Mead-antd-alive Béel

One is ii6t accustomed to look tor hur bug in the London 7imes, and even of sensations that journal is remarkably shy. It has, however, given currency of late to a most sensational description taken from the Bisbane (Australia) Courier, for a process by which cattle, sheep, or live animals of any sort may have their animation suspended for weeks or months, to be restored again at the pleasure of their owner, say af- ter they have been shipped from Aus- tralia to Britain. Mr. James Grant, and Signor Rotura have been experi- menting in Sydney Harbor. The lat- ter averred that he had discovered a South American vegetable poison hay- ing power of suspending animation,and that the trance thus produced continu- ed till the application of another vege- table essence caused the blood to re- sume its circulation. By way ofa prac- tical test he injected two drops of this liquid, mixed with a little’ glycerine, into a sinall puncture made in the ear of Mr. Grant’s dog, and in three or four minutes the animal was perfectly rigid, the four legs stretched backward, eyes wide open, pupils very much dilated, and symptoms like those of death by strychnine, without struggle or pain. Signor Rotura lifted the dog carefully and placed him on a shelf in the cup- board till next day. The temperature of the dog’s body went gradually down 25 degrees that day, and next morning being put into a chilling chamber, was as cold as death itself. But Dr. Rotura got a tubof warm water and placed the dog in it for ten minutes, when another liquid was injected into a puncture made in the dog’s neck. The animal first showed the return of life in the eye, and after five and a half minutes he drew a long breath, and the rigidity left his limbs. Ina few minutes more he commenced gently wagging his tail, and then slowly got up, stretched him- self, and trotted off as though nothing had happened. Experiments were made on sheep and calves as well as other cattle which impressed the Australian newspaper named “ with a sense of the marvellous,” and no wonder. The writer proceeds to moralize over the revolution this must work in the cattle trade. “ Cargoes of live, but seeming- ly dead sheep can thus be sent to Eng- land by large steamers, a freezing at- mosphere being an essential. When the sheep are landed in England, any that fail to entirely raliy will be per- fectly good meat, whereas the others can be turned on to pasture or driven to market.

“Signor Roiura proceeds to South America at once for the two necessaries for the safe conduct of his process, and both these substances at present remain a secret.”

The Red River Valley.

This great valley of the North, 500 miles long, and 75 miles wide, is really the wheat country of North America. Such is the language used about it by a special correspondent, writing last week to the Chicago Tribune. It ex- tends from Lake Winnipeg to below Moorhead, Dakota, and 150 miles of it is in Manitoba, 1,329,000 acres of wheat land were taken up in that valley in 1877-8, says this authority, and 2,000,- 000 acres are said to have been taken up this year, while 6,000,000 bushels is the estimated wheat crop of the valley for 1879, the yield being 25 to 35 bush- els per acre. So rapidly are settlers filling up the country that itis seldom, in riding the first 300 miles, that you are out of sight of settlers’ huts. Be- yond that the praries are specked with emigrant-wagons. “I suppose ”’ says the -Tribune’s letter, “I saw teams breaking up the prairie as often as once ina mile curing the entire dis- tance. For about fifty miles beyond Glynden, where the St. Paul and Pa- cific Railroad crosses the Northern Pacific, the best wheat land has been taken; then for the next 100 miles about one acre in four is selected ; while Stor seventy. miles south of St. Vincent on the boundary between Min- nesota and Manitoba, the country is all a wild prairie. At the south end of the valley, and on the Northern Pacific R. R. lies the famous Dalrymple farm 55,555 acres oPrich, black, prairie soil.” On the Ked Rivey and Lake Winnipeg there are now no less than sixteen steamers, all of which seem,to be busily freighted with passongers and goods. the imperial organ of ft": -

The liver is

health and happiness of man. When ‘it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all iiuwmediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and siomach.

CATARRHE.

Constitutional Gatarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Out. :— ' Dear Srr—Itis now two years since your ““Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong te see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular 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 to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, lL secured three bottles. Before I had used a quacter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured 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 Gisease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly, '

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
