THE General Election of 1886 began on the. 1st of July and ended on the 27th. It took place under the Reform Acts of 1884 and 1885, which dealt with representation and re- distribution of seats, giving to householders and lodgers in counties the same franchises which were conferred upon the corresponding classes in boroughs by the Reform Act of 1867, and providing for a new division of the United Kingdom into county and borough constituencies. By the legislation o/18S4-S5 the number of members of the House of Commons was increased from 652 to 670, and of the IS new members thus created 6 were given to England and 12 to Scotland. In the following table we give a summary of the constitution of the House of Commons — HOUSE OF COMMONS. England & Wales. Members. Scotland. Members. Ireland.

Thousands of Testimonials from all Parts of the World. 83 Great Georges Street, Leeds, May 13, 1889. u I am a missionary, and go about a great deal. Some time ago a man asked me to be- come surety tor him to a chemist, at Darlington, for some of your ' Clarke's Blood Mix- ture.' He obtained what he wanted, and it completely cured him. He had blotches on his skin, was generally debilitated, and could not attend to his work. I saw him every day during the time he went through the course of your Mixture, and I never saw such a change in a man in my life. He was as clear and as ligbt as a feather, so to speak, in three weeks. 1 think I ought to let you know that ' Clarke's Blood Mixture,' and nothing else, cured him. You can make what use you like of this. Henry Welfare." 11 Wood Street, Kidderminster, April 13, 1889. " I write to tell you of the great benefit my boy, aged 17, has received from the use of vour Blood Mixture. Nine months ago he was taken with severe pains all over the body, and in a few weeks there, came dreadful eruptions all over the body, about the size of a shirt button, and of course he could not go to work in such a state. I took him to the Infirmary, and the doctor said his blood was in a fearful state, and he was in there nearly three months, and they could not do him a bit of good. And one day reading in the ' Kidder- minster Sun ' of your Blood Mixture, 1 got him out and got a small bottle to try it. After he had used one bottle he seemed so much better I got him another. He has now nsed five small bottles, and the eruptions are all gone, and everybody is astonished at the wonderful cure. Emma Tomlinson." 4 Pleasant Place, Bond Street, Vauxhall, London, S.W., March 16, 1889. " I have suffered from a virulent form of Eczema for the past fourteen months, and have been attended by different doctors during the whole of that time without any good result. I also attended a hospital for a time, but received very little benefit. About eight weeks ago, however, I was persuaded to try Clarke's Blood Mixture, the effect of which was truly marvellous. The unsightly and painful spots commenced at once to disappear. I cannot speak too highly of this medicine and its blood-cleansing properties. You may make what use you like of this letter, and I shall be happy to answer any questions on the subject at any time. Francis Hbmell." " Messrs The Midland Counties Drug Company, Lincoln."
