This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a’radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be qitite s¢ rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. Read these testimonials : —
“‘ For two years IT suffered from a se- vere pain in my ve side, and had other troubles cansed by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s rare [ was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- sletely cured,’’—John W. Benson, 70

Last May a large carbuncle broke out on my @rm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bostles healed the sore. In all my expe- rieace with medicine, I never saw more
Wonderful Results. Anotliér marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight.”’— Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Spriugs, Texas.
“T had a dry scaly humor for years, ome tfared terribly ; and,as my broth- er sister were aeaieny afflicted, [ prestime the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fia.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I Lave n0t had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.’’ —T. Ee. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.
“Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured.” — Mrs. Augusta A.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Facts About the Strople Tragedy, Continued.
Sim,— ‘* Vidette,” it seems, is still bent upon screening, if possible, his political supporter who figured so conspicuously in the Strople tragedy, and in the last Patriot after prowling round Red Point and letting a characteristic howl out of him over some- thing your correspondent ‘‘ Fairplay” has said, returns to the attack upon the coro- ner who conducted the Strople inquests. He has, it is true, nothing new to say in the matter, and simply repeats the charges
was wrong to impannel a Conservative jury to try a political opponent, and that it was wrong also not to have had a post mortem on the body at the first inquest. I answered these charges to the satisfaction of all reasonable minds in my former letter. I may here add, however, for his edification that there was no political opponent on his trial. How could the coroner know on the morning of the inquest who was to blame for Strople’s tragic death? 1t was not known then, as it was proven afterwards in court by two respectable witnesses, that it was J. R. McLean who fired the shot im- mediately, ora minute or two before the deceased disappeared over the cliff. But the jury, ‘‘ Vidette” repeats was conser- vative, and hence the coroner was tu blame. He must have a very low regard for the sacredness of a juryman’s oath if he thinks any one on that jury would allow himself for one moment to be swayed by political motives. Who ever heard of a juryman in the Supreme Court being questioned as to his politics before entering the jury box ? Still, according to ‘** Vidette’s ideas of jus- tice, no Conservative is competent to sit in judgment ona Grit, and vice versa. On the same principle, or rather want of prin- ciple, judges who are known to have poli- tical leanings would be incompetent to try cases in the Supreme Court. Fortunately for the country, judges and juries are not as easily moved by political considerations as the Patriot writer would have people believe.
I may add further that Conservatives were present on the morning of Strople’s death, but not for the sake of the fees, as ** Vidette” meanly says. The jurymen at both inquests, to their credit be it said, generously donated their fees to the widow, who acknowledged the same with thanks, in a letter received by the Coroner a short time afterwards. 1 may say also in passing that the Coroner's pockets are not 4 ‘*doubtful source” of payment. The ‘*Coroner” pays his debts, both as a Coroner and as a private citizen, and his pockets, if the truth were known, are as flush as *‘ Vidette’s.” At least the ‘* Coro- ner” has never considered it necessary to make over his property to another party for safe keeping.
But what right has this fault-finder of the Patriot to shove himself so persistent- ly at this late date into the unfortunate Strople affair? Is he such a stickler for justice that he is acting solely in the in- terests of law and order ; is he prompted by purely humane and philanthropic motives ? I trow not. What is his record on these lines as a publicman? We all know that after poor Scott had been murdered by the notorious Louis Reil, this same ‘‘ Vidette ” voted to have Reil take aseat in Parlia- ment. And not only this, but a short time after, when the present Minister of Inland Revenue, the Hon. Mr. Costigan, sub- mitted a resolution in the House of Com-
was held on the body of the late Alex. Mc- Kenzie, of East Point, who died at Chep- stow. A certain physician (who was not Dr. Muttart in this case either) attended the dying man for several days. The man died, however, and was buried. A few days afterwards rumors were circulated that the man met his death by foul play. So much had been said concerning the affair that the Attorney-General then, as well as in the Strople case, deemed it nec- essary to make proper investigation in the interest of justice. The body of McKenzie, after a week’s interment, was exhumed, and a post mortem held on it. What was the result? According to the medical tes- timony adduced at the inquest the man died from exposure and heart disease ; yet in the face of allthis, two innocent and respectable young men were arrested and sent to jail! But as soon as the Attorney- General had opportunity of reading the evidence taken at the inquest he very pro- perly ordered their release. When all this humbug and injustice were being enacted, why did not ‘* Vidette” raise his voice then? It is too late now for him to assert his love of justice and impartiality in mat- ters of this kind. It makes all the differ- ence in the world with him ‘* whose ox is
gored.” Trurs. Souris, Nov. 16, 1888. Football. How conquered was,

Srr,—For some time the second team of St. Dunstan’s College (Excelsiors) compos- ed mainly of 200} lb. individuals, has been giving notice to the Prince Edwards, or junior Abegweits, that they were desirous to meet the Prince Edwards on the battle- field. A match was arranged for the 1Uth inst; but as the muck and slop rendered the ground altogether unfit for human creatures to rollon, the Prince Edwards politely declined to play, which, of course, rendered their opponents more desirous for the game, and caused a column of print to appear in Wednesday's Patriot. The game was therefore postponed. On Thurs- day, however, the Excelsiors, headed by their 200} lb. heroes, who waddled like ele- phants to the front, to bear down on the ranks of the enemy, had the misfortune to face their opponents, and the result was that the second team of St. Dunstan’s Col- lege placed their tails between their legs, skulked off the field, and made tracks for home, closely followed by their First Team; and I may safely say that no oysters were devoured and no toasts responded to with- in the classic walls of St. Dunstan’s, Thurs- day evening.
