The Globe‘s Ottawa correspondent says:â€"The case of the Opposition against the YÂ¥ukon Railway has been abandoned, except as to the land grant of 25,000 acres per mile, which is held to be excessive. In view of this an interesting calculation has been made as to the meaning of the offer of a British syndicate, made through J. Wesley Allison, of Montreal, to build a railway from Skagway to Lake Benâ€" nett and thence to Dawson. The land grant asked in this case was 24 miles equare for each ten miles, Thi; is understaod to mean a square extending 24 miles each way. Un this basis, for 150 miles of railway, this would mean a land grant of 8,640 square miles, as compared with 5,857, the number of square miles given the McKenzieâ€" Mann syndicate. In other words, the Government have secured the conâ€" sbruction of the road for about twoâ€" thirds the land grant asked byi the syndicate represented by Mr, All n.

Finally, when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. _ A thirty years‘ test of Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Disâ€" covery has demonstrated that it cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out. ‘The "Golden Medical Discovery‘‘ not only braces up the stomach, but acts dirqctly on the lungs, healing them and driving out all impurities.

"I had a very bad cough, also nightâ€"sweats, and was almost in my grave with consumption,‘" writes Mrs. Clara A. Mclutyre, Box 171, Ashâ€" land, Middlesex Co., Mass. ‘"A friend of mine who had died with consumption came to me in a dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, I did so. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I felt much better. I kept on until I had taken three bottles. ‘That was all I needed. I got well and strong again." Whenever constipation is one of the comâ€" plicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce‘s Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take their place. They never gripe. Mar. Stg â€"Farm St ck ard implements of Geo. B. Schmitt, Township of Woolâ€" wich, 2 miles east of Heidelberg.
