MMer the above head br«a» tb« w, c, t. u editor claim* bo ptrt or credit for the Wv5fi Dead from Drink. Ott th« morning of the 9th of May a lying in the hallway of house in the city, a man, .Honk McCosh, dead from drink, lie was at one time the trusted confiden­ tial associate of A. T. Stewart, and high­ ly esteemed as one of the most compe­ tent bttatoees men in the city. In his pe­ riod of prosperity he became a moderate drinker, the drink habit increased its hold upon him, his occasional sprees be­ came more frequent and prolonged, he failed in business, was provided for in an auspicious situation with a business friend, but he yielded again and more and more to drink, and finally, pennilesp, and living upon the bounty of others, he died a physical and moral wreck. He was, it is said, related to ex-President McCosh, of Princeton. He furnishes another painful object-lesson for young men, and for all, and his experience should be an impressive warning to all to avoid indulgence, even "moderate" in strong drink.--National Temperance Ad­ vocate, New York. .

I tried different, reme- dif® without getting relief. Providen­ tially for me a friend placed in my hands a sample bottle of Caldwell's Syrup Pep­ sin. A trial told me that I bad found just what I needed. After taking it two or three weeks I was a new man, and I cannot say too much for Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
