Il sustalns ils Reputation.

For nearly a quarter of q century
it has been acknowledged that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy has no equal
in speedily and permanently curing
"cold in the head" aud all catarrhal
affections of The nasal cavities. Its
immense sale and great popularity
are dependent upon and entirely due
to its merits and superiority over all
of the similar preparations. Very
many physicians, having thoroughly
tested it, are now prescribing it in
their practice.
Halbmton, Ont, jan. LAT, 1878.
DR.. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
DEAR SIR-For years / suffered
with chronic catarrh. Last winter
it became moro severe, seriously af-
fecting my throat and lungs. My
stomach and blood were also sadly
out of order. tried many physi-
clans and several advertised reme-
dies, obtaining but temporary or no
relief. My general health became
worse, 50 that l despaired of life.
Seeing favorable notices of your med
icines, l procured-half dozen bottles
of the Golden Medical discovery and
a supply of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem.
edy, The Discovery purified my
blood and restored my gcneralhealth,
the Catarrh Remedy gave immediate
relief, and after u little perseverance,
Il radical cure was effected.
Thankfully yours,
ROBERT Mccormick.

Tn US began chronicler of the olden

returned with his cargo of fish from the
Georges Banks, where he deserted crew
of his own townsmen who were on anoth-
er vessel that was disabled during gale,
and neither they nor their vessel were
ever after heard from. The conduct of
Evan O'Neil towards the crew of the
stranded Huron" has some points of
resemblance to that of Ireson. He how

like bird of prey he is. till be saw her
surely aground on lee shore; with the
shrieks of the drowning men ringing in

after returning from fishing; he waited
several hours till he felt assured that no
efforts at rescue could operate to his
detriment by saving from death those
that would otherwise be thrown up by
the sea for him to plumber. before giving
the alarm; and it was after he had eat
en- comfortable breakfast. that he ap-
peared at the scene of the wreck with
his hands in his pockets as if it were a
matter in which he had no lot or part.
Lieut.. Walton says in his report that
had O'Neil sailed to the nearest life saw

that on the 80 or SO bodies recovered
! not one article of value remained; that

who live in huts along the coast.
