H. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT


Mr.. H. G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by sense
OF gratefulness, submit the following in
stance OF the utility of your great medicine. My
child, three years old, was suddenly attacked with
q terrible disease, which in less than six hours
prostrated it to total helplessness, The limbs be-
came so rigid that not jOinteould be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling; the eyes fixed, partially closed and al
together blind, following this was deafness to all
sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed, the child presented every ap
pearance of being dead. Immediately the at
tack, the family physician was called in and for
three weeks he labOred to restore it to feeling but
all in vain, aLhouA h it was blstered dozen times
and various rubefacient Liniments applied. A con-
sultation of physicians was then held, but to no
purpose. the case 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 LinimeDt freely over the
entire length of the spine, and you may imagine q
parents joy, when, after few applications, re-
turning animation was 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 be. 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
have recovered. HENRY &. CLELAND,

FOREIGN NEWS.
WAR NEWS.

VIENNA, Jan. 9.-The deposition of
Suleiman Pasha from supreme command
of the army of Roumelia and the appoint
ment OF Reouf Pasha, faithful follower
of Mahmoud Damad, was in itself sign
that the Sultan's brother in-law, Mahmoud
Damad, has again prevailed, and the news
to-day confirmed it. All remains as be-
fore. Neither the resignation OF Mahmoud
Damad nor of Edham Pasha, Grand Vizer,
has been accepted. The desire of the
chamber of deputies that the war council
should be done away with is to be fulfilled
and military commander with full power,
is to be appointed, but as he is the same
man who as minister of war presided over
the council. and as he is in the hands of
Mahmoud Damad, the state @! things is
not materially changed. The only question
now is how far the chamber will be salts
fed with this arrangement

A special from Pera states that Me-

the Porte has agreed to propose a six
weeks armistice on condition that the bel

and peace negotiations commence as soon
as the armistice comes into operation.
The fact that Russia has reiterated her
declaration that the armistice is to be set
tied bV the commanders of the forces in
the field and not by plenipotentiaries, shows
that Russia has not acquiesced in the com
promise proposed by England, that the
powers Of commanders should be limited to
military details, while the main stipulatiOns
should be settled by special plenipoten-
tiaries. 1t is not known in St, Petersburg
whether. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian
