From the Intelligencer, Belleville, Ont. It is doubtful if there is any other occupation more trying to tho constitu tion than that of tho thresher. Exposed to tho rains;and storms of tho autumn season, and at tho same timo choked with the dust consequent upon thresh ing, ho easily falls a prey to disease. Mr. Jos. H. Davis, a rom'dout of. the township of Wicklow, Hastings county, follows tho threshing maohino for some mouths every fall. For eight or nine yoara he was subject to attaoks of in flammatory rheumatism. The disoaso usually mado its appearance in tho fall and continued throughout tho wintor, causing not only muuh Mnfloring but great inconvenience, Mr. Davis' most serious attack ocourrod during tho win ter oil 80H. It first mado itself mani fest by tho swelling of tho right hand, and hoforo twouty-fours had passed tho disoaso appeared to havo gono through the wholo system, and tho logs wore swollen to an abnormal sizo, so much so that tho joints wore not visiblo through the swollings. For tun months the troublo Continued and during that period Mr. Davis was unablo to put on his own clothes, aud tho pain ho en dured almost passed comprehension. Quo doctor uftor another wa tried but without any bonoilcial results. Then advertised modicines wero tried but with no bettor success, "I oau hardly uny," said Mr. Davis, "how much monoy I spent on doctors audmodicino, but it amounted to a considerable sum, and yofc I would most willingly .havo given my farm to ho rid'of tho torriblo pain I was forced to onduro. But all my expenditures soomod of uoavail,and I began to despair of a euro. At this juncture, acting on tho ndvioo of a friend, X bogau using Di\ Williams' Fink Fills. The first six boxos T used soomud from outward appeavaneos to havo had no ofl'oct.imd-I fcltalmost liko giving up In despair. I thought, how- ovor, that possibly that was not a fair trial for ono in my ooudition and T pro cured ii further mipply. By tho timo I had used throe boxes moro thoro was a considerable improvement noticeable, and from that out oaoh day found mo growing bottor. "1 continued using Dr. Williams' Fink Fills until I had takon oightoon'boxes by which timo ovory vostigo of tho pain - had loft mo, and I was fooling in ovory rospoctanowmon. I boliovo, too/that the euro is povranu- ont, for I havo not known what it is to suffer with rheumatism since. It will thus bo soon that Dr. Wil liams' Fink Pills released Mr. Davis from tho painful thraldom of rheuma tism at a comparatively small expense aftor doctors and other medioinos had utterly'failed to givo him even a fair measure of roliof. It is obvious thoro- foro that if Dr. Williams' Fink Fills are given a fair trial thoy nrc*suro to bring roliof and a oure.
