Honorary Metntrir of the London Hogoli.al Medical Society, Licentiat of Apothecaries' Hall, London, sc., Sm. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses. which have produced more misery in Voutli. degradation in man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. its perusal is particularly recommeaded to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled, It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are p ineiples of perscnal manugement which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, aid how the evil and its consequences may be z.volded, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical Infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—THOBLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-- It is only a short time since this singularly. efficacious article of animal died, first made its appearance ; ang already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a sub ject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to gat the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was won derful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, bad gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &?.., the animals which carried off the highest pr.ns, had been partly fed with Thorley 'a food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and Ave are forced to the conclusion, that its celebrity arises solely from its onwn intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. [ADVERTISEMENT. Until the introduction, by Mr. Du Barry, of the Revalenta Arabica Food, both as a regimen for invalids and infants, and a remedy for all disorders connected with the stomach, nerves, kidneys, li . rer, and intestines gene rally, it might have been asserted, with truth, that the treat ment of patients, in some of the most obstinate, haras sing, and painful complaints to which the human frame is liable, was one desperate g - me of ha:,-hazard—different practitioners pl tying off different systems, involving indescri bable suffering and expense, and ending in failure. All this is now happily changed. Without-]aying out money in doc tors' bills, without enduring the horrors of " doctors' stuff," but simply by the adoption of a pleasant and palatable resto rative Food, disease is banished, and health and activity take its place. It is on no mere theory that these things are asserted. When Fifty Thousand persons are referred to, each of woom has separately described the wondrous healing effect of the preparation in an infinite variety of maladies, the theory resolves itself into ascertained and demonstrated fact —a fact neither to be hushed up, nor explained away on any other ground then that of the unparalleled efficacy of :he Re valeuta Arabice.

I would not tecommend adopting a part of the scheme. By Mr. Alderman Cubitt—lt would of course be an advantage to keep the banks of the river clean. There is a great difference between the slopes on the banks of the Seine and the Thames, as one is a tidal river and the other is net. I have no doubt that then channels would fill up. By Sir B. Hall Looking at the map on the wall, it indicates that . the current of the river towards the Penitentiary is to the north, it then sits to the south towards Lambeth Palace, and then it is di verted to the north approaching Watetloo-bridge ; but we are told that, if this deep channel is fotmtel, instead of the natural current it wilt be diverted to tit(' south side at Waterloo-bridge, do you agree with that erolsesifon ? Mr. Bid ier—Ce tainly not. Sir B. H dl—Will net the reenit be this, —the fresh water that cmnes down will strike the south side of this river below Lambeth Palace, will then be turned in a northerly direction near Waterlito bridge, and there fill up the channel rather than dee:tee it ? Mr. Bidder—l have no doubt of it. To suppose that these two li. tie channels will alter the course of the river is quitenut of the question. Ido not think it would be desirable to prosecute this scheme as to these channels, and, in point of fact, if they were made it would be so much meney thrown away. By the Hon. J. Percy—l have no scheme of my own, nor have I given au opinion upon any other scheme. If these channels wereenade and wore gilt of the expense of dredging them w-.1',1 depun.l en tirely - anon the 4. line they took to fill up. If they requited dredging once a month of course the ex pense would be very gr , at, but I will undertake to say they will fill up. Ido not, believe a general slope of 1 in 12 will answer, and i have alluded to Blackwell, whole the mud accumulates on a slope of lin G. lam not aware that great damage has been - done to harbours and other places by embank meet of rivers. By Lord Palmerston—Gravel has alconstant ten dency to travel towards the centre of the river. So long as there is an i ra polling ferce it continues equal, and if it Meets with noobstrucliou, gt.avel continues its onward course ; but