Hasty Consumption Cured by Fellows
Hyp0phosphites.

CARBoNEAR, NEWFOUNDLAND, Jan. 3, 1871
Mr.. J. I.FELLows.-Sir:I came to this country
in May, 1869 found countryman of mine
laboring under some affection of the lungs. /
recommended your Syrup, tried at the Drug
gists in Harbor Grace, but they thought 1 was
inventing the name at their expense. How
ever, in April, 1870, Mr.. Edgar Joyce rapidly
wasted away with every symptom of quick con-
SUMPTION so that he was unable to walk across
the room, having no appetite, pains in the left
side nervous system unstrung, dry, hacking
cough, &c. Fortunately 1 learned that your
Syrup could be obtained at Mr.. Dearin's, in
st. Johns, and Immediately procured some
(showed one to W. III. Thompson, who ordered
a supply from you at once.) This was Tuesday
afternoon; at night he took the prescribed
dose, and in the morning he described the very
results notified on the wrapper. His appetite
soon began to return, and voracious one it
was, too; the dry, hacking cough changed into
loose but violent attacks, finally disappearing
altogether pains left his side, his hand assum-
ed its usual steadiness, and before he finished
ten bottles his health was quite restored, and
to-day not a more healthy person is to be found
on our streets; it is the opinion of all, had he
not been fortunate in getting your valuable
Syrupof Hypophosphites, he would now be in
his grave.
He happened to be in w. H. Thompson's the
day your first shipment arrived, and took at
once four bottles to the Labrador, which he
was very anxious to do, but had not occasion
use them himself. No other medicine will he
ever prescribe, recommend or give, but yours.
also recommended it to another consump-
tive, but have not heard from him since, as he
lives in distant part of the Island. Hoping
this will give you some encouragement,
/ remain yours, &c,

experiments introduced at the last seance of
Mr. Emerson at the Mechanics Library Room
on Friday evening "a notice of which was una
voidably crowded out of our Saturdays issue,)
were of the most wonderful and apparently in
applicable character, and at these performances
several new feats will be introduced In addi-
ton to his strange manifestations, Mr.. Emer-
son will sing the favorite character song, 1.-THE
Old Miller of Derbyshire," and also give an
imitation of a cornet solo and his unrivalled
locomotive solo upon the drum. This will form
a very attractive entertainment.

THE PoRTLAD FRATERNITY ENTERTAIN
MENT.-The best evidence of the popularity of
the Fraternity entertainment of Saturday even
ing is found in the fact that half an hour be-
fore the time of commencement Grand Army
Hall was completely filled-seats, aisles and
ante-rooms-the latter so far as persons could
occupy them and see the stage-and the crowd
outside was dense. Hundreds were obliged to
go away. 1t was very pleasant to find musi-
cal programme made up of familiar and favor
tie selections, and equally SO to greet some of
our best vocalists; such stirring trio, for ex-
ample, as ''Larboard Watch, ahoy," which
was sung with enthusiasm by Messrs. Shaw,
PenneI and Mitchell; "Mary of Argyle for
which Mr. Mitchell got rapturous encore the
Cuckoo Song by Mrs. Merrill, and the charm
ing ballad, "Come back to Erin" by Mrs Cum
mings. Mrs. Howc's immortal Battle HYMN
of the Republic was sung with telling effect by
Mr.. Mitchell, the audience joining heartily in
the chorus and the efforts of the singers were
supplemented by Mrs. Allen as accompanies
The great feature of the evening, however, was
Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works, which were exhibit
ed for the second time within a week. The
energetic Mrs. farley was in an exultant mood,
which she attributed to the discovery of a man
up Congress street who makes his own cider
and is permitted to snap his fingers at Sheriff
Perry. Her lecture abounded in puns, sharp
local hits and real impromptu witticisms and
was somewhat varied from her former. 1t kept
the audience in remarkably good humor, and
compensated for the uncomfortable situation
of large part of the audience. very gener-
al desire was expressed that Mrs. farley would
repeat her exhibition before her departure for
Europe, Asia, Africa and Patagonia, in or
der that the hundreds who were crowded out"

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that it is
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion of the merits of any article
without being suspected of interested motives.
This fact, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medica to. which orr attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DIR. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR B1TTERs. a
remedy which is making its way into more
families Just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together There seems to be no
question about the potency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a spe-
cific for Indigestion Billiousness, Constipation
and many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know; and we are assured on
good authority that as a general invigorant
regulating and purifying medicine, it has no
equal. 1t is stated that its ingredients, lob
tanned from the wilds of California; are new
to the medical world; and its extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BTTTERs, for
the saleof the article is immense and continu-
ally increasing apr1-4wt
