NEW ROUTE TO EUROPE.
Going by Way of Hudson Bay Will
Bring Canada 1000 Miles Nearer
Eastern Continent.
Special to The Light.
Quebec. Nov 30 —The proposed new
route to Europe via Hudson bay is at-
tracting considerable attention in the
Canadian northwest. Should the pro-
posed route be worked it will be the
means of bringing Canada 1000 miles
nearer to Europe and by the saving
of price will give the farmers of west-
ern Canada practical control of the
grain markets of the world.
Up to the present eight railroads
have applied to the Dominion govern-
ment for charters for lines to Hudson
bay from various points In the interior
of Canada and some of them are now
being built from the south and west.
An enormous tract of country will be
tapped by these lines and notwith-
standing the fact that the season in
the bay only lasts fiom July 1 to Octo-
ber 1 the shorter railroad haul will
give such inducemiuts that a heavy
tiaffic can easily be developed. Huge
storage elevators will have to be erect-
ed at the end of the railroad lines but

SUFFERED
FROM ATAXIA
Was Treated for Sciatic
Rheumatism
Finally Cured by Dr. Wil-
liams* PinK Pills.
Wife of a Government Em-
ployee Makes a Statement
of Interest to Every
Nervous Sufferer.
Mrs. 8. C. Wellpck of 114 Cleveland
avenue Everett Masa. Is the wife of
an employe in the government works
at Chelsea. Mr. Welllck Is a veteran
of the civl war having served In Com-
pany C First Masachusetts Infantry
and both are weH known in their home
town. This Is important because Mrs.
Wellock has been cured by a popular
remedy of a disease until recently re-
garded as incurable and her statement
will bear the most searching investi-
gation. The permanency of her cure
la best attested by the fart that she
has felt no return of the symptoms for
a year. She says:
"I had been troubled with nervous-
ness for the last ten years and about
two years ago had an attack of what
was pronounced sciatic rheumatism. I
noticed that the trouble kept growing
on me and I began to take medicine
for It. It was then I leaned that I
was suffering from locomotor ataxia.
I had terrible tremblings in my light
leg which would get rigid and when
this happened in the street I hail to
stand still until it passed away to keep
from falling. My right arm felt as if
a thousand needles were pricking it
The sheet touching my knee In bed
would nearly cause me to scream out
with pain and both knees were so
weak I could hardly stand.
"I had to use a cane and be helped
about by my son. Then the pain be-
gan to settle Irf the calves of my legs
anti the muscles became numb and
quivered constantly. The cords under
my knees seemd to be drawn up tight
and the terrible shooting pains In my
legs would nearly drive me insane.
My toes became numb and at times
would prickle as if needles were being
thrust into them. My eyes became
dull and black spots floated before
them My heart was very weak. The
doctor told me I had to be very care-
ful or 1 would bring on a stroke and
it might cause death. Besides the
nervous trouble I suffered from acute
indigestion and inflammation of the
stomach.
"My attention was called to Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills by a pamphlet
which was left at my house in which
were given a number of cases of nerv-
ous diseases including locomotor at-
axia cured by these pills. I bought
several boxes right away and very
soon felt relief. I was so pleased that
I kept on taking them until they cured
me entirely and I have had no symp-
toms of the trouble for over a year.”
Nervous diseases may be trace.l di-
rectly 'to the blooJ for their cause.
This is why Dr. Williams' Pink rills
have been so successful In nervous
disorders such as dizziness sick head-
ache nerveusnes paralysis and loco-
motor ataxia. These diseases have
been permanently cured by treatment
through the blood when ordinary rem-
edies had failed. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills build up the nervous system by
making new blood and also cure ef-
fectively such blood diseases as rheu-
matism after-effects of the grip and
fevers end anaemia.
A booklet entitled "Nervous Dis-
orders" will be sent free to any one
interested upon request.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are for sale
by all druggists or will be sent post-
paid on receipt of price 50 cents per
box six boxes for $2.50 by the Dr.

HIS ONLY HOPE
After a siege of seven years' lllneaa
most ot which time life seemed in
the balance. Mr. A. Thompson a weD
known buslneas man of Milwaukee
living at 427 Chestnut street who wag
suffering from an affection of the
stomach and liver was finally told by
his physicians that an ojieratlon would
be necessary to save his life. With
the same determination and Iron will
that had carried him safely th/ougb
his long illness Mr. Thompson flatly
refused his consent. That was some
weeks ago. When seen recenUy he
was much better and gave tills stat»
ment for publication. "I did not be-
lieve an operation was necssary. so I
dismlssd my physicians and began a
treatment of Cooper’s New Discovery
and Quick Relief as I had heard 02
many cases slmiliar to mine that they
had cured. Afterusing these wonder-
ful medicines for about two weeks I
am improved to a remarkable extent.
I have tried everything and would ad-
vise any sufferer from stomach or liv-
er trouble to stop experimenting and
use these remedies in the first place
for they are the only sure cure.”
Cooper’s New Discovery is the groat
tonic for stomach trouble and general
run down condl'ion of th? system It
sells tor one dollar per bottle. Coop-
er's Quick Relief the assistant remedy
which Is used in connection with the
New Discovery costs fifty cents. The