that depends upon the size of the gravel. Lord Palmerston—Suppose the bed of the river tube perfeAly uniform and smooth over all its area, the force equal, then the action of the cur rent would have no effect ? Mr. Bidder—None at all. The removal of Lon don-bridge had led to the deepening of the channel above bridge? If these channels were made they would fill up, and could not be maintained. They would silt up more or less. I will give you an in stance of that. I lately made holes in some grounds of mine trough which a stream runs, for the pur pose of holding fish, and they have all filled up with gravel. To make a running channel uniform in all its parts that man must be more than mortal. It might be in the constitutional tendency of . na ture to make deep places, bat that could not be done by any other course. Ido not believe that if you cut off an elbow in a stream formed by na ture that 3ou can do so without forming another. If all the sewers were to discharge their contents at low water mark it would prevent exhalations and would be so far beneficial, but it would not re lieve the river. By Sir J. Shelley—As far as gettine rid of he mud banks this scheme would be beneficial—there is no doubt of it. I do not think that would cause any silting up of the channel as the sewage matter is so light. With regard to the edges of these channels at low water,. it would have a bad effect upon the navigation. The stability of these channels would dep,nd greet deal upon the ma teriele put in. Bricks would not remain utiltoet they were cemented together. Granite blocks would stand,' but that would be a great additional expellee. By Lord J. Manners—A dredged channel will fill up. lam not aware of any part of the river which has been dredged havieg filled up. By the Chairman—lf a channel between the Houses of Parliament and Westminster-bridge has been dredged for seven years, and not filled up at the present time, lam not aware of it, nor do I believe it. By the Chairman—l approve slopes if made of a sufficient incline, but I do not think that the mud ottuld be washed off with an incline of Ila 12. I also approve the plan of sending the contents of the sewers by means of closed channels into the river at low watermark, for the same lesson as I approve of removing mud from the banks. The cukting of a channel on each side of the river has never been heard of before and will never be heard of again. Any rational man would carry a channel to the centre, anti not on each side of the river. This plan, in some respects, seems to me to create an evil for the purpose of overcoming it. By Mr. Roupell—Some portions of Mr. Gurney's plan might to a certain extent ba useful, but the work ought to be carried out in a more extensive manner. I hive male no special examination of the river after reatling Mr. Gurney's report. By Mr. Tite—The river is as irregular lougitu dinally as it is crosswise. If it were suggested that these channels should be formed, that the mouths of the sewers at low watermark should be trapped, and that tlie gases should be burnt by connecting the sewers with a furnace, I should certainly not feel disposed to recommend the adoption of such a course as a temporary expedient. If an intercept ing sewer were formed, except the removal of the mud banks, these works would be of no use what li ever. By Mr. Alderman Cubitt — The deepening of the channel would not necessarily affect the safety of the bridges. Mr. Jas. Lawes, examined by the Chairman—l have given great attention to the sewerage ques tion. Some portions of Mr. Gurney's plan have c ins under my notice. I read the report scene time ago. My opinion is that the deposits oto the mud banks of the Thames is the cause of the nuisance I agree with Mr. Gurney that, whatever eistance you carry the sewage down the river, it will come back again. I agree with Mr, Gurney, too, that a great deal of the present nuisance arises ft om the mud banks of the Thames. If Mr. Gurne:e'e plan would get rid of the mud banks and a great• deal of the sewage which is floating about the river it would be a great improvement ; but I cannot say that this process would do that. Mr. Gurney's elan would prevent the deposit of rapid ou the batiks, and would prevent the exhalations of gases as far as low eater mark ; but, as he sten cis all the tewage into the Thames, I do not think it -will meet all the difficulty. As long as we have a mass of floating sewage in the Thames, Mr. Gurney's plan will not remove it. In warm weather there is a great escape of the noxious gases. The Chairman—lf the sewage were discharged at Barking-creek do you think it would return to London ? Mr. Lawes—l think it would. A considerable part of it would return. The Chairman—Would it return in such a form as to be injurious to the inhabitants of London ? Mr. Liw , s-4 think it would. If sewage deodo risatioa w"rks were to be established at Barking creek, I do not think the value