~ n I'll


GAaErowN, N. B., July 20,
Mr. JAMES I. FELLOWS, Chemist-Dear Sir
Allow me to bear my testimony 10 favor OF
your Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphites. I
have used it myself for tuberculosis with
marked benefit, and have given it to great
number Of my patients, with the same results
as l experienced from its use. During the
last seven years I have devoted myself al.
most exclusively to the treatment Of Con-
sumption. having cases under my care in all
parts Of the Province; SO that am enabled
to speak from experience of the benefits de-
rived from its use.
The most marked was a case which was un-
der my care in March last. This was a pa
tient who had been under treatment nine
months with no beneficial results. When l
first saw him he was SO feeble that he could
not sit up long enough to have his hear. and
lungs examined. What disease he had been
treated for did not appear, but found him
suffering under Chronic Splenitis. He had a
severe Cough, DyspnGa, Palpi:ation Of the
Heart, Impaired Digestion, and consequent
general emaciation. l put him under treat
ment, prescribed your Compound Syrup Of
Hyposphites, and after using four bottles he
was able to attend to his farm, and is now
perfectly we'll. In March he was given up by
four physicians respectively; in May he as
sisted in p.oughing eighteen acres of land,
and had run up in fiesl, from | So to l5S pounds
weight.
send you this for the purpose Of making
what use you please Of it, and wish you all
success in your labor for the benefit of suffer
ing humanity.
Strongly recommending the use of your
Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphites to all
who suffer in any way from disease or weak
ness of the Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, or gen.
eral debility. Believe me your obedient ser.

The Coburn Somerset Court House.

Thursday last. The like occasion was un-
precedented and exceedingly interesting
The Governors great wealth, his i'll health
and old age, and the long and bitter county
shire struggle, all contributed to lend novelty
and great interest to the event, and especial
" to those from other parts who had par,ici-
pated in the legislation pertaining thereto
The building is remarkably well conceived
and executed, and should be and doubtless
will be an object of pride to the people Of the
c)unty and especially to the many friends Of
the Governor in the State. No generous act
like 1t, nor any equal to it has ever taken
Mace in this State. But one will look in vain
for anything fitting in or about the building

LEWISTON.

Lewiston. Feb, 10. The trial of James M.
Lowell for the murder of his wife on June ~,
1870, was begun this morning in the Supreme
Court at Auburn, Judge Walton presiding.
II may be remembered that this is the some
what romantic case which was brought to
light by the discovery of headless skeleton
in the woods about three miles from this city
in October last. Lowell was arrested in Law
renee, and brought here for his preliminary
examination and committed for trial. He has
since remained in the Auburn jail. Lowell,
who is defended by the Hon. L. F. Pillsbury,
plead mot guilty" He is a man Of thirty
one years Of age, with heavy black NOUS
tache and a careless, Indifferent air. This
morning he was perhaps the least interested
spectator in the room. The excitement over
this trial is only second to that which ensued
upon the discovery Of the bones alleged to be
those of Mrs. Lizzie Lowell.
A large crowd is in attendance at the Court
room; many ladies enduring the tedium Of
the preliminary proceedings for the sake of
the coming sensation. The prosecution is
conducted by Attorney General Plaisted, of
Bangor. About two hours were consumed
in empaneling jury. Cyrus Greedy of Lew
iSton, is appointed foreman.
The Lowell murder trial proceeded this af-
ternoon with undiminished attendance.
Mr.. Wing, the County Attorney, opeaed
the case for the prosecution. Four witnesses
were called, as follows: Lydia J. Bleten,
Lizzie Rowell, Jenny Blood, and Annie
Nancy. The evidence of the first three re-
lated to the Identification of the black silk
dress found around the skeleton and of the
gold chain which she wore.
| Miss Nancy told how Lowell and his wife
started to ride together on the night Of Mrs.
Lowell's disappearance and also how she saw
her put on the black silk before going. 1t is
expected that the testimony tomorrow will
be still more important and interesting.
| The store of n. Bangs, West Durham, in
which is kept the post office, was broken open
last night and few dollars taken.
