Or OlS6dS6S OF bQ6 tIurOab ana Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their cstma-
ton, as it has become better known Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young Children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOrdI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
AstLnaa is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOrGL in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
ihan assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

The WATER TANKS AT ADEN.--Aden,
which has not inaptly been styled the Glib
raltar Of the East, is an isolated corner of
a continent where scarcely morsel ofveg-
citation or q blade of grass is to be seen,
only at rare intervals in the sand leafess
shrub. For here not drop of rain falls
often for years in succession, though the
mountain peak, less than four miles from
the harbor, is capped with cloud.
Water is supplied chiefly by distillation
from the sea, and also from huge tanks.
Driving to see these tanks, one passes
strings of camcls, and tall, dirty, melan-
choly, scowling Arabs, and q wretched
Arab village of huts of mud and straw
like warren of ill-instructed rabbits, and
then up n hill through Notifications and
covered ways hewn in the rock, where
white-linen-coated sepoy scntinels stand
on guard, and down on the other side
the military environments and to the Arab
town of Alden Here are the tanks, q very
strange memorial of the past. They are
hewn out of solid rock one above another
in steep gully of the cloud-capt noun
tains, from whence at long intervals torrent
of water pour down and fill them. Tradi-
tion assigns them an origin anterior to the
time ofAbraham, but there is no fragment
of sculpture to help to give them date.
They are not only huge irregular basins in
the rock, capable of holding, each, from a
quarter Of q million to three millions of
gallons, and for centuries were almost
choked with rubbish, till within the last
few years the British Government has
cleared them out and made them availa-
BILE again.-Lld,per's Weekly. ...
