’’

The farmer’s wife may frequently save the life of her husband or that of one of her children by owning a copy of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. It tells how to treat all the ordinary ills of life and how to care for serious accident cases while awaiting the arrival of a physician. It con- tains 1008 pages. It used to cost $1.50 a copy; now it is free. For a paper-covered copy send 31 one-cent stamps /o cover customs and mailing only, to the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. Cloth binding, 50 stamps. :

Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure consti- pation and biliousness. They regulate and invigorate, stomach, liver and bowels. Honest druggists do not recommend some- thing else as ‘‘ijust as zood.”’

Another lot of those cheap dinner sets that sold se well thie summer.—W. P.
