VI tnc SlOHaC1, Liver ana
Bowels.
The Stomach is the great centre which influences
the health disease of the system-abused or de-
bilitafed by excess-indgestion, offensive breath
and physical prostration are the natural conse-
quences- Allied to the brain, il is the source of
headaches, mental depression, nervous complaints
and unrefreshing sleep. The Liver becomes af-
teced and generates bilious disorders, pains in the
side, &c. The Bowels sympathize by Costiveness,
Diarrhoa and Dysentery. The principal action of
these Pills on the stomach and the liver, lungs
bowels and kidneys participate in their recupera-
tive and regenerative operation.
Erysipelas and Salt Rheum.
Are two Of the most common and virulent disor
ders prevalent on this continent to these the Oint
ment is especially antagonstic, its modus orerand
is first to eradicate the venom and then compel the

PAPER TIMEER AND VEGETABLE PARCu-
NENT At the American Institute Fair, In
New York, there are on exhibition paper
doors, pals aud tubs, as to which the New
Yolk Tribune makes the following remarks
Near the door of the dining hall we see two
specimens Of a material designed to replace
wood and carthcnware in utensils, doors, lamp
stands, and applicable to many uses. One pre-
paration Il called straw paper and the other
napier machc. The straw paper is prepared By
taking large sheet of common straw paste
board, soaking it in warm glue, laying 1t on q
die or mould Of the hardest wood or of metal,
adding other sheets till the required thickness
is obtained, then Subiccting the whole to strong
pressure Upon releasing the screws sheet
