PROVES GRHT POWER When Regular Medical Treatment Failed Dr Williams Pink Pills Cured Her Rheumatism Hundreda of people afflicted with rlieu aiatism have spout years under the caro of excellent physicians in vain Then they have settled down to tho conviction that it is fastened on them for life Mrs Dinsniore was not willing to join the ranks of tho hopeless merely because her doctor did nob know how to help her Here is her story Four years ago I suffered greatly with rheumatism in my hauds and knees After I hnd been sitting a whilo uiy limbs seemed so heavy I could hardly wHk on tho flrsk attempt So long as I kept moviug I was all right but just as oou as I stopped something seemed to settle in my knees and make them ache My hands were so bad I couldnt touch the palms of them on a flat surface they were swollen and pained so Did you call in n physician I doctored steadily for over rv year then one doctor said Yon have taken medicine strong enough to kill almost uy thing Still it did not kill me nor the rheumatism How then did yon get rid of it At different times I had read in vari ous publications about Dr Williams wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People nd I finally decided to try them I took them steadily for four months in ac cordance with tho directions By that time I was completely cured Have you been free from it ever since Since then I havo had but one slight return of my trouble and a box or two of the same pills made mo all right again Mrs F A Dinsniore lives in hearty enjoyment of her recovered health nfc Woburn Mnss entirely freed from tho grave anxieties that rheumatism always brings When it appears in but a single joint it shows t hat the blood is in a faulty sitato in the whole body It may at any moment break out elsewhere and one of t ue dangers is that it may break out in the heart and then the result must be fatal The only security is to keep tho blood all tho timo in a perfectly sound joudition Dr Williams Piuk Pills make healthy blood All other relief is superficial This is thorough These pills are sold by all druggists A hotel is to be built at Cannes France for the use of motorists At tached to the hotel there will be gar ages and repair shops and M Char ley who is one of the promoters says that no one will be accepted at the hotel who cannot give evidence of being a bona fide motorist ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA Potatoes the Finest I Ever Saw Owing to the great amount of in terest that is being taken in Western Canada it is well to be informed of some of the facts that are bringing about the great emigration from por tions of the United States The Canadian government has au thorized agents at different points and tho facts related in the following may Tie corroborated on application At the same time they will be able to quote you rates and give you certificates en titling you to low rates on the differ ent lines of railway The following letier copied from the North Bend Neb Eagle is an unsolicited testi monial and the experience of Mr Auten Is that of hundreds of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years I presume some may be interested ta know how we have progressed this year In the Canadian Northwest We have no complaint to offer We have had a good year crop3 were good and we have had a delightful season I threshed from my place 8650 bushels ot grain My oats made 65 bushels per acre and weighed 42 pounds per bushel My wheat made 31 bushels per acre and is No 1 quality My barley made about 30 bushels of good quality My crop is a fair average of the qrops in the Edmonton district All crops were good here this sea son Potatoes the finest I ever saw and all vegetables adapted to the cli mate We have had a very fine fall but no exception to the rule as the fall season is I think the most pleas ant of the year We have had no snow yet Nov 9 and have been plowing and working the land prepar fng for an early seeding next spring Iast night the mercury dropped lower than any previous night this fall and tbjs morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work No doubt many would Imagine that Alberta had put on her winter ovjercoat before this and that the peo ple were wrapped in furs but it is duly a question of time when this country will not be looked upon as an Iceberg but a country fit for tho best of mankind to live in We are now assured of a trans continental railway which is to be Huilt to tho Pacific during the next five years The Canadian Northern road is graded to within seventy five miles of Edmonton It comes from Winnipeg and will reach us next sum mer so with one railroad already at hand the second to reach us in less than a year and the third to penetrate our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years we surely have reason to believe that the country Is progressing Very respectfully L J AUTEN Bare Feet for Health People who go
