The value Of this medicine is now widely

extended. 1t is approved and highly recommend
cd by physicians, and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from The root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice.
Its operation extends 10 the remotes parts of the
system, and consists in removing diseased action

Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cursof any
virulent disease but requires the aid of stimulant
Alternative, or antiseptic medicine In diseases Of
the skin and flesh, a combination of these three
classes of medical agents is highly desirable. All
these properties are combined in this preparation ;
and instead of operating successfully upon the
system, as they must necessarily do when taken
separately, they operate simultaneously, and 10
perfect harmony when administered in this form.
Its tonic property strengthens the digestion, and
improves the appetite. Its Alternative tendency
carries of the accumulations Of morbid matter ;
and its antiseptie influence neutrazes the virus,
by which the disease is fostered. Its uniform sue
cess in curing and relieving the various diseases
for which il is recommended, is established by a
multitude Ol facts.

the body, so that il would have been impossible
to touch any part that was free from the humor

like those Of a fish; the hair fell out in laroe
quantities, and walking caused the most excrucia-
ting sgonies, as it affected the joints more seyenIv
than any other part. She suffered also long time

Of those events presented in the pages of that dis

those perilous days to be found, perhaps, in the

that at length the leaders of the Tory party a,
whom the thunders Of its eloquenee were especial

described-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Lotfers
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to its establishment, There was no Journal in
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet the
necessities Of the Anti Naonal- church agitation.
Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption
induced new state of things, placing the actors
in new positions Of observation: nor could they
give utteunce to their perceptions Of State and
Church Pocy-their new sYmathies-their new
emotions, without some organ ofthought than any
hen exiant Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the neces-
sity of new outlet of opinion, and the immediate
creation Of the North British Review. The basis
of this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineieenih
century nor is it to be overlooked as one Of the
striking Characteristics of the times, and the granl
principle which Robertson, Smith. and many Of
tho eminent men ofScotland took the field centu.

dieated in this able work, and in The same literary

its pages has been rife, il will be remembered with
series Of powerful articles, tending to the redue-

developments made a few years since, respecting
the wretched and, then, unheard of horrors Of some
branches Of the mining population of England,

to remove the still existing marks of feudalsm,
