HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE.
DU BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids
and Infants' Food.

THE REVALENTA A RABIC A .
saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect
digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing
sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or
enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspep-
sia), cough, asthma, consumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea,
all gastric derangements, haemorrhoids. liver complaints, flatu-
lency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria,
catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism,
gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep-
essness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy,
cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, even in pregnancy or at
sea, sinking fits, and bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest,
pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is
the most digestible and nourishing pf all foods, and suitable for
nvalids and infants in all complaints.
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more
than slopy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du
Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants'
Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received
from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may
now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been
perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical
treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th
(Cure No. 48,413) :—" Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the
Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other
remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It
has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his
Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."
Cure No. 54,216 of the Marchioness de Brehan of seven years'
liver complaint, wasting away, debility, nervousness, irritability,
with a nervous palpitation all over, bad digestion, constant sleep-
lessness, and the most intolerable nervous agitation.
Cure No. 78, of dyspepsia, from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart
de Decies, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Waterford; "I have

dyspepsia, net v ousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency,

ness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies.

The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com-
pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and
in close proximity to the prOfitable Mines of the celebrated Real
del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has
yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly
£3,000,000 sterling.
No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry
since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del
Monte Company.
Ore yielding only £6 98. per ton pays all expenses— The resta
therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts
of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton,
cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe-
cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced
by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per
ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost_incurred by that
company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was
made.

Prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for shares, may
be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers,
Solicitors, and Brokers.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

" Economy."

Since Lord Justice Selwyn died nine months ago,
his place on the bench in the Court of Appeal in Chan-
cery has not been filled up. This crippling of the
equity department has given rise to much complaint;
nor is it clear what may be the motive of the Govern-
ment in omitting to fill up the place, except it be the
desire to save the salary during the time of vacancy. But
if the Solicitors' Journal be correct, there will be
no such saving. Lord Justice Selwyn 's successor will
be entitled to the salary from the death of the late
judge ! All the Governm ant will have gained by
keeping the Co'irt for the best part of the legal year
in a state of inefficiency will have been the right to
hand over to the fortunate individual upon whom
they may eventually confer the vacant office nine
months' salary (£4,600), for which he will have done
exactly nothing,

Government Wrappers for Newspapers.
On the abolition of the impressed stamp the
Government will supply stamped wrappers
for the conveyance of newspapers. This
plan will do away with the inconvenience
that would otherwise result from the com-
pulsory use of the adhesive stamp. The new
stamp to be employed will be similar to the present
postage stamp, but one-third smaller, and instead of
the words " Postage One Penny," will have the
words " Postage Halfpenny." The colour, as at pre-
sent arranged, will be dark purple.
The New Irish Commander-in-Chief.

Sir William Mansfield, who has just returned from
India, and who is now about to succeed Lord Strath-
nairn as Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Forces,
is described as having on his face or figure
little sign of the mental and bodily work against
which he has had to contend for a term of twelve
years in India. The Army and Navy Gazette says
he is still apparently "full of fight," and referring to
his speech at the Literary Fund dinner,
asserts that any one who had - heard him
would have been aware that he was listening to a
man of thought, and of decision. It appears that
Captain the Hon. W. llarbord would have probably
accompanied Sir W. Mansfield to Ireland, but that
the Horse Guards insisted on the observance of the
five years' rule, and on his going back to his regi-
ment for two years more.
The Army and Navy,

The Army and Navy Gazette understands that it
is not improbable that Colonel W. L. Ingall, C. 8.,
62nd Regiment, and Colonel P. W. Mac Mahon, 36th
Regiment, will be appointed permanently to the Staff
of the Bengal Army whenever vacancies may occur.
—The same paper has the following items:—
A distinguished-service pension is vacant by
the death of Colonel W. Fenwick, 10th Foot.—
Admiral Warren will retain his present .command
at the Noro until June.—Captain Cowper
Phipps Coles, C.R, has embarked in the Captain.
The gallant officer is in a very weak
state of health, but it is expected that
the short cruise will be of benefit to him.—
Lieutenant-Colonel F. Middleton has been appointed
superintendent of the new garrison instructors. He
will have the rank and pay of assistant quarter-
master-general.---Sir R. Airey will in all likelihood
succeed Lord Paidet as adjutant-general at the
Horse Guards.—Her Majesty's birthday will be
celebrated in Malta on May 30.—The United Service
Gazette says that Colonel P. W. Macmahon, C. 8.,
commanding the 36th Foot, and Colonel W.
Lenox Ingall, C. 8., commanding the 62nd Regiment,
have been appointed to the Brigade Staff in India,
with the rank of Brigadier-Generals; and that a
good service pension has been conferred on Inspector-
General of Hospitals William Mackenzie, C. 8.,
C. 5.1., A.M., and M.D., of the Indian Medical
Department, Madras.

she sets forth
that the only object involved in the bill now before
Parliament is, that exceptional women should be ad-
mitted to share in the rights and responsibilities of
average men. Those who perform a man's work ought
to have a man's privileges whatever they may be.
It has been said that the bill endeavours to "esta-
blish a new and invidious disqualification in the case
of married women as against their unmarried sisters."
This Miss Wedgwood thinks utterly irrelevant. It
is true that the measure does not attempt to remedy
all the disadvantages under which women at present
stand. "Its very object being to do away with the dis-
qualifications of sex, it does not re-introduce enact-
ments founded on sex. It merely says, give human
beings who have similar burdens similar advantages.
When married women can hold their own property,
they will, of course, enter on all the rights
and all the duties of property ; the measure
now before the House clears the way for
such a step, by proposing that the full rights of pro-
perty shall be common to women as women. No
doubt the wife who supports her family by her own
earnings would be a character still more exceptional
than the spinster who kept her own house. She
would also need in a yet higher degree the pro-
tection and. respect which it would be one important
result of this bill to confer on poor women."
