THE SERPENTINE.—Dr. Aldis, medical officer of
health, has reported upon the impure state of the
water in the Serpentine and the deaths from drowning
there to the Nuisances Removal Committee of St. George's,
Hanover-square, and subsequently wrote to her Majesty's
First Commissioner of Works upon the subject, which has
elicited a reply, signed George Russell, to the following
effect :—" That the present condition of the Serpentine
and the best means of making and keeping it pure and safe
aro now under consideration, but that it is not intended to
undertake any operations of magnitude until Parliament
shall have voted the necessary supplies."

ADVERTISENIENT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause
of collections of water in the human body it must be pru-
dent to disperse them as soon as possible. The readiest
means of accomplishing this end aro supplied by using
Holloway's ointment to increase the activity of the absor-
bents. When this ointment is well rubbed upon the skin
it removes all venus congestion, overcomes all mechanical
obstruction to the free return of the blood, and prevents
tho deposit of serum and water. Holloway's pills likewise
augment the absorbing powers, and in many other ways
through the liver, stomach, and kidneys increase tho cura-
tive powers of the unguent and restrain the disposition to
