CATARRE.
Ooustitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRHE,
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.
T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—
Dear Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced tome. I have waited this ong te see 60 |! the cure would remain permancii before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at ‘irst the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to be true.”
1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Cireular I saw my case described in many par ticulars, ‘The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled tosit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came te Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle | found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.
A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon way see proper Yours truly,

On entering the building, Here
reception room is found to the right.
‘there is a visitors book which already con
tains the names of a large number of the prominent citizens of Charlottetown, as well as those of many strangers, showing that considerable interest is manifested in this latest and most needful addition to the few charitable institutions in Char- lottetewn. Opposite this room isa male ward. It contains four iron bedsteads, each one having curtains so arranged that the patients can have complete privacy if tney aesire it. The farmala wards are situated on the second “flat of thy building. There are also several rooms for private patients who are able to pay for them. All of them were couwfertably heated and looked bright and cheerful, notwithstanding that all the the furniture and fittings are of the plain- est possible description. A pleasing air of neatness pervaded the whole building, and everything from the stoves to the white bed curtains were so scrupulously clean that it seemed almost like sacrilege to touch them. On the first floor there is a well fitted up dispensary presided over by one of the sisters. Here the wants of a large number ef out-door patients are attended to daily. They bring their prescriptions here to get them made up. Those who are too poor to pay the full price for their medi- cine, get it at greatly reduced rates, but by far the greater number who apply to the dis- pensary are unabie to pay anything atalland are given medicine gratis. On the third flat is situated the operating roem. At the time of our visit, there were three patients there. Onoof these was a little girl who had kad a very curious operation performed on her. She had lost nearly the entire left half of her nose from a cancer or some dis- ease of that nature. She was admitted to
the hospital, where a skilful opsration was sekSeed ned, which had the effect of remedy- ing the poor child’s hideous disfiguration. A flap of flesh was removed from her fore- head, and applied to the side of her nose, where it was held in place by carefully ar- ranged bandages, so that it grew to the nose in such a manner that no "defect was visible beyond a narrew sear where the edges of the two pieces of flesh meet. Even this will in a great measure disappear in the course of time. The scar on the child’s forehead is only a slight one, and disfigures her very little.
Since the hospital was opened, twelve patients have been admitted, four of whom hava been discharged. Nearly all of these 1 wasiaiita were poor people who were unable to contribute anything toward their main- tenance. The institution is supported en- tirely by voluntary contrioutions, the monsy to start it having been subscrib- ed by the efforts of the Bishop of Char- lottetown. Since that time a number of charitable ladies have organized coilecting committees and have collected a consider- able amount of money. The sisters inform- ed our reporter that they received a good many very welcome donations of meat and poultry, vegetables, eggs, butter, &c., from in the country. We had almost forgotten to state, that although the
j institution was established through the ex-
ertions of the Bishop of Charlottetown and is under the supervision of the Sisters of Charity. it is entirely unsectarian. Pa- tients of any denomination will be admit- ted, and every deference will be shown to their religious convictions. If they desire the attendance of a clergyman, any one asked for will be sent for.”
ST. ANN’S sCHOOL.
Tuts school is maintained by the ladies of the Convent de Notre Dame, for the
education of the children of the poer, ata cost of over $600 per annum. Nothing is paid by any of the pupils ; and the Govern- ment, of course, gives no grant. The school is divided into two large class rooms, each capable of holding sixty scholars. Mother St. Patricia and Mother St. Nerius are the
teachers. The course of study is spelling,
reading, writing, grammar, geography, his- tory, arithmetic, plain sewing and knitting, together with religions exercises. Over a hundred poor children arein attendance daily ; and the school is evidently doing a good work.

Bdieon’ s Latest Light Con- trivances.
Edison’s latest achievsinents in the elee- tric light department do not impress the scientists favorably. Here is fer example what Professor Morton, President of the Steven's Institute ef Technology, says about them in the ‘‘ Plumber and Sanitary En- gineer :”
‘* When I say that the achievemonts de- scribed by the ‘‘ Herald” of Sunday the 22ud constitute ‘a coaspicvrens failure.’ I do not of course mean that Mr. Edison: has not now as he had a year ago, a Jot of elec- tric lamps running at Menle Park ; but that his year’s work starting out with the most confident assertion of an accomplished suc- cess, only awaiting granting of patents to be made public, has ended in landing him in anold method repeatedly tried and aban- doned by others, and which this description furnishes no reason to believe has received any important improvement in Mr. Edison’s hands,”
Tn Paris, the Count Dumoncel, a high authority in electric science, declares Edi- son's new lamp an old ene, and he warns the French public net to accept the Menlo savant’s achievements as statements of facv.

The Freeman says it is stated that ** Messrs. McDonald & McGirr sent about a thousand head of cattle and three theus- and sheev to Great Britain during the past year, and that the trade was fairly remun- erative. The cattle, it is said, were chiefly taken trom this Province and Nova Scotia, the sheep from Prince Edward Island, Hitherto, all the beef raised in this Prov- ince are all that Nova Scotia couid spare was not snfficient to supply the New Bruns- wick markets.” ee Hon. Scott Lord, a prominent New York lawyer, was in England recently, and look- ed up the ‘‘ Hyde Estate” matter. The re- sult of his investigation is that the whole thing exists in imagination, and that there is no immense sum in the Bank of England awaiting division among the Hyde heirs, and if there is any real estate it cannot be inher‘ted by Americans, but he believes the real estate is as unsubstantial as the wealth in money.
