Collis Browne (late Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of CHLORODVNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Brunch.tis. Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is lhe only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation and Spasms. CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Toothache, Meningitis, &:, &c. From Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists Medical Hall, Simla, January 5th, .880: To J. T. Davenport, Esq., 33 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London, Dear Sir:—We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr. J. Collis Jrowne's Chlorodyne, has earned for itself, not only in Hindustan, but all over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to thc native bazaars, nnd judging from their silet we fancy their sojurn there will be but evanescent. Wc could multiply instances infinitum of thc extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhce, and 2nd Dysentery Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as t, general Sedative, that have occurred uncLr our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even if thc more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its controlling power. We have never used iny other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the pro] fession and the public, as we ore ofthe opinion tnat the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's, is A DELIBERATE BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. We are sir, faithfully yours, Symes & Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellancy the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION,—Vice-Cnancellor Sir \V. Page Wood stated that Dr. J, Collis Browne was, undoubtedly, the inventor of Chlorodyne; that the story of the defendant, Fret man, was deliberately untrue, which, ht regretted to say, had been sworn to —Se« "The Times," July 13, 1884.

Ciham.I W. Todd, a colored man who recently attempted to escape from the chain gang, was brought before the Court anil decided to b» tried under the Speedv Trials Act. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Todd laid he and Brown, who escaped, removed their shackles by means of files and a saw. He didn't know where the implements came from, but received a file from Brown. The saw was made from an old knife. The work of sawing and filing the rivets was partly done during the night, so that the finishing touches did not take long. Hie Lordship waa surprised at Todd's attempting to escape as he had beeu treated very well and kindly by the authorities. His Loulship had always been in favor of a partial remission of sentence if prisoners conducted themselves well, and after a long experience he was still of the tame opinion. As he did not consider Todd to have been the leader in the affair he would only sentence him tn two months' additional imprisonment. mrm Mklpaea em ■ Tag-tart Bros., painters, have left tbo city in a mysterious manner und with other people's property.
