BRIEFLETS.—The matrimonial fever, which
has been raging in this section forsome
time, has aornewhae abated.—The people
are nearly all tired of winter and are wish-
ing for pring.—Violent colds are very pre-
valent, many children, especially, suffering
from this cause. We hope they will soon
all be well and happy again.—The saw mill
of Mr. John Bennewies has been in full
blast for the past two weeks. Mr. Benne-
wies has got a nice stook of logs in his yard.
—Mr. Sam Regly has purchased the fifty
acres upon which the old pony mill was
once located, from Mr. Thomas Downey, of
Seaforth. We have not heard the figure
paid, but have been informed that it was
sold very eheap.—A goodly number from
this section of MoKillop started for ;.Mani-
toba a few days ago. Quite a number of
them were newly married couples from
among the industrious and go-ahead Clan.
They will be a valuable acquisition t� that
Province, and in pleasing contrast with the
majority of those who went a few years age,
who were a failure here in Ontario, and
could seemly be expected to be much of a
success in Manitoles or Dakota.—There is
considerable comment, and some mild indig-
nation, manifested in certain quarters on ac-
count of an item which appeared under the
heading of McKillop, in the columns of the
EXPOSITOR two or three weeks ago, wherein
the writer made reference to the number of
unmarried ladies in certain sections of the
township and their age, etc.

Mandrake Blood Bitters
CONSTANCE, Feb. 1st, 1891
To I. V. FEAR, Druggist, Seaforth,
Ontario:
Dear Sir: For a long time past I
have been greatly distressed with
stomach trouble, suffering extreme pain
with headache nearly all the time. I
had tried every means within ,my
reach, without relief"even physician's
medicine had no effect. I was in a
very despondent way when, happen -
to be in Seaforth one day, some-
body recommended me to try Man-
drake Blood Bitters. As it had, re -
Herd so many, 1 thought it raightt
help me. 1 procured a bottle, ani
truly the relief was almost magical.
From the first few doses I began to
improve, and, after taking a few
bottles, I am like a different person
altogether. Whereas life was a bur
den to me, now it is a pleasure to live.
If ever I have any symptoms of my
old trouble, a few doses of your valu-
able remedy fixes me all right. With
pleasure I reconnnend Mandrake
Blood Bitters.
Andstill give the foot a -very
dressy appearance. They are
something of a novelty off
the stage, but, as "all the
world's a stage," why you're
in it with the Piccadilly.
Drop in and see them, or
write.
