under Consumptive Maladies, and families who have
suffered from the ravages of Consumption (and what
family in the empire is there who has not to
.deplore a
loss caused by this scourge of the human race?) will find
a satisfactory answer to the question, " Is Consumption In-
curable," in an original article by Dr. DENIS CRONIN,

Holloway's Pills—November Fogs—lmpurity of the air.
—As the blood in its healthy state sustains and renovates
every part of the living system, so when it is impoverished
or impure (as it must of necessity be whilst November fogs
prevail and the density of the atmosphere prevents the dele-
terious gases rising above our heads) it has a precisely con-
trary effect. It is manifest that no medicine, which does
not reach the circulation, can exterminate disease. These
wonderful pills operate directly, powerfully, and beneficially
on the blood, venous and arterial; they remove all the me-
phitic vapours absorbed from the atmosphere ; they relax
no air-cells of the lungs, affording a larger supply of
oxygen, and they expel disease and prolong existence.

There was avcry old negress at Port-au-Prince de:

was 'unable to meet it. Instigated.by another Pers°llt