Towards the end of the game there was one incident which struck me forcibly. Two umpires had been selected, Mr. McDonald, by the Prince Edwards, and Mr. Burke, by the Excelsiors. A discussion aruse as to whether the Excelsiors had secured atouch- down, or the Prince Edwards a rouge, in which the captain of the St. Dunstan’s First Team, a person of infinite verbosity— standing high in favor—with himself—and like Waterloo Sedley, ‘‘ an old veteran,” took the most prominent part. In fact, the discussion was wholly confined to this First Team, for it is is a indisputable fact that so sure as you catch a gander by the tail, the whole flock, geese, goslins, one and all, have a fellow-feeling on the occasion, and begin to cackle and hiss, like so many devils bowitched. The following was the ruling of the Excelsiors’ umpire; ** You say the Prince Edwards made a rouge, I have as much right to say our boys made a touch-down, You stick up for yours, I'll
mons asking that his injured countryman, O’Donohue, a man who had committed no crime, should be and LePine who were granted an annesty by the McKenzie Government. ‘* Vidette’ voted against O’Donohue and for the guilty half-breeds. Does this look as though he is a lover of justice and fair play? And, again, further on, with the full knowledge of the enormity of the rebel half-breed’s crimes, he espoused the side of lawlessness and revenge by voting against the Government simply because they allowed the law to take its course in the case of Louis Riel. Does this, I ask again, look as if he were a lover of justice, ready to maintain at all times, regardless of party politics, the rights of our citizens and the laws of our country? Most em- phatically, no !
And in the part he is now playing in the Strople affair how does he demean himself ? ln his former letter he was unfair enough to assert that Strople was one of those who attacked McLean and Doyle. The asser- tion is false. Neither Strople nor McNeill was among those who attacked these men. At the time the assault was made, Strople and his friend were up the street and knew nothing of the affair until chased, with others of the crew, towards the cliff. And now that the man is dead, why should ** Vidette” seek tc blacken his character / The man is dead, and this should suffice his traducer. On the fatal night he was guilty neither of assault nor of riotous conduct, and even if he were (which I positively deny) his friends might well be spared the pain of now having his character im- pugned.
I may here remark that many inquests have been held in this part of the country at which no post mortem was deemed neces- sary. It is only a few years since this community was shocked at the conduct of the acting coroner who investigated the cause of a not very sudden death at Chep- stow. That coroner was not Dr. Muttart either. Does ‘‘ Vidette” remember how this inquest was conducted? He found no fault at that time, although he kuew very well that that proceeding was the most arbitrary and unjustifiable by facts that ever dis- graced the privileges of a Coroner. Were he then so critical of inquests as he is now, he might, perhaps, with some justice, have something to say about a desire for ‘*boodle,” which, whatever it means,
appears to be a familiar word with him this
included with Reil]l
stick up for mine.” Whena referee was chosen this decision was, of course, over- ruled.
I think a gentle reprimand by the heads of St. Dunstan’s College would not be out of place, and if, instead of displayingtheir fanaticism in the papers, they wouldattend more to their Shakespeare and their Horace, the institution would be more esteemed and respected,
Nort a Prince Epwarp. November 16, 1888,
A Doubtful Compliment.
Str,—In an editorial on Gla dstone, in the Weekly Patriot to hand, the writer thought proper to apply to the Grand Old Man, the lines from Dryden :
‘* A daring pilot in extremity,
Pleased with the danger when the waves
went high,
He sought the storms,” and observed that the poet referred to Lord Halifax. Now, every reader of Dryden ought to know that this statement is inaccurate. The lines occur in Dryden's political biblical allegory Absolom and Achitophel, and are not applied to Lord Halifax, but to the Earl of Shaftesbury, who is described under the name*of Achitophel.
Intended as a graceful allusion and com- plimevt to Gladstone, I think his admirers would not consider the quotation a happy one, aud applied tohim it can scarcely mean much,
Dryden was filled with no blind admiration for Shaftesbury, and to have a proper idea of the poets estimate of this states- man you cannot ruthlessly tear a few lines from their context. As a Gladston- ian, I should not desire to have the character that Dryden gives of Shaftesbury applied to Gladstone. The following is the © in which are to be found the lines quoted by the Patriot ;
“Of these the false Achitophel was first,
A name %to succeeding ages curst;
For close designs and crooked counsels fit,
Sagacious, bold and turbulent of wit—
Restless, unfixed in principles and place,
In power unpleased impatient of disgrace.
A fiery soul, which, working out its way,
Fretted the pigmy body to decay,
And o’er informed the tenement of clay.
A daring pilot in extremity,
Pleased with the danger when the waves
went high,
He sought the storms,Jbut for a calm unfit, —
Would steer too nigh the sands to boast his
wit.’ Yours, &c., GERALDINE.
