In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie myself and wares are well-known Many Ame-ican 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 makeß it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. 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 sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydook's New Livee 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.

PUBLIC NOTICES { WALKER'S BOT-FLY BEMEDY. Oherteey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine, Agent for Walko.'a Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburtcn Sib, — I consider it my duty to add my testimony to ibe marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He pot so bad th->t I had to lay him up. No ma* ter what. I gavo bim he kept losing condition and beoame co weak that he oould scarcely 6'nnd. I carefuly followed the direc- tions on tho bottle, and shortly after gett- ing the last, bottle he paßsed bote, and at once bepan to mend, and m a few days was fit fcr bi* work. lam confident only for tho remedy be would have died. I can highly reoommend it, believing it haß no equal. — William Stbingfellow. Lauriston, August 18, 1894 Mr Henolttno, — Sir, I think it is only right tbat I -hould tell you and my neighboring J farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied wiih 1 Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you. i After seeing the Btate of the stomaoh of my horce that died, I beoame alarmed about the rest of my stook as tbey all looked bad, I drenohed eight, following carefully the direc- tions, It oleaned them out thoroughly and m a few daya thera was a wonderful change for the better I can highly reoommend it and would advise farmers to loee no time m drenching their stock leßt they have their horseß dropping dead as I had, I believe it to be tbe only safe and certain oure for the suffering of horses James Lemon Aahburton Forks, Maroh 1, 1894 Mr J Heseltine. Sir— l am very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a suooess with my dying'horse. He was ailing for some days, his ooat got very dry, the Bkin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad congh ; and was soaroely able to walk about; we quite expected he -would die. I heard a good d6al about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the moßt satisfactory results, and shortly after be getc t the last bottle he began to im- prove and by the end of a week was able fo ' work hearty and well I believe it to be a medioine unequalled, and oan reoommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, aB the beßt horse remedy m the market. Edwabd Cobbbii Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,— l am glad to bear testi. mony to the wonderful effeots of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies. One of my best horsea be- oame very bad ; the skin tight, the eye life- leas and a bad oolor, and got low m oondition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddook I did not want to lay him up until be became un- able to lift hia feet or do auy more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, acd tne treatment you pre- scribed, and m a few days he waa quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well j I qnite believe, had I not given him your ! Remedieß, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robbbt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 | Mr Walker. Dear Sir, — I have great pleasure ; m informing you that the bot-fly mixture I i got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, was a I wonderful suooesß, I had four horses 1 Berioualy ill on Deoember last. After using all the remedies I oould think of I wbb induced to try your mixture. The result was mar- vellous, I striotly followed the directions given and m a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more m February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now m prime orde



WHAT BATIB WABC-BB XO KIOW. « -7 • I shall be obliged if you oan an.wer me ' one queßtion," said my friend Batee, as he lay on the couoh one day m my room, nurs- ing his aching leg. * Why does exposure to wet or oold bring on an attaok of rheumatism at one time, when a like exposure for a soore of times leads to no suoh result ? * Before I set down m writing the answer I gave him I wish you would read the following letters, as no doubt the authors of them will I be interested m tbe same point. 'In November, 1892,' aavs the one, ' I bad ' an attaok of rbeumatio fever, and was oou- firted to rhy bed for four weeks, during wbioh time I suffered fearfully. I had awful pains all over me ; my joints swelled, and I was so helpless I could not raise my hand to my mouth. After the fever left me I was extremely weak, and so emaciated I was little more than Bkin and bone. A large lump, the size of an egg, formed on my elbow, and. my fingers were almost drawn out of joint. I cannot desoribe the Buffering I had id bear. The doo or ordered me various medicines, and ood liver oil, but tbey hid no effeot. Iv February, 1893, I read m a small book about the remarkable Buooess whioh had followed the u.e of Moiher Seigel's Syrup m oases of rheumatism, and got a bottle from Mes.rs Levcrett and Pry, High street. After taking it two weeks I was better, and m about a month more all rbeu- matio pains hsd left me, and I was strong and well as ever. .You may publish whst I have said. (Signed) Jobn H Eant. 9. Randall street, Maidstone. Eent, January 30' b, 1895.' « For many yeare,' cays the other, ' I had been subject to liver complaint and indigestion. I was habitually heavy, weak, and weary. My appetite waß poor, and all focd gave me pain and fulness at the chest: and nround the Bides. I hsd so much pain and tightness of the ohest tbat I oou'd not enduro the p-essure of my clothing upon it. Although noo laid up, I waß seldom free from pain or a sense of discomfort. In the summer of 1893 I begin to .offer rheum atiem, whioh affected my arms and shoulders until I had not tho power to Hfs my hand to my head. I tried nil sorts of linirmn'.B, em'>ro6fttion_, and rubbing oils, but got no benefit from any of them . • In August, 1893, my friend, Mrs Owen, told me how muob good Mother Seigel's Sy;up had done her for rheumatism, and I got a bottle from the Drug Stores m St. Ann's Road. In a few dayß I was much better, and m less than a month afterwards all pun had left me ; and I am happy to cay I bave never had any return of the rheumatism sinoe, but have co joyed the best of health m every respeot. In common thankfulness for my speedy and wonderful deliverauoe, I williDgly oonsent to tbe publication of this hurried statement should you wish to make that use of it. (S'gned) (Mrs) L. S. Oo!e, 6, Albert Boad, South Tottenham, London, August 6th, 1895.' Before answering the question of my friend Bates (who was a chronic rheumatic) I asked him: 'Why does a lighted match, dropped into the road, die ont harmlessly, but when dropped into a hayrick, Bet up a oooflagration •Any fool oan answer that he said,' * Beoause m the one oase there is nothing for the fire to catch hold of, while m the other here ia.' • Exactly ' I responded. Now see. Indi- gestion and liver oomplaint ((he second con* sequent on the firs') continue to produce a virulent poison m tbe blood called urio acid, praotically insoluble m water. Tbia acid, whioh ia a solid, entera the tissues, and Beta going a hot inflammatory fire. That is rheu matism. It does what a aliver would— only the aoid is spo'eon' sliver . i\ - When the indigestion and the liver trouble aie not very bad, and the kidneys and sweat glands of the skin are aoting fairly well, thia acid ia oarried out of the body about aB fast ac it is for mad. Exposure then brings on no rheumatism. Bat, per oontra, when the stomaoh and livor are m bad oondiiion, the acid forms faster than tbe* kidneys and sain oan carry it off. Then expose yourself, get oold or wet, hamper the skin and kidneys e'ill more, and the poison acid spreads through your mueoles and joints like tbe fire m tbe dry hay. You .understand? V_ry*.well. The longer tbe cause persists the more fre- quent the rhepmatio attacks, That is w.';y chronio dyspeptics are apt also to/be chronio rheumatics, fend off dyspepsia, or cure it by the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and you acd the rheumatism will have no Healings.
