Yet when Rusâ€" kin saw it he exclaimed, ‘That‘s the finest picture in Edinburgh.‘ ‘Ruskin,‘ said Professor Blackie, as we crossed to the window and looked ut upon the Corstorphine Hill, with its grand fir trees and strained our eyes to catch a view of the distant hills of Fyfeâ€" ‘Ruskin, who was a man of deep and intense feeling, would lift you up in delightful imagination as easily as be would drop you again to the ordinary level of life. Ruskin was a small ediâ€" tion of Carlyleâ€"but he was a delicate and dainty edition. I will talk of Carlyls byâ€"andâ€"by.

Some years ago he was lecturing in Glasgow on a Sunday. His subject was ‘The Philosophy of Love,‘ and he directed the attention of his hearers to the love songs of Scotland.

As it was Sunday they walked on for some miles without speaking a word to each other, At last the young man had to speak. been for the grace of (Giod you might have been a splendid comic actor.‘ ‘He was an intim«te friend of mine,‘ said the Professor; ‘a splendia humorist and a true Scotchman.

There was one man in the front seat who eyed the Doctor with great gravity, and, as be gave out joke after joke hbis face beâ€" came graver still, When the meeting was over he went up to Guthrie with a fearfully solemn face, and said: _ ‘Ab!

Mr. Faircbild‘s name is too well known to readers of the Tribune to need any farther introâ€" duction. He was also seen and fully confirmed what Mr. Charlesworth said. Some time ago Mr. Fairchild suffered from nervous prostration brought on by overwork, and suffered also from a dull pain in the back of the head. Afâ€" ter spending some time at a famous Chicago sanitarinm he was advised to take something to build up his blood, the doctors mentionicg Pink Pills in their list of things advised.

Recently, however, the Tribune was told that a Winnipeg gentleman had passed through an experience as reâ€" markable as any of those published,and inquiry into the matter revealed the fact that severs! prominent citizens of Winnipeg had been greatly bunefitted by the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, One of these citizens is Mr. W. A. Charlesworth,the well known contractâ€" or, who during his residence in Winniâ€" peg has added to the beauty and wealth of the Prairie Capital by erecting some of its finest and most substantial buildâ€" ings. Naturally what Mr, Charlesâ€" worth would say as to the merits of a medical preparation would be read with interest by the many citizens who have met him in business and socially, aod a Tribune reporter was detailed to get from him some particulars in the matter. Mr. Charlesworth was seen: at his beautiful and cosy home on Wilâ€". liam street, a few days since, and while: unwilling to attract.publicity, yet, for the benefit of those suffering as he once was he consented to give a simple statement of his case. About thirteen years ago, while living in the southern part of Illinois, near Cairo, he had sevâ€" eral attacks of malarial fever and ague, which left bis blood poor and thin, and so deranged his system that for about ten years he was a sufferer from chronic indigestion. He came north after residâ€" ing there for some years in order to try to sheke (ff the effects of the malaria, but without much success. He bas not had, while in the north, another real attack of ague, but every season he has had incipient attacke, which were only warded off by the prompt use of quinine. â€" Bilious fever also threatened in the same way,. (He also suffered severely from indigestion. Determinâ€" ing to make a deciged effort to get rid of his complication of disorders, he beâ€" gan in the fall of 1891 to use Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills, the advertisements of which he had read in the newspapers. Mr. Charlesworth began to use tfie pills in October, and for the first month scarcely felt any improvement. Hoewâ€" ever, from that time on improvement was rapid and the effect marvellous. The cold of the winter of 1891â€"2, as will be remembered was intense, and yet so great was the toning up of the system and the enrichment of the blocd, that he scarcely felt the cold at all that winter. His indigestion was removed, and since thot!time he has not had anâ€" other attack of malaria fever, He conâ€" tinued taking the pills up to about the middle of January. In closing his inâ€" terview Mr.Charlesworth said:â€"‘Howâ€" ever, do not rely upon my authority alone, but see Mr. Fairchild, who has used the pills.‘ One Suffered From the Effects of Maâ€" "laria and Indigestion,the Other from Nervous Prostrationâ€"Their Story as Told a Tribune Reporter.
