DIR. S. w. SMYTH:
Dear Sir Il take the opportunity again
to express my gratitude for the great ben
eft received under your treatment some
seven years since. At that time I was
suffering from catarrhal affection and ul-
ccrated sore throat, which had impaired
my general health to an alarming extent.
had been under the care of some of the
best regular physicians both in this place
and Burlington, had received no perma-
nent benefit but was rapidly and surely
growing worse, when consulted you. !
saw you but once, yet after following up
your prescribed remedies for few weeks,
the throat troubles entirely disappeared,
and my general health became as good as
formerly. 1t is but just to add, that dur
ing this lapse of time, the disease has
never again appeared
l would also say in behalf of Mrs.
Gleed that your treatment of her case for
Bronchial catarrh some four years since,
was very successful, ehecting cure in
two or three months. Most earnestly
can recommend you to my friends and
the public at large as physician deserv-
ing the utmost confidence.
Very respectfully yours,
PHILIP X. GLEED.

No new appointment of Clerk of

charge them, that any change that

answered by telling a story. A party
