Among the symptoms attending Worms
are, disagreeable breath. especially in the

epiIeptic fits, and sometimes priauou OF

Cuba to Spain. ard Spain no doubt in her treaty
with England. agreed to this arrangement made for
her beaeht, BY which West Florida was separated
from Louisiana, and consequently Louisiana was to
be bounded on the east by the Mississippi. In other
words Louisiana was confined to the west of the
Mississippi, which, with that boundary and in that
extent, was then in the possession of France and nm
med ately ceded to Span. Had this territory then
continued in the hands of Great Britain, and LOUISIANA
on the west of the Mississippi continued IN the hands
Of Snain, no one could have doubted for an instant

government chose they should remain separated and

Spain had intended to convey this country TO France,
