ti0n, and for the relief Of Consumptive
Patients In advanced stages Of the
disease.
So wide is the field Of its usefulness and SO nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
hcly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases OF the lungs by Its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what anhdote TO employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident TO our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed ind been discarded, this
has gained frends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

Judge Halliburton Not Knighted.


An erroneous statement in various FORMS has lately
been going the rounds Of the press to the effect that
Judge Halliburton, Of Nova Scotia having been knightcd
by his sovereign, is now Sir Brenton Halliburton and
that he has obtained seat in the Imperial Parliament
The error arises, doubtless from confusion caused by the
similarity Of two names belonging TO entirely different
men and different families
The humorous writer, Thomas c. Halliburton, an ex.
Judge OF one of the Nova Scotia Courts resides now in
England and has been recently returned to Parliament
During the past year two he has been some what pro-
ninent in directing the attention Of the British public by
lectures and speeches 10 colonial matters; and from
his familiarity with such subjects as well as from his
literary reputation he will probably comma aud some At.
tention IN the new House OF Commons But Sam Slick''
has yet to achieve the dignity OF knighthood.
The gentleman upon whom that distinction has peen
bestowed the presen. Chief Justice of Nova Scotia the
Hon. brenon Halliburton, whose high judicial reputation
IS not unknown in this country aud exalted pri-
vate character wins the most profound respect and
ration wherever he IL personally known The monachi.
