Jorx L. WiDEMAX, #"About the most thorough ud‘ popular teacher we have ever had here," is the opinion expressed by the people of Canaan, N.8., of their present young lady achoot teacher, Miss Nellie Cutten. Miss Cutten is possessed of keen intelligence and engaging manpers and has been "f‘::unlluly succesiful in her chosen pi At pxmu she looks the picture of health, one observing her good color and buoyant spirits, would never think of associating her with sickness. It was, however, only last autumn that she was almost hopeless of continuing in her work on account of her illâ€"health, and her conâ€" dition was a source of alarm to ber friends. "Yes," she said to an Acadian reporter who called upon her recently to learn the particulars of her case, "I suppose it is a duty I owe to Dr. ‘Vilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills, that I should make public the wonders they worked for me, but perhaps I would not have thought of it if you had not called." ©You see,ia addition to my teaching, Lhad been studying very bard over my ‘B‘ work,and then I was attacked with whooping cough, which did not leave me for a long time, and so I became pretty well ran down. _ 1 was always considered the embodiment of hbealth at home, but last autumn I was really alarmed over my condition. Sometimes in the schoolroom I would be seized with dizziness, and often I would faint away. I would take vomiting turns also, and had a feeling of nausea and langour all the time. _ I lost my color and became thin and pale,and it seemed as if my blood had turned to wator. "This condition of things was so difâ€" ferent from anything which I bad preâ€" viously experienced that 1 sought medical advice at once. I wasinformed that I was suffering from anaemia, and ‘ I at once put myself under medical treatment. _ But although I tried several bottles of prescriptions,my conâ€" dition seemed to be getting worse all the time. _ When I went home for my Christmas vacation, I was almost in despair. It was while I was at home, however,that my friends advised me to use Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. _ Acting upon théir advige, I took up their use. The first box made its effect felt, but 1 used four or five and then the cure was complete. _ Ever since then my hbealth has been exceilent and 1 have felt my ireal old time self, and am able to atâ€" tend to my duties, which are by no meanslight, without the fatigue and langour that made the work irksome. You may depend upon it I will always have a friendly word to say for Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills." ‘The Presbyterian Review, published by The Poole Publishing Company,‘ Toronto,contains a large amount of inâ€". teresting matter in its issue of Nov.29, just to hand. On the front page of the cover is an excellent picture of the Rev. D. C. Hossack, M. &., LL. B., editor. There is also an illustrated article on the work of Rev. Wm.
