This was an action by the plaintiff company for an injunction to restrain the defendants from selling meat extract in wrappers similar to those used by the plaintiffs, and from passing off meat extract, sold by the defendants as meat extract sold by the plaintiffs. 'The defendant company was incorporated in April, 1895, and subsequently' acquired several businesses in and about Bradford, Yorkshire, including Goodall's Drug Stores and the Liebig There is certainly a very sharp contrast between these two statements. When we see a person who, because of illness, is unable to move a yard without help, we do not expect to meet him on the road and on foot miles from home, soon thereafter; if indeed we meet him at all. At least we should regard these extremes, considered as within the experience of the same man, and enclosed Within a, comparatively brief period of time, og something to wonder at and ask questions about. And people divt wonder at and inquire about it, Many said the circumstances recalled the age of miracles, supposed to have ed forever away. The facts (briefly set forth in a letter from the man himself) are as follows. We may add that Mr. Henry Jackson is a farmer, well known and respected in his district, and his case is familiar to neighbours and friends of his throughout the vicinity.

No local treatment had any effect upon it. It grew worse and worse, until I was no longer able to rise from my chair without assistance. In truth I bad no power over myself, and cetiid not move a yard without help.

All my friends think as I do—that under the circumstances. my recovery was nothing short of marvellous. You are at liberty to publish this statement, and refer any interested persons to me. (Signed) Henry j Jackson, Pewett Hill Farm, Culcheth, near Warrington, October 9th, 1895.
No words of ours can ada to the convincing force of Mr. Jackson's plain statement. His disease was originally and radically of the digestion. The attack was sharp and profound, and developed into the resulting conditions he so well describes. He may not have had Bright's disease, but that he was directly progressing towards that fatal malady there is no doubt. The effect of Mother Scigel's Syrup in his case only serves to show afresh its rare and remarkable power. Scarcely is so great a victory to be looked for from any medicine. Yet the facts are undeniable, Ve congratulate Mr. Jackson on his escape from a danger which was much more serious than even he probably imagined.
