OF this knowledge is of the utmost inn
portance to mankind; hence we hop,

ANXIOUS to have it known. Our con.
hdence is shown in the inflexiblc zeal
with which we have written and sent
hundreds Of letters and postal cards
to editors, scientists aud others. for
four years, notifying them Of said ter.

that you hold your judgment in abey-
