AoAoway'9 AASs 1 NERVOUS DIsoRDERs.-W What is more fear. iul than breaking down of the nervous system To be excitable or nervous in small de- siee ls most dlstressing, for where can a remedy oe lound! There is one drink but little beer, Sihe' or sPirlIs or far better none take no cof- ice, weak tea being preferable; get all the fresh air you can take three or four Pills every night; eat plenty of Solids, avoiding the use of siOps and if these golden rules are followed you will be 1 happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have any nerves.
 | MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERs.-If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are SO fa- nous it is their purifying properties, especially their power of cleansing the blood from all impu. rites, and removing dangerous and suspended se- cretions. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for female complaints. they never fail, never weaken the system, and always bring about what is required.
 SICK HEADACHES AND WANT or APPErrrE.--. These feelings which go sadden us, most frequent-
 y arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstruc. ted precipitation, from eating and drinking what is unfit for us thus disordering the liver and sto- mach. These organs must be regulated If you wish to be well. The Pills, if taken according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both liver and stomach, whence follow as natural consequence, a good appetite and clear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any other medicine is used for these disorders.
 DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEys.-1n all diseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be af- aicted with stone or gravel or with aches and pains settled in the Joins over the regions of the kidneys. these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ointment should be well rubbed into the small of the back at bed time. This treatment will give almost immedi- ate relief when other means have failed.
 FOR SToMAcHs OUT OF oRDER.--No medicine will efectually improve the tone of the stomach as these Pills; they remove all acidty, occasion ed either by intemperance or improper diet They reach the liver and reduce it to healthy action they ale wonderfully cficacious in cases of spasm in fact they never fail in curing all disorders of the liver and Stomach.

FORCE OF GuNpowpER,

The removal Of the ruins in old st. Pauls
in London. formed an instructive chapter in
architecture. We learn from the j" Life of
Wren " that the walls, eighty feet perpen-
dicular, and FIVE feet thick, and the tower at
least two hundred feet high. though cracked
and swayed and tottering, stuck obstinately
together, and their removal, stone by stone,
was found tedious and dangerous. At first,
men with picks and levers oosened the
stones above, and then canted them over,
and laborers moved them away below, and
piled them INTO heaps. The Sant Of room
dor between the walls OF the church and those
Of the houses there Law a street only some
so yards widel made this way slow and un-
safe. Several men lost their lives, and the
piles OF stone grew steep and large. Thus,
however, Sir Christopher Wren proceeded,
gaining every day more room, till he came
to the middle tower that bore the steeple.
The remains Of the tower being nearly
two hundred feet high, the laborers were
afraid to work above; thereupon he conclu-
ded TO facilitate this work by the use OF gun
powder. lie dug hole BY the northwest
pillar OF the tower, the four pillars Of which
were each about fourteen feet in diameter.
When he had dug TO the foundation, he then,
with crows and tools brought on purpose,
wrought 4 hole two feet square, hard into
the centre of the pillar. There he placed
little tin box, containing eighteen pounds Of
powder, and no more. A cana was fixed to
the box With quick match, az gunners call

box to the ground above and along the
ground was laid the train Of powder with A

effect Of the blow.
This little quantity Of powder not only

two great arches which rested upon it, but
/ also two adjoining arches Of the aisles and
all above them. And this il seemed to do

saved the work Of 900 laborers.
