W® publish elsewhere a card from Mf. John Kizer, our popular and efficient Sheriff, in which ha withdraws his name from the list of candidates for the office of County Treasurer.

Believing that the qualities that he has displayed in Jbis official career would be of great service to the county in anothor position of honor and trust, many of hiB political aud personal friends desired to support himas a candidate for Treasurer. These will sincerely regret his withdrawal but will appreciate the manliness and candor with which he has taken this step.

Ib the Editor of the Evening Telegraph: DIAB SIa,—For

five or six years

have

been afflicted with dyspepsia in its most severe form. I

have been treated for it

by some of the most able 'physicians in Montreal. From time to time I

placed

myself under their treatment, and after using an enormous quantity of medicine, felt myself only growing worse. My disease increased, appetite failed, was troubled with a sensation of pain, weight and fullnesa at the epigrastrium, costivenesB became depressing, my spirits grew low, causing great dejection.

you may be in the flrat stage

-r,^ Mmember you are approaching the last

if you are bordering upon the last, and suffering some or all its ill effects, remember if you obstinately persist in procrastination, the time must come when the most skillful physician can render you no assistance, when the door of hope will be closed against you when no ange^ of mercy can bring you.relief. In no cose han tbe Doctor failed of success. Then let not despair work itself upon your imagination, but avail yourself of the beneficial results of his treatment before your case is beyond the reach of medical skill, or before grim death hurries you to a premature grave.

lny in hopeless condition, given up by many as beyond the reach of medical aid, have, by your kind attention foe ten weeks, been saved, and

Thore are many meo who die of thisjdifficultj, ignorant of the cause.

Dr. S. will guarantee a perfect cure in all «uch cases.
