5riJ2 LETTING.
On Thursday last, wo attended the let
ting 'at Berwick. A largo number of con
tractors were present, and all appeared very
anxious to procure work. A more gentle
mcnly, intelligent and business set of men
we have seldom met. We understood that
the biddings were almost innumerable not
withstanding the most of the work is to be
completed during the coming winter. Wo
were happy to see two of the Canal Com
missioners, Messrs. Packer and Ilubley,
present, which gave confidenre to the bid
ders that the work would be fairly allotted.

TO MOTHERS.
Messrs. E. Chase & Co. Gents. Hearing
much said about tho extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or .Persian J'ills, upon those about to
become mothers, wo were induced tomako a trial of
them. My wife wa3 at that tune tho mother of five
children, and had suffeicd the most tedious and ex
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found littlo or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement (her hcahh being ve
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in a
short time sho was enabled by their use to attend to
tho cares of a mother to hijr family until her con
finement. At tho time fabe commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks pi evious, f5ie
was alllicted with a dy hard cough, and frequent
6eveio cramps, which the use of the iJals entirely
removed before using half a bos. It is with the
greatest confidence that we advise all those about to
become mothers to make u.o of tlio Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in a few days. There does not
appear to bo half tho danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where these nits are taken.-

We arc truly thankful that there is a remedy which

otherwise bo lost.
