situation is less encouraging. A report is

LONDON. April pa correspondent at
St. Petersburg says the discussion relative
to the withdrawal from Constantiuople
continues in friendly spirit, as it concerns
technicalities requiring the advice of spe-

If fEDgland and Russia agree regarding the
withdrawal it will be necessary to obtain a
guarantee from the Porte that it will offer
no obstacle to the re-establishment of the
statu quo in the event of further negotia-
| tions.
Russia wi probably be somewhat ex-
acting on this point, as she is convinced
that 10 case of hostiities the Porte would
not side with her. 1t is quite possible
that this point will cause serious difficult

Messrs. Volts Bro, of this city and presents
ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES in the
annals OF medical history;
Mr. II. G. Farrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by a
sense OF gratefulness, submit the following an
instance OF the utility OF your great medicine. My
chlfd, tnree years old, was suddenly attacked with
q terrible disease, which IN less than six hours
prostrated It 10 utter helplessness. The limbs be-
came 80 rigid that not a joint could be bent; the
flesh turned blackand cold and entirely deprived
oi feellng; the eyes fixed, purtally closed and
altogether blind following this was deafness to all
sounds: the spine became contracted and curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels
only touched. Indeed, the child presented every
appearance OF being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician YVES called IN, and for
three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling but
all in vain, although it was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacient Liniments applied
consultation OF physicians was then held, but to
no purpose, the case 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 parents joy, when, after a few applica
tiops, returning animation apparent, and il
rapidly recovered with the exception OF the sight
which did not become perfect for near month
The child is now healthy and robust can be-
Five other cases of the same kind occurred pre-
viously in my neighborhood, all of which died
when there is no doubt If your lInimeEt had beer
used they would have recovered.

such bill is an unjust burden on the tax
