LETIER OF RENUNCIATION. Presently the unsuspecting.postman brought a letter to the Lord Mayor, a letter which con tained the bridegroom's eleventh-hour re nunciation.
Mr. John A. C. McCalman wrote, giving no address, to say that he had determined to abandon his engagement. He s'ated his rea sons, and wished his deserted and dejected bride greater happiness than she could have ever had in a matrimonial alliance with him. She will, it is hoped, realise his wishes.
"It is an inscrutable mystery," said Miss Ritchie's brother to a Mirror representa Live. "We have not the remotest idea what has led McCalasan to act as he has done. We nei her know his reasons nor his whereabouts, though there are theories.
"There was certainly nothing of the nature of a quarrel or a dispute of any sort. They were the happiest pair imaginable, and the blow came like a bolt from the blue.

His narrative (confirmed by the Walsall Observer newspaper) of how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured him of Rheumatic fever--the worst form of Rheumatism-is therefore worthy of special attention, especially as it shows what Rheumatism is, and how it is caused.

LOOTING IN THIBET,
FALSE CHAROES AGAINST THE MISSION.
Gyantse (Thibet), September 27, Lhasa, 22nd September, viz Gyants, (Thibet) :--
Of old, Mr. Turner would have been treated with ambrocations and finiments rubbed into the skin. But Medical Science has advanced now, and we know that Rheumatism isn't an external complaint. Microscopical and chemi- cal researches have shown that Rheumatism js caused by an acid in the blood. Many people have a little of this Lactic Acid in the blood and know nothing of it until they are exposed to cold and damp. Then, for some rearop the acid begins to affect the joints or muscles, and what we know as an attack of Rheumatism takes place. The acid stiffens
the joints and draws up the muscles. Mr.
Turner said that he felt this effect.
During my illness my fingers were all drawn up, and I was told I should never get them straight again; but now they are as straight as they should be. Many a man have I advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, not only for Rheumatism, but for other ailments."
For it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People which cured Mr. Turner's Rheumatism. These pills cure by making new blood. New blood gives the sufferer strength to throw off the poison. This same new blood which Dr. Williams Pink Pills make cures many other diseases besides Rheumatism. It cures anemia,
