He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitter*.

From a leading R.R. Official. Read Advt. The following is an extract from a pamphlet stated io be distributed gratuitously in large nambers about the northern frontier of the Chinese empire : The Europeans do not belong to the human race. They are offsprings of monkeys crossed with geese. Their interior is like that of apes, their habits like the devil's. Hence they are palled Yang-kwi-tye, or devils of Europe. This race of savages adores neither heaven nor earth, does not honor the spirits nor venerate ancestors. A very pnek of dogs and pigs, they talk ef nothing but equality, and have no idea of social hierachy. They distinguish not father and son, king and servant. Those famous English, in particular, what are they ? A little tribe cooped up in the corner of the sea, in a country as big as one's hand. Their king may be indifferently male or female ; the subjects arß hclf men, half animals.
