understood that DIR. BrandIelh has the strongest
claims upon the public. 1t is true that every in
dividual who makes trial of the Biandreth Pills
concede them to he the best medicine they ever
used. They are indeed medicine about which
there is no mistake. Their value in climate so
changesble as ours cannot be sufficiently approCiat-

they cure colds and consumption is prevented
Those who have n redundancy of bile find them Of
the most essential service and should there be de-.

have an equally beneficial effect. Often has this
important medicine saved valuable lives IN those re-
gions where the dreadful yellow fever was prevail

lection being received into the system will be al
most certain to prevent any material inconvenience
And at no stage of this dreadful epidemic is there
so proper medicine as the Brcndrelh Pills. Let
this medicine be universally used in this
disease and no loss of blood allowed, and few
very few would he its victims. SO il is with other
diseases, Assist nature with this all important
medicine to remove morbid humors from the blood
and do not resort TO bleeding or mercury and we
shall have very great scarcity ofpcysons afflicted
with cronic maladics. The feathercd tribe-th au
imal kingdom. over which we are the lords, are
not afflicted with chronic maladics; neither should
we be if it were not for our prize which occasions

harmonzes with her, which mildly but surely re-
moves all the impurities of the bIoodwhich strength

only few items:
The comments of the English Press on the
refusal of the American Government to Arbtrate
on the Oregon Question look warlike
The Revolution movement in Poland had
spread extensively, and a Government had been
organized at Cracow. The latest adyices how
ever, appear to indicate that the struggle of
the unfortunate Poles for Freedom will prove un-
successful.
Cotton had slightly advanced, and remained
firm.
The prices of Wheat and Flour had i'm

The Tariff was still under discussion in Par
lament, with prospect of being speedily
completed in accordance with the plans of the
Ministry.
There had been no action in Parliament on
the Oregon question,
