I aim l gladly answer any iaquiriee oonoeruing the facts in my este ours truly, THOS. WILLIAMS, It)) Robert at-, Toronto. District. of 1ipl>ssill . Mattawa, Dee, 27t1, esti}, IIi"sroomurree 1t umentn Assam/Me Oontlemen,—I received your first package of medicine two weeks .ago, and have use it ever since, 1u wwi heartilytesti- mony to its excellence as a remedy for cronic diseases. With unqualified joy 1 declare, that.l during my lona years of ill -health I never ex- Icrienced ouch benefit from any remedy I used. n the year 3860, thirty years ace, my health suddgnly collapsed in the shape of violent tremblings, dizziness, nervousness. having many* groundless fears., great palpitation of heart, depression ofspirits, and so unable to study that 1 had to giro up my profession of teething. God only known what misery 1 en- dured inthose years. 1' soon found out that I was baying for some of my youthful follies. As was natural, I began using all the patent modieines of the day but all to little purpose, I also tensulted "specialists" of every eases, and though some helped me up for a time. yet I was never cured. Under one menses 1 scrubb- ed an8 washed so much that my skin was nearly worn through, and it only made no weaker, So I went on in a partially broken down o on- dition 'for years; my intellect blighted, and manhood marred, which of late years has boon about lost entirely. I had about given up -a)1 hope. when one day last July, I was reading the Presbyterian of Toronto, and my oyes caught the words '`comnlets revolution in medicine." Ah, thought I perhaps a gracious God. to whom 1 have beenraying for help, had something for me here, So Ivied. and saw two very honest like letters from two ladies in Toronto. who had been cured of long standing complaints. I obtained the book and not only read, but studied it, and thought about it as well as I could at the time, 1 lied faith to believe Dr. Jordan's theory to be the true one. And now. having tried the remedy for only two weeks, I thank God that I was ever directed to it; forI certainly believe it was providential. I am. so far, filly satisfied with it as a simple, easy to be taken, safe and eltoetual remedy. I telt almost as swell as any man could wish to feel. Low spirits ail gone, get up in the morn- ing singing—could sing all day—beginning to feel that vigor and lightheartedness which maims life so pleasant, "My head is splendid. Oh what comfort I have in reading now. I do not exceet.'tis true, to be made into a young man (being now 55), but I'firmly believe I will be cured of my ills after using the remedies for a length of time oorresnonding to my -ago and long standing complaints. Tho medimnes I had taken in the past wore dreadfully strong, and many a wry face I made in using them,and always bad to increase the:dose- I often felt myself injured by them otherwise; and no won- der as I took so much. But not ,so this medi- cine. It is perfectly harmless. o -,orating so gently and yet with such wonderful, effect, as really to make one wonder,how such a simple looking, almost tasteless substance could have such power But it is a builder up of the poor broken down body,.and brings joy to many a heart. So I advise all who are affiioted with sickness whioh baffles all the"old schools" not to allow any unreasonable prediudice to hinder them from giving *these remedies a fair trial, and I am sure you will not repent it. aieThis is no "blow merely to help the Nistoge- natio Association, but I ani speaking what I solemn+y believe to be true concerning, myself so far aslhavegone, and for the benefit of the uffering, for whose aid'I believe God has raised an and prospered Dr. J. Eugene Jordan. Gratefully yours.

Here also 1 had the pleasure to meet John Esscry, Esq., of Usborne, a successful stock man, whose first exclamation was ; "Ielteu did you see Red Sam? I wish he were Bore." The exhibition as a whole was rot to bo compared to our Western Fair, London; but as an instap000f the public enterprise of its citizens has lately in the centro of Woodward avenue, erected a pinnacle one hundred foot, decorated with portraits of Sherman and other noted Generals, and having an archway underneath sufficient to admit soldiers on horseback to ride four - a -breast, where lately the grand army of forty-five 'thousand soldiers in uniform, marched, and in whose honor it was erec ed. From here we visited Bell Island, a beautiful island a miles long and contain- ing a deer park with some 50 deer, and a number of eagles, the emblem of their country; also a fine hotel, in front of which stool a fine sample of an Irishman reclining on his spade. When asked what building he called that, (pointing to the hotel) he said with a knowing twinkle, „The divil a one of me knows what they pall it, but I think its a collega where they teach young men to drink whiskey." The island is connected by a suspension bridge to the mainland ; the bridge is of a mile long. On coming back to Detroit I met a number at old-time residents of Biddulph, but now residents of Uncle Sam's domains Among that number is William rummond of Adare, Joseph. Cobleigh, Ja es Bark, Lucan ; and after auswering such questions as how is Mosey, Tom Coursey, Jo Culberl and Tom Reef, and other questions too numerous to mention, I was allowed to pass on here also. Thad an introduction to Mr. Hurley, a wealthy merchant of De- troit, and owner of small steam boats, coal yards, etc., and keeps a large number of men employed. Mr. Hurley speaks well of Canadians in general, but of his "barn boss," Mr. Thomas Cobleigh, formerly of Biddulph, in particular, who has proved himself a good reliable roan and has now some 130 horses of Mr, Hurley's in his care . Mr. Cobleigh being au old pupil of Mr. Charles Rudds, of London, at one time the most popular horse doctor in Middle- sex, and like his teacher, Mr. Cobleigh is now very successful. Taking the steamer next day I; visited the Stook Farm of Mz. Farnam, importer and breeder of Peroheron° and French Coach horses, of which he has some 145 at present, and has 80 fine stallions. His farm is beautifully situated on an island some seven miles long, ten miles below Detroit, and is called the "Island Home Stock -Farm" Space prevents me at the present from giving anything likea de- scription of his magnificent stock or farm, but must say his stock of Percheron horses beat anything I ever saw before, and con- sider it well worthy of going all the way there to see. I also found Mr. Farnum a most obliging gontieman that takes a pleasure in showing his stock to visitors, and not above telling how he commenced at the foot of,the ladder at the time of the American war, (in which he took an active part) and worked upby diligence and good fortune till he arrived at the pinnacle: of fame where he now stands.

A veterinary surgeon was called in and sewed up the wound. Another horse nearly knooked out its eye, no doubt by running against a tree in its fright. The shook was a very severe one, as some of the people in the hoose were rendered senseless for a short time. The heavy rain at the time no doubt prevented fire. ••r.e Biddulph Counoi.

In many parts of Russia famine faces the poor peasantry, and in the adjoining northerncountries the harvest prospects are so deplorable that bread has already gone up 80 per cent., and famine prices are feared for the winter. In Central Sweden the result of the constant rain has been to lay some of the Lowes valleys for weeks under water. In Denmark the condition of things is no better, and in both countries the wheat crop is reported to bo entirely destroy- ed. The damage is not confined to wheat, which is the least important of Scandinavian cereals. Agricultural losses in Denmark are estimated at $15.000,- 000, and as half the cnitivated area in Sweden is under cereal crops the loss there can hardly be less. How thankful Canadian should be that their crops are plentiful, while so many nations of the earth are in danger of starvation from famine.

The freight from Goderich to London, St. Thomas and similar points has been raised from 5 to 7e cents per 100 lbs., the rate to the same places from Orilla, a compet- ing point, having been reduced from 11 to 9 cents.
