ments to unnecessary alarm in which Ministerial
writers have of late so exuberantly indulged. For

On Sunday last Lord Alvanley, in consequence of
indisposition, ordered his servant to procure billl
dose of E .som salts; hat instead ',fretting theta from
his Lordship's apothecary, the servant bought them ..t
another shop. Lord Alvanley had no sooner s-tni-
lowed the medicine given to hitn than he became cr-y,
nneasy, which, along with the peculiarity of its to ice,
led him instantly to 'nisi ect that he was pOIiVI/P:i.
Mr. Warlrop,- one of his Majesty's surgeons, saw INr,l
Alvanley immediately. Emetics and proper antideirs
were administered; and we are hail)y now to be Ale
to state, that, excejit. some slight weakness, his Lori-
ship has perfectly recovered. On inquiry, it na•
found that the suopwed Epsom salts were twa. •
by a TiI:•CC boy, and in place of which hr had giv:a L!s
ounce of a salt of aim. As this is one of tbr instawis
of dangers, from the caralessneAs an.l iagbaThy, v:
