A correspondent of the Steele Paris, the eoy-
ernment organ Of France writes from Tunis
Algiers, As follows -
Our College of philosophers Mt home, may,
and probably do accomplish great deal for tho
cause OF science, but the Americans are the pco-
pie to turn these discoveries to practical account
Many OF the modern inventions in use here are
American, and one American chemist, Dr. J. C,
Aver OF Lowell, supplies much of the medicine
consumed in this country. Ills Cherry Pectoral.
Pills, Sarsaparilla and Ague Cure constitute the
staple remedies here, because they are of easy
application, sure in their results, and have III
confidence of the people. While the science of
Medicine is carried to higher perfection ia
our own country (France) than any other, il
strikes Frenchman as n little singular that an
american Physician should furnish the medical
xii and remedies for our principal Province.
We are happy to inform our readers that these
hyperion medicines which the Emperor's princi-
al Province is obliged to get from America may
