COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS,
These Pills onosid of a careful and peculiar
admixture of the best and mildest vegetable aperients. with
the pun:extract of the dowers of the camomile. They will be
found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of
the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver
and bowels, whkh produce Indigestion and the 'event
varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily
remove the irritation and feverish state of the etoinach, allay
spasms, correct the morbid condition of the leer and °eras*
subservient to dittestion,promote 'due and healthy aectetioc of
bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other,
impuritits, which, by aireuhding in the blood, must injuriously
affect the action if the kidneys : thus, by removing 0 e cameo
productive of so much discomfort they restore the energies
both 01 body and mind. Ti. those who Indulge in the luxurise
of the table, these stills will prove highly useful, occasioning
no pain in their action utilise they meet with an unusual
quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and
bevels. Ti. Europeans on Cieir arrival In India or China they
' axe recommended as a preservatise against the fatal disorders
peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if conibined
with the staietest attention to diet, will be frequently found to
remove at once by their intluovee over the Neeretions, that
congestive and unhealthy condition of the liver which is es
.4U:31 the earliest antecedent 'if ees ere febrile mid constitutional
disturbance.
I It must he understood that these pills are not recommended
as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients • on
the contrary, they are characterised by • remarkable simplicity
of cotnbination, and whatever merit they may be found to
possess depends as much upon the *election of pure drug', and
the unusual labour and attention bestowed upon their subse-
quent preparation, as upon the acknowledged peculiarity of
their composition.
They are not recommended as a iiiMILCOL, nor KM they adapted
to all complaints but as a Mild and efficacious tussled and
tonic In the various forms of indigestion It will not, perhaps, be
an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under
all systems of diet, changes of climes., or atmospheric alterna-
tions, with an extraordinary degree ol nieces for upwards of
16 years. This celebrated family aperient may be had through-

"Smut ARABS."—Mr. Fegan, 1 the boys Rome,

Town Hall on Tiwlay evening. The attendance was
small, the Rev. W. C. Osborn occupying the chair,
while the Rev. 'l'. Neave and the Rev. J. Harrington
were alio on the platform. The proceedings opened
with dinging a hymn, commencing " Rescue the
Perishing," and then Mr. Harrington offered prayer.
The Chairman expressed his deep interest in the move-
ment to rescue street Arabs and criminal bids, stating
the action be had taken in the matter while chaplain
of the prison at Bath. He had, he said, brought be-
fore the magistrates the sin of imprisoning young
children, some of whom even if the tender age of seven
years were incarcerated, and he hail conferred with
Lord Ashley, then member for that city, on the same
question. lie had lectured on the subject at Bristol,
contending the gaol was not the place for a child. Mr.
Fagan, delivered an interesting address, similar tothat
recorded under our Weymouth heading, and was
accorded • hearty vote of thanks at the close.

account. It gave him great pleasure to be able to
state that the past year had been one of the most
encouraging awl successful in the history of the Court,
not only financially but in the increase of its members,
as during the past year they had admitted 62 candi-
dates into tnembership. And if they deducted the
losses through various I.lllllleB there would still be a
nett increase on the year f 47; making the total of
215 members good on the books at the present time.
With regard to their financial state it had been
equally as prosperous, as they begun the past year
ending June with a grand total of the various funds of
£566 DU. 64,1., and closed it with a totsl.of £662 7s 20.;
giving the satisfactory increase si the year of
£94 Bs. 7id. • and if they added the investments
'since of 02 6s. ; it would give the increase up to the
present time of ZUG 14s. 7i I. ; awl a total capital of
£694 13s. 2kl. Their sickness expenses had greatly
diminished from what he had to report last year, ,
when they paid the large sum of £223 2s. 9.1. ; whereas
they had pail this year £126 Sc. 8L; showing a
decrease of 4:98 14s. Id. in comparison of the two
years. (Applause.) They had to regret the death of

expect him to give such high figures IN the prey WWI speak-
ers, the payments being so very sinalL The Juvenile
Branch was established in March, 1873, with something
like 50 boys, and no expenses attended it that year as re-
garded sick payments. but various books, rules, &c.,
made the expenses heavy. but he was happy to say,
the end of the year found them in the possession of
£lB. In 1874, the boys increased in number, and
some became payable on the sick list, and after paying
£5 Is. 7d, in sick payments their Investments for that
year amounted to £l5. In 1875, after paying sick pal
ments amounting to £5 176.5 d., they invested El
and thisyear theyhel paid Os. 7d. an sick pay,
up to the present time have invested £l6, which with
adding the balance in the Treasurer's hands, and
interest on capital, amounted to something like £74,
the total worth of the boys in 3i years, which he
thought was very satisfactory. Eight boys had been
transferred to the Parent Court, and 150 still stood
good on the books. He heartily thanked the gentle-
men present, for their very great kindness in entertain-

number have been diacharged cured 25; relieved, 3;

