[rn pbsm association.] Tiwnrtmw. Wzluhoxon, To-day. The fire Insurance-rates being considered excessive, a deputation waited on the Underwriters’ Association, submitting ' 'certain proposals for reducing the rates. ;Tho Chairman of the Association su'. • quently wrote offering ten per jcent. discount on block rates. This, as being exclusive and not'enough besides, was regarded as unsatisfactory, and at a meeting of. twenty of the principal insurers it eras resolved to form a Fire Insurance Protection Society, with the declared object aa well as to ensure to insurers a substantial redaction on the fire rates now charged; Suicide. John Webber, a laboring man, aged 68 years, committed soicide by poisoning at . two o’clock this morning. He is supposed to have been drinking heavily and took r ■ strychnine.

In three years two million four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free »f charge by Druggists in the United States of America to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the afflicted undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has becii that Druggists in every town and village in civilised countries are recommending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist and ask what they know about it. Sample Bottles 6d. Regular size 3s. 6d. Three doses will relieve any case.— [Advt.] Holloway’s Pills. —Health or Wealth.— No sane person would hesitate an instant in the choice between, these two conditions. Now is the season to secure the former either by restoring or confirming it. These Pills expel all impurities from the system which fogs, foul vapours, and variable temperatures ingender during winter ; this medicine also acts most wholesomely upon the skin by disgorging the liver of its accumulated bile, ?nd by exciting the kidneys to more energilic action; ncreases the appetite for food and strengthens the digestive process. The stomach and liver, which most disorders originate, are fully under the control of these regenerative Pills, which act very kindly yet most efficiently on the teadercst bowels. —[Advt.] The Bad and Worthless arc never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it,is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in t very way trying to induce suflering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “Hop ” or “Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies’or cures, no- matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the-word “Hop” or “Hofs ” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
