Ifor.Low&l's Pmts.—LIVES. COMPLAINTS.—The virtues of
these incomparable Pills are fully appreciated in every part of
the civilized world. As they act on the general system through
the circulation, there are few diseases which they cannot cure,
but they are especially efficacious in all disorders of the liver.
For these they ate an indubitable specific. A child might
physic itself with these pills, and without the slightest danger,
except from such excess as would make the most wholesome
aliment in the world an evil. By reducing the superfluous
bile, and giving tone to the stomach, they effect a perfect and
permanent cure. _ .

CURIOUS ACCIDENT.-A young workman of Axminster
was trying to dance in a cart to the music of a hurdy-
gurdy, when a sudden movement of the horse threw him
off his legs, and instantly changed the dance into an
unexpected somersault over the back of the cart. The
unpractised tumbler reached the ground head foremost,
whereby he sustained a partial dislocation of the neck.
Happily, one of his companions had the presence of mind
and the resolution to pull the joint at once into its place,
and thus to prevent a' fatal result of the accident.
