A Fight with an Alligator.
The Royal Humane Society has granted a medal to Subadah Shamas Ehan, of the Ist Uganda Rifles, for rescuing a comrade from the jaws of an alligator in September last. Th a circumstance is worth a note. His Lordship Bishop Benjamin Arnett, D.D., of Wilberforce, Ohio, U.S.A., makes a note of an equally interesting circumstance when he writes :— "To whom it may concern : In April, 1894, while on my way home from Philadelphia, I caught a severe cold, which soon developed into rheumatism. It was impossible for me to rest by day or sleep by night. About the Ist of June I was compelled to take to my bed, where I remained for some tint* When I was able to get np, I could only get about by the use of crutohes. The fall came on, and the rheumatism grew worse, lasting all through the winter of '94 and '95. I suffered as I never suffered before. I thought that the spring would bring me relief, but it did not ; consequently I was forced to cancel a number of engagements to speak. One day in June '95, my wife said to me, ' Bishop, I read so much about Dr Wi'liams' Pink Pills, suppose you try them, and see if they will not help you ?' S c went to Xenia, Ohio, and brought a box of the pills. On her return she gave me a dose at noon, and ano her at night. She was only called one time to at' end to me that night. For months previous she had been called from three to four times during the night. The next day I ' took three doses 'of the pills, and the second night I was not disturbed. My wife, "iol the first time in more than ten months, had a good night's sleep. I have no' lost a night's sleep since. I carry a box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills wherever I go. I cheerful y bear testimony, and hope that others may find relief. I have recommended Dr Williams' Pink Pills to several people. — Yours, for God and man, " BENJAMIN W. ARNETT."
