Important and Unequalled Discoveries
DR.. JAMES NJ. MARTENS APPROVED
FAMILY MEDICINES.
NTIRING RESEARCH, travel and labor,
~ combined to the advantages afforded by an
extensive and diversified practice have enabled DR..
J. M. MARTIEN to make various highly import
ant discoveries in the healing art.
In offering his prepa rations to the human family,
DR.. Martien fearlessl7 hazards the assertion, tina!
they are not only unsurpassed, but not eguaHed,
either for their curat We properties, or for mdness,
safety and certainty in their operations, by any
other preparations compounded for similar purpo-
ses, now before the public.
DR.. James VI. MARTENS Inrinci5le Pills, for the
cure of Fever and Ague and all other Fevers, have
not in single instance failed to accomplish per-
feet cure when the directions have been strictly
followed. This medicine has in various violent and
desperate cases, effected radical cures after the pa
tents had been abandoned and their condition pro-
nounced hopeless, by medical gentlemen of high
professional character.
DR.. MARTENS ANTI-BILloUs VEGETABLE UNI
vERsAL LIFE PILLs.-This medicine will certainly
remove all impurities of the blood, and is an eff
fectual remedy in many Of the complaints which
aflict the human system. and for the various pain
full and vexatious diseases incident to the female
sex, no preparations now known to the public are
equal to these pills. As a cathartic, they are en-
rely safe, always eicacious, and operate with un-
usual mildness: they also act as cosmetic, and
render the complexion clear, rich and fair.
Dr.. MARTENS .4NTI- DYsPEPTIC AND ANTI-CoN-
suMPTIvE PILLS These pills are Principally pre-
pared of Indian remedies, and operate almost like
a charm. For dyspepsia, consumption chronic
cough, pain in the breast, splitting blood and com
plants of the bowels, generally, this medicine is
certain cure when taken according to the accom-
panying directions. For many of the complaints
with which children afflicted, it is truly effca
cious and without rival.
Dr.. MARTENS NEVER FAILING WORM DESTROY
Nc MEDIcIEE.-This preparation now ranks among
the most important discoveries of this, or any
other age, for expelling worms.-H nerer fails

EARTHQUAKES.

The craters Of volcanoes act as safety
valves; where there IS no safety valve there
must be an earthquake. Sixty.one earth.
quakes have occurred on the coast OF Chill.
An earthquake at Lisbon, capital Of Portu-
gal, in 1855, shook all the seas Of Europe,
the north Of Africai, and the West Indies,
and even Lake Ontario! 1t lasted only six
seconds, but in that time il destroyed one
quarter Of the dwelling houses, all the pub.
lie buildings, and 10000 inhabitants OF Lis.
bon. During an earthquake at Lima, the
officer Of a ship says that the ship was vio-
lenty tossed, the surface OF the water boiled,
and was covered with dead fishes. In 1896,
three-quarters Of the city Of Lima and 90,
900 Of its inhabitants were destroyed by an
carh.quake.
In 1922, an earthquake destroyed the
greater part Of Aleppo in few seconds,
together with 10000 persons.
On the first OF January, 1897, an earth
quake visited the countries along the east
ern extremity Of the Mediterranean. The
towns Of Damascus, Acre, Tyre, and Sidon
suffered great damage, and Tiberias and
Sa'et were entirely destroyed, with 5000
souls.
On the Goth Of September, l7l7, the
town Of Gueatamala was greatly damaged
by an earthquake, and entirely destroyed
by another on the goth June, 1878.
Caracas was destroyed by an earth.
quake, with 10000 OF its inhabitants, in
1912.
During an earthquake. in 1897, Quito
was greatly damaged and Red banda level
ed 10 the ground, and 10000 persons were
buried in the ruins.
The town Of Lima has always been very
subject to earthquakes. Besides the earth
quake already mentioned, it was almost en-

and again on the 2Sth October 1746. Du.

Islands have been formed by the force Of
volcanic action, and it is a curious fact that
earthquakes frequently have an opposite eff

Japan, in China, were covered by the sea

sea. In 1919, large tract Of land at the

land was raised ten feet. This caused n
great wave OF the sea twentyeight feet
high, which rushed in and destroyed the
town OF Jalcagnano. The amount of land
elevated was equal to ff,yseven cubic
miles, or 365,o0O.ooo OF the great Pyra-
mids Of Egypt. During an earthquake in
the eastern part of Iceland, in 1919, 1000
square miles OF land were converted into
an inland sea; a, the same time 7 900 square
miles, or more than one.fourth Of Iceland,
was raised ten feet.-Ne,C York Gazette.

DILIGENCE lN BUSINESS.

Governor BwGes, Of Massachusetts, in
some recent remarks before the Boston
Mechanics Charitable Association, gave
pertinent illustration Of Scripture from the
history of FRASKLlN. Ii was related OF the
family, he said that Franklin's father was
in the habit of reading 10 his children a
chapter in Proverbs, wherein was the fol-
lowing verse: "Seest thou man dIigent
in his bu,ness' he shall stand before mean
men" The children heard. remembered,
nd pondered upon the sacred truths OF
revelation. By-snd-by the old puritanical
father was laid in the grave, but the effect
Of his teaching remained. And during the
war of the Revolution, when the American
nation sent their first Minister to France,
it was Benjamin Franklin, the Boston me-
chanic, who represented the Republic, and
"stood before kings" al the magnificent
Court OF 81 Ciaud.-North american.

Mr. DEAR MrRRoR.-You have published
MIR. Willls's description Of the review in
Hyde Park--wil you oblige US with Punch's
account OF the troops and the weather?
Your constant reader, EMILY.
With pleasure, Here it is:-Ers.
Though there can be no duut Of the read
mess OF our gallant soldiers at all times to
stand fire. il is obvious that they cant stand
water. lfthere is to be a review, and a
shower Of rain comes on, our cohorts are
clearly afraid of it. The idea OF a wealth
erbeaten soldier is evidently taken from the
fact that soldier is easily beaten by the
weather.
As the postponement OF a review is Sc.
rious disappointment TO the public, we
should recommend umbrellas TO he at
ded TO the guns IN the same way as
psrssols are appended to ladies' riding
whips. The experiment might be tried al
all events with one regiment, who should
be called the "FrH Patdpluies. ex
ercise need be very simple and, "Put up
umbrellas" might correspond with "FiH
bayonets."
We seriously throw out this hint for the
consideration of the War office. II it is
thought advisable to apply the same plan
to the Cavalry, there could be corpse cal
led the "Hedvy Ginghdms."
II our plan Of adding umbrellas to the
Announcements Of military were 10 be car
ried out, it would be necessary TO make
some alterations in the martial songs Of our
native land; but to show how this might
be done, we subjoin spirit string speci
men.
March to the battle field,
We fear not florida Bella;
bastard is the slave who'd yield;
Wave high the stout umbrella.
What though the foes may fly,
AS they run we'll wing em,
Conquer we, or braveIy die:
UnfurI, unfurl the gingham.
Base is the coward slave
Who would turn and flee;
None but the good and brave
Shall WELD the parapiuie.
Hence, then, with knavish fears!
The road to glory's plain,
Whenever that parapluie appears
Which p'raps will brave a thousand years
The battle and the rain.
