had made use Of in restoring my long lost

for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt pain, aud am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. IN
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack up carefully;
and Mr.. Berney will bring it safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
Poladelphis is the only medicine IN the world,
that will cure the Rheumatism With Joy and

ENGLAND FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Ia seventy years. tine people of Great Bri-
tain have advanced full eight millions. In
twenty-five years, the number Of houses in
England and Wales alone have advanced
one half. Fifty years ago, the very exis-
tence OF canals was matter of incrcdulity.
Fifteen millions of public wealth have now
been proftably absorbed by these mighty
ducts; and at least half as much more is at
this hour destined for their formation. Fifty
years ago there was hardly steam engine
in the kingdom. There cannot now be less
than twelve thousand; a creation of power
equal to at least quarter ola million of hor-
ses; an energy which, in a single day, would
have raised up the great pyramid of Egypt.
Fifty years ago our annual export of man
ufactured cotton, did not amount to a quar-
ter of a million in value. 1t has now swollen
to near thirty millions. In the same period.
our exported woollens, in defiance of Saxon,
Prussan, Spanish and American compet-
tion, have advanced more than two millions
Fifty years ago, our imports of raw silk
were only three hundred pounds in weight
