Mr. IIiciiakd Birks, the well-known Druggist, 207 Mctiill st., Montreal, I Q., says: I liavo sold Ayer's Family Medicines for 40 years, and have heard nothing but good said of them. I know of many Wonderful Cures performed by Ayer's Sarttaparilla, ono in particular being that of a little daughter of a Church of England minis ter. Tlio child was literally covered from head to foot with a red and ex ceedingly troublesomo rash, from which she had suffered for two or three years, in spite of the best medical treatment available. Her father was in great distress about the case, and, at my recommendation, at last began to ad minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot ties of which effected a complete cure, much to her relief and her father's delight. I am sure, were ho here to-day, he would testify in the strongest terms as to the merits of Ibe training of tbe others and I hey were stuck at U 150 lbs, wbleb they nulled only Ave fret, woera tbe requirement was six.

Here tbey met one Robinson and bis son, living on tbe Houghton farm In Put ney, but fomierly of Barre, and arranged to take part of tbe teams to tbe Houghton farm. and Ilaire and young Koolnson and another young man named MeNiugbton started wltb them In the night ami drove to Putney, where Halre staid four or live days, when be went to Bollows Falls, and staid a few days and from there to Canada. James Klnlry the defendant was at work for Robinson and Halre and he and Robinson talked the matter over and concluded to change tbe title of tbe team, and Hilre gave Klnlry a bill of sale of tbe whole for tbe exoressed value of $.500.
