The Red River of the North.

"The Red River of the North is
almost an unknown name to Eastern
ears. But it is nevertheless a stream
of vast prospective Importance, and
the Minnesotians do not ovcr-cstimatc
the advantages to be derived from the
introduction of steam navigation on
its waters
The Red River of the North rises
in central Minnesota, and flows north
westwardly into British Territory,
cmptying into Lake Winnipeg, whence
its waters ultimately find their way
into Hudson's Bay. 1t is nearly as
long and as large as the Ohio, and is
even more navigable, at all seasons.
1t flows through country rich in
mineral and forest productions, fertile
and sulubrious, which will before long
attract a large immigration.
The productions Of this region must
find their way to our Eastern markets,

LIVER COMPLAINT CURED.

Mr. a, L. SCOvmL.-Dcar Sir i feel it NV
duty to let You know what your medicine has
done for my wife. She was greatly troubled
with the Liver Complaint, attended with de

We tried your Blood Syrup, together with
the bathing over the liver with salt and alco-

she was entirely cured.
