Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journies or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronica IDisorders, this Medicine has not its parallel.

FIRE AND HURRICANE. IRON THE HALIFAX FREE PRESS OP OCTOBER 18. DREADFUL FIRE AT MIRAMICHI. FULLER rAILTICULA Rt. It seems that the woods in that part of the country had been for some time on fire, but without exciting any apprehension of the catastrophe which was about to involve in ruin a large proportion of the population of the province. On the 7th inst. the flames acquired an ascendancy which rendered flight in some instances impracticable, and resistance unavailing. The alarming progress of this destructive element had been concealed by the state o the atmosphere which it occasioned, until the night of that day, when, aided by a hurricane which increased its violence and rapidity, it burst with uncontroulable fury upon the heads of its devoted victims. All the accounts that have been received describe the rapidity of the flames to have been such as to preclude the possibility of saving property to any extent. In most cases, the un suspecting beings,suddenly aroused from their slumber s, were unable to dress themselves, and immediate de structlon was the cotrequence of a moment's delay. —ln that part of Miramichi called Newcastle, out of 250 Louses, but 14 escaped ; and indeed the circum stance of any property being saved is considered as a miraculous interference. Were. we to give vent to the feelings that actuate us upon this occasion, we might depict a scene at which the heart of the ino)t indifferent would sicken; and even then we probably should fall short in description of the sad reality. It cannot be possible to conceive the picture which the devoted country that has been the scene of this visitation now presents. An event so replete with horror is probably of rare occunence, and the tidings of it have been met in Hall lax with that promptitude and compassionate feeling A [licit they must universally excite. Sentiments of sor row, and a desire to tender assistance, have been every liere . minifested, and have - not bein confined to age, Upon the receipt of the mail, with the intelligent-, on Saturday afternoon, gloom and anxiety were every whete manifested ; and on Sunday morning, at nine o'clock, a meeting of the inhabitants took place, when the following resolutions were passed : " That provisions and other articles for the relief of the sufferers be sent to the store of Messrs. Deblois and Mitchel. " That letters be written to the different parts of the Province, requesting the aid of the inhabitants. " *IVA a committee be appointed to request that collections may be made in the different places of worship in this town, on ‘utiday next, for this charitable purpose." A subscription was opened at the mcetlng, aid before k broke up 1,2001. wete subscribed. ACt m mime of Alanagement and a Sub-Committee to collect subscrip tions throughout the town were also appointed, and, not wi•lsstanding thz inclemency of the weather during the afternoon of that di , and the•forenoon of•yesterday, the sum was increased to 2,0001. Vessels were dis -patched with provisions, others were laden in lake manner, and a large ripply of clothing and other ne cessaries. Where all have acted so generously, it would be wrong to particularize, satisfied as we are that the reflection of having performed a benevolent action must afford the highest gratification to every virtuous mind. Melancholy as are the descriptions contai:3ed in the letters, we fear mote heart-rending accounts are.yet to be received. Numbers must have perished of whom no account will probably be ever obtained, and many , persons who have been mutilated and otherwise per sonally injured, will continue from time to time to be discovered in remote situations, or will perish through want in distant and retired parts of the cc n say. EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO A GENTLEM tN IN THIS TOWN, DATED AIIRAMICHI, OCTOBER 10 " In the midst of the utmost confusion, and the greatest destruction of life and property ever recorded, I write you these few lines to solicit your aid, and that of all friends to humanity, to assist those of us who have parti Illy escaped from total ruin, to support the nutte rous distressed individuals who are thrown uson us for food, shelter, raiment, and medical assists ce, at a most unfortunate seartn, with the prospect of a long aild severe winter before us, and an unprecedented scarcity of provisions. The extent of destruttion on the fa' al night of the 7th instant is unknowtrand iodeszribellt : nearly the whole parish and town of Nivigattle lies in • smoking ruins. The settlements of miIIFTo g , Nappan, and back settlements of Chatham and Newolikle, are not only nearly all des toyed, but few persons survive to tell the doleful tale. " It would melt the heart of the most unfeeling to see the numerous individuals who have just eseqed total destruction by this fire, and many now perishing from their wounds. Chatham has miraculously eicaped destruction in a great measure; Many of the shipping have suffered much, and three loaded ships fell a s.cti fice to the fl Imes. G. Rankin and Company hive saved their dwelling-house only from its being sitirated so high that the hurricane blew the fam:s past and over it, which, however, destroyed every other building be longing to them ; they saved their book. and papers. Abrams saved nothing but whit he and his family stood in, merely night clothes. It is mere mockery to try to &scribe the horrors this scene presents, and the abject distress that everywhere presents itself." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A MERCANTILE H USE TO THEIR FRIENDS HERE. • " We have the awful story to tell you that one half of the people on this river are now destitute of house, home, and property, of any description. We had a most awful night on Friday, the 7th instant—the fire appeared to come all at once, and nothing but destruc tion before our eyes. Newcastle and Douglas.towo is all burnt to the ground, except a few houses. and it appears as though Chatham and Nelson were only preserved as a refuge for the distressed. We have now some hundreds in Cha ham who escaped from the fire, some half burnt and. others dying from suffocation: indeed, it is not in the power of any one to describe the scene %ilia we now witness —men, women, and chil dren, coming in from all parts of the river, withuut clothing to cover them. We have all beet up these two nights past watching, and preparing for the worst. Gilmore and Rankin's stores and all their property; except their dwelling house, have been destr led; Abrams escaped with his family, some of them with nothing but their linen on; Salters, Allan, Crane and Allison, Nesmith, Elder, and indeed all at the Court house, have lost everything, and just escaped wit's life. 'Gilmore and Rankin, Nesmith, Duncan, and Lock, were the only persons who saved their boas and papers:' EXTRACT OF A LETTER FBOM A GENTLEMAN TO 1113 BROTHER, DATED MIRAMICHI, OCTOBER 10. "It is with sorrow that I make known to you, that our late flourishing settlement is laid in ashes. On the evening of the. 7th current, fire communicated from the woods, which came with such dreadful violence, accompanied with a hurricane, that it literally showered down fire and sand, so that it was with the greatest difficulty we escaped with our lives; poor William made his retreat with Caroline to the house of Mr. 11. *Callum, which escaped being but nt ; he go: his right hind much burnt in getting out of the house; Caroline is as well as can be expected ; I stayed behind at the store endeavouring to save our books, papers, &c. but it came so fast, that I had to run for my life, and leave all behind. I took to the river, from whence I was taken up by a ship's boat, and carried on bi arJ. . I bless D that our lives ate saved, although our propel ty is gone. The only thing we have saved is our timber, and a few things in Ledslen's store ; fortunately, this morning, some pork and flour have arrived from Live'. pool for us, at present we are getting a areal of - victuals where we can find it. Those few persons who have their houses saved are kind to the distressed; the Gre corn. menced, it is said, somewhere about Datt,bogue, and came up the bank of the river with a rapidity impos sible to be conceived, destroying all as it came.
