About 500 old casss not reported before were
this week added to the list, heroe the great
increase. There can be no mistake as to the
number of deaths, but it is generally believed
that not more than half the number of cases
are reported to the Board of Health, some per-
sons going so far as to estimate the number of
cases, up to date, at 25 900.

SPECIAL NT1cES.

The following is from the principal accountant Of
tne wealthy and highly respectable house OF
Messrs y otis % Bro, of this city, and presents
ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES in the
annals of medical history;
Mr.. II. q. Farrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by a
sense OF gratefuness, submit the following as an
instance OF the utility Of your great medicine. My
chlo, tnree years old, was suddenly attacked with
q terrible disease, which IN less than six hours
proetrated It TO utter heplessness. The limbs be-
came so rigid that not joint could be bent; the
hesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling; the eyes fixed, purtially 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 called IN, and for
three weeks he laOored to restore to feeling but
ell in vain, although ii was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacient Lniments appJied
A 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 few applica-
t1ons, returning animation was apparent, and it
rapidly recovered with the exception OF the sight
which did not become perfect for near month
The child is now healthy and robust as can be,
Five other cases of the same kind occurred pre-
Yiously in my neighborhood, all of which died
when there is no doubt il your lInimeLt had been
used they would have recovered.

LONDON, April 25.-Negotiations re-

of the British feet and Russian troops
from near Constantinople, have as yet led
to no result. and it is considered very un-
fortunate that Bismarck and Gortschakoff
have fallen i'll at this critical juncture; in
the uncertainty of the issue of the pour
parlers, the Russians are doing their best
to strengthen their position. and advices
from various sides concur that there are
considerable movements of troops towards
Constantinople as we'll as Gallipoli. Ac
cording to letter in the Vienna Politischs
corresponding from Tchaldia. about thirty
miles northwest from. Constantinople, two
thousand sappers and eight thousand in-
fantry are at work there turning and com
