Read opinions of Government Inspectors of Stock. Blenheim, Maelbobough. In re your remedy lot Foot-Rot I have no hesitation m BBying it is the most effective, I have met, and has been used m the district under my charge with the best results. I have recommended and shall oontinue to recommend it to any owners of theep' affeoted with Foot-Rot, a diseaee whioh I regret to Bay ia so often negleotnd until it takes euoh a strong hold on the flock that it can no longer be ignored, when it might have been easily put down at Hb first appearance by a little attention and the use of your remedy, JOHN MOOBE, Inspeotor of Stock February 28, 1895. ' Department op Agriculture, Haweba. In reply to your request as to my reporting to you my opinion of the result of your dreeßing Bheep at Mr Lysaght's an Me Nioholaa' with your Foot-Rot Specific, 1 have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfect one, although the weather was very wet and stormy, and the examination waa only Biz days Bf ter the feet had been dressed. Some of the shoep were very badly affected, nearly the whole of the foot having rotted off. I should recommend all sheep owners to use your Specifio if their Bheep are troubled with Foot-rot, aa it is easily put on, and I am sure it will . give satisfaction. — I remain, yours truly ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspector of Stock.

OINE WORD. TOOME to you with a small affair that yon may need. In England, the Continent,* and many foreign countrie Ik myself and wares are well known Many American 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, do not think it will be misplaced. J make the best form of cure— an absolute one — for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it self, and yet its comfort to you iB so great — twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes — that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with V sngar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydook's New Livke Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price _. is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents.
