all ready for shipping, was entirely con-
sumed. The total loss will reach about &C.,

After much research he could freely say,
not as minister of the gospel, merely, but
as student of history he had not found a re-
ligion equal to that which Christ taught. Not
with this religion, but with our nominal reli-
gion, the imperfect inhuman religion of New
England, he would compare Buddhism. OF
the ten hundred million people in the world,
four hundred million were Buddhists. Buddh-
ism is the religion of Burmah, China and
Japan AT the bottom of our religion we find
love, at the bottom of theirs we find intellect.
They had sought to win converts by preach
ing, whereas our torefathers had often resort
ed to bloodshed. 1t is the custom of our
people to consider Buddhism simply as heath

Is it profanity? We have much of it. The
lecturer asked the peoples pardon for saying
1t, but he had heard more swearing in Maine

moral connected with this lecture which we

Mr.. JAMES I. FELLOWS, Chemist.
DEAR SIR In May, 1866, was attacked
with severe dry cough, which continued in
harshness for some time, when l commenced
expectorating a thick, whitish substance, then
I raised greenish yellow and slate-colored
matter, then bleeding of the lungs set in and
other symptoms of very alarming character
showed themselves. l consulted the leading
physicians in Philadelphia and other cities,
who gave me no encouragement, as my dis
ease was Consumption. l spared no expense
to obtain relief, but found none. In August
had fallen in flesh from loo to 1856 pounds,
and sinking rapidly every day. My friends
in Philadelphia advised me leave the ship and
go home. At home they considered my case
hopeless, and wished me to remain there and
not die in foreign country. l visited st.
John ia October of the same year on my way
to Philadelphia to join my ship, and was ad-
vised by stranger, who noticed my shrunken
form and rackiag cough, to try your Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites; and, as
ming man will grasp at straws, saw
ray of hope IN the suggestion, and procured
bottle. The effect warranted further trial,
and bought dozen bottles, and left st. John,
and have been knocking about the Atlantin
ever since.
As this is the first time have visited your
city since, feel under an obligation to let
you know the effects produced by this Syrup.
l continued taking the remedy regularly. At
first my appetite improved-1 regained
strength-then my cough gradually left me,
and finally the expectoration ceased; and
although the benefit was gradual, l could
note the change for the better every day, SO
that after having taken ten bottles consid-
cred myself well. This was about five months
from the time l commenced taking the Syrup.
short time after had considerable trouble,
and feeling some Of the old symptoms re-
turning, finished the other two bottles; and
now l consider myself as well as / ever was
in my life My present weight is l62. seven
pounds above my usual healthy standard.
My nerves are good, my appetite good, and
general health excellent. l heartily recon-
mend your Syrup to all persons troubled with
any difficulties or disease of the Lungs or
Nervous System, firmly believing that had
not used it, would not now be living
Hoping this letter may meet the eyes of
others similarly affected, and induce then. TO
use the same means Of cure.
Iremain yours very truly,
