along a line of 1000 miles, cannot be convs-

Order, ain this case is of the most interesting
mature, and the question presented by tee

been "msconceptiOn." from an incomplete
record by the Court, and it was therefore,
" in the first instance, errOneOusly decided at

no small magnitude, for by the first decision

ErrEcTs OF COFFEE ON DrsEAsE.-Dr
Mosley observes, in his "Treatise on
Coffee" that the great use Of the article
in France is supposed to have abated
the prevalence of the gravel In the
French colonies, where coffee is more
used than in the English, as well as in
Turkey, where it is the principal bev.
erage, not only the gravel but the gout
is scarcely known. DR.. Faur relates
as an extraordinary instance Of the ef.
feet of coffee in gout, the case of MIR.
Deverau, who was attacked with the
gout at tho age Of twenty five and had
it severely till he was upwards Of fifty,
with chalk stones in the joints Of his
hands and feet; but for four years, pre-
ceding the time when the account of
his case had been given to DIR. Faur to
lay before the pubic, he had, by advice
used coffee, and had no return of the
gout afterward.

THE STAFF OF LIFE.-It is said that
bread is the staff of life. What il the

such is made by those who rely solely
upon ID. b. DeLaud g. Co. - celebrated
Chemical Saleratus, which can always
be found in well appointed grocery
stores. No grocer who regards the
health and good will of his patrons will
be without it.
