Ik Christian ScJpiicc Exiwrtfiifiit. ■ ♦ —— (From the Km York World,) Mr Edward A Kimball, a leading Christina Scientist of Chicago, bu shown the true scientific Insdncb for testing theories by experiments. His horse having fallen sick h« deternr hied to care him on strictly C. S* principles. He plausibly argued that what was good for him as s man must be good for his horse. Hie first step, there* fore, w»s to exclude from his stable all V-tQ'loa-y surgeons. He knew that the horse was only sick 'in bis mind/ because do horse ever wa* ot could be sick out of his mind. The only thing needed to make the hone perfectly ' sound in wind and limb 'was to rid him of his hallucination. To that end the hone wad left alone In his stall with a copy of Mrs Eddy's «■ Science and Health' In hia hayrick, and hidden to concentrate hit horse sense on the Idea that sickness la ft myth and death an absolute Impossibility. The horse did fairly well on this course o. t««*ttw>ent _-•»« (.wa monthe, end Mr Kimball was on the point of demonstrat ing the truth of Christian science aa applied to horses, when the animal—no doubt through mere lack of faith—turned over in his stall and died. But at least the veterinary's bills were saved, —_»>—-i— . A Baby's Troubles Mrs M J Jones.of Ed field, near Qcinwu, has given to a reporter particulars ol the extraordinary illness cf her little girl, Ethel. As the case is one interesting alike to parents ard the medical profession we reprint it. • Ethel's age ia now three and a half years,' taid Mrs Jones, ' but when she was sis months old the was taken ill, fir^gjjA perhaps as the Sp&jh result of vacci" ■fs*l*j| nation. The " \i.jr*. doctor who first %V(i attend td her jsk^\ said it wsa mm partly due to ? V#S i.e.hing tioub' ""^^ lcß- LttUr en _^^^~:_^' ct-ngtstJon of Ifef^ • the lungs set ft*?* in, sad then consumption of the bowels. A Little Ethel Jokes, second doctor » (photo by Mahan was called in, but she was then in such a terrible state that he said although she might live a fort* night, ehe could nob last more than four months. He advised an operation, but my husband and I demurred. Ethel was now so ill that she could not move, The stomach pains she suffered must have been excruciating j she could not sleep on account cf them, and we had to sit up night after night with her. We were again told that) she was past medio** treatment and would never recover. She, however, had every attention possible, but without beneficial results. Then we read of some cures effected In children's, cases by Dr Williams' pink pills for pale i people. We were struck by their apparent truthfulness, and thereupon purchased a supply for baby. She was little more than a year old when we began giving them to her.' * How long was it before au Improve ment was noticed!' said the reporter. ' When she had taken two boxes. The pains by that time had lessened greatly, and she was able to sleep soundly. We gave her the contents of several more boxeß, and we are pleased to say she Is now lnperfect health and plays about all day. You can see by her photo how strong and happy she la. We alwaya recommend Dr Williams' pink ptlta for children in return for the great amount ot good they did baby.' The dose for young children ti one third of a pill; children over ten may take half a pill. The pills oan be eat with a pan* knife and may be dissolved in water if necessary. Dr Williams' pink pills are an Ideal medicine for ohilbren, they are perfectly harmless, pretty to look at, and 1 sweet to taste. Medicine-taking becomea a pleasure instead of a pain when they are used. In larger doses they have cured adults of anaemia, debility rheu matism, solatlca, neuralgia, St. Titus' dance, hysteria, skin diseases, bronchitis, consumption, chronic colds, effects of pneumonia and influenza, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings ; six boxes sixteen and six post free. Be sure yon ask for D* Williams'; imitations are often offered to secure greater profit.
