I have prescribed in cases of incipient consump tion, severe colds, general debility, bronchial troubles i and tne line, your original compounu or coil A.iver Oil and Lime more freely, doubtless, than any other unprofessional person. Knowing your pecnliar and careful mode of preparation, and its scientific basis, lead me tirst to test it years ago, and I can frankly say that it has again and again, under my own observation, not only alleviated the symptoms spoken of in chrortic and trying cases, but has, as I am sat'atied, preserved life itself in many instances, conducting the alrnost hopeless invalid hack to health and strength. Your preparation of the Oil contains not only the soothing and nourishing principle accorded to it bvall the physicians, but also that more subtle and necessary restorative for aiding in the reformation of the wasted properties consumed by disease, especially, as it regards the cells of the lungs, whereby only perfect health can lie restored.

The general confidence exhibited by the Vledical Faculty in your well-known reparation ensures it the vast popularity it enjoys, but tve sent you this unsolicited testimony as a grateful tribute to he merit of so valuable a panacea. M. AL Ballou. The winter and spring of the year are the periods in New England when VVilbor's Cod Liver Oil and Lime are most in demand, because it is then that coughs and colds, the early stages of consumption, most prevail in this climate. Such seeds of danger are easily removed if treated by this simple but efficacious remedy promptly and without delay.

Having been appointed by the Boston Machine Company sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for the sale of the "Coffin Valve," for the United States.

I would call your attention to the following advantages claimed for it: 1. A straight open passage-way the full size of the pipe. 2. The valve is doable-faced, therefore has two chances to be tight, to one of any single-faced valve. J.

The valve is made of two disks, so connected to each other as to allow the valve faces to adjust themselves to the valve seat, as is not the case with the common wedge valve. 4. The valve seats are not parallel, but divergent and permit the valve to be wedge-shaped, thereby pro-l viiiing for any wear in the valve, or any lost motion in any of its connections. 5. The valve being wedge-shaped, and sears diver-l gent, and the valve being held firmly by guides in a.

central position between tbe valve seats, when the valve is drawn back from its seat, the valve is not sub-i jeet to the wear which any parallel-faced valve is' from dragging the valve face upon its seat in opening, and therefore much less liable to leak. 6. This valve can be made as tapering as is necessary to perfectly prevent the valve from sticking to its seat; therefore it always starts easily. ts tie valve oetng tapering or wede-fiiaped, and worked either by a screw or lever, it is easy to force It firmly to its seat, and, as is not the case with single- faced valves, it always has the pressure of steam or water upon one side or tlie other to force it to its seat. 8.

The greatest care is takeh in the manufacture of these valves in the selection of metals no o'd or "scrap" metal being used, and also in workmanship the parts being made uniform and interchangeable. The thread on pipe should be cnt- a proper length, so that the valve seats will not be in jmetlby the piffe entering too far. DANIEL LEE, CO and 58 Friend Street, Boston. SorTH BOSTOH, Aug. 25, 1910.

Mr. Daniel lee. Dear Sir You have asked our opinion of the "Coffin Patent Valves which we have used ia our Refinery i the past year.

The severe storm of Saturday has subsided, but there is still an occasional snow squall, and a raw atmosphere remains.

Late accounts from the scene of the lix Island tragedy show that the account sent yesterday was substantially correct, so far as the details of the affair were concerned.

After the murderer committed the deed he went to his room. An excited crowd soon collected, but did not dare to go to the chamber, as Little was armed and forbade them to approach. Tliey parleyed with liim nearly two hours, during which they heard him fire several shots, when he finally threw clown his pistol and gave himself up. He was found in the bed, covered with blood, with two pistol-shot wounds in his neck and face, one in the left side, and several wounds indicted with a pocket-knife in the abdomen. None of these wounds, prove mortal, it is thought.

It is now stated that the murder was not the result jealousy, as stated yesterday, but grew out of suspicions of attempts by some of the workmen, who were his fellow-towsmen, to alienate the members of his family from hiin by means of their letters home. He appears to have had no particular quarrel with young White on this account. Little and White boarded at the house of one Dolan, and roomed together in a room containing three beds, and occupied also by four oihers. Utile was brought here and lodged at the police headquarters, and will be indicted at the Supreme Judicial Court next week, if he survives, "i oung White's body has also been brought here to await the order of his friends. Little expresses no contrition for his shocking crime.

Later. It seems evident that the shot fired by Little, after locking himself in his room, were for the purpose of committing su ieide. Two shots were fired into his neck near the jugular vein, and one into his left side, near his heart. He is still alive, and Dr. Banks, who attended him, says he will probably re-coyer.

He gives no particular reason for his cowardly act in shooting White, who was a young man about eighteen years old, and who leaves a widowed mother and younger brothers and sisters, who were dependent on him for support. His body was sent to his home Quincy, to-day. Little was arrested bv Deputy Sheriff Torry, of Rockland, and brought off on a bed Saturday night. White was a groat favorite anion" the workmen of the island, and it was with ditticulty that some of them were kept from lynching Little. Little is a morose-appearing man.

This was the most closely contested town election held in this town for years. Some time ago Hon. Henry If. Faxon offered to give the town $5000 if a board of teni)erance town officers should bo elected. This stimulated the friends of reform, and on Saturday night a citizens' caucus was held to nominate a ticket, both parties joining in it, about eight hundred being present.

The ticket nominated was headed "Regular Citizens' Ticket," and, together with twelve oi? tif teen others, was plentifully distrib- among vorers. The intention as to set aside the old Board of Selectmen and some other officers, many of hom had become rixtxires, and, as some alleged, very ioor ones. The ballotting began about nine o'clock, Hon. John Quincy Adams being chosen moderator bv a unanimous vote. From that hour until about "rive v.

To attempt to com pi ess all that one knows of a country in which one has passed six eventful years into a lecturo lasting ninety minutes, a ranter contusing mixture ol uesciiiitions oi mat Jiers, and customs, of personal reminiscences, of law, religion and morality, but, when the country is Siam and the speaker is Airs.

Leonowens, those who hear her do not eri! icise but listen with pleas ure which increases with each revelation that sho makes of that country, as strange to most of us as to the gentleman who said that his whole knowledge of isiam wasnncluded tlie two words Maniese twins. The new lecturer makes no pretensions to oratory, her manner nemg better snitoii to tue urawing-room than to the platform, her style of speaking purely conversational, and her voice, except when she is much affected, high pitched, and hardly strong enough to fill a largo hall. However, all defects of voice or manner are forgotten in the charm of her story before she has talked ten minutes, and her audience sit as attentive as children who hear a now fairytale. In April, 162. the King Snnidetch-Pbra Paramendr Malm Mongkut determined that, his children and wives should learn English, and selected Mrs.

Leonowens, who had some knowledge of Oriental languages, 'to till the place of governess, and soon after she arrived at Bangkok, the Venice of the East, with its seores of bridges, and Us inner "City of Veiled Women," closed to all but the King and the priests who perform the morning service, with its female guards, soldiers, police, and artificers. Her duty was to teach among these women, but other more arduous tasks were sometimes im-iiosed upon her. Once the king requested her to select twenty young Siamese women, array them in European clothing, teach them European manners, atid have them readv to receive Lord John Hay with a bow when he should enter the schoolroom, aud then gracefully retire backwards from his presence; and when the' Englishman stxnl before them, they covered their faces tirst with their hands aud then with their skirts and fled shrieking.
