HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The weekly meeting of the Health Committee was
held yesterday morning at the Council Chamber. Mr.
Alderman Dover presided. The other members present
were—Messrs. Haydock, Bowring, Barton, Steel, Job,
Crellin, and Holden.

The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and In-
spector of Nuisances reported various particulars of the
operations
in their several departments during the week;
from which it appeared that 173 nuisances complained
of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken
to remedy them ; 1,492 houses in the unhealthiest dis-
tricts, containing 4,958 apartments and 1,455 cellars,
had been put under examination, with the view of im-
proving their sanitary condition.
Dr. Cameron, for the medical officer of health, reported
that 185 deaths were registered during the week ending
August 4. being 78 less than the average of the same
week of the last ten years. Zymotic diseases caused 42
deaths : of which 26 were from diarrhoea ; fever, 5 ;
scarlet fever, 2 ; measles, 9. Diseases of the lungs,
including consumption, caused 46 deaths; diseases of
the heart, 6 ; diseases of the brain, and apoplexy, 14 ;
convulsions, 10; diseases of the liver, 4; dropsy, 4;
debility, 29 ; old age, 2.
Dr. Cameron also reported that in the two weeks
ending 4th August the lodging-house inspections were
as follows :—Day, 777 ; night, 499: total, 1276, of
whom 58 were unregistered houses. During the fort-
night 9 informations were laid for preaches of the bye-
laws, 4 notices given to whitewash, and 13 applications
received to register. The informations heard before the
magistrates were 9 in all. In 8 fines were inflicted,
and 1 was acquitted, being the first offence.. Ten appli.,
cations for registered and 1 for additional lodgers were
recommended to the committee for approval. The
numbered of registered lodging-houses on the 9th Rill'
last was 568. Since that date 59 had been certiP;d
by the committee, exclusive of the 10 recommended for
registration that day. Seven registered Ir'eepers have
given up their houses, and deduct thr;se from the 59
registered during the last month, it., now left a total of
620 on the register.

The sub-committee resolved that the report be
approved, and that &Ile additional application for regis-
ters be granted,
Mr. BowEING called attention to the report on
lodging-houses, stating that it had come to his know-
ledge that persons have said the committee had been
remiss, and he wished to call the attention of the press
to the report, which he believed should go to the public
in its entirety.

A letter from the Inspector of Nuisances reported that
there was no Just foundation for the complaint of Mr.
Archer with respect to the conduct of labourers in a
house in Silver-street.

The attention of the Surveyor was directed to the
state of the house occupied by a Mr. Turner, publican,
who was fined by the magistrates some time since for
allowing his house to remain in a dangerous state of
repair.

Mr. Rini:Ey asked whether the deputation, empowered
six months ago to wait upon the churchwardens of the
parish, for the purpose of obtaining, permission to keep
open the church-yard gates for the convenience of the
public, had waited upon these gentlemen ?
The CaArnmAll replied in the affirmative, and stated
that they bad spoken about the matter until they were
quite tired with the Rector and the Churchwardens,
who did not appear desirous of complying with the com-
mittee's request ; but the simplest mode of determining
the matter, would he. for the comthittee to open the
gates on their awn responsibility, and keep them open
at their own expense—Providing, however, a railing
each side of the footway for the protection of the graves,
The CLERK explained that the Churchwardens had no
power to grant the committee's request.

The CItAIRMAN promised that no one could take
offence at opening the gates.

The matter dropped, and the meeting after some con-
versation terminated.

Rush of blood to the head is frequently caused by a bad con-
ditto's of the stomach or bowels, but by a course of Holloway's
rills, these distressing symptoms are prevented, or, if they
have made their appearance, are quickly exterminated. Diz-
ziness of sight, headache, and other alarming symptoms are
also relieved by this wonderful aperient; also, all internal
disorders are curable by them, because by their influence on
the circulation they reduce the entire system to a healthy
action. The, first, effect of Holloway's Pills is to cause a flow
of saliva during mastication to excite the stomach to secrete.
sufficient gastric juice to digest the food, whose chyle, enter-
ing the blood, bestows on that fluid wholesome tonic pro-

Lit invalids avoid the fearful dangers of spurious and injurious
italtations offered under a variety of false pretences. Nevill's
imitations are prohibited by the tligh CoUrt of Chancery undera penalty' of £5.000 against Alfred Hooper Nevill and his
agents;, and the pretences that Nevlll has a patent for Arabica
Food, and that Du Barrys are connected with such patent are
utterly false. No, Canister is genuine without the name Barry
