o strugile for the necessaries of lifrt. The
ions of rich bankers and merohants genets
ally become bankers and merchants. Thf
most of those who become ministers are the
son of those who had terrific straggle to get
their everydny bread. The collegiate and
theological education of that son took every
luxury from the parental table for eight
years. The other children were more scant
llv annareled. The son at college evarv lit- I
tie while got a bundle from home. In it
were the socks that mother had knit, sitting
9p late at night, her sight not as good as
once it was, an i there also were some de
licacies irom the sisters hand for tho vora
1 cious appetite of a hungry student.
The years go by and the son has been or
' d.-ineii and is preaching the glorious gospel,
anl a great revival cornea, ana souls if
scores and hundreds accept tba gospel from
the lips of that young preacher, and father
I and mother, quite old now, fcn visiting the
son at the village parsonage, and at theclos?
' of a Sabbath of mighty blessing father and
mother retire ro their room, the son lighting
the way and asking them if he can do any
thing to make them more comfortable, say
ing if they want anything In the night jual
: to knotk on the wail.
; An 1 then all alone father and mother talk
j over the gracious Influences of the day and
say : "Well, it was worth all we went through
lo e ln .ate that boy I It was a hard pull, but
, we held on till the work was done. Th
j world may not know it ; but, mother, we held
tho rope, didn't we?" And the voice, trnmu
I Ions with joyful emotion, responds : Yen,
j faiher : we held the rope, I feel my work is
don. xow, Lord, Mtest Thou Thyservant
: depart In pi.-a-w. for mine eyes have seen Thy
j salvation. " "I'shaw !" says the father. !
never felt so much like living in my life as
j now. I want to sec what that fellow is goinf
)n to do, he has begun so well."
i Oi, men and women here aaa'-nbled, you

way in the world, but I thini there have

hills, or ,ro:n western prairies, or from south-

: or Irish homos, a cord of influeree that has

Once for thirty-six hours we expscte
every moment to go to the bottom of the

At the narrowest part of the approach

nn. nnd on th 1st of Juue, H'Ji, my wife and
I I came up to Auburn.
'When the disease first came upon me i in
numbness beiran In my heels, and soon the
whole of both my feet became affected. Then
was a cold fueling across the small of my
downwards, and a sense of sor
ncss and a tiirht pressure on the chet. Tho
numbness gradually extended np both lejrs
nnd into tho lower fart of my bodv. I felt
that death was creeplnor up to my vitals. I
was still takin? the medicine (dt was Iodide
of rotassium,' said bis wife), and was beimr
rubbed and havlntr plasters put all over my
I bodv, but with no benollt.
I sent to the Chas. H. Sasar Company,
. the popular Au'mrn drtnrtrists and chemists,
I at lOi and 111 Onesee street, nn l irot th -eo
' boxes of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pilis and Leau
1 takinir them. In three weeks' time I wa-
j improved that from I einsr hlples, Iwasa lo
to help myself and to irot "!' ,!n l P to work.
and to walk everv day Irom No. 7 Walnut
' street, whore I then lived, to Osborne's N -w
I Twine Factory, Seymour and Coltatre streets
1 xore than a mile where I was then em-
ploved, but all the while I was takins 1'mk
Pills.
Then Dr. r.-it-Iien, of Wisconsin, nncle of
mv wife, and who was here on a visit. bervin
to poo-hoo at me for taking l'mk Pills, so 1
finally persuaded m to stop takinitthem nn l
let hi. n treat me. W hen lie r -lurne 1 to the
West he left a pr 01 n.n lr. Hyi't.,
of Auburn, who uis iieated me. Iiutth--ir
treatment dil me no koo J, and after a while
the old trouble returned an I I was Kttiu
bad airain. Then I beiran to take Pink Tills ;
have taken them ever since, am taking thorn
now ; have taken in all nearly 20 boxes at an
entire cost of less than 410.00 (my other
treatment cost me a pile of money), and again
I am well and able to work.
"It I was able, I would at my own expense,
publish the virtues of Dr. Williams' Fink.
Pills to the whole world and especially in
New York City, where I am much better
known than I am here."
Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for Tale IVop'.e
without dout.t mark the l.e'iniiiiiff of a more
healthful era. They were first compounded
by an eminent practitioner, and used as a
prescription lor many years in frenral prac
tice with almost incredible success. They
are now (riven to the publio as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing ail
forms of weakness arising from a watery con
dition of the blood or shattered nerves, two
fruitful causes of almost every ill that flesh
Is heir to. These pills are also a specific lor
