E. T. Miller, of Cross PUins.Wi.., hv* r i pressed the opinion, for obstinate MM of ivplulu and s.-mfula, Ayer's Sar- aipnrill.i is unquestionably tile most ef- fvlive remedy known to pharmacy. Wonderful cures have resulted frum its use. The only variation in Duality which will t-UT b found in ''Myttlo Navy" t<>- KUVM is in the dogrees of in >isture which it contains. Tounc.:u in a very ready ab eorbciit of moisture, and in uiijsual stales of th* weather it may Wcome a lit- tle too uioi.it or a little too dry to suit the but of 111:110. This i< a minor in tt tor, ho.v.'vi'r as tlio essentul quality of the tobacco i- not changed. In comliua t 'on it a little slower or faster accord iug to the degree) of moisture, that is all.

He is Modest. A letter elsewhere in this iaaue [nun the pen of Mr. S. Damude with regard to at. item of news which appeared in last week's paper n something uf a sur pr>ae to us. We cannot conceive what i>rc und for grievance lay in the item re firrrd to. The fact waa maj known t us that this extra grant of one IiunJrec dollars had boon made to luiin^ socinties of tlio Ontario Government, ami as live publishers we of course- nave it currency And by the way The Advance was tin only newspapor in this province which an nouncfd it last week. Mr. Damudi. appoan to think we were premature, hut subsequent events hare continued the news, and instead of being ungrateful Mr. Damude ahould thank us for beini; tint to announce the good newt. We distinctly said last week that thia result had Ix-cn obtained by "efforts put forth by the officers of the various association* in t!n province.'' That was not exulting >lr.
