At the present time Mr. McDonelt in in the enjoy- ment of perfect health, aud a stranger meeting him for tho first time conld not imagine that a man with the healthy glow aud energetic manner of Mr. McDouell could ever have felt a symptom of disease. There is a story, however, in connection with the splendid degre of health attained by him that IH worth telling. It is a well known fact that a few years ago he was the victim of the most excru- ciating pains of rln-ti unit ism. Know- Ing these filets a News n-|>rter called on Mr. McDonell for the purpose of eliciting further particulars. Without hesitation he attributed his present sound state of health to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Along in the early spring I was sud- denly attacked with the most terrible pains in my limbs and body. I sought relief in doctorn ami then in patent medicineH, but nil to no purpose; nothing Koemed to afford relief. For two mouths I wax a helpless invalid, suffering constantly the most excruci- ating pains. My hands and feet swelled and I was positive the end was approaching. My heart was affected and indeed I was almost in despair, when fortunately a friend of our family recommended the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began using them in May. ts'.Mi, and had taken three boxes before I had noticed any change, but from that time every dose counted. The blood seemed to thrill through my veins and by the time I luul finished the fifth box every trace of the ditwaMi had vanished. Ever since then I hnve been working hard and frequently lonir overtime, but have continued in excellent health. Whenever I fel tho slightest symptom of the trouble I use the pills for a day or so and soon feel as well as ever. I feel that I owe my health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and never IOM an opportunity of recommending them to others (raftering M- well.

A few weeks ago, when at Sandrinf- ham, an old lady-in-waiting of the late Queen of Denmark lay dying in, the reyal palace at Copenhagen. She- had known the Princess of Wale* since the latter's infancy, and wa deeply attached to her. King Chris- tian writes every week to his dangh- f'-r in England, and in one of hit let- ters mentioning the illness of the old Countess, declared that her one dying? wish was to speak with the Prince** before she expired. The Princes* wa* quite unable to leave England at the time. But she spoke a tender and sympathetic message into a phono- graph and despatched it to Copen- hagen by special messenger. The Ut- ter arrived only just in time. Al- ready the dimness of death had relied the old lady's eyes, when the phone- graph gave out its message of lore and hope, and as the last word* died away, and only the vibratiunM of the phonograph lin^f-red on the air, she sighed happily, aud with "(iod blea* yon, dear, ' ' on her lips, passed away t* another world.
