[ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE GREAT POPULARITY OF
lIOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS IN THE WEST IN-
DIES IN THE CURE OF ALL SKIN I)I4IEASEB.—A young
gentleman, residing in St. Kitt's, was afflicted with a
most distressing skin disease, termed " the Shingles."
He had the best medical advice that could be obtained in
the island, but finding that he derived no benefit from
their treatment, he iietermined on having recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had a most grati-
fying effect, for in a very limited period these invaluable
remedies completely cured him. Mr. T. C. Cable, of St.
Kitt's, vouches for the accuracy of this statement.—Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM POISONING.—On Satur-
day last a labourer employed on the railway at Newton,
near Stowmarket, ti eying very thirsty, and perceiving
near the spot where he was working a bottle lying on
the ground, which had been put there by a fellow-work-
man, and imagining it contained beer, he resolved to
quench his thirst, and took a hearty draught of its con-
tents before he discovered the mistake he had made,
which, unfortunately, instead of beer, turned out to be
a bottle of horse oils, for the use of the horses employed
by the contractors. The man suffered severely from the
powerful nature of the oils, but by administering proper_
remedies he is now likely to recover.

Lloyd, a well-known angler, was plying his craft on the
river Gwrfai, near Glanrafon, one day last week, hls
progress was arrested on seeing a snake stretched across
a bridge which ho was attempting to pass. He retreated
a few pace{, and snatching up a stone from the road,
threw it at :110 unwelcome visitor, knocking it into the
river, but. singul ir to say, the reptile had no sooner
reached the mountain stream purling below, than the
jaws of a very lar;:e eel, measuring between two and
three feet in length, received it, and it was no more seen.
