here is no medicinal preparation which may be so
.thoroughly relied upon in the treatment of the above

of the body, over, or near the affected parts, it disappears
under the friction of the hand, penetrating nt once to the
source of the evil, and thus performs its healing errand,
rapidly, safely, and without pain. In all long standing
casea, Holloway's Pills should also be taken as they purify
the Blood cud expel all depraved humours from the system
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, and
Bronchitis.
This ointment is irre,dstible in the care of these throat and
pectoral complaints, which when neglected olten end in

rut,bed upon the Cheat and back, night and inorniu:,-;,
penetrates the skin, and Ulu& absorbed, is carried dircet:y
to the Longs, where, in immediate con.t.,ct with the whole

driven &A from the fire or gas, and where the
exhalations of many persons living and
breathing together mix with the other iumes
of impure gaseous matter. It is difficult for

a naiad_ -an-trained to observe the efieet

these eNposures to -danger, and to rea,lise all
the evil which is inflicted. These who

the coarsest to the finesCflle, and they ha-e
been successful in accomplishin their
purpose. The invention, -which is an improve-
ment upon the American inventions. dis-
penses with the neec:-..ity of the use of the
file in a workshop, au..l economises nearly all
the mechanical labour, By means of the
emery-wheel a number of accessories to tho
lathe can be produced at one half the ordinary
cost. Messrs. Bateman also had on view
specimens of their grinding lathe and other
machines, which are excellently constructed
and skilfully designed. Models of an
improved catting-out press were shown by
Messrs. Taylor and Challen, engineers, of
the Derwent Foundry, Birmingham, and
attracted much attention. Its form is such
that the dies, cutters, and punches ardreadily
got at, changed, or adjusted, and it is attached
to a substantial frame. They also showed
models of their circular shearing machine
for cutting strip metal, iron or steal; and
also plummer blocks and couplings. Some
interest was evinced in a working model of
a locomotive wagon with a new method of
coupling. The invention is applicable to
colliery and railway locomotives, and its
chief merit consists in the fact that the
coupling can be affixed by a man from the
side of the wagon, thereby obviating the
danger of having to go between the trucks to
secure them. Messrs. Harris and Pearson,
of Stonrbridge, showed specimens of their
boiler-seating block andflue covers,by means
of which a great saving of fuel is effected

suffer rarely complain, and if they do com-
plain it is not of the cause of their suffering,
since that is to them a sealed book; and
those who casually observe do not complain,
for they do not see all that should be seen.
It should not be forgotten that men of
every occupation are very much influenced
by season. We are all open to it, and in our
daily lives various forms of speech are used
to express the fact. The weather is dull, it
is damp, it is depressing—such are
the terms often heard, and they correctl y
convey the impression which the speaker has
in his mind. Still they do not express the
whole truth. There can be no question that

at the different seasons of the -year we are
being subjected to great physical changes,
which materially affect our health and our
life, and are induced to a large extent inde-
pendently of our will or of our actions. We
are gaining and losing weight of body,
independently of occupation, at particular
times of the year with a regularity which is
as correct as it is interesting. If the year is
divided into quarters, there is generally
loss during the first and fourth, and a gain
daring the second and third. The body
becomes heavier during the summer months,
and lighter during the winter. The quantity
of carbonic acid gas thrown off is much
greater in winter .than in summer. lin-
questonabl r variations ol temperature, light.
&c., are the principal agents in causing those
changes which affect the physical health;
but there can be little doubt that in addition
to their direct influence a periodic action
occurs in the system which adds to or
diminishes the effect of these agents alone.
Experience has shown, and medical science
has proved, that there is a periodic variation
in the weight of man during the year, the
six summer months being a time of gain, and
the six winter months a time of loss. The
fluctuations begin and terminate with the
vernal and autumnal equinoxes.
Workers in the great human hive should
never lose sight of the fact that, in addition
to the other extraneous evils connected with
occupation must be added the effects due to
overwork. There are two descriptions of
overwork—the physical and the mental.
The physical, carried to the extent of pro-
ducing disease, is perfoAned.in a few occupa-
tions in which, when they are properly
carried out, the highest attainment of bodily
' health may be secured. Some men are kept
too long engaged in what is considered light
work, but which, in time, tells upon the
constitutional power. Other occupations
are too heavy for human strength, and
nothing bat mere drudges of life can be
called upon to carry them out. The powers
or forces of the body are limited by the size
or capacity of the organism of the frame,
and a long-continued strain upon its
resources can have but one result. In three
cases out of six, the first indications of
physical mischief are presented in the heart
and circulation, two in the respiratory system
in the form of bronchial disease, and one in
the digestive system. The evils of mental
overwork are, s a rule, more obviously con-
saicnous than those which attach to the
physical. The brain is taxed beyond its
capacity, and ultimately gives way. But-in
this pushing age of competition what is to be
done Men and women must labour in
order to live, and the line between work and
overwork cannot always be drawn with that
nicety which should be kept in view if the
Afl health is to be maintained.

QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE IRON
TRADE.
The quarterly meeting of the Birmingham
Iron Trade was held on Thursday at the
Exchange, and was exceptionally well at-
tended. Besides the local iron and coal
masters there were representatives of pig
iron and manufacturers' firms, and also
merchants and buyers from the adjoining
counties, London, Liverpool, the North of
England, Scotland, and South Wales. As
was generally expected no alteration was an-
nounced in the finished iron of the list
houses, and prices consequently remain on
the basis of £7 10s. for bars —with the
usual proportion for the Earl of Dudley's
manufacture—and the customary extras for
other descriptions of iron. In unmarked
iron the quotations were advanced for nearly
all descriptions. Common merchant • iron
was quoted from 10s. to zel a ton higher
than at, the last quarterly meeting, and
medium qualities were about Ds. a ton
firmer. Plain rolled sheets for shipments
realised from 10s. to 12s. 6d. a ton more,
and sheets for working-up purposes required
by local consumers secured about ss. advance.
Galvanised sheets, which have been rising
rapidly since the advance in spelter, were
disposed of at an improvement of from 255.
to 30s, There was no change made in the
price of the best qualities of pig iron made
by the Lilleshall and other leading firms, but
common forge iron and common melting iron
were quoted about ss, a ton above last
Quarter Day rates the former now sellingat
..-C2 2s. 6d. a ton mid the latter at an addition
of half-a-crown upon that figure. A brisk
business was done in all (lasses of iron both
for consumption in this district and for
export. Liverpool merchants placed in-
creased orders for pig ircn and old metal for
the United States, and also some specifica-
tions for hoop iron. The great demand for
raw material in the United States is due to
the American finished iron manufacturers
seeking to check the advance in the price
of pig iron at home, the duty upon English
pig iron -going into American ports being
relatively much lower than that upon finished
iron, and enabling them to convert it into
the finished article cheaper than they can
import the manufactured iron from this
country. There is, therefore, only a very
limited quantity of finished iron going across
the Atlantic, and the demand is chiefly
confined to hoops for binding bales of cotton.
For Australia and East India some consider-
able specifications were received for bars and
sheets, and there were some satisfactory
repeat orders for japan, between which
country and this district there is a growing
trade. Tin-plate manufacturers did a brisk
business at firm quotations, and several of
the firms have orders on hand sufficient to
keep them fully engaged for some months to
come. Colliery proprietors made no official
alteration in prices, but many transactions
Ifor furnace and forge coal are being made at
lan advance of is. a ton upon previously
existing rates. Furnace coal in the Tipton
I district is selling at 9s. a ton. Most of the
collieries in the Tipton and West Bromwich
districts are working nearly full time, and
occasionally extra shifts are being resorted
I to. It is considered probable that an advance
in the price of coal will be officially declared
on the Ist November, and the colliers will
then come in for increased wages under the
Birmingham agreement.
A number of models and specimens of
niility to manufacturers and others were
el..hiriited in the Exchange. Mr. G. Baker,
local agent to Mossrs. BatoTnan and Co.,
