Faculty of his own cure was in these words:
"MAny years ago / was in the last stages OF
consumption, confined to my bed, and Al one
time my ply stefan thought l could not live Z
week then like a drowning man catching at .
straw, I heard Of and obtained the preparation
which I now offer to the public, and they made 8
perfect cure of me. 1t seemed 10 me that ]
could feel them penetrate my whole system
They soon ripened the matter in NY lungs, AnC
I would spit up more than a pint Of ofensiv
yellow matter every morning for q long time.
"As soon as that began to subside, my cough
fever, pain and night swests all began TO leav,
me, and my appetite became so great that it wa
with difficulty thai I could keep from eating TO,
much. ! soon gained my strength, and hsv'
grown TO flesh ever since.
81 was weighed shortly after my recovery
added the doctor, "then looking like 8 mert
skeleton my weight was but ninety-seven lbs
my present weight Is two hundred and twenty
five (225) pounds, and for years I have enjoyed
uninterrupted health"

The Michigan Liquor Law.

The new liquor law of Michigan, as recently
amended by the Legislature, is more stripgent in
lis provisions than the law in this 81 ate, which
is working 80 admirably. It provides for the
recovery Of all money pnyed for liquor, except
wine, beer or elder; and this recovery may be
made either By the person paying for the same,
or by the wife, husband parents, children, or
guardian of such person. All contracts and
commercial transactions completed with the
sale OF such liquors are made null and void,
Fearing the results that are likely to follow the
enforcement Of the law large number Of the
saloon keepers are closing up their establis-
mens and seeking more honorable callings. The
Adrian Journal says, out of more than 100 places
in Jackson where intoxicating liquor was sold,
nearly 20 have abandoned the traic, and re.
ports that several in Adrian are preparing to
follow suit.

The Treaty of Washington Ratified

On Wednesday last the Senate ratified &
Treaty os Washington without amendment, tue
vote being so for and IL against its ratification.
In its general provisions it will ultimately be
found to be more to the advantage OF this nation
than is now conceded. With the fisheries on
the Canadian shores almost free to American
enterprise, and a free and unrestricted outlet for
the vast commerce Of the West through the Wei
land Canal and the River Lawrence to the ocean,
the Canad ans will more cleay perceive the ad-
vantages of enjoying a closer union with the
United States that the same laws which have
guided our star of political aud commercial des-
tiny to its preseat ascendancy, may also cause
tie Pickering light Of the Dominion to shine
with greater brilliancy.
The results which by it will hereafter be
aeL ieved, will add new lustre to the name and
acts Of our Chief Magistrate, whose Administra-
tionof tbs Glverum,nt has bean as successful |
and ilustriuuS, as were the achievements of him
self and his associate Generals on the fell of
battle to secure the integrity and homer Of the
