HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OlNTMENT.—Consumption is almost
inva iably preceded by great debility---cough,loss of appetite,
and flushes. The alterative and tonic influence of Holloway's
invaluable remedies operates like a charm in subduing. these
formidable syMptoms. A course of these purifying Pills shou'd
at once be commenced; and at the same time Holloway's
Ointment should be briskly rubbed at least twice a day over
the back and chest.. The Ointment is more effective when used
after sponging with warm brine and well drying. The conjoint
effect of this treatment is marvellous; a change for the better
is observed within a week, and the improvement steadily pro-,
giesses, the appetite returns, the shortness of breath ceases,
and the harassing cough soon vanjshes altogether.

NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW-FOUNTAIN PEN.-A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co.,:is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, andthisbarrel
'can betaken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded., Another feature
in this pen is, that one din in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The Pen* itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' ofßces, banks, and indeed in every place; it 'will
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
5 re all who use 'it will give a full verdict in its favour,

CONBUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE
.-‘‘ I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill, Liverpooi,J will prove of more value, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any- other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
sound and rrfreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander .Tralles—see Thomson's
Materia Afedica, page 175, vol. 2. . The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist :--‘. I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in ecmjunc
tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable vemedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. 11. Brett, Ph. Dr.,
M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jnrispru
.dente, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound
and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop-
peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing
sale. agents have been appointed is all principal towns and

AN OFFICER'S mentioning the word
" fall," we cannot forbear quoting the miraculous
escape of a general officer in the West Indies, to which
the famous leap of the last of the Manielukes, or the
engulfment of Curtius in the Roman Forum, are but as
the hop-skip-and-jump of a schoolboy's play ; nay, the
imaginary descent of Monte Christo,in his sack through
the air, is tame and common-place when compared with
this real adventure of General Moore's, the veracity of
which is attested by the word of a British officer.
Here is his statement, as quoted by Sir Francis R ead:
—" United Service Club, March 18, 1860. In June,
1848, at the Island of Dominico, in the West Indies, I
fell over a precipice of 237 feet perpendicular height,
upon the rocks by the sea side. This occurred about a
quarter past seven
o'clock p.m., then quite dark, as no
twilight exists in the tropics. Every bone of my horse
was broken; and I conceive my escape from instant
death the most miraculous that ever occurred. •
I have often thought of putting down all the circum-
stances of that extraordinary accident, but the dread of
being taken for a Baron Manchausen has restrained me.
I do not expect that any one will believe it, although
there are many living witnesses. No do I expect any
sympathy; for as soon as I could hold a pen I detaiha
the catastrophe to my mother to account for my long
Silence. I received in reply in due course a long le.ter
detailing family news, without any allusion to my
unfortunate case, except in a postscript, in which she
merely said, ' Oh, William, I wish you would give up
riding after dinner.' "—Wm. YORKE MOORE, Maj u.-
General—P.S. During the fall stuck to my horse."—
