JAMES HAIR, District Secretary H ZANDER, L oal Broker Ashburbon CXNHS WORD, ~~ TOOME to you with a small affair that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countries myself and wares are well known. Many Amencan families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced,



I make the best form of cure—an absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can be found in this year. The cure ia so small in it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes—that it has heoome a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, in the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Db Haydock's New Lives Pill. It is old in the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at 3 25. cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try before you purchase.

Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in eansecjuence has had another attack. llt came upon me again very acute and severe, 1 he said. 'My joints swelled and became inflamed ; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent requesb of my mother-in law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to re duce the swelling, and case the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both.
