With the growing taste of the last 25 years for the formation of collectioris of bric-a-brac, considerable interest has been attracted to the study of naval and military decorations, and medals, which were often consigned to the melting pot after the death of the recipient, are now carefully treasured and preserved. Need less to say, a collection of war medals, issued from the beginning of the pineteenth century down to the present day, formis an exceedingly interesting recard of the historical angagements

TO THE OWNERS OF DOMESTIC BUILDINGS.
The folfaction of war medals is necessarily an expensive hobby, and to get together a re- presentative series requires a long purit add considerable energy. Many specimens are rare and difficult to obtain. The prices paid in 10- cent years have been subject to wide fluctua. lions, and it may be of interest to give some rough idea of the approximate values placed by collectors on the rarer specimens, though it should be noted that prices ruling at the pre- sent mbment are 'considerably less than they were two years ago, death having removed some of the keenest collectors of medals,,
Prior to the battle of Waterloo, the officers in command were rewarded with gold medals, and several of these sold by public auction have realized large sums, these gold medals TAKE NOTICE that under No. 5 of the and crosses selling for amounts varying from

This effective remedy in palatable as boney and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod liyers, combined with the Compound Syrup af Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. It quickly eradicates the poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other, toxic matters from the system; regulates and promotes the normal action of the organs, gives vigorous appetite and digestion, and is infallible in Prostration-following Fevers, Anentia, Scrofula, Induenza, Wasting Diseases, Throat and Lung Troubles, dic.

It cannot disappoint you and is effective from the first dose. Sold by chemists everywhere,
