I have reoommended »nd shall- continue to recommend it to any owners of cheep affected with Foot-Rot, a disease which I regret to cay is' so often neglected until, it takes, each a strong hold on the flock that it oan no longer be ignored, when it might have been easily put down at its first appearance by a little attention and the use of your remedy.

In reply to your requeßt bb to my reporting to you my opinion of tbe result of your dreesing sheep at Mr Lypaght'a an Mr Nicholas' with your Foot-Rot Speoifio, 1 have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfect one, although the weather was very wet and Btormy.' and the examination was only cix days after the feet had been dressed. Some of the shoep were very badly affeoted, nearly the whole of the foot baviDg rot-, ed off.

A. Lawrie, SAUNDERS' BUILDING THE MISTAKE OF A M.H.R. MR TANNER, M.H.R., spoke elo- quently m Parliament recently on Pomahaka oats, school books, and the prico of Tea. On the last-named subject he said : — "It was all very well for Ministers and Jionorable Members to claim before the general public the credit of having reduce! the duty on tea ad per. Ib, He questioned, whether any fatnlly was ad better off" in consequence of. -what they did last year." While admitting that Mr Tanner may be an authority on oats and school primers, his sweeping assertion regarding Tea is contrary, to fact. Ib is admitted that m the matter of blended teas it was m, some cases alleged that no alterations would be made m price, but the difference would be given m quality. That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter thoroughly, he would have found that SURA- TURATEA was immediately loimrcd m price to the public by the avtount of the duty, and the quality of it being so firmly established, no doubt entered anyone's mind but thab the reduction m. price was a genuine one, and that the quality remains the same. SuraturaTea is guaranteed NOT blended with Indian or China Ten. JOHN ORR & Co., Agents. OJNE WORD, — — :o:— — TOOME to you with a small affair I that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign cotmtrie 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 yon may not be one of these Confidence between man and man is alow 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 m this year. The cure is so small m it- self; and yet its comfort to you is 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 sngar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Db Hatdook's New Liveh 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.
