LONDON, February 19.-The Times, in
an article on the Alabama treaty, says !;
The want of definite basis of arbitra-
tion will reconcile England to rejection
by the United States. This point should
be kept clearly in view in the event of
offers for further negotiations. Eng
land now awaits proposals. The Times
continues: We have done our best; we
have gone to the verge of national hu-
initiation to secure settlement of the
questions at issue. We. shall now wait
for proposition from the new admins
tration under General Grant. 1t is al.
mitted that the claims are a fair subject
for friendly arbitration.

Well AtteSted Cure Of Catarrh.
DIR. A. P. LIGHTHILL-DEAR SIR:-Your
treatment in the cure of my Catarrh has had
the desired effect and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurable and had exhaust
ed all other modes of treatment, without the
least benefit. Ny case was 80 chronic and
troublesome, that by giving few Of the symp
toms the value of your treatment can be more
readily estimated For years had been affiict-
ed with constant cold in the head, Obstructing
my breathing se as to neoessitate me to keep my
mouth open during sleep; latterly, the discharges
became solidifed and impacted in my nose TO
such an extent that it required the greatest eI-
ertion to eIpel them. Sometimes these hard
ened humps would get in my throat, causing me
to hawk and scrape even by the hour to relieve
myself. Ny breath was offensive; my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light headi-
ness made their appearance, and Of late symp-
toms of paralysis stepped in and when placed
myself under your care one side of my face was
sadly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen.
eral health suffered alike, there was q constant
tired drowsy and debilitated feeling, with no
energy to move or acti felt as tired or rising
in the morning as did on going 70 my bed, my
appetite was capricious and nay disposition
morese. In that condition placed myself I'M
der your care, and am happy to state that all
those disagreeable and dangerous symptoms
have entirely left me, and I once nore enjoy the
benefits of good health.
By giving this publicity you will benefit
Others similarly affected and oblige me.
