PICTURE Oh HEALTh.

WNEALTHis is characterised in an individual by
n the absence Of all pain, suffering, or affection
IN any part of his body by the free aud regular
crcse of his functions without any exception
They consist in having q good appetite at meal
times, an easy digestion, free excavations, without
looseress or costvencss at least in every TWEEN
" -four hours and without hoatdyness, or burning
at the passage the free issue of the water without
acrimony or burning aud without a reddish sedi-
ment which is always sign of present or an ap-
preaching pain; quiet sleep without agitation or
troublesome dreamS no taste of bile or other bad
taste in the mouth upon rising in the morning; no
sourness or disagreeablc rising of the stomach; a
clean tongue; a sweet breath; no itching, pimpcs or
spots on the skin; no piles no burning heat upon
any part of the body; excessive thirst when un-
exposed to labor or other known cause; no inter
ruption to any natural evacuation pain at their
periodical return.
Where the state Of the system does not harmon
re with the above picture Of health, it is of the
greatest importance that no time be lost IN sending
for doctor, or in the Of foolish remedies too
often the result of speculation; instead Of this
te n dose of BRANDRETH'S PILLS be taken,
which will not deceive, but will at once restore
health to the organ or part that requires it.
All who wish to preserve their health, all who
are determined to defend their life against the en-
croachments of disease which might send them pre-
maturely to the grave, will, without hesitation, have
recourse TO the Brandreth Pills. when the state Of
the system does not hormonise with the above pic.
tuie of health.
Those who live in country where contagious OIL
other diseases prevail, should often think of this
true picture ofheatb and observe himself with par
cular attention, in order to act accordingly. 'Th,
wise and rightly directed will follow this advice
the unwise are left TO their own destruction.

AMOUNT OF SALT IN THE OCEAN,
Bakewell estimates the average amount OF
salt IN the ocean at two and half per cent
From computations based on the amount of
tho tides, it is highly probable that the All
lantic and Pacific oceans are, in their CEN
trail parts, not less than nine or ten miles in
depth. Wore We TO place the average
depth of the ocean at five IN les, it would
doubilcss be a moderate estimate. In su-
Eerficial extent it covers full three fiji S If
the earth's surface. Assuming then five
miles as the average depth of the ocean.
and two and d half per cent. as the average
amount Of salt contained in it, were the
waters entirely evaporatcd, tho saline resi-.
due would form stratum Of salt more than
five hundred feet in thickness. covering

Mr.. Evans hoped the previous business

bills that could be acted on at any time.

investigations made by the grand jury, into
the cause of the recent disturbances at Ken

state Of things in that strict, entirely incom-

inhabitants. Facts have come to light show

riots. Mag ;strates knew these facts, and yet
they have waited until this time as il would
seem, to make the disclosures. Or, il they
have made il before, they have not done SO in
the formal manner necessary TO effect sup
preston of the evil.
The grand jury have found no little diff