of the manure would be found. By Sir B. Hall—l am not able to say from actual experiment-4 what part of the sew , , , ge will return to the metropolis. I have made no experiments of th,t Sir B. you give any idea of the effe :t of thn liwe which is now To on Ihe IP tut bank? THE STATE OF THE RIVEit THAMES. The Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire ,into the present state of the river Thames, with a view of devising some re medy for the existing state of things, reassembled yesterday at 12 o'clock. Mr. Kendall in the chair. The other members of the committee present were —the Hon. Percy Jocelyn Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Sir John Yarde Millar, Sir John Shelley, Mr. Tite, Mr. Roupell, Sir B. Hall, Lord Palmerston, Lard John Manners, &c. Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney was called and exa mined by the Critarman—He said, I :visa before giving my evidence, to express a h >pe that the public press will deal fairly, anti give the evido.ce in favour of my plin as well as that given agaicstif. After some discussion the committee said, they could not prevent the public ttion of the evidence, and passed a resolution regretting that some parts of the evidence which were in favour of Mr. Gtr ney's plan on a former occasion had not be e n given as well as that of Mr. Walkar against it. Mr. Gurney was then further examined—He ad verted to the lodging of thl sewage in b , attices near ' the shore, and said, that,w hen the committee weu t down the river the other day in a:steamboat, nearly opposite Rotherhilie church, in the centre of the river the water was tested, and it was found to be altogether free from surell, while on tha sides of the river the water was not much better than that in an ordinary cesspool. He had taken water from the London Docks, and that taktai 15 feet from the 9urrace was i,,dird to be perfectly clear. The smell principally. arose from the water at the sides of the river. The sewage from tha sewer emptying itself into the river near Hingerford-market was quite clear, occasioned, he believed, by deep pits in it, in which the sewage was precipitated. He was not aware whether there had been any diver,iou of the sewage f otn that sewer. A slope of the tanks of 1 in 16 would generally keep thew clear, but 1 in 12 Would . be much better. (The witness then gave some further evidence, which was entirely of a technical and scientific el:aracter.) Mr. G. Bidder, the celebrated engineer, was then called and examined by the Chswatau. tie said—l am a civil engineer, and have been so for m any years. I have read r. G. Gurney's report, but it is a considerable time ago, and I do not ex actly understand upon what part of it I am called upon to give an opinion. The Chairman—Well, first of all, part of Mr. Gurney's plan is this :—He intends to form two channels 30 yards wide and three yards deep, with au average distance of 50 yards from the wharf walls with a slope of 1 in 12, by which means he consi ders that the mud which is now cast upon the banks of the river will be removed, and so get rid of the nuisance. Do you think, if he succeeds in dredging channels of 30 yards wide and 0 feet in depth, which are supposed to receive a scouring power, that these channels will keep themselves clear with ' out any inatet ial expenses in dredging ? Mr. Bidder—l cannot tell whether the expenses would be material or not, but they will require dredging, as the bed of the river is composed of gravel, and that is moved by the current of the river. When the old London-bridge was removed, a great change took place, for both Blackfriars and Westminster brilges were affected by it, and candy Vauxhall-bridge piershad to be encased with stonework. I cannot speak to the neces-ity of deepening the present channel 'he river, but it is impossible that these small channels can. be kept clear without artificial assistance. If they can be kept clear without having recourse to dr; aging I should say that it would he almost miraculous. Clay will resist any amount of scour, but gravel will not. The formation of these two channels would be very inconvenient as regards the navigation of the river, and especially at low water it steamers came across the edges of these channels. If they were formed they might stand. I think the ques tion as to whetherthese slopes would retain themu.l at the inclination proposed must greatly depend on the locality, as the mud remains on a slope :it __ac__ Isl k - wall with an inclination of lin 5. Taking the upper part of the Thames generally, I do noL Oink that a s l o pe of I in 12 will prevent the deposit of mud. If all the outlets of the sewers were taken down to low wattr mark it would be beneficial to a certain extent, and the noxious gases would be ar rested, but no other advsntage would arise from it. I agree with Mr. Bazilget.e—lntleed I have no doubt a it—that the sewage lodging on the mud banks is the cause cf