RING WORM OR SCALD HEAD.

POWER'S ALOPECIAN, OR FOX OINTMENT.
THE ALOPECIAN COMPLAINT, or
Falling off of the Hair, is thus designated by the
Proprietor and Inventor of this Infallible remedy, from the
Ring Worm in the human species so nearly resembling a
complaint in Foxes, which occasions their hair to fall off in
the same manner.

The inventor of this preparation has for the last ten
years cured several hundreds of persons gratuitously, until
the demands have become so numerous, that he feels it a
duty that lie owes to himself, his family, and the afflicted,
to give it publicity.

Letters of thanks, for the cure of several respectable
persons, are placed in the hands of Messrs. Butler, and
may be seen on application.

13RITISII ANTIQUITIES.—A few days since
a tenant of Lord AsHnuttxxam's, at a firm called Foes-
still, in the parish of Llanelid, Breconshire, having occa-
sion for some stones for building, a large heap, or earn, in
a field on that firm was resorted to for the purpose, when,
after the removal of a considerable number, an immense
vault or sepulchre was discovered. A few human bones
and part of the skull were discovered within, and upon
being exposed to the air, crumbled into dust. No inscrip-
tion was visible by which its date or history could be as-
certained, but there can be no doubt that it was the place
of interment of some British Chieftain, previously to the
erection of Churches with cemeteries attached, for the pur-
poses of burial.—There are two other earns or cromlechs
in the same field. A few years back a somewhat similar
relic of antiquity was discovered on an adjoining farm of
Lard AiIIBURNHAX'S. In that instance, within the
stone coffin (or cistfaen, as it is denominated in the Bri-

tish languag,), an urn or rude earthen ve,sel, containing
fine sand or ashes, was found, which the labourers destroy-
ed upon finding it contained not the treasure they looked
for.— Cambrian.

In moist or rainy weather, we feel oppressed
and drowsy; because all moisture greedily absorbs our
electricity, which is the buoyant cordial of the body. To
remedy this inconvenience, we have only to discover a good
non-conductor of electricity, to prevent its escape from the
body ; and this we have in silk, which is so excellent a
non-conductor that the thunderbolt or the forked lightning
itself, could not pass through the thinnest silk handker-
chiefprovided always tint it be quite dry. Those there-
fore, who are apt to become low-spirited and listless in
damp !,weather, will find silk waistcoats, drawers, arid
stockings, the most powerful of all cordials. Flannel is
also good, but n,thing so powerful as silk. 'Wash-leather
is likewise a non-conductor of electricity, and may be
used by those who prefer it. But silk is by far the best,
and those who dislike to wear flannel next to the skin,
will find equal benefit by substituting cotton shirts, drawers,
and stockings, with silk ones over them ; or, where more
heat is required, flannel ones between the cotton find the
silk, for the silk should always be outermost,—Athenceurn.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The field for the Derby has lost one of the finest horses
in it—viz. his Majesty's Electress colt, which died at
Newmarket on Thursday night, of inflammation. The
event was immediately communicated to Messrs. Tatter-
sall, by Dehue Radcliffe, Esq., (his Majesty's Gentleman
of the Horse). The loss will be very severely.felt by
many of" the betting men, and who will have to pay as if
for a beaten horse. The value of the colt may be esti
mated at 2,000g5. This, we believe, is the only horse
the King bad in the Stakes. The consequence of this
event was the advance of the four first favourites. The
betting yesterday was not very heavy.
