H0bensack's Liver Pills.

No part of the system is more liable to
disease than the LIVER, it serving as a FL
terer to purify the Blood, or giving the
proper secretion to the bile; so that any
wrong action of the liver effects the other
important parts Of the system, and results
variously, in Liver Complaint, Jaundicc,
Dyspepsia, &c. We should, therefore, watch
every symptom that might indicate a wrong
action of the Liver. These Pills being COM
posed of ROOTS and PLANTS furnished by
nature to heal the sick: Namely, 1st, An
EXPECTORANT, which augments the Sc
erection from the Pulmonary mucus men,
brane or promotes the discharge Of secreted
matter. End, An ALTERNATIVE, which
changes in some inexplicable and insensible
manner the certain morbid action of the sys-
tenn. Sd, Atomic, which gives tone and 81 rength
to the nervous system, renewing health
and yigor to all parts of the body. 4th, A
CATHARTIC, which acts in perfect harmo-
ny with the other ingredients, and operating
on the Bowels, and expelling the whole mass
ofcorrupt and vitiated matter, and purify
ing the Blood. which destroys disease and

FEMALE OccUPATIoN.-Women in

with the idea that if they engage in some
occupations, they should loose "their
position in society" Suppose it be SO |;
surely it is wiser to quit position we
cannot honestly maintain, than to live
dependent upon the bounty and caprice
of others; better to labor without hand,
than to eat the bread of idleness o,
submit to feel that we must not give ut.
terence to our real opinions, or express,
our honest indignation at being required
to act a base or unworthy part. And in
cases, however situated, every female
ought to learn how all household affairs
are managed, were it only for the pur-
pose of being able to direct others
There cannot be any disgrace in learn
ing how to make the bread We eat. 70

16 A fish, peculiar to Surinan

% A fish, peculiar to Surinam,
called amibleps, has the front, or corner
of the eye, shaped like the two sides of
glass prism the pupils is therefore d.
vided, horizontally, ia the middle; one
half being adapted for seeing in the air,
and the other in the water. These sin.
gular fishes run out Of the deep water
into the Shiny banks of the river, in
quest of a species of worm, which form
their principle sustenance; in doing
which, their bo'lies are necessarily half
out of the water. Thus, while search
ing in the mud with the lower division
of their eyes, with the upper, they keep
vlgilent watch on their constant ene-
mics, the birds of prey.
