The Wiitgham papers say that the cow which developed what the British authorities call pleuro -pneumonia, and led to the scheduling of the Canadian cattle, was one of eleven purchased in Howick township and shipped by Mr. Dulmage, of that town. The disease so much dreaded never had an exist- ence in this section, and the farmers of Huron will be slow to believe that the discrimination now made against Ca- nadian cattle is well founded.

N -THIRD. William A. Lehr of Kendallville, Ind., says Hood's Hood's Sarsaparilla is King of ;'ycdichhes And llis Cure Was Almost a gs Tracie "C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. " Gentlemen:. When I was 14 years of age I was confined to my bed for several months by an attack of rheumatism, and when I had partially recovered I did not, have the use of my legs, so that I had to go en crutches. About a year later, Sero£n/aa, in the form of White Swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for eleven years I was an invalid, being con. domed to any bed six yenee. In that time ten or eleven of these sores appeared and broke, causing me greatpain and suffering. Several times pieces of bone worked out of the sores. ' Physicians did not help me and 1 Became Discouraged "I' went to Chicago to visit a sister, as it was thought a change of air and scene might do me good. But I was confined to my bed most of the time. I was so impressed 'with the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla in cases similar to mine that I decided to try It. So a bottle was bought, and: to my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel better. This strengthened my faith in the medicine, and ina short time Iwas Up and Out of Doors To make a long story short, I continued to take flood's Sarsaparilla for a year, when I had become so fully released from the chains of disease that I took a position' with the Flint & walling Mfg. Co., and since that time have not lost a single day on account of sickness. I. always feel - well am in good spirits, and have a good appetite. I endorse Hood's Sarsaparilla for it has been a great blessing to me, and to my friends my recovery seems almost mirac- ulous. .I think. Hood's' Sarsaparilla is the king of all medicines." WILLLtM A.
