THE MOST WONDERFUL MEDICINE…
WORLD CURE IN FOUR WEEKS.—THE GUTTLE VITJ2, or VEGE- TABLE LIFE DROPS, Protected by Royal Letters Patent Sanctioned by the Faculte de France; ifc, have in numberless instances proved their superiority over every other advertised remedy for langour, lassitude, d. pression of spirits, irritability, excitement, fear, distaste and incapacity for society, study or business, indigestion, pains and palpitations in the side, giddi- ness. noise in the head, &c. This medicine strengthens the vitality of the whole system, gives energy to the muscles, speedily removes nervousness, renovates the impaired powers of life, and invigorates the most shattered constitution. For skin eruptions, sore throat, pains in the bones, and those diseases in which mer- cury, sarsaparilla, &c, are too often einployed to the utter ruin of health, its su' prising efficacacy has only to be tested. Before wasting valuable time in seeking aid from instruments, electricity, galvanism, with similar absurdities, professing to set aside medicines, by American impostors and others, whose boasted distingui-hed qualifications' consist solely of their con- summate impudence, sufferers will do well to make fair trial of a remedy which, concocted on scientific principles, cannot fail. Price is 6d and lis., or four times the latter at 33s per bottle, through all chemists, or direct from 25, Bedford Place, WHERE THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS MAY BE SEEN. THE THREE DAYS' CURE.-NEW FRENCH REMEDY TIIERAPION, as uniformly adopted in the French hospitals and by the notabilities of the French faculty in a remarkably short time, often two or three days only, without the slightest discomfort, inconvenience, or risk removes all discharges from the mucous membrane, whether of the urinary or other organs. It combines a 1 the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed. Devoid of all unpleasant taste and smell.

THE COMPOUND RENAL PILLS correct acidity of the stomach, and indigestion, promote the functions of the liver and kidneys, thereby preventing stone in the bladder and kidneys, with many other serious disorders to which these important organs are subject. Listlessness, weakness, peevishness, and complaints long supposed to be nervous, often arise solely from contamination of the ttlood with certain impurities which should have been carried off by the kidneys several unsightly ernp- tions of ihe skin and face also arise from the same cause, and may be as readily removed by these Pills, which in nineteen cases out of twenty cure" ith a rapidity almost marvellous.

THE SUFFERER'S BEST FRIEND. 1C HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. All Disorders affecting the Liver, Stomach, and Bowels. These Pills can be confidently recommended as the most simple and certain remedy for indigestion, flatulency, acidity, heart- burn, colic, constipation, and all the manv maladies resulting from disordered stomach or bowels. In a disease it is of primary importance to set the stomach right. These Pills are purifiers, alteratives, and strengtheners of the stomach. They may be taken under any circumstances. Though powerfully tonic, and satisfactorily ape dent, they are mild in their operation, and beneficial to the whole system. ,Weakness and Debility I Nervous Irritability. The wholesome effect exercise I bv these admirable Pills over the blood and fluids generally is like a charm in dispelling low spirits, and restoring cheerfuln JSS. Their general aperient qualities well fit them for a domet tic medicine, particularly for females of all ages and periods of life. They never betray any disagreeable irritating qualities; they quickly eject all impu- rities from the system, and regulate every function of the body, giving wonderful tone and energy to weak and debilitated per- sons, while they brace and strengthen the nervous system in a most extraordinary manner. Old Coughs, Colds, and Asthmatical Affections. These Pills, assisted in their action by rubbing Ilolloway's Ointment very effectually twice a day upon the throat and chest, and keeping those parts covered with the preparation, will be found the most effective remedy for asthma, coughs, colds, bronchitis, and influenza. These remedies tranquilize the hur- ried breathing, soothe the Irritated air-tubes, and assist in dis- lodging the phlegm which stops up the air-passages. This treatment has proved wonderfully efficient in not only curing old settled coughs and colds, but asthma of many years standing", and even when patients who were in so bad a state as not able to lie down on their beds lest they be choked by phlegm.

