mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment
We can desire no better when in

up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that Green's August Flower,
will make them free from disease,
as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of

dies as Biliousuess, Indigestion, Sick

I see in your issue of the 14th inst.,
of tho crew of tho Hunter killing 32
geese at North Cove. I mysolf killed

as they raised I fired two more shots
with tho samo gun and got four more.
I use an 8-bore Lefevre, hammerless,

ought to have got more. But when
