An Imperative Duty.

What greater duty is possible than the
care of our health? Until recently ii
has been impossible for persons living at
distance from large cities to obtain the
best medical advice without great ex-
pense. This is now obviated so that the
poorest persons, in any part of the land,
may consult the great medical authority
on nervous and chronic diseases, free of
charge, and without leaving their homes.
DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, the most successful specialist in
curing all nervous and chronic diseases
has lately adopted the plan of giving the
sick everywhere consultation and advice
by letter correspondence, free of charge.
Write him description of your COM
plant and he will return you an exact
explanation of your disease, with advice
as to its cure, entirely free of charge.
He gives most careful and explicit atten-
ton to all letters and will make your
case so plain to you that you cannot fail
to understand exactly what ails you.
DR.. Greene is the discoverer of that
wonderful cure, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. He uses moth
ing but harmless vegetable remedies in
his treatment. What sufferer can resist
such an opportunity as this to regain
health and strength? Write him about
your complaint and you will never re-
greet it.

W ltshlre and Oxforishil . the labCursl ,misled

ward to me. TO the effect thai tho Secretary
of this association be directed to request Lord
Salisbury to inform him what the false state
ments are which ara alleged to have been
made. and also by whom they were made"
Il should have thought that the first OF
theaA questions wss sufficiently answered by
the language Of the extract which has been
quoted. The false statemsnt' was that the
Tory Government intended to impose a duty
upon corn.
"The resolution further asks whom this false
statement was made. My answer is that il
was made, and made repeatedly, during the
canvas which preceded tie last General Elsc-
ton.
The resolution proceeds to a k by whom
the false statement was made. On this point
/ am unable to snlighten you. The authors
of slsotionsering statements of this character
generally prefer 70 WltnnoAu tnslF hanSs.
But l may indicate one out Of the many
forms in which this statement was made.
1t is Q card which was extensively circulated
in Mid xfordshilo, and Of which have q
copy before me-. At the top are represented a
large loaf and q small loaf. side by side. The
large loaf lie marked 'fourpsnce," the smAlG