A Quaker once bearing a person tell how much he had felt for another who was in distress and needed assistance, dryly asked him Friend, hast thou felt in thy pocket for him ?' Mike, why don't you fire at those ducks ? Don't YOU see you have the whole flock before your gun ? I knjw I have, but when I get a good aim at one, two or three others will swim right in betwixt it and me.' A reverend Scotsman was going to hold forth to an open air meeting. He sat down on a bank in which there was an ant's nest: the insects soon found their way into his Oh no, we never mention 'ems,' and he said: 'Bretheren, though I hope I have the word of God in my mouth, I think the Jeil has got into my breeks.' In the bull-fighting days, a blacksmith, who was rearing a bull pup, induced his old father to go on all fours and imitate the bull. The canine pupil pinned the old man by the nose. The son, disregarding the pater- nal roaring, exclaitntd, Hold him Growler! boy, hold him Bear it father, bear it; it'll be the making of the pup?' A Cockney who was proceeding down the High Street, at Gravesend, in hot haste, in order to get on board the boat which be saw from the distance was at the pier, arrived there just in time to be too late-in other words, just as the boat had unshipped her fastening?, and put off. I Ab, Jemmy,' said a friend of his who had watched his movements you did not run fast enough.' Yes, I did,' said Jemmy, I ran fast enough, but I did not start soon enough.' An Irishman had been sick for a long time, and while in this state would occasionally cease breathing, with life apparently extinct f r some time, when he would again come to. On one of these occasion?, when he had just awakened from his sleep, Patrick asked him :An' how'll we know, Jemmy when you're dead you're after wakin' up ev'ry time ?'—' Bring me a glass o' grog, an' say to me, Here's to ye, Jemmy, an if I don't rise up an' dhrink, then bury me GUlLS, BKWAltE !-Girls beware of transient young men. Never suffer the address of a stranger. Recol- lect, that one good farmer's boy or industrious mechanic is worth all the floating fops in the world. The allurements of a dandy Jack, with a g Id chain round his neck, a walk- ing stick in his paw, a three-halfpenny cigar in his mcuth, some honest tailor's coat on his back, and a brainless though fancy skull, never can make up the loss of a good father's home, a good mother's counsel, and the society of brothers and sisters their affection lasts while that of such a young man is lost in the wane of a honeymoon 'Tis true. THE MEDICAL PHOFF.SSI.JN IN VIRGINIA.—The fol- lowing is extracted from a letter received from a physi- cian in Norfolk, Virginia, by a Confederate cfficer now in London I am now a gen'leman of elegant leisure, not being allowed to practice my profession upon innocent women and children without swearing true allegiance to the Yankee government. While you are abroad, do go to the Feejee and Sandwich Islands, and let me know if there is anything like this there.' Our correspondent adds. —' The people are dying in numbers from want of medi- cal attendance.' HYDROPHOBIA. — The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed a circular to all the prefects, re- questing them to furnish the Committe of Pulic Salubrity with every information necessary for the general inquiry into canine madness, which has been going on since 1859. The veterinary schools are also directed to draw up sta- tistical accounts of all the cases which come under their notice, with every particular connected with them. The circular moreover proposes to establish in each depart- ment a special infirmary, where animals which have been bitten can be confined and the ^effects of the bite closely watched. PROGNOSTICS OF THE WEATIlEH.- 01rl experience lays down sundry wise saws. W hen the took larger than usual, it is a sign of change of w.^ii L r. Very bright or double rainbows indicate long-continued rain; the same when the rain smokes as it falls on the ground. Lightning in winter is a sign of coming snow, wind, or tempest. Bats flying about in unusual numbers announce that the next day will be warm and fine. Flies bite sharper and tease you more before a tempest. When the gnats dance in the setting sun-shine, some holds it a sign of fine weather to-morrow, while sceptics declare that it is only a sign of fine weather to-day. If it rains on the 3rd of May, there will be no walnuts if on the 15th of June, no grapes. Plenty of snow precedes an abundant year; plenty of rain, the contrary. A rainy autumn spoils the rain of that year, and threatens a poor crop of wheat next year. A fine autumn is mostly fol lowed by a windy winter a wet spring and summer by a fine autumn. On the other hand, when the autumn is fine the following spring is apt to be rainy.-From London Society, for October. ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS.—November is the least wel- come month of the year. It is stated that more suicides are committed about this time than at any other period. We are well aware, if the weather be damp and foggy, that a listless and languid state is produced; whilst during dry weather, however cold it may be, there is a feeling of lightheadedness and cheerfulness pervading the whole system. In the first instance, the atmosphere is robbing us of our electricity, which it greatly absorbs in the latter case the dryness of the air is such that it leaves us in possession of the electricity that seams to belong to us; hence the buoyancy of spirits on the cold and frosty days of December and January, and the despondency experi- enced in November. To such influences are attributed the elasticity, life, and animation of the Frenchman the sluggish heavy movement of the Dutchman and the comparatively variable feelings of the Englishman—one day full of hope and cheerfulness, and the next day at war with himself and all the rest of mankind. In order to prevent the absorption by the air of the electricity of the body, an eminent medical man, several years ago, suggested the use of silk next the skin in such weather as most frequently occurs in November, for we know (he says) that if a silk handkerchief be perfectly dry, lightening the most accumulated cannot pas.. through hence, if worn n«t the skin, the air cannot rob the body of its electricity.—Toller's Almanack for 1864. CKICKET.—The game of cricket is emphatically an English amusement, and is practised more universally than any other sport. It is the first important game the the school boy thinks it worth while to excel in; and from the peer to the peasant, in city and in village, it is alike the favourite recreation. Nut long since, an eleven from the House ofLords challenged an equal cumber of the Lower House to meet them on the cricket-field and but very recently the All England .Eleven travelled to the Antipodes by invitation, and gave our colonial brethren a lesson in the art of ball-play that did credit to the old country. Some very curious mate-hps have been played at this game. On the 23rd of May. -623, eleven married played eleven single women, atLrockwell-cum-Wiltone, the players were dreased in jackets and trousers deco- rated with ribbons, on which occasion the married women were victorious. On the 4th of August following, a similar match was played in Kent, when the spinsters won by twenty runs. At Parsons Green near London, in 1835, the single women again beat the married women by seven runs. One of the most singular matches is that actually played at Kennington Oval, London, between eleven men with one arm each and eleven men with one wooden leg each. Considerable attention has recently been attracted to the game, on account of the revision of the laws by the Marylebone and other clubs.—Toiler's Almanack for 1864* j, {
