"From an experience of over thirty
years in the sale of proptietary medi-
cines, 1 feel justified in recommending
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, One of the
best recommendations of the Pectoral is
the enduring quality of its popularity, it
being more salable now than it was
twenty-five years ago, when its great
success was considered marvelous." -

"My little sister, four years of age,
was so ill from bronchitis that we had
almost given up hope of her recovery.
Cur faintly physician, a skilful man and
of large experience, pronounced it use-
less to give her any more medicine;
saying that he had done all it was pos-
sible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. As a last resort, we determined
to try Ayer's Cherry -Pectoral, and I can
truly say, with the raost happy results.
After taking a few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within a week, was
out of danger.' We continued giving the
Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely
well. This has givenme unbounded faith
in the peeparation, and I recommend it
confidently to my customers." -C. 0.

rigging, where they were further exposed for
44 hours without food or water. From the
mizzentop they had to climb to the maintop,
and ultimately to the foretop. On Monday an
apprentice boy was so proetrated, that ie
olimbing from the mizzen to the maintop, he
lost his hold, fell overboard, and was drown-
ed. Ten thousand dollars were raised and
offered as a reward for the rescue, which
was accomplished on Saturday by a, tug and
two lifeboats. The shipwrecked setiaxien on
landing were taken every 'sere of and aupplied
with food and clothing, and £50 iu money
was divided between them. '
An Indian Attempting Suicide From Re-

• A correspondent of the Calcutta "English.
man " tells a curious story which he heard
from a warder in the Alipore Gaol. Two
prisoners were reeling jnte yarn on neigh-
boring benches. One of them had conveived
a bitter hatred for the other, and was wont
to declare thab he would gab hanged for
murder. At last, he Reid, bhe time had
arrived, and reiterated his threat so often
that the man became frightened, and mak
ing an income for leaving his bench quietly
sought she European superintendent of the
mill, and asked his advice. The latter lis-
tened to the story, and advancing to a win-
dow asked the man to point out his pores -
outer. He did so, and a moment afterwards
they actually saw the fellow out his throat
from ear to ear, and throw the bloody knife
over towards the bench a few minutes pre-
viously vacated • by his companion. The
alarm was given, and the injured man was
carried to the infirmary, bat not before he
had mustered strength to indicate that the
other men, who had been with the superin-
tendent at the very moment of the dem; had
tried to murder him. The would-be stud&
eventually recovered. Another "good heter"
among the prisoners once stabbed a fellow -
convict: dangerously in the breaab, and was
in consequence sentenced to five years' extra
penal servitude. When the blared man was
got out of the hospital he was transferred to
a 'remote corner of the gaol. Bab, so

" About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from Themnatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and havingtried various '
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an advertise -
'anent in a Chicago payer that a inan had
been relieved of this distressing com-
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
It regularly for eight months. • I am
pleased to say that it effected a (men-
plete cure, and that I have since had, no
return of the disease."
Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashen, N, H.,
writes: "One year ago I was taken ill
with rheumatism, being confined tie my
house six months. I came out of the
sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I eomineneed to use Ayer's
Sarsaparilla and beganto improve at
once, gaining in strengtb and soon re-
covering my usual heal th. I cannot say
too much in praise of this well-known
medicine."
"I have taken a great deal of medi-
cine, but nothing has done me so
much good as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I
felt its beneficial effects before I had
quite finished one bottle, and I can
freely testify that it is the best blood-
• medicine I know of." -L. W. Ward, Sr.,
