CURE OF DROPSY
Gomorsal, Leeds.
"Dear Sir,—This is to certify that two
eleven shilling bottles of Clarke's Blood
Mixture cured my wife when three eminent
doctors were powerless."
"Her complaint was dropsy, and she had
been ill nearly ten leers. You are at liberty
to publish this if you please.—Yours truly,
JOHN COX."
IMPORTANT ADVICE TO ALL.—Cleause
the vitiated blood whenever you find i42im
purities bursting through the skin in pimples,
eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find
it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
i when it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pure, and the
health of the system will follow.
As this mixture is pleasant to the taste, and
warranted free from anything injurious to the
most delicate constitution of either sex, the
Rroprietors solicits sufferers to give it a trial
to test its value.
CLARKE'S WORLD -FAMED BLOOD
MIXTURE is Sold in Bottles 2s 6d each, and in

iaea appears to be that the gas should be tapped at the

gestion is tried and fails, he urges that Government should
offer a reward of £20,000 for an effectual remedy for col-
liery explosions.

Mr. Mundella, M.P., speaking at a prize distrilni• .
tion at Keighley, said that since 1861 England had made
great progress in technical education. Before the holding of

civilised nations in technical education, but now the pro-
ductionsnf this country would compare favourably with the .
productions of other countries. England possessed eon"
siderable advantages over foreign countries, but it was in'"
portant, if we were to maintain our position, that both
science and art should be taught to the people.

Wagner, endeavoured to recover possession from a

it has maintained its position, a position a long way fro,-
becoming untenable.
