"Dear Sir,—I am a poor hand at expressing my feelings on paper, but I should like to thanic you, for your lozenges have done wonders for me in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy ' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive and getting on well) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital for abduct, or paralysis of the vocal chords, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough ; indeed, it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus also, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. ' I am, sir, yours truly, " Mr. T. Keating. "J. HILL."

Use ENO'S "FRUIT SALT." It is Pleasant, Cooling, Health-giving, Refresh­ ing and Invigorating. Tou cannot overstate its great value in keeping the Blood pure and free from Disease. EVERY TRA YELLING TRUNK d HOUSEHOLD OUGHT to CONTAIN a BOTTLE of ENO'S "FRUIT SALT.5 ) "It is not too mnch to say that its merits have been published, tested, and approved literally from pole to pole, and that its cosmopolitan popularity to-day presents one of the most signal illustrations of commercial enterprise to be found in our trading records."—European Mail. O ALL LEAVING HOME FOB A CHANGE.—Don't go without a bottle of ENO'S T "FEUIT SALT." It prevents any over-acid state of the blood. It should he kept in every bedroom, in readiness for auy emergency. Be careful to avoid rash acidulated salines, and use ENO'S "FEUIT SALT " to prevent the bile becoming too thick and (impure) producing a gummy, viscous, clammy stickiness or adhesiveness in the mucous membrane of the intestinal canal, frequently the pivot of diarrhoea and disease. ENO'S " FEUIT SALT " prevents and removes diarrhoea in the early stages. Without such a simple precaution the jeopardy of lite is immensely increased. There is no doubt that where it has been taken in the earliest stages of a disease it has in many instances prevented what would otherwise have been a severe illness. EADACHE AND DISOBDERED STOMACH.—" After suffering two and a half years H from a severe headache and disordered stomach, and after trying almost everything without any benefit, I was recommended to try ENO'S ' FEUIT SALT," and before I had finished one bottle I found it doing me a great deal of good, and am restored to my usual health. And others I know that have tried it have not enjoyed such good health for years. " Tours most truly, EOEKKT HimrHRETa, Post Ofiice, Barrasford."

AN AMBER GOD­ DESS ! " No, old boy ! The whole thing is a bore ! I am tired of New York ! " cried Ralph Burnham, carefully selecting a cigar from the box of Excepcionales. In a cosey private room of the Brunswick, two men, old college chums, were seated at a table covered with the debris of a bachelor dinner. It was the genial summer time of 1889.
