letter from Australia recently. 1t was dated

l arrived here after a very pleasant passage from
Frisco. l gained considerable flesh the boat,
which lost in week after my arrival here, owing
TO little indispostion natural a change OF elf
mate The doctors said l would be benefited by
this, and believe they spoke the truth. for never
felt better or stronger in my life than l do now
With light clothes or scale 1872 pounds, and am

The fall is now beginning snd the hottest day does
not bother me. To get away from the excitement,
spent almost week in the Blue Mountains where
the weather at present is like what get in the end
OF September-cear, cool and without rain. You
could scarcely believe me what q fine reception has
been gwen to me since my arrival have met the
finest men in the city.
From the manner in which have been treated
do not wonder some men lost their heads here.
Champagne flows like water, but 1 am a total alb
stalner, not having tasted anything since l left
Toronto. All the scullers here are dark horses.
There are four wOuld-be champlons-Mclean Mat
terson Kemp and Stansbury. The last named is be-
lleved to be the best man. but you get no in
formation as to how any one of them is going.
Matterson is very thin and l do not think he is
going as well in England. [This probably &C.
counts for his easy defeat by McLeau.l lie IS

Kemp about four weeks later, but is reducing SO

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. II is, there
fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make it the object OF their lives
to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies con-
eocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence OF the great majority
OF sufferers in all advertised remedies. They be-
come resigned to life of misery rather than torture
themselves with doubtful palliatives
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combated with all our might. In
many the disease has assumed dangerous symp-
toms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the
gans of hearing of seeing and of tasting affected
TO be useless, the uvula elongated, the throat
infamed and irritated, as to produce a constant
and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase OF
Catarrh, from simple head cold TO the most loatl-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and constE-
tutional. Instant in relieving, permanent curing.
