AGONIZING, TRANSFIXING PAIN
The most excruciating pain known is
perhaps caused by Atirina Pectoris, which
is most to be dreaded of any of the die -
eases of the heart. It distinguishes itaelf
.especially by pain, and by pain which is
hest described as agonizipg. The pain
literally transfiaes the patient, generally
radiating from the heart to the left should-
er and down the arm. The face shows
the picture of terror, and is deadly white,
or livid: To a person suffering from this
„species of heart trouble or from palpitation
or fluiterieg of the heart, alaortness of
breath, or emotheiing spells, the value of
Dr, Agruivr's Cure for the Heart cannot be
estimated, as it will give releif in 30
minutes in every case, and if judiciously
Wed, effect a cure. Dr Agnew's Cure for

Municipal Statistics.,
From the annual report of the Bureau
of Industries for the Province of Ontario
for the year 1894, which has just been
leaned, we glean the followiug information.
The total municipal assessment iu the
Province of Ontario, for the year 1893 was
$825 530,052. being an increase of $131,-
149,393 aince 1886. The municipal taxes
imposed for all parposes in 1893 amounted
to $12,522,660, being at the rate of $5.56
per head of the population, whereas in
1886 it was only $4 03 pee head. The
bonded debt of the several municipalities
in 1893 was $48,083,243 or 828.17 per
head of the populatione heving increased
from 516 37 per head since 1886. The
several municipalities paid in 1893 $2,508,-
691 in interest, this item having increased
nearly three quarters of a million since
1886. The population of the Province has
increased from 1,828,495 in 1886 to 1:910,-
059 in 1893. The increase, however, has
been entirely in the towns and cities as
the township population has decreased in
that time from 1,148,856 to 1,096 984.
Coming down to our own pounty we find