great evil. Mr, Hawksley has assisted inc in examining the river for the Metro politan Board of Works ; we are still pursuing our an d I hope in a few days, to be able tj inquiries, give you all the information you require upon al ai subject. Mr. Roup(-11—You say that the gravel in the river is liberated by the current or stream of the river ; is not the motion a slow motion, and, if it is so, would not the gravel be carried down the river ? Mr. Bidder—Yes; but below London-bridge I find mud on the banks and gravel in the middle of the river. But, as regards the slow motion of the eravel, you may have a notion that it is slow ; but I do not think, if it moves 100 yards in a day, that can be called a slow motion. If there are to he angles from the shore of 1 in 12, I do not believe that they will be free from mud. I cannot say, as a general principle, that a slope of 1 in 12 will be sufficient to prevent mud depositing on them. If the sewers of the metropolis were to be carried to low water mark in the river, the P obability of the sew age being carried to the sea would be the same as it is at present. It would be the same in that respect, but it would prevent the accumulation of mud on the banks. Mr. Tite—Supposing all the sewers to be trapped, the sewage to be turned out of the sewers a; low water mark, the noxious gases to be drawn out of the sewers and burnt in furnaces with high chim neys, and that thereshould be an angle on the s hore with a slope throughout of lift 1 2, with channels on each side of the river to facilitate the drainage to tne sea, do you think that this plan would be a so lution of the drainage q uestion? Give us your opi nion upon the whole scheme, as a remedy for the present evils ? Mr. Bidder—That would open the whole ques tion as to whether those two little channels will cure the impurity of the Thames. That is a guess tion I would rattier vo into ;:t another time. Mr. Tire--I want your opinion bow. Do you think the whole scheme a feasible one ? Mr. Didder—l do not think it is a feasible plan . _ Mr. Lawes—lt will arrest. the nuislnce to a certain extent, but I thiiik it will have a preju dicial effect on the navigation of t i t' , river, as for every ton of lime thrown in you g:t four tons of deposit, and if you t'irow in one Init.:dr:A tons a-Week that may prove a very serious matter. All the sedimentary matter goes down to the bottom by the action of the lime, and if the practice of throwing lime into the river went on long enough the navigation would be ,choked up. Sir ...B. Hall—Suppose a large ounni'tv cf thrown to oo d into f . . the current was _arid be the tesuit ? Mr. Lawes—lt would choke up the sewer. There was no doubt that the lime would cause a large amount of deposit. By Lord Palmerston—Supposing all tile sewage of the metropolis to be discharged into the stream of the river, and retained there for sonic little time, before it was carried down the river, and there was a certain amount of temperature, it would emit noxious and disagreeable gases? Mr. L twos—Tile river would be dangerous when the temperature was from 6S d , -2. to 70 deg. The tetuperatureof the atmosphere wou!d then be about 120 deg. There would always be a great deal of noxious exhalation during summer. To secure London front the inconvenience to which it is now subject, and to remove the sewage to the lower part of the river, and to prevent it coming back within the limits of the metripolis, they must de stroy that part of the sewage which is held in SUS pension, as the matters held in suspension are the most dangerous. By Sir J: Shelley.--'I think the smell from the Thames would be removed if they threw in lime enough ; but that would be at an enormous ex pense to the ratepayers. Ido not think that the spending of 1,500/. in lime would have the effect • of raising its price in the market. The present nui EMU) may probably last as long as the warm wea- tiler lasts. At half-past 4 o'clock the committee adjourned. THE THAMES SE WAGE. (Prom the Times.) The sewage question reminds one of the won dorfil storehou,e. at Weedon Barracks, where an infirite quantity of hoots and other stores are poured in at one end and disappear at the other, uoboay knows how, without any reckoning. Com mittee after Committee, Commission after Com mission, has sat on the question, collecting facts enough to build on them a hundred different systems of drainage. But nobody appears to know ant thing of them. The facts are but ied, forgotten, obsolete, rotten before they are ripe. So, when we ask for something to be done, the cry is for another Commission, or Committee upstairs. As, in corn piiance with Mr. Disraeli's request, Orders are now to have I:meal-nee of Motions every day of the week, and the Thames nusance bas become a ;ea-on for nothing (Ise beteg done ex cept what cannot be helped, it is time to ask, " How about the Thames iised?" It we have a world of business besides, that might