No words of mine c*n half express the confidence I have in them, nor convey aay idea of the great value and comfort they have been to me and many ether mothers to whum I have recommended them." VALUABLE DISCOVERY FOB THE HATE.—If your hair is turning grey or white, or tallin* off, use Mexican Hair Renewer." for it will positively restore in every case Grey or White hair to its original col our without leaving the disagreeable smell of most Re storers."

MR FAREWELL ADDRESS TO His CONSTITUENTS.—Tne following address to the electors o' tne county of Buckingham has been issued by the Prime Minister consequent upon hi- elevation to the Peerage: Gentle:;eu,-Tlle Queen having been graciously pleased to summon me to the House of Peers, 1 return to you the trust which, for so inanv years, you have confided to me as your member in the House of Commons: an assembly in which I have passed the greater part of my life. It has been a period of trv niji occasions and memorable events. and if I have been permitted to take some part in their management and control, next to the favour of our Sovereign. I am deeply conscious I am indebted for that opportunity to the fidelity of your feeling lhroughout my public life I have aimed at two chief results. Not insensible to the pri ciple of progress I have endeavoured to reconcile change with that respect for tradition which is one of the main elements of our social strength and, in external affairs, I have endeavoured to deveUp and strengthen our Empire believing that combustion ot achievement and respon- sibility elevates the character and condition of a people. It is not without emotion that I terminate a connection endeared to me by many memories and many ties, but I have the consolation of recollection that, though I cease to be a member, I shall still nave the happiness of living amone you and that, though not directly your representative, I may yet, in another House of Parliament, have the privilege of guarding over your interest and your honour.—Your deeply obliged and ever faithful servant. B. DISRAELI." Epps's COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING — "By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutri- tion, and by a careful application of the fine pro- perties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us manv heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use ot such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to dis- ease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a W; point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keen mg ourselves well for'ified with pure blood and a properly nourished fra me." -Civtl Service Gazetu CJ.3 TIT 1') I I
