Newmarket, England.

A writer describing Newmarket fifty years ago, says: “Its stable trade is blood horses; its inhabitants for the most part jockeys and gamblers; its language that of Tattersalls; its business an endless succession of matches on the race-course, in the cock-pit, the tennis-court, on the billiard-table, or the card-table. About 300 horses are trained every year. From $2,000 to SIO,OOO is common price. Now and again $20,000 is given. Nearly every one in the town bets more or less. Even the children learn to lisp the pedigree of horses, the long odds and the merits of jockeys.” It is much the same to-day. Mr. R. V. Murphy, of 4 r almouth, Ky., wr.tea: “I would sooner do without my tobacco than dispense w.th Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. Myself, wife and little ones use it for colds, coughs, headaches, indigestion, etc. Whenever we don’t just feel well, we use it, and it always does good. ” '
