the box. They are the safest, most sure and
enectual remedy for coughs. colds. cousump-

has never known an instance where they did
not give perfect satisfaction. Several thou.
sand boxes have been sold within the last three
months restoring to health, persons in almost
every stage of consumption, and those labor
ing under the most distressing cold and coughs.
They do not check and dry up the cough, but
render it easy, promote expectoratIon, aIlay
the tickling or irritation, and remove the prox-
innate or exciting cause. They are made from
a combination ofthe most vrluab!e expec,orant

offered of their wonderful virtues, from those

DosE.-One lozengeis dose for an adult. and
may be repeated from three to six times day,
as required. Children, eight years old, half of
one: four years, aquarter. and so in proportion.
Very small children or infants will take them
best dissolved in little water. Should they
act as an emetc, or produce nausea, the dose
must be lessened to what the stomach will bear.
Half of one will generally be sufficient to take
before breakfast, as the stomach is more easily
sickened. No i'll effects can arise from an
over dose, as it will cause the stomach TO re-
ect it; and although not pleasant sensation,
will be found TO give relief. Where there is
much pain in the breast or side one FISHERMAN s

DuELLING IN ENGLAND.--The trial Of the Earl
of Cardigan, a colonel in the army, and peer
of the realm, for fighting duel with Capt. Rey
nolds, of his regiment was expected TO take
place in the House of Lords in the latter part of
February. In notice Of the subject the Bos-
ton Journal remarks:-This is case which exctes
great interest-not only on account of its bearing
on the cause Of morality, but for its novelty
no prosecution for duel, unattended with fatal
consequences, having been instituted, in mo-
dern times in that country. II is said that the ex-
penses of fitting up the House Of Lords for the
occasion will exceed 100000, and the same cere
mony will characterize the proceedings as though
he were arraigned for high treason.
