Office of The Ecening Tribune. Evansville, Ind., July 26, 18S7. ƒ Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Gentlemen: It is no doubt a pleasure to all manufaeturers to be reminded of the popularity of their goods- especially in fardistantlocahties vvhere tney may not even know of shipments seiug made. Not a great while since, the writer made an extended journey over Central America. In going from the Sula Vallev, Honduras, toward the capital city, Tegucigalpa, we stopped, toward noon, at a little hacienda about 160 miles from the coast. Here we encountered a number of pack mules, laden with wares destined for Tegucigalpa. In examining these wares we were sotnewhat surprised to iinrt that one of the mules was loaded down with boxes bearing the familiar brand of-'J. C. Ayer"&Co., Lowell, Mass." It was like meetingan old acquaintance to encounter such merchandise in that remóte, quarter. The boxes were strapped upon the back of the mule by a net work of strong strands of native Vita, forming a package a's large as the little beast which bore it. In this way, nowever, these medicines had been transported over the dangerous passes of the Cordilleras for over 160 miles and were yet destined for a point further anead. This was cercainly a tribute to the virtues of your medicines, and is rendered still more emphatic when it is known that the almost impenetrable jungles and wild and interminable ranges of inountains of Honduras preclude the passage of any and every Kind of vehicle, requiring all transpor-atioii upon the backs of men or mules. Yours truly, A. J. MILLE H.
