Letter From the Ex-Sheriff of Chau-

tauqua County, New York. Mayville, N. Y., Dec. 2, 1885. I am glad to say, from a long persona experience with Allcock’s Porous Plasters, that I am able to endorse all the good things that have ever been said about them, and supplement these by saying that I frankly believe their value cannot be' estimated. Their breadth of usefulness is unlimited, and for prompt and sure relief to almost every ache and pain that flesh is heir to, no other remedy, in my opinion, either external or internal, equals them in certainty and rapidity. I have used them at one time for rheumatism, another for backache, again for bronchitis, always with the same result—a speedy cure.

Amsterdam claims to have become account of the fine quality of the Sumatra tobacco which is brought there. American cigar manufacturers are said to be specially eager to get this tobacco. Sumatra sent to Holland in 1887 138,000 bales, worth about $13,000,000, of which $5,800,000 worth was purchased by American buyers. The Dutch tobacco companies make enormous profits, the dhriduds of the Dell Company having been 109 per cent, and those of the Arendsburg Company 209 per cent, in a recent year.
