. CURE FOR ALL!
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
The univershl Remedy for Bad Legs
Bad Breasts, Old Wounds, and
Ulcerations of all kinds.
There is no medicinal preparation which may .be so
thoroughly relied upon in the. treatment of the-above ail-
ments as Holloway's Ointment. Rubbed upon the surface
of the body, over, or near the affected parts, it disappears
under the friction of the hand, penetrating at once to the
source of the evil, and thus performs its healing errand,
rapidly, safely, and without pain. In all long standing
cases, Holloway's Pills should also be taken as they purify
the Blood and expel all depraved humours from the system.
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, and
Bronchitis.
This Ointment is irresistible in the cure of these throat and
pectoral complaints, which when neglected often end in
settled Asthma or Consumption. The Ointment well
rubbed upon the Chest and back, night and morning,
penetrates the skin, and thus absorbed, is carried directly
to the Lungs, where, in immediate contact with the whole
mass of circulating Blood, it neutralizes or expels all im-
purities. By these-means all pulmonary complaints may
be cured with rapidity and ease.
Disorders of the Kidneys, Stone and
Gravel.
in any of the above complaints more benefit may be
derived in twenty,hours, by adopting the following simple
means, than could be brought about in six mouths by any
other treatment. In bad cases, if the ointment be diligently
rubbed into the small of the back, over the region of the
Kidneys, it will quickly penetrate and give immediate
relief. iiix or eight of the Pills should be taken nightly
according to circumstances.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Stiff Joints.
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious control
over bout and Rheumatism, than any other Medicine. No
one need remain uncured, who will in good earnest make
a vigorous application of this infallible remedy—according
to the Printed Instructions affixed to each Pot. All settled
aches and pains will likewise be banished by the same treat-
ment.
Skin Diseases, Scrofula, and Scurvy.
The beneficial effects of this peel ices ent aret
wonderful in cases of Ringwoim, EcniNy, end Scrofula
King's Evil, and its poweis ate adequate to the removal
the most inveterate Skin Disease to which the human ham
is subject.
The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor HoLLovvey's
Establishment, 533, Oxford Street, London; also by nearly
every respectable Vendor of Medicine throughout the
Civilized World, in Boxes and Pots, at is lid, 2s 9d, 48 6d

There are few persons who are altogether unaware of
the almost fabulous profits of Tin and Copper Mining,
but it is not so generally understood that in the distri-
bution of those profits there are thousands of persons
who, on an original outlay of comparative insignificance
—often only a few pounds, enjoy a substantial yearly
r...venne, Still less is it understood that, amongst the
vast nnmber of progressive mines throughout the two
counties, there are always a great many in which shares
can be bought at a nominal price with almost a certainty
of sooner or later realising enormous profits on the
outlay; but such is the fact, as is almost weekly demon-
strated by the astounding advances in price, often from
-
a few shillings to scores of pounds each. ' And it may'
be fairly asked in what other branch of industry, bow.,
ever lucrative,' is it possible for to fructify into
£l,OOO, as in the case of Devon Consols; while hundreds
of other instances, not quite so notable, but still,
tiuest advocate, however, of mining is bound to
that, under the most favoured circumstances, it
can never be wholly devoid of speculation: indeed, from
the very nature of the pursuit, seeking after wealth
which may or may not exist, uncertainty is inseperable
from the most legitimate mining undertaking ; and it is
to be regretted that the term '4 adventure," by which;
up to a few yews since, all young mines were described,
has fallen into disuse. At the same time it is undeniable,
that the speculation attached to mining, at the present.
time, is lessened by the improved state of t•ur knowledge
respecting the laws which regulate the formation of ,
mineral deposits ;- and although that knowledge it
limited, yet we are able to sev, from general inference,
where we may seek for minerals with reasonable hope
of success, and where search would he futile.
Geology, like the more exact sciences is capable of
advancing scientific induction to true theories and reli-
able results; hence it follows that by a careful observa-
tion of the features which characterise rich deposits,
their identity with neighbouring speculations, and an
elimination el all fanciful or entliusia,tic preference, there
is no difficulty, to a competent pereon, to select from
amongst a number of young mines those which have
the most reliable prospect of success.