'Total number admitted to the benefits of the dispen-
sary from Its foundation in 1816, 20,002 ; tote' number
received as in-patients from the opening of the hospital
in 1838, 1,182-11,1t14."
Dr. MOOILSOLAD'S observations on the report were, in
the first place that the work of the hospital during the
plat year had not presented any features of very special
interest. Its chief characteristic had been one of a
negative character-namely, the great paucity of in-
patients. On more than one occasion his colleague and
himself might justly have claimed white gloves from the
committe, as there was not a single patient within those
walla. This falling off in the number of in-patients, he
thought, might be attributed partly to the few public
works going on in the district, and partly to the very
satisfactory state of the health of the town. At the last
' anniversary meeting he hail advent-ad the opinion, I.itid
upon the statistics of that institution and corroborated by
the testimony of others, that Weymouth was now Jim of
the most healthy watering place, in the kingdom. He
was happy to say the experience of the lima year afforded
by the hospital fully bore out that opildou---there had
been a striking decree.° of in-patients, while the out-
patients coining from the town, as lie would presently
explain. practically remained at the same low tlgure as
they lied reached Last year. While speaking of the public
health he rtated lie had been inforuied by the teal
sanitary °Meer that the low death-rate of 16 per thousand
of the inhabitants which prevailed in 157.5 was still
maintainel, while he had also learned from the paor-lew
medical officer that the amount of sirknees affecting the
Pauper CLLss still kept at the same low standard of the
previous year. Among the in-patients there were us few

year one case of a special character, as it was outside of
the district embraced by UM hospital. It was that of •
young luau who came from Warminster labounng under
chronic pneumouia. At the end of three weeks he was
discharged with his health thoreughly re-established. A
friend of the patient paid all the necessary expenses. 1/r.
Moorhead then adverted to the three death, anionget the
in-patients. The first, he said, was one of a peculiar
character; it was that of a pour woman who hail liven ill
for several weeks and whose medical attendant, finding
her progress unsatisfactory, adviaed her removal to the
hospital. The order, however, Was not carried eut far
many days after it was given. and the remit was that the
fatigue of the journey proved too much for the patient's
strength, so that when she entered the hospital she was
moribund. But for the liberal use of iestoratives she
would have died in the entrance hall. The improvement,
however, was but temporary, as she survived but a few
hours; though it was of ten said delays were dangerous, it
was seldom so melancholy an illustration of that old
dictum actually occurred. The second death Was that of
• patient from Wyke Regis. Ile was on the point of
being discharged cured of the malady for which he was
admitted, when he was suddenly seised with an epileptic
fit which caused almost instantaneous death. The third
death, which was of recent occurrence, was that of a poor
old woman front the parish of Fleet; she had sustained
fracture of the neck of the thigh hone. Shortly after her
admission, owing to deMient vital power, bedsores began
to appear, and, notwithstanding the adoption of the itiost
active preventive measures, gradually extended until the
patient's strength became exhausted, and death closed the
scene. With regard to out-patients, the chief point
worthy of notice was their decided increase during the
year. The increase, however, was mainly due to the
larger nullifier of patients coming from the surrounding
district and especially from Portland, while those con-
nected with Weymouth barely out-numbered those of
the previous year. The increased facilities of communi-
cation by rail with the adjacent isle sufficiently accounted
for the enlarged contingent", as medical malcontents
always exists in even- community. In conclusion. Dr.
Moorhead congratulated, on the one hand, the whole town
upon the highly satisfactory state of the public health,
and on the other the subscribers and friends of the
charity, upon the large amount of physical suffering
which had been alleviated through its instrumentality.
Judging from number of outantienta who presented
themselves from week to week, he thought his colleague,
Dr. Griffin, and himself were justified in concluding that
the hospital was gratefully appreciated by the sick
and they, therefore, had confidence in recommending it
to the generous support of a charitable public.

he had sent him the bill year after year. Defendant em-
ployed him to mend a net, and he sold the net in his pre-

the first four items of the bill. Plaintiff: Cross-examined
said defendant succeeded him at the herd Clyde inn,
which house belonged to him (plaintiff): but he did not
agree to put up wenn blinds to increase the value of his
property; defendant ordered him to do it. Did not sell
the house before defendant came in. The " man " re-

(plaintiff). The order was given to plaintiff by defendant
himself, in UM bar. lie repeatedly pare him orders to
mend the net; but could not say whether any person was
present. As to the leek produced, he hel made some of
the entries, within the last six months, copying them from

should put him in the County Court for attendance on
his wife. While Hansford was tuending the net, which
he did voluntarily, be suppled Ilawitord with beer; hot
but that was not the ale he had charged for. The
brackets and rollers that Hansford supplied he objected
to pay, as Hansford agreed te put up these things when
he came into the house, and Smith paid him £9 for
fixtures. These brackets and rollers were left in the
housa-Hansford, as to the bill for beer, denied it
entirely, he had not had any but what he had while
making the net, and that he allowed a shilling a day for,
off his wages-Mr. Edward Lowman was in the Lord