perhaps ex, cuse our doing nothing with the river, for there are cireumstances under which life itself becomes a secondary consideration. But there is nothing else. The India Bill is no hi-g, for Parliament has agreed to take the third India . Bill, snorii of all peculiarities, and reduced to a n..utral colour. As for measures in general, Government inherits none, and has marle none of its own. It pleads its position, the heat of the weather, and the peltdential stream that flows by its .windows. So, what with provisional government, and welt with the Thames, Lord DJ.by and his friend{ have an easy time of it. But, if the Themes is to bee reason for doing nothing else, it is a ll the stronger for our doing something with the nuisance itself. In fact, it rests with Government. They have the game iu their hands. Parliament would give them any powers they might have the courage and honesty to ask for, if they really wished to be worth their salt. They have only to apply for a Portion of those powers under which they are blow ing mountains ti pieces, and casting them into the sea, to make harbours of refuge, or making docks larger and larger at all the great arsenals, and Parliament will be too happy to give them twice as much authority and money as they ask for. So, it is at their responsibility that the work is post poned. They are now doing nothing but throwing a few b ettloads of lime into the river, in the vain hope of sweetening the classic aborts of Lambeth and Millbtuk, or pottering somewhere or o her with the mouths of the sewers. All that will make Mighty little difference th's time next year. We waut something that will go to the heart of the evil, and that without a day's longer delay than is absolutely necessary. That the problem is an easy one, or that it admits of mathematical certainty, is more than any man would venture to say ; but we have a very wrong opinion that the inherent difficulties of the case are not so great as those which prejudice or jobbery would superadd to them. All must re member the very great pains taken to make the Exhibition in Ily , le Park an eternal affair, a thin(' of brick and mortar, an architect ural trium p h.° Walls 12 feet, domes of solid masonry, and fouuda tions down to the London clay, were come of the features of the project, and there was good reason to fear that a continu ,, us stream of bricks would sot in at every approach to the park for the next twelvemonth. In like manner our earlier railway. stations comprehended vast palatial halls for no•hino. at all, and porticoes borrowed f rom the largest temples of antiquity. In the later ones the directors, " wiser grown," have been content to cover the largest possible areas with the lightest possible wood or iron roofing.

There they are, at all events ; and, unless they are joined in some marvellous way so as to make a dislocation or a twist irreparable, each joint will be only like ono vertebra in a backbone. We point this out as the right way of dealing with the sewage, specially so called. Of course, no piping, and no other plan for carrying off our swage to the sea, will suffice for the surface drainage, or the " storm water" of the me tropolis. .It ,is rather hard upon any engi neer to expect him to , convey fifty miles across country the occasional deluge that submerges a hundred square miles of hill and plain. But there are two special nttisances that we think ought to be' specially dealt with. The Gas Companies ought to be compelled t 3 dispose of their " blue billy," as it is called, themselves, without - adding it to the natural obligation of our overtasked river. No wonder that the Thames water is bad when hun dreds of tens of downright druggists' poison are thrown into it week by week, without a soul to say nay. We have a right to he protected ft out every thing else bet simple sewage. Now, as things are in these days, this is an affair of machinery from first t 3 last, and admits of the exacttst calculation. We know to a gallon how mue:h water is. supplied to a hour-. We know the supply, which is never exceeded, though often not reached. With a cer tain allowance for additional rainwater at certain times, it will be easy to provide sufficient sewers— as much iron as possible—for the water that passes through our hoeses. If eeces-ary, and if the ordi nary supply of water is not enough to keep site pipes clean, they can be ocra. , :o•i^l2 - ailyhow, uf the nuisatica, be giheing, as it doe', with an artificial and regulated supply of water, and being controlled by machinery throughout, appears to us specially susceptible of a similar treament in tlie river, awl right down to the sea, if necessary. It is, however, the' chief merit of this proposal that it can be commenced at once, and we can feel our way to an indefinite ex `,cnsion of it afterwards. . . (From the Daily News) England is an emieently practical nation, and somewhat selfish ; our constitution is based upon