OF the canal his horse became frightened and plunged

six hours Mr.. Spring continued rubbing him with
Railways Ready Relief, when he at last became sensi
BILE to PAIN and new life appeared to be infused with
III his body.
We give the fathers evidence as to the result of the
accident:
"On looking on the bleeding and mauged face of my
son, my heart sckened. | never saw such horrible

The other accident to which we refer is that of Mr..
Steadman, operator in the telegraph office at Mono
ton, n. b. Mr.. Il. S. Allen, who was present at the
time the accident occurred and is in this city,
ports the following:
While in the store of Messrs. Miles Wood, of
Moncton, an old gentleman rushed in, calling for q
doctor "For Heaven sake" said lie TO Mr.. Miles,
"where is DR.. Wilson? Has he been here? Ny son
is shot, and afraid that before the Doctor be
found his arm will require amputaton." "The Doc
tor" said Mr.. Miles, "has gone TO Coquon, and will
not return until late; " and turning to Mr. Allen, he
asked, "What wouldyou recommends" Mr.. Allen hay
ing seen the great and beneficial effects of Railways
Ready Relief in gun-shot wounds, replied. al will do
all can" So taking case of instruments, took
out fourteen Shots from his arm. His flesh, however,
was completely mutilated, and feared that mortfca
ton would take place. l. however, poured large
quantity of Railways Relief in the wounds and bath
ed the whole length of the arm with it. then satu-
rated piece of cotton with the Relief, and bound up
his wounds. then gave him teaspoonful of the
Ready Rellefas drink The next day he was at his
business in the telegraph Office The Doctor, his
RETURN surprised that unpracticed person should
attempt surgical operation, and, although he pro-
nounced my SURGERY botch. he admitted that there
was much virtue in the Ready Relief.
