OmeoARc.-It is with feelings of regret
that we haus this week to announce the
death of Thomas Cardiff, who departed
this life at his late rosidenoe, 13th con.,
on the 00011 of January, at the age of 42
years. He had been in poor health for
about two years, but it was hoped that
ho would soon be restored to full health
and strength, when he was taken with i
inflammation of the lungs, followed by
other internal troubles whloh baffled all
medical skill, and he passed quietly away
after a very short illness. He was kind
hearted, a very obliging neighbor and
well liked by all who knew him. Mr.
Cardiff was born in Leeds County and
came to this township along with his
parents 30 years ago. Ile was ono of
ten children (7 sons and 9 daughters) all
of whom survive him except one brother,
who died a number of years ago. The
deceased was the 5th son. He was united
in marriage to Miss Eliza Ferguson,
daughter of Jas. Ferguson, of MoRiliop
township. Five children aro left with
the mother to mourn the loss of a loving
father and kind husband. They have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their loneliness and sadness. Rev. W.
T. Cliff, of St. John's church, Brussels,
conducted the funeral service. The re-
mains were interred in the Brussels
cemetery on the let inst., the funeral
being one of the largest ever seen here,
over 80 conveyances being counted.

1 1 Leon Mineral Water,
The following speak for themselves :
Brussels, Ont,, Jan. 8, 1800.
I have been using St. Leon water for
the past month or so and have found it
very efficacious in promoting good health.
After using it a week I found my appe-
tite muoh beledtted and can now eat as
much in one meal as used to suflieo me
for two. For any rheumatic affection 1 '
believe it to be ahead of any drugs or
patent medieioes, and think that per.
sons of a rheumatic tendency should use
it constantly.

Dear Bir, -The St, Leon Mineral Wet.
or that I have been getting from you has
done me so much good that 1 cheerfully
give my testimony in its favor and hope

trial.

This water, the like of which is found
no where else bub at St. Leon, in the
Province of Quebec, resembles all nat-
ure's prodnotions, an egg or grain of
wheat for instance. Wo can tell what

Just as unable to eonnterfeit St. Leon
Mineral Water. But kind nature has
done for us what we could ,not do for
ourselves -brought the sixteen different"
ingredients of this water together iu the
proper proportions, mixed them and

I am in a position to supply this re-
markable water, absolutely pure, straight
from the wells, at a price that leaves
little after covering the cost of bringing
it this far.