There was never, probably, in the histcry of mining
such a favourable moment for speculating in progressive
mines with prospects of enormously profitable realisation
as the present. For a long time past the terrible de-
pression in trade, the abseLco of specutation as a con-
sequence of the late war•cloud and the unparalleled de-
preciation in the price of metals ( rin having fallen from
ISS to £35 per ton) have proved almost overwhelming
in their effect on metallic mining. Now, however, there
are unmistakable signs that the worst has been reached,
and that we are on the eve of 'a reaction which will en-
able enormous 'gains to be made by those who, having
spare c,pital, have the temerity to act contrary to the
old adage, "When things are high the publc buy, but
when they are low they let them go,' but take advantage
of the present depressed prices. 'I hose who do so may
feel assured they will make money rapidly, and to an
extent kardly conceiveble in any o:her branch of in-
dustry.
With these few particulars Meters. Archer and Slack,
who are thoroughly acquainted with the subject, and who
have an intimate connection with all departments Of
mining, beg to announce that they have selected two
mines, the Shares of which, now at a law price, thee.
believe may be safely bought for an early and great riso,
They will give the names of these mines on condition
1:
receiving a percentage of the profit realised by a'
investment in them 'Whin three months of purchasing.
This plan of remuneration, being dependant on success,
commends itself; and gives the best guarantee of the
selection being judiciously made.
Messrs. Archer and Slack will be happy to comranni-
°ate with any one desirions of further particulars, and
will supply fully the grounds on which the expectation
is based. Address, Messrs. Archer and Slack, Civil
Engineers, as above.

This sad and mournful topic has superseded all
others in its hold upon the public interest. This is the
first of the Queen's children whom death has claimed.
In 1861, within nine months, her Majesty lost her
mother, and then her husband; but she saw all her
nine children grow up to be men and women. Six of
these are married, and the youngest is now in her
22nd year. This is not always the experience in such
a numerous family. The Crown Princess of Prussia,
the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Alice he-.-self
had all lost children. It may be remembered that
some years ago one of her little ones fell out
of a Window in Darmstadt, and was killed; the
death of another a month sine has already been
noted. The surrounding circumstances of the
Princess's loss render it all the more mourn-
ful. The people no longer open their papers to
read of the progress of the British arms in Afghanistan,
to look at the results of exciting Parliamentary
debates, or to canvass the prospects of this or that
political party in some pending election. When an
absorbing subject fills the mind, there is not much
room for aught besides; and a considerable proportion
of matter in the journals, which would be welcome
enough at any other season, is passed by at a time
of great sorrow for the troubles of the most exalted
in the land, whose position does not shield them
from the operation of unalterable laws.
The adjournment of the Legislature for the Christmas
recess must be looked upon in the light of similar
risings in ordinary Sessions for the vacations at Easter
and Whitsuntide, for it is of precisely the same charac-
ter. The business upon the Parliamentary notice
paper is timed to begin again on the 18th February,
and engtweinents upon it are fret down up to the 30th
July next. It seems a long while to look forward to
seven months in advance; but at the beginning of
every Session, members ballot for positions upon the
notice paper throughout its entire length, and have
done so
,new,
,as though it had commenced at the
usual time instead of in December. When, therefore,
the House agains meets in the middle of February, there
will be no formal ceremony of any sort .or kind. It
will be merely an assembling after a recess, and not
the opening ot Parliament after a prorogation. We
shall have no. Queen 's Speech, either personally or
by Royal Commission; the Speaker will take his seat
in the canopied chair as on any other afternoon, and
the business will proceed as usual. In previceis
winter sessions some misconception on this point
upon the part of the public has sometimes arisen
and the total absence of ceremonial after an adjourn-
ment of two months has been to many a subject of
surprise.
The session, or rather the pre-Christmas sitting, has
been full of interest and excitement. It was remark-
able for a great division in the House of Lords, in
which at half-past two o'clock on a bitterly
cold December morning, 266 peers took Part.
For such a number of noble lords to be present
at that hour showed the absorbing nature of
the topic under debate. The largest number
of peers who have taken part in any division of
modern times, was on the 18th June, 1868, when
325 noble lords were present. The subject then was
the second reading of the Irish Church Disestablish-
ment Bill, which was carried by 179 to 146. It was'
broad daylight when their lordships adjourned on
that bright summer morning—a very different time
from that of the recent division upon the Afghan
War. More severe weather we have not experienced
for many years. The peers, as they issued forth
from the House after the division, were enveloped in
furs and wraps, as though the winter were one of
a Canadian intensity. The loungers in the lobbies
have, at this sitting, been very few; the loose
garments and light summer attire so conspicuous
before the break-up ,of the
,House in August, had,
with those veil() were present, been replaced by
great coats and comforters. In fact, both in circum-
stances, in time, and in its general soundings the
short session hal been abnormal in its character, No
