patches. about Aug 10th, to have died in
Chicago after two weeks use of some
reputed remedy for corpulency, had not
taken Allan's Anti-Fat, but had used a
preparation put up by regular physician
in Luzerne, Pa, Allan's Anti-Fat is man
ufaetured in Buffalo, n Y by the under
signed. We have already sold over l00,-
600 bottles of it. It has therefore been
taken by thousands. and we challenge
proof that it has ever harmed any body
unless the reduction of obese persons from

strong, is considered a misfortune, Fur
thermore, we hereby offer $1,000 reward

poisopous or injurious ingredients. W.
also offer $1,000 If we cannot prove that i
has reduced numbers of persons as statet

ENGLAND.

LoNDEN, Aug. 28.--The Mark Lane
Express says the weather has been dull
the past week. Rain fell every day.
Much delay was consequently experienced
in harvest operations. In the earlier dis
trict of the home counties the land has
been pretty well cleaned of cereals, but in
some fields the crops are still standing,
while in the north large proportion Of
barley is still uncut. In the south O..
England the barley crop appears TO be,
to great extent. failure. In the mid
land counties, where more favorable hopes
are expressed, the prospects have changed
decidedly for the worse. Scotch agricul-
tural advices. on the whole, are favorable,
both as regards wheat and barley, but as
the weather has been broken and shower.
y, severe anxiety is felt. Besides the in
terruption to field labor, the recent heavy
rain almost put stop to thrashiug, and
farmers marketed very little wheat al
Mark Lane or the provincial markets
Should wet weather pravail during the re-
remainder of the harvest, il is more than
likely substantial enhancement of values
will take place, especially now that the
Frenc crop is seriously deficient and the
marvellous yield of spring wheat in Amer
lea is more than doubtful. <# -
