Tbe reverend gentleman was a very good swimmer, and very fond of taking long swims, On one occasion he crossed the loch at Dunvegan, leaving his clothes, of course^ on the side he started from, After he got across he went on shore, and quite forgot he had come from tbe opposite side. A fisherman observing him going up and down tbe beach, went and asked him what was wrong, and what he w«s looking for, • Oh,' said the minister, • I cant find my clothes.' ' Bid you not swim across the loch, sir f said the man. •Oh ! yes, bo I did,' waa the reply j and, re-entering the water, he pro ceeded to swim back to where he hud left his garments The same gentleman got married, and on his return after the happy event, pnfe up with his bride at an hotel in Portree The following day they were to drive home, aed a friend met a conveyance some distance out of Portree the next day. but the minister was alone.

Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many yeaia from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had triei almost every known one but yours, and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and you may depend I was). He added,' Will yon take some medicine if I procure it I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man—thanks to your great discover y. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success wish it that) such a medicine merits. Yon can make what use you like of l his. —I remain yours, etc, J H Pauling, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletoii.ee ■ Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9 232