the principle that a man who is just outside the class whose wants are supplied frcm day to . day by the sweat of their brow has his feel ings and•his wishes represented in one branch of our legislature, and we are yearly placing our mem bers more and more under the direct control and in fluence of their constituents. Members are being detached from party tactics and the personal in fluence of leasers. The unity of thouelar and action, as represented by a majority in the House of Com- mon?, is swayed by no fixed principl 3 of leader ship or expeoiency. The Conservatives strain their , conscience and belie their name by parish g Radical measures, and the liberals vete with them. How -ever we may blame ministuis, we consider the re sult beneficial to progress. It is one of those turn ing points in our hi'tory inaugurated by S.r Robert Pe-l's secession, which brings jab prominence the i dictum of " measures, and not men." _ That is constitutional policy working its end through a disunion of thought, a balance of con tradictions ; but after all, nobte lords and honour able members, learned judgts and right reverend divines are but wen, who have five senses in com mon. The putrescent state of the Thames has attacked their sense of smell ; doAors write to the papers that this is a prelndo to cholera, fevers, dysentery, and what not, and a unanimous howl is raised against the Government for allowing such a stench to go abroad, and a peremptory opinion is expressed that it must be put down at once.. Hera is' a grand opportunity for Lord Derby to use his macician's wand; a practical step is wanted ; and, for once, all the discordant elements, from the Crown to the trietropatan voter, are unanimous. If Lord Derby will only look the matter boldly in the face, and act upon his own conviction of what is right, the wand is in his hand, and he can the it. But we can give him one piece of advice :—Do not refer this question of the Thames and metropolitan drainage Li, any m ore.committe; . 3 or conim;s4ions. Every title of information that can possibly he required is eloeady available iu a wlv de library of blue-bp6ks and reports, dating from 1641 to the present year. The facts upon which a remedy must be based are known, any further inquiry will only distort them to serve personal considerations and advance the norrums of nopractival scientific men. The state of the Thames is agerevated by two ca ,,,, : —Tira sewage of London daily flowing into • it, and tie accumulation of sewage in the form of black mud along its banks between Lambeth and Loedon-hridge. The rem.: dy is self-evident : —To carry the Lon don sewage so far down the Thames that it shall • not return into London proper with the flowine o tide, and to do away with the mud banks. First, we most deal with the sewage. The great fact which strikes one at first is the waste of valu able manure in allowin g the sewage of nearly three millions of inhabitants to flow into the sea. That is no doubt a paradox which will be !solved 'some day. Our present aim, however, is to prevent three millions of people being poisoned, not that of utilis ing their feces. Granted that some system of deo dorisatiou is available, it is evident that the appli cation of it ctnnot Io in the heart of London. If every house could deodorise its own sewage, the problem would be solved ; but the most ardent ad vocates of the system admit the necessity of cen tralisation in reservoirs, and these reservoirs must , be on t of London. The drainage of London must, therefore, be car r7ed out of town by some other conduit than the river. The simplest and most efficient plan is that of interception, i.e., to make on each side of the . Thames, and parallel to it, large covered drains which shall intercept all the drainage and carry it below the metropolitan area. The point of out fall into the river must be low enough down to all ,w of the sewage being discharged into it only at the turn of high-tide on the ebb, so as to prevent' it front being brought back above that point by the return tide, tint still rot into salt water, as fresh water tends to deodorise sewage, salt water, r enders it mre putrescent. This limits the point of ou';fall to some point between Sea Reach and Woolwich, and renders it necessary to have reser. coins large enough to keep back the sewage during flood-tide. At these reservoirs deodorising works may here after be estallished, so as to prevent any Sewage escaping into the river; but whether this can be done or not, the river will bare been purified above Woolwich. The tide flows five hours and ebbs seven, so that o d f il t u h t e ed pointthat if the sewage is discharged only during ebb tide a very small proro rtion of it will co me back to within four or five of no d i r l ch e a ff r e g4 B , and wm thenit Killin assuming, m be ileg so therefore, that the point of () offal' for the intercepting drains will be between result; FOR 'THE SEA SIDE.
