IMPORTANT To MoTHERs.--hlrs. Winslow's Soothiag
Syrup, for children teething, is perfectly harmless. It
producee natural, quiet sleep, by relieving the child from
pain. and the little cherub awakes us " bright as a but-
ton." It cures wind, colic, and regulates the bowels,
gives rest to the mother, and health to the child. It has
been thirty years in use in America, and is now Bold iGi
this country by all the principal medicine dealers at Is

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND Pints—Rheumatism and
rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases, be-
cause their victims know that they are safe at no season,
and at no age secure. Holloway's/ Ointment, after fom-
entation of the painful parts, gives greater relief than
any other application, bat it must be diligently used to
obtain this desirable result. It has been highly coin-
mended by rheumatic subjects of all ages and of both
! sexes for rendering their attacks less frequent and less
rigorous ; and for repressing the sour perspirations and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills hove proved the greatest blessings in re-
moving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which had as-
sailed persons previously healthy and in the prime a
life.

MACHINES AND REAPING, MACHINES are now as
generally adopted, that improvements in them are nat-
ters of the greatest interest. it may be useful, therefio-a,
to call attention to a feature which the Royal Agra ul-
tural Society evidently considers to lie of the utmost im-
portance. It appears that in what is called the ''old
system of mowing machines the crank is placed much
above a line with the knife, so that the thrust on the knife
is made at a considerable angle. In the new system tho
crank is in a line with the knife, and the threst is in a
direct line. The result appears to be, great reduction of
draught to the horses and much less ware :to the ma-
chine. The Royal Agricultural Socity's 1010.111il says—
'The credir.of introducing the short connecting rod and
direct thrust lo the knifer helougs to Messrs. Burgess nod
Key, who first exhibited at Plymouth. " By the us ini-
tiated the difference between the two systems may not he
appreciated, halite importance is apparent from the
fact, that at the recent Paris Exhibition a reaping ma-
chine made by the above named firm tu their new sys-
tem (and which was the only machine of their make ex-
hibited there) was declared to ba the best, wad received
the Grand Medal, and the exhibitor the decoration of
the Legion of Honour. Fooa .11.0. a Wi..kly llesonger.
