In answer to Mr R. E. Blade, h 6 said he had only instanced Marlborough and Canterbury beoausa they had more experience of the question there.

Wicked For Clergymen'.—"l believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen, or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really mentor ious article is made up of common, valuable remedies known to all, and that all physicians use and trust it daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend Hop Bitters for the good they have done mo and my friends, firmly believing that they havo no equal for family use.
