HIGHLY CONCENTRATED FLUID EX-
TRACT SARSAPARILLA

Eradicates Eruptive and Lucrative Diseases
of the Throat, Nose, Eyes, Eyelids,
Scalp and Skin,
Which SO dishgure the appearance, purging
the evil effects Of mercury, and removing all
taints, the remnants of diseases, hereditary or
otherwise, and is taken by adults and chill
dren with perfect safety.
Two table-spoonfuls Of the Extract Of Ssrsa-
parilla, added to pint of water, is equal to
the Lisbon Diet Drink, and one bottle is equal
to gallon of the Syrup of sarsaparilla, or the
decoction as is usually made.
An interesting letter is published In the
'Medico- Chirurgical Review" on the subject
of the Extract of Sarsapsrilla in certain affeo-
tons, by Benjamin Travers, F. R. s., eto.
Speaking of those diseases, and diseases arising
Il ON the excess Of mercury, he states that no
rmedy is equal to the Extract of sarsaparilla;
its power is extraordinary, more 30 than any
iher drug / am acquainted with. 1t is, in the
srictest sense, a tonic with this invaluable
attribute, that it is applicable to state OF the
system SO sunken, and yet 80 irritable as rem
d. rs other substances Of the tonic class un-
aS ailable or injurious.

Mexican authorities. The Chanticleer was off
Altala, in q dangerous position, and fred signal
guns for assistance. pilot went out and re-
leased the ship from danger, but the Captain
refused to pay for the services rendered, and
went to Mazatlan. The Collector OF the port Of
Mazatlan notified one OF the officers of the
Chanticleer, who was carrying specie on board
70 avoid export duty, and had him arrested,
and on being searched gold was found on his
person.
The captain of the Chanticleer came ashore
in great excitement, declaring that the vessel
and himself were insulted by the search of his
Eubordinates. Words followed, which ended In
the Collector ordering the captain to be
searched, under the impression that he was also
implicated in smuggling.
The Captain then went aboard the Chanti-
cleer, and notified the inha abitants by procla-
nation, that he was about to lombard MAJ itlan
for the insult to the English flag. Numerous
notes passed between Commander Bridge,
General Corona. and the civil authorities; the
American Consul acting as mediator Ulti-
mately Bridge modified Els proclamation so as
to place the port of Maz1tan under blockade,
SO far as Mexican vessels were concerned not
interfering with American or other foreign YES
sells, until he can receive orders from the Ad.

The action of General Corona and the Mexi-
can authorities are generally app owed by the

both boats were covered with passengers. The

Earthquakes.

The foreign journals received by
the last mail bring minute accounts of
the distinct shocks of an earthq
which were felt at halfpast ten o'clock,
on the night of October 30, in the
west of England and in the southern
district of Wales. In some situations
the shock was so slight as to be hardly
perceptible, while in others it was
more severe than the earthquake in
England on October 9Th, 1913. The
most singular incident was the fact
that persons in the upper chambers of
houses did not perceive the motion of
the earth so decidedly as those who
were in the Easements. Up to the
tirneof the shocktheweathes was cold,
but the 'hext day the fhafi nolieter fpse
IL degrees. Another singular incident
is the discrepancy as to the direction
of the motion, some observers stating
that the earthquake wave passed from
north to south others, from south to
north, and q few from east to west.
From these facts it may be inferred
that the internal disturbance took place
directly beneath a central spot in
England, and that the effects were diff
fused in every direction. Signs OF
earthquakes in remote antiquity are
still observed in the western counties
of England and IN Wales. > AThus the
geologists report that the old red
sandstone of the district around Usk
has been burst open by the upheaval
of an enormous dome ofsilurian rocks;
and that the rivers run along the
tracks of ancient earthquakes. The

of 1186, by which the cathedral OF
Lincoln was destroyed, principally
affected the eastern counties. The
earthquake of 1875 was even more des-
tructive, many Of the largest churches
in England having been demolished
1t is remarked that both of these
earthquakes in Great Britain took
place during one of the long periods OF
