Dangerous.

The chief danger from Dyspepsia is that the
reduced strength Of the system may disable II
from surmounting other intercurrent diseases.
Sympathetic affections of the liver and lungs
Otter have their origin in Dyspepsia, and may
become organic diseases and constitute not on-
lyasource ofinconvenience but danger. Hence
the sooner treatment is commenced after the
first symptoms ofDyspepsia are manifest. with
more certainty can the disease be thoroughly
expelled. Do not delay 10 seek advice from un'
warranted SOURCES. but procure Robacks
Blood Pills, take them IN small doses to stimn'
late the stomach AMI intestines and gently act
upon the liver. Then take Roback's Stomach
Btters regularly after each meal to tone the
stomach and assist the digestive apparatus
and you will find the reefwill be almost imme'
diate and the cure like magic. The Bitters
should be continued for while after all symp'
toms of the disease have disappeared. These
medicines are prepared with the utmost care
of materials having especial reference to disea
ses of the blood and internal organs and can a
all times with confidence be relied upon.-dw.

tions given IN l746 BY the Paris Parliament
TO Monsieur de Paris" that is to say, the
Partisan executiener-in regard to the course
he was 70 pursue ia breaking criminals on
the wheel: AFTER undressing the prisoners,
no mattsr whether mAleor fsnsle, until moth
ing bnt i short shirt covers them, he will tie
them to The st. Andrew cross on the scat
fold, stretching their limbs - far ss possible,
and turning their elbows outside. After giving
the chaplain notice to leave the sca6old he
will take the bar ian iron bar, four feet long
and very heavy and commence striking on
the joints Of the criminals limbs. He will
commence at the left shoulder, crushing the
bones by two deliberats blows. One blow
will be sufficient for the upper arm, two for
the left elbow, two for the wrist and band.
Two heavy blows vi be laid on the left hip
bone, three on the left knee.joint, Two, we'll
laid on, on the left leg, and one on the left
foot: Monsieur de Paris, will then ~ait
minute or two, and commence work
ing on the right side Of the
culprit, commencing ut thu foot, and 6nish>
ing :. the shoulder. The ereAier Of the
court viii see TO it that these instructions are
strictly carried into effect. The screams OF
the cuIprit must not be needed by monster,
nor must be give him the coup de grace be-
fore finishing on the right shoulder. The
coup de grace is to consist Of three heavy
blows IL be delivered on the breast OF the
prisoner; if the prisoner is wcman the coup
de grace will be delivered under the ribs. lest
her bosom should break the force Of the blows.
The body of the dead culprit will he delv-
erred to the medical faculty of Paris, witch
will file repart on the condition OF the
corpse with the greffler Of the Parliament y
This horrible mode Of execution was Wit
messed on an average once week by the Pa
risians. One Of the last victims Of this afro
cous cruelty was n poor servant girl who bad

dresses from her mistress, and who was bro

Her agory lasted exactly eleven minutes, aid

lfter her knee joint had been crushed

Marie Antoinette had been appealed TO TO save |
