Superfine Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly OF
the eytractiye matter and reslnous portion OF
the bark, wherein its virtue as medicine Is
known to reside, is separated Ill degree
from the hard hbrous AMI other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will, therefore, be
found preferable, on account OF Its purity,
strength, fnencss, and the small quantity
REQUIRED, to any other form III which the
bark has hitherto been generally used.
The superiority Of this bark will be partl-
cularly ma.iilest In the treatment OF those
diseases in which, on account OF an irritable
state Of the stomach and bowels, tine rcqnl>
size quantity Of The impcrlectiy ground bark
m common use Canhot be administered and
as any Of the watery Or spirtdous prepara-
items are we'll known to be Intellectual IN UT
oent cases, it is presumed that the present
form viii prove generally acceptable.
The proprietor thinks 1t unnecessary to
offer any apology 10 those OF his MEDICAL pre-
tbren to whom he is personally known, when
he recommends TO them in particular TINS
eIepant DOW der OF bark since many OF them
have, in common with him, had SO frequent
ndDainiul occasion, in the course OF long
rraclice, 10 depiore the want OF SO desirable
form of using thatinestimabie remedy; and
50 fully is he assursd Of It's superior efficacy,
from numerous proofs OF lis elects, that he
offers il 10 tie faculty in general, without
fearing the imputation ofimpositlon.

government Of that island to send off all the
French inhabitants as had been done at Gu

NATURAL HISTORY.

Remarkable Sea Monster.-Mr. Eeill
lately read before the Wernerian Mature al
History Society extracts from different au-
ehors TO show the existence of tte Grfat
,Snase of the Northern Ocean, and conclud-
ed by stating that within few weeks, vast
marine animal, shaped like snake, and
not described in the works Of systematic
naturalists, had been cast ashore in Orkney.
This curious animal, it appears, was stranded
in Rothesbotnf, bay, lin the island Of S'ronsa,
fcoas. Of Scotland The creature was dead
when it came on shore, and the tail seemed
to have been injured and broken by dashng
among the rocks. The body measured SIS
feet in length, and the circumferebce of the
thiokest part was equal to the girth OF an
Orkney poney. TIE head was not. longer
than that Of seal, and was furnished with
two blow holes. From the back number
Of Glamenss resembling in texture the sub
stance called Indian sea grass, hung down
like name On each side of the body were
three large fms, shaped like paws, & joint
ed. Before measures could be TAKEN for Sc
curing this rare animal for the inspection of
naturaiists, violent tempest unfortunately
occurred and beat the carcase into pieces.
Some OF the fragments, however, have been
collected by Mr.. Malcolm Lang, & are de-
posted in the museum of the university of
Edinburgh. Mr.. Nail concluded with re-
marking that no doubt could be entertained
that this w as the kind of animal which has
served as the prototype of all the wonderful
sea,snakes. whose appearance is on record;
and that although the unfortunate destrue-
ton fthe specimen by the,s storm may pro-
badly render it impossible to, form correct
generic character on Linnean principles,yet
