obey decree of dissolution even if the
government ventured to take such a step.
The Standard says the correspondence
between London and st. Petersburg re-
spectlng the point raised by the British
government, has not yet terminated, and
we shall probably have to wait until the
opening of parliament before full ex-
planation is given of the subjects which have
been under discussion between the two
governments.

Mr.. Fl. G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by sense
OF gratefulness, l submit the following an in
stance OF the utility of your great medicine My
child, three years old was suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours
Frustrated it to total helplessness, The limbs be-
came So rigid that not a joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling the eyes fixed, partially closed and al
together blind, following this deafness to all
sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved
that when lying Ofts back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed, the chlld presented every ap-
pearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician called in, and for
three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling, but
all in vain, athouA h it was bstered dozen times
and various rubefacient Liniments applied. con-
sultation of physicians then held, but to no
purpose, the was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We then
commenced applying your Liniment freely over the
entire length OF the spine, and you may imagine a
parents joy, when, after a few applications, re-
turning animation apparent and it rapidly re-
covered with the exception of the sight. which did
not become perfect for near month. The child is
now healthy and robust can tie. Five other
cases of the same kind occurred previously in my
neighboorhood, all of which died. when there is no
doubt if your Liniment had been used they would
