this evening. During the twenty-four hours

deaths. The King to-day received the
members of the Provincial Council and
subsequently continued his visits to the
hospitals and encampments formed for the
accomodation of people inhabiting the
poorer quarters of the city. The municipal
authorities have, with the consent of the
Archbishop of Naples, forbidden religious
processions through the streets, as being
dangerous to the public health.
A:public su.bscri ption at the rate of five
centimes has been ordered at Milan for the
purpose of presenting the King with a medal,
in recognition of his devotion in visiting
Naples. The Radical Catholic press unite
with the Liberal papers in eulogising the
conduct of his Majesty. Signor Cavalotti
has offered the Naples relief committee to
enroll 2eo men formerly belonging to the
volunteer corps for the service in the hos-
pitals.

CAUTION.—HOMCROPATHIC is essential
to success with these remedies that they should be pre-
paired with scrupulous care, and preferably by one who
makes it his sole business ; hence it is very desirable
that those using them should insist on each bottle ob-
tained from a vendor bearing the label of a firm of re-
pute. Those sold by the agents of JAMES EPPS and
Co (the first established Homceipathic Chemists in
England) have a label over the cork with their autograph
rade mark.
