The Nature, Progress, and True Treatment of this Scourge of England. The following Cases are selected from the FOURTEENTH SERIES. DISEASED LUNGS "RAISED FROM A MERE SHADOW." The patient whose case is here appended was over three years under my treatment in the whole, and the correspondence amounted to nearly fifty letters. When first writing me, his condition was considered hopeless if treated by the usual means. Both lungs were reported diseased. There were all the symptoms of consumption in aggravated form. It was not long after commencing my treatment that he writes that his doctor, after a careful examination, reported :-"The disease has been certainly arrested, and there is no active progress now." Slowly and steadily he improved; and, to use the patient's own words, "he was raised from a mere shadow to new life." I have just received a letter, dated April 18, 1885, in which he says:-I am pleased to say I am better in health than I have been for years. When I consider the hopeless condition I was in, I must express my gratitude to you. I should have been in my grave but for the blessing of God on your treatment. You are at liberty to make what use you like of my name and testimonial for the good of others.-JOHN TUNSTALL, 89, Coventry Street, KIDDERMINSTER." CONSUMPTION.-LINGERING CASE OF A YOUNG WOMAN AT VENTNOR. Mr. A. Rodyk, of Lansdowne Road, TUNBRIDGE WELLS, writes me (March 16, 1885), respecting this case, as follows: "You will be pleased to hear that your medicine and liniment have been the means, by the blessing of God, of restoring to health a young woman, residing at Ventnor, who had been a sufferer for twelve years. My sister and I have known her for ten years. She had then been admitted into the hospital for Diseases of the Chest, and after three months had to leave as incurable. "Since we became acquainted with the efficacy of your medicine and liniment she has been supplied with both, and has taken the one and used the other since September last. From that time she began to mend. In December she wrote to my sister that she was free from cough, night sweats, expectoration mixed with blood; in fact, from every symptom of the disease, and that she was quite strong, and wonderfully well. This being a remarkable case, and of so long standing, I thought you would be glad to hear of its happy results." CASE IN THE SHETLAND ISLES, N.B.* WILLIAM SMITH, JUN., of GREIVE'S HOUSE, SAND LODGE, SANDWICH, SHETLAND, writing me for books for several new patients on March 23, 1885, reports concerning himself: "I am very thankful to say I am quite well now. Your treatment entirely cured me On referring to the record of this case, I find that he commenced with my medicine, &c., in the May twelve-month before. He had then been five months ill. Symptoms: Cough (very bad at night), with expectoration, soreness of the chest, breathing very short., pains in both lungs, appetite gone, general weakness, loss of flesh, &c. "I saw," he says, "a recommendation of your treatment in the Christian Age" *There is scarcely any part of the British Empire, however remote, but where I have correspondents.

"The chorus of approval which greeted Mr. Jones' previous Studies in Matthew and the Acts,' which we reviewed with unqualified admiration some time ago, has created a standard of criticism for this new venture altogether out of the range of that by which ordinary sermons are to be judged. Mr. Jones stepped at once into the front rank of pulpit expositors, and we have seen no reason for rescinding our former judgment in classing him with Robertson and Bushnell, and, in some respects, even above them. In expounding certain portions of this matchless Gospel, Mr. Jones is even more at home than when discussing the questions raised in Matthew or the Acts. The profound metaphysics and theology of the Prologue have a peculiar charm for him, and it is easy to see that it has been a labour of love to make them clear to the humblest mind "-Methodist Recorder.

We never remember to have met with so much culture, freshness, power, pathos, and fire in so small a space. It is a book to be read and re-read, with new instruction and stimulus on each perusal. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Jones is fully equal to Robertson at his best, and not seldom superior to him in intellectual grasp, depth of thought, clearness of exposition, pointedness of appeal, and fidelity to evangelical truth. The style, which is severely logical, reminds us in its beauty of Ruskin. These are models of what pulpit discourses ought to be. We shall look for more from the same able pen."-Methodist Recorder, M INISTERS WORKERS TOGETHER WITH GOD, and other Sermons. By F. W. BOURNE.
