We have many cases of death from iniem
perance among uneducated and miserable
people, but occasionally an instance in high
lie, of melancholy character. Such a
case occurred at Toronto, lately, in the
cath of William Paris Vincent. He was
the son of Gen. Vincent, now in the East
India Company's service, and in the receipl
of $4,000 per annum, and his mother is
he daughter Of an Enstern Rajah. Becom.
ing incorporate, young Vincent was aban-
doned by his family, and emigraied to Can.
ada, when through the efforts of his friends
he was gradually breaking himself of his
bad habits, but before he was actually free
from tue vice, his father sent him El0J
which threw him into bad company, into a
career of dissipation, and finally Into bis
grave.

with shortness fbreath great fiuterng OF the heart
which has been very distressing and has frequently
been unable to leave her bed. The rupture was very
large and severe. She tried almost every remedy Tor
such cases with but little benefit. When she had ia
ken but hree bottles of your excellent medicine she
was entirely relieved of the disease of the heart, and
the rupture has almost entirely disappeared.
She has also had the dropsy, and was very much
swollen We had no idea that she could be SO bene-
6sed as she had such complication of diseases.
But it has, strange as it may appear, relieved her
of the dropsy am aware that this statement is so
strange appear almost like fiction, but it is
sober reality Your SarsaParilla Is certainly valu
able medicine, and should be used by every one that
suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this
