the quantity Of land in these valleys is so

add to this he fact that the lands are all

that il is almost impossible to get good

gets good one, and it renders the County
much less DIES rable for emigrants than it

farms or can get them, and have health

mistaken; it is true, persons Of weak lungs,

EgThat the American people are ap-
preciative Of any substantial service render

for chemist of his splendid reputation
among the literati Of the world, 10 risk it
in the production Of Cough Drops and
Pills. But he boldly threw himself into
the gap where his talents could best sub
serve the public veal. and it is now easy to
see that he did not misjudge the temper Of
his eountrymen. Throughout this nation
and some foreign lands, his name is fore
most at tie bedside of siekness-while in
the good he scatters. he is second to no liv-
ing man. He wins tie brightest laurels
