My father, Chas. Wills, was of anadventurousy roam- ing disposition. Induced by the wonderful stories of fortunes easily made in America, he decided to emi- grate with his family to that favored land, with the hope of securing the fortune which he despaired of obtaining in old England. All the family, except the wife, were eager to set sail at once, but she objected, because, in case of sickness, she would be unable to obtain the services of her old family physician, Dr. Wills, who was a relative, and for years had been their medical adviser, and who had a reputation in that part of England for wonderful cures of Neuralgia, Biliousness and diseases of the Liver. She finally consented to consult the Doctor in regard to it, who told her, '* Yes, you can go, for I will give you a recipe that will be worth more to you than all the doctors in America. " 4, In the year 1S47 they decided to go, and when they were ready to leave ^e called upon the Doctor, who gave her a recipe for what he said were " the l>est pills in the world. " He had received the recipe from a celebrated doctor attached to the English army in India, where diseases of the liver are so prevalent, and had used it in his practice for many years. He charged her to guard it with care, as it would prove to be of great value in the new country to wbicii she was going. Before leaving England, she pasted the recipe on the bottom of a bureau drawer (the key to which she kept hdrselOi as the jmx.i secure place she rculd find. They finally reached America safely, and knowing of some friends who had settled in Vermont, they de- cided to go there, expecting to secure the fortune which they were confident awaited them. In this they were doomed to /disappointment, but by patient industry they managed to live comfortably. After a while our father began to run down, and finally was taken severely sick with a complication of liver troubles. A doctor was at once called who said there was no help, »s the disease had run so long. Poor mother, in despair, thought of the last gift ot her old friend, tlie Doctor, and going to the old bureau drawer, she copied the recipe, and sent me with it to the nearest druggist, several miles distant. When I returned with the pills she began giving fother thd old doctor's remedy, and to her delight he began to improve, and soon regained his health. After that, if she heard any one was suffering frOm Biliousness, Ulver Complaint, Neuralgia, or any such diseases, she would send them some- of the pills, but never intended to offier them ibr sale. They sorni gained such a reputation that mother could not afford 8 to give all that were asked for. Father and mother talked the matter over many times, and at last they decided to have a lot put up in boxes, and let people pay for tii»em. The demand continued to increase, and finally father commenced selling them by travel- ling through Vermont and New Hampshire. He sold them in this way for eighteen or twenty years, until his death. After his death, his wife continued to make the pills, with the assistance of her son-in-law. She would never show the recipe to any one, not even to him, although he manufactured the pills under her direction. When she had told hhn what ingredients to use, she would put the drawer back, lock it-care- fully, and return the key to her pocket At her death, the original recipe was given to this son-in- ^aw, who, being engaged in other business, and find- Ln^v more people wailicd them than he was able to sup^ply, applied to the well-known firm of Wells, Richudson & Co., who, after investigating the matter carefully, and being convinced that the pills were a remedy of great value, consented to undertake their manufacture. The bottom of the bureau drawer was cut out, in order to obtain the original recipe, which is now in their possession, still pasted to the board where it was placed forty years ago. The old bureau still remains in Waterbury, where the cut drawer can be seen by any one. §K To Tfee Public.

WELLS, RICHARDSON & CO., Montreal, P.Q WILLS' MGLISti FILLS. as the title indicates, are prepared from the formula of the cdcliratcd English physician of that name. They are purely vegetable, sugar-cpated, with none of the unpleasant effects usually attending the use of ordi- nary liver remedies They are nut crude, drastic purgatives like mainy pills, bitters and invigoratr>rs, which weaken an already worn-out system, and cause dyspepsia, piles, chronic diarrhoea, and similar troubles. But being free from poisonous minerals and irritating matter, they act gently and naturally, and leave the entire system healthy. What do they Cure? Constipation is the origin of nineteen-twentieths of human disease, and in its train follow the common symptoms of indigestion — sense of fullness and op- pression in the stomach, shortness of breath, belching of wind, bad taste in the mouth, foul breath, coated tongue, sour and acrid eruptions, water brash, tired, lazy feeling, dull, heavy sensation about the eyes, drowsiness and lan^our, loss of appetite, and general debility. These ailments unrelieved become chronic, and give rise to a whole alphabet of disease.

How do thoy Aet? Acting upon the liver and digestive tract, these jpilfai not only relieve, but remove and prevent. They cleanse the liver, rouse it from its torpid, inactive state ; stimulate the secretion and flo# of n«dthy bile, which is the l^est regulator of the bowels ; expel the nauseous gases and acids which infest the stoniaich ; strengthen the digestive oi^ans ; and thus bcf^nning at the root remove the various forms of stomach and liver troubles. E WILLS ^ NGLISH : PILLO For lncll0iMtion of tho Momaoh. WILLS' ENGLISH AN AUXILIARY TO One of the commonest maladies of the day is indi* gestion of the stomach. Thousands suffer from it, and consider it one of the simple ailments of life. Let us assure such people that no malady is more dangerous if allowed to run on unchecked. The stomach and bowels are intimately connected and are a part of one canal through which the food enters and pa^es away. Indigestion affects both this stomach and bowels ; both suffer severely from the same symptoms. It can be said with truth that the stomach and bowels n^late the health of the human body. A weak, inactive stomach means poor diges- tive power, and a difficulty of passing chjrme and other portions of the food into the intestines. A constipated condition of the bowels is felt at once by the stomach in many ways. The bowels should be well cleaned — flushed out, in the same way as we would clean a choked and clc^ged sewer. All accumulations of putrid matter should be got rid of, so that 4hc entire digestive machinery may work with order and harmony. This great work is accomplished by using Wills English Pills at the right time. They are prepared iq>«cially for this great work of cleansing, toning and ttrengthening, and never fail to do the work well. Physicians and others who have had an experiencie with Wills* English Pills strongly recommend them, and say they are the best family pill ever used.
