into n dram-slOp, and tried every meaus te induce him to drink but without success.
 A man who had been incorporate from the age of g to 50, at an expense of $50 a year for liquor, took the medicine about weeks since, and he is now completely temperate. He says he has no desire tor ardent spirits. He is strong Gnd vigorous as in his youth. His nerves, winch before could not be quietcd by two or three glass es. are now tranquil without any stimulus. To a question on this point, he replied. stretching out his hand and arm with per- feet steadiness, "see that ,"
 But the most extraordinary cure which we met with, was that of Journeyma n printer. He had beon educated drunk ard. In his boyhood, his father, now in the grave by intemperance, used to lead him a. bout to taverns and "porter-houses," and after drinking himself, 10 give of the same poison to his little son. Under these cir- cumstances it is not s1range,if at the age ot IT he was confirmed drunkard. He is now 30. In the course of these l3 years of de- baucherv, he has been twice lunatic--has been once carried to the hospital-has had two fits, and one convulsion-has been oft- en found dead drunk in the sreets,and car- ried home or to the watch-house,- ,-has l freouently lost his hat and shoes--has abus- l ed his mother-in short, has been drunk ard of the very worst character. A quart of spirits day, was for him moderate portion. Hewould often get up nights, to slake his unsuitable appetite for rum. This man resorted to Dr. C. about weekssago took his medicine seven times-and has drank no ardent spirits since, nor had any desire for it. Peace is now restored to this disorganized family :>s and his widowed mother is rejoicing and blessing God for this. unexpected deliverancc.--We ought however, to add, that having taken the medicine in spirits, he is still fond of strong beer he is fully satisfied that by treating l this appetite in the same manner as the other, the result will be the same. He is
 determined to try the experiment.
 In making most of these inquiries, we
 were accompanied by the Rev. l.. Dwight
 of Boston. and are authorised to say that he concurs in the above statement. As to the efficacy of the remedy for q time, there can subject, but one opinion. Whether the dis relish for ardent spirits will be permdncnt, can be better determined a year or two hence But evenif it should continue only tDo months, (and several of the above cases are ofso long standing,) would it not be we'll worth while, for drunkard, the dis- grace and ruin off his family and the destroy CT of his own soul, to take this medicine thus often, for the sake of being healthy, vigor- ous, rational and temperate? Is it not as wise to spend S2O year, and be man, as l $50 and be a beast

MARSHAL Won BULOW,

Marshal Won Bulow, the Prussian Cen
eral who brought up the army OF. reserve ut
Waterloo and by whom the fate of that
bloody day was decided, is now converted to
Christ. hasagiven up his military profession,
is prosecuting his missionary labours for souls
through Europe, and this under the patron
age of the Continental Society in London,
for the propagation Of the Gospel in Europe.
The Marshal appeared in London, ut the an
nual meeting of the Society, and gave them
the different badges, of warlike glory that he
had obtained. desiring that they might be de-
voted to the enlargement of the cause of
mercy and truth in the world. He has the
simplicity of little child, whilst he posses
ses the most undaunted courage. He appears
to be very eminently qualified for the work
to which our God has appointed him. He is
not only diligent in his work. but his useful
ness is very great."-Baptist Mae.
Marshal Won BulOw was converted to
Christ. near the close of 1918, after several
months of extreme anxiety and restlessness.
When thelight of salvation shone upon him,
he felt thai bis whole course of life must be
changed could now no longer live to
myseiE, he saysOr be the servant Of sin; no
more could have worldly honour and glory
for the object of my pursuit; nor could I
find it consistent to be at the same time SOL
der of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of
Peace, and of an earthly prince,--a soldier of
life, and death. I therefore left the military
service, and determined to devote myself to
the work of the Lord" Accordingly, in the
spring of 1919, he visited the coast of Nor
way, distributing Bibles and imparting reli-
glous instruction whenever he went. He was
greatly affected with the moral wretchedness
of the people, but could do no more for them
uli the spring OF 1895, when he procured
boat 25 feet long, with the aid Of two sail |
'ors, visited the whole coast from Christiana
to Drontheim. He preached the Gospel at
80 different places, to congregations Of from
20 to 500 hearers, and distributed some humid |
red copies of the Scriptures, together with |
5000 or 1000 Tracts. He was ordained in
Lordon on the 18th of Feb. last, and as sta |
ted above, is now a Missionary, under the di- |
rectionof the Continental Society.
