ADDITIONAL STATEMENT.

Since the above statement was made have been
rapidly improving in health. have had no return
of the disagreeable symptoms that attended my
former sickness. and although affected from time to
time with severe colds incidental TO the sudden
changes in our climate, they have not been sufficient
to bring on a return of the disease. MY general
health has been excellent. I have gained TWENTY
five pounds and consider myself entirely recovered
from disease that a year ago seemed likely to
totally undermine my constitution. Since last
February have consulted with great many afflicted
with Catarrh and in the hundreds of cases in which
have sold it have never an instance sufficient
to shake the confidence feel in SanfoId's Radical
Cure for Catarrh,

The Eastern Question.

CoNsTASTINoPLB January lO.-Gen.
Igns,ieff, the Russian representative, in
a confidential communication TO Midhst
Pshs, on Saturday, urged the acceptance
OF certain points IN the conference pro
possls. and indicated the means OF evsd-
ing others. He advised the acceptance
OF an international convention, with con-
sulative powers only. He suggested the
appointment Of officers Of instruction in
stead of the esta blishment OF foreign gen
de armes, and the appointment ct
Bulgarian instead of an European
governor of Bulgaria. He guaranteed
Russia's assent TO the proposals, thus
modified. He denied, in the course %:
his letter, that Russia intended Servia TO
make war.
1t IS considered in Belgrade that the
conference has miscsrried, and \ speedy
declaration of war by Russia is expected.
A Berlin special says the Russian con-
sui at Bucharest has been ordered to
