DEAR SIR. —There is an old ' adage.
that says "a prophet is not without
horror save in his own urinary," and
the saying is generally accepted as con-
taining inue..h truth It)dedcl it is ex-
panded into the generally accepted be,
lief that true 0111it, whether it be that
oral' individual, or that of some Med
icinary preparation is much more like-
ly to meet with popular aptiroval-at a
distance than at home. Nasal Balm;
acknowledged tbeing the greatest
remedy for cold in the head and ca-
tarrh,ever• offered the people of Canada
affords a striking; instance of the fact
that popular opinion, for• once,,it least
is wrong. From the outset its popular,
ity in the home of its inanufaeture has
been unbounded and constantly in
creasing. In evidence of this we offer
testimonials from two Brockville gentle
men who are 1 1101 11 throughout the
Domihien. '
D. Derbyshire,Esq., Mayor of Brock-
ville and for the past two years Presi-
dent of the Ontario Creamery 'Associa-
tion , says. --"Your Nasal Balm is truly
a wonderful remedy. I may say that
T was afflicted with adistressing case
of catarrh, accompanied by a number.
of its disagreeable symptoms. I had
tried other remedies, but without avail
and well nigh .dirsp;urcd ofaa cure,vvhe
I was induced to give Nasal beta
iBalm a
trial. Its effects Were wonderful, and
-
tlre results arising from its use surpris-
ing. Briefly stated, it stops the drop-
ping's into the throat, sweetens the
breath, relieves the headaches that fol -
ow catarrh, and in fact makes one feel
altogether like a new man. No one
=ho is suffering from catarrh in any of
its stages should lose a moment in giv.
ing this remedy a -trial."
James Smart, Esq., Erockyille,Sheriff
of the United. Counties' of Leeds and
Grenville, says: -"It would be impos-
sible to speak too extravagantly of the
wonderful curative properties of Nasal
Balm. I suffered for upwards of a
month from a severe cold in the head,
which, despite the use of other remed-
ies, was becoming worse and develop-
ing into catarrh. I procured a bottle
of Nasal Balm and was relieved from
the first application and thorougly cur-
ed within twenty-four hours. I cheer-
fully add my testimony to the value of
Nasal Balm."
These are but two illustrations out of
the hundreds of testimonials the pro-
prietors of Nasal Bahl have had from
all parts of the Dominion, but they
ought to convince the most skeptical.
If your dealer does not keep Nasal
Balm it will be sent on receipt of price

Forestry.
To the Editor of the "ADVOCATE,
Exeter.
Sir, as the subject of forestry is a
very important one to Canada, per-
haps you will allow me to lay these
Hues before your readers:—
The value of preserving a proper
amount of forest throughout the count-
ry is now welt known, and lastspring,
while travelling through several din•
tricts of Ontario, I saw much progress
made in planting ,, trees both for shelter
and ornament. I should .rave' travel-
ed through most of Ontario, but was
prevented by an illness of several
months duration. I should be very
glad, therefore, if some of my old cor-
respondents or others would send me a
replylv to the followingquestions, for
use in my nextforestry 'report, a copy
of which will be sent to all who answer:
(1) -Whether and to what extent linse
0fstrees for windbreak or ornament
are being planted, and how those plant-
ed are
lant-edal•e thriving.
i t.
(Z)SSethc.i plantation of gonna trees
have been set Out, and Trow they sue-
eeech
3) 1SS'hethbi' cattle are fenced out
from any portion of forest in your lo
calitJ ' and 1iw it answer's.
(4) Any difference in climate, rain-
fall, drifting of snow and so forth, you
may have served since the cicari;<•ig
of the country,
(5) Whet measure, if any, would be
likely to improve the existing State of
offalrs. Yours truly,
It. W. Phipps,

In almost every exchange from the
North-West there appear items with
reference to Canadians who have mov-
ed from Dakota back to Manitoba or
the North-West. Some years ago there
were, undoubtedly, ar number of Can-
adians [not so large as represented by
anti -Canadian papers, but still largel
Sabo, misled by false representations of
railway and land company agents, and -
unfortunately influenced by Grit orat-
ors, in and out of Parliament, and Grit
newspapers, left Manitoba and other
parts of Canada, and. settled in Dakota.
These men were, for the most part, the
very, pink of settlers. Possessed of some
means, sober, steady, hardworking,'in-
dustrious farmers, they were bound. to
prosper in almost any country. But,
Dakota has proved too much for them.
Nothing, apparently, can stand the
summer drought and winter blizzards
of that inhospitable climate, and so our
Canadians are getting home, as fast as
they can, to avoid being starved to
death. Here is an extract from a let-
