Dear Doctor-You did good turn for me once ;
you saved my life. To be sure you left me minus
leg in doing t-but life is sweet ever with but
one loot to hobble through the world with. 1t

pardon, | always forget myself when | get to
talking about these old times This is what
want to tell YOU One morning last week awokc
feeling very strange. For long time my liver
had been rebellious, but | had anticipated no
trouble But that morning | discovered that my
stomach had joined in the revolt, and II lively
skirmish was being carried on, that threatened
to end in q hard battle. The suddenness of the
revolt put the headquarters in Il confusion, and
all seemed hopeless till, suddenly, like one of
those flashing orders of Grant came the COM
mand-'Get DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
cry and Pleasant Purgatve Pellets" and a cou.
rier was immediately dispatched for them. Now,
what want to say is this, feel like volunteer
who has just received his commission, or, better
still, AS well rs Grant did when he held Lees
sword. And want to advise all who suffer from
arebellious liver and stomach to eight it out on
this line" and they will surely be victorious.

We have seldom seen finer goods in this line
than we saw yesterday at HULL & BAarELs. They
had just finished pair for Ottawa ladies, and in
style, richness of the fur and excellence of manu-
facture they were really superb. We foand they
had already made or are making these cloaks for
a number of our ladies who came to them after
repeated visits to the metropolis, finding that
Messrs HULL * BARTELs made better cloak at
cost of from 25 to 30 per cent cheaper than else
where. They are making them 80 inches in
length as rule-the popular size-but have made
them rs long as A. inches, the extreme length
worn. If our friends, contemplating the pur-
chasing of one OF these cloaks, will take the
pains to call on these gentlemen they will find
they defy competition from any house; they guar
antcc satisfaction and Il saving of from 20 to 80
per cent over metropolitan prices, All should,
at least, call and see these goods while yet they
remain in the store.
